Miltochrista paraarcuata displays a range of variation in external morphology and in the male genitalia. The forewing markings vary greatly: the medial band ranges from narrow and angled in middle (Figs 10, 16) to broad and obliquely straight (Figs 11, 12), postmedial series of streaks may be present (Fig. 11), or may be diffused into a broad medial band (Fig. 12). Hindwing ranges from unornamented (Figs 10–13) to hindwing with a medial band (Fig.14). In male genitalia, the distal saccular process varies greatly in size and position of spinal appendages (Figs 26–30). Similarly, the distal costal process (Fig. 27) is quite long and robust in few specimens as compared to the other ones. Female genitalia diagnosed under M. curvifascia. Distribution. Karnataka (Kirti & Singh 2016, Singh et al. 2021); Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Goa (present study).Published as part of Singh, Santosh, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Joshi, Rahul & Singh, Navneet, 2023, Taxonomic review of the Miltochrista hollowai and M. curvifascia species-groups with descriptions of two new species from India (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini), pp. 150-160 in Zootaxa 5315 (2) on pages 155-160, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5315.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/813037
Do women still lack the ‘right’ kind of human capital for directorships on the FTSE 100 corporate boards?
No full textSiri Terjesen, Val Singh and Susan Vinnicombe INTRODUCTION In FTSE 1001 company boards, only one in 30 executive directors is female, and overall, women comprise just over 11 per cent of FTSE 100 directors (Sealy et al., 2007). This number is substantially less than in Norway and Slovenia (22 per cent and 16 per cent respectively in 2006) and higher than in Japan and Italy (0.2 per cent and 2 per cent respectively in 2006) (Terjesen and Singh, 2008). Human capital theory (Becker, 1964) provides an obvious basis for understanding the continued exclusion of women from corporate boardrooms. It is linked with resource dependency theory (Pfeffer and Salancik, 1978). Human capital theory suggests that, given an increasingly uncertain business environment, boards should be composed of individuals who can provide access to a breadth of resources. Critical resources include access to prestige and legitimacy, financial capital, and functional and geographic market knowledge. During the 1990s, surveys of chief executives and chairmen in several countries reported that women were generally perceived to lack the qualifications and experience required from directors (Ragins et al., 1998; Catalyst/Opportunity Now, 2000). Thus, a human capital-based argument was used to explain women’s absence from boardrooms, whether or not the women lacked human capital in reality. In this chapter, we use human capital theory to explain recent appointments of new female as well as new male directors. Although previous studies examined the human capital of entire boards or of existing directors, we have little knowledge about..

Mesothrips crenulatus Varatharajan & Singh, comb.n.
No full textNagathrips crenulatus (Varatharajan & Singh) comb.n. Mesothrips (Nagathrips) crenulatus Varatharajan & Singh, 2000: 48. Specimens examined. Holotype female macroptera: NE India, Kekruma in Phek district of Nagaland, (Lat: 25 0 62'265" N; Long: 94 0 25'025"E), 1642m, from the galls of Bixa orellana (Bixaceae), 11.ii.2000 (O. Tarun Kumar) (Registration No. 4944/H17) in the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. Paratypes: 2 females with data as holotype; Mizoram, Dampa Tiger Reserve (23 0 32'42" N; 92 0 13'12" E), 4 females from stems of Mallotus sp. (Euphorbiaceae) 12.iii.2014 (Th. Johnson) in the Insect Museum, Division of Entomology, CAS in Life Sciences, Manipur University; one paratype in National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources, Bengaluru. Biology. Only females of N. crenulatus have been discovered. These were collected from the stem and also empty rolled-leaf galls on Bixa orellana (Bixaceae), and also from the stems of Mallotus sp. (Euphorbiaceae). Larvae were present in a colony on the stem of Mallotus, together with a few pupae and eggs, but attempts to rear further adults were not successful. Feeding habits of this species could not be determined. The larval aggregation suggests that the species is not a predator, but it might be phytophagous or mycophagous.Published as part of Varatharajan, R., Johnson, Th. & Tarunkumar, Singh, 2017, Relationships and revised status of Nagathrips (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripinae), pp. 577-580 in Zootaxa 4231 (4) on page 579, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4231.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/29264
Professor Puran Singh: Scientist, Poet and Philosopher
No full textProfessor Puran Singh, a unique synthesis of a poet, philosopher and scientist, rose like a celestial star on the firmament of modern Indian literature. The many splendored personality of this great chemist, mystic poet, visionary and interpreter of the Sikh cultural consciousness still beckons scholars to explore the extent of his vision in various fields. After a splendid in-depth study of the Life and Work of Puran Singh, Dr. Hardev Singh Virk has made a successful attempt to unravel the persona of this multi-dimensional genius in his book titled 'Professor Puran Singh - Scientist, Poet and Philosopher.'
The book is an anthology of 11 essays - 7 in English and 4 in Punjabi. In the 'Introduction to the book, the author traces a brief history of the kindling of his interest in the 'Life and Works of Puran Singh.' Then he articulates the purpose of the book to elaborate the ideas of this eminent scholar through different mediums to reach a wider audience. Dr. Virk stresses that poetic and other literary works of Puran Singh are of International standards and worth a Nobel Prize in literature. Still, sadly these works have not been adequately projected at the world forum

Katha volynkini Joshi & Singh & Singh 2018, sp. nov.
No full textKatha volynkini Joshi & Singh, sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 13–14) Type locality: Garampani, Meghalaya, India. Type material: Holotype, ♂, INDIA, Meghalaya, Garampani, 09.IX.09 (Coll. R Joshi; Reg. no. PUP /RJ/135). One paratype: INDIA, Mizoram, Champhai, 27.IX.09 – 1♂.(Coll. R. Joshi; Reg. no. PUP/RJ/135a). Description: Adult (Fig. 1). Forewing length 14mm.Head with frons brown; vertex yellow. Antennae simple, brown. Labial palpi yellow, black at tips. Thorax with patagia and tegulae dark yellow; pectus pale yellow. Forewing creamish yellow with velvety texture; apex with more tinge of yellow; a deep groove from base of cell to tornus; underside minutely suffused with fuscous, termen pale; inner margin excurved at subbasal area. Hindwing concolourous. Legs black, suffused with some yellow on forelegs. Abdomen yellowish with some white at base. Male genitalia(Fig. 13) with uncus broad, sparsely setose, apically hooked; tegumen smaller than the very long vinculum; saccus deep v-shaped, with knob-like tip. Valvae typical of the genus, distal saccular process ending in a small spine. Juxta rectangular. Aedeagus (Fig. 14) moderately short and broad; vesica four lobed, apical lobe with female shoe shaped spine and basal lobe with a stout, blade-like spine; one lateral lobe with a dentate sclerotized plate, another with a field of minute spines. Diagnosis: Externally, the species of Katha are very similar to each other and are better diagnosed on the basis of male genitalia. Due to the absence of apical spine in aedeagus, and presence of two spines and a dentate plate in vesica, K. volynkini sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 13–14) is closely similar to K. conformis (Figs. 2, 15–16) but can be distinguished from it in the following attributes: a field of minute spines on a lobe opposite to the dentate plate is present; apical lobe of vesica is short with a female shoe shaped apical spine, vinculum broad “v”-shaped and saccus knobbed. Whereas, K. conformis lacks the field of minute spines, characteristic for the new species; the apical lobe of vesica is tubular with a nail like apical spine; the vinculum is narrow, “v”-shaped and the saccus is simple. Other closely related species is K. suffusa, which differs from the new species in the presence of single spine in vesica. Etymology: The species name is dedicated to Dr. Anton Volynkin, Arctiinae specialist from Tomsk, Russia.Published as part of Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet & Singh, Jagbir, 2018, Description of a new Katha species from India, with a key to the Oriental species (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae), pp. 435-442 in Zootaxa 4407 (3) on page 436, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4407.3.10, http://zenodo.org/record/121652
