Maxillary lyra and cheliceral spinules as in figs 1–2; male palpal organ as in figs 3–4. Remarks. On examining the stridulatory setae of the type specimen of H. himalayensis, it was found that maxillary lyra had enlarged paddle setae on prolateral side of the maxillae (Fig. 1) and thorn setae on retrolateral side of the chelicerae (Fig. 2), which is a characteristic feature of the genus Chilobrachys Karsch, 1891 rather than the genus Haploclastus Simon 1892, where the maxillary lyra consists of a transverse row of spinules on the prolateral face of the maxillae (Fig. 5). Therefore, Haploclastus hima- Figures |–5.

    A political biography of Alexander Raven Thomson

    No full text
    This thesis has been an attempt to isolate the contribution that was made to the fascist movements of Sir Oswald Mosley by Alexander Raven Thomson. Despite featuring in most studies of Mosley's fascist enterprises, until this study little was known of his life and thus the proper context for his work had been lost. In this attempt to analyse Raven Thomson a chronological structure has been adopted. Special attention has, however, been placed on his developing thought in response to Oswald Spengler's prognosis for the future of Europe, before and after his acceptance of fascism in both its inter-war and post-war incarnations. This has enabled new insights into his Corporate State ideas within fascism and the anti-Semitic campaign within which he was an active participant, both of which had been the source of previous academic interest. Unlike other studies in this field which present the reader with either an examination of Mosley fascism to 1940 or British fascists after the war, this study bridges this artificial gap and thus seeks to illustrate the continuity of fascism in Britain. This longer period of study allows for wartime internment and Raven Thomson's part in the revival of fascism to be fully discussed. The result is a biography that attempts to place the subject within its proper context

    Mitzoruga Raven, 2009, gen. nov.

    Mitzoruga gen. nov. Type species. Mitzoruga elapines sp. nov. Diagnosis. Males differ from those of Eupograpta in the short deeply bifid RTA (Fig. 14 e) and females by the epigyne having two lobes beside a median septum (Fig. 16 a). They differ from those of Nuliodon gen. nov. in the slender form of the median apophysis with its long axis in the same line as the long axis of the embolus origin (Fig. 17 a); tips of the RTA elongate, bifid (Fig. 14 e); extensive comb of spine-like bristles along the retrolateral cymbial groove (Fig. 15 b). Also, unlike Nuliodon gen. nov., the carapace is marked either with stripes (Fig 14 g) or a dark submarginal bar. Description. 8 eyes in 2 rows, both rows clearly recurved (Fig. 14 a); eyes of similar size but lateral eyes larger than medians. Claw tufts dense and similar on I–IV; scopula dense on tarsi I–IV and metatarsi I, II, distal, weaker and divided on III; absent on leg IV and tibiae. Ventral spines on tibiae and metatarsi I, II, weak, not paired, similar in male and female. Trochanters with wide, shallow asymmetrical notches. Maxillae (Fig. 14 h) short, basally truncate, ectal edge slightly indented basally, rounded ectal apex with long serrula, ental edges form rounded apex; shallow, glabrous, diagonal groove basally. Labium longer than wide with indistinct submarginal grooves. Chelicerae small, unmodified, fang short; dentition 2 R, 3 P. Weak proventral spines on femora I, II. Tarsi III, IV bowed in lateral view. Male palp. Tibia short with large RTA with 2 similar apices joined by unsclerotised trough (Fig 14 e). Cymbium short, wide, apical cone pointed, with dense ridge of short blunt thick recurved setae apically (Fig. 17 e); no dorsal scopula; retrolateral groove shallow and with strong comb of short curved spines on margin. Tegulum n-shaped, arising centrally; slender to wide median apophysis with apical sclerotised hook; small conical conductor behind median apophysis. Embolus origin broad, separate from median apophysis, on retrobasal corner tapers quickly to wire and proapically is cradled by low, pallid, conical conductor. Six spinnerets: ALS coniform, clearly separated by about half diameter at base; apical segment short conical, large spigots not evident. PMS and longer; PLS cylindrical, slightly longer than ALS; no large spigots evident; all apical segments short, coniform. Colulus is a small, hirsute triangular area. Tracheal spiracle near spinnerets. Epigyne a broad median scape flanked by large low lateral lobes. Pattern: carapace yellow brown with slightly darker medial zone and margins, boundary enhanced by long dark hairs, often with longitudinal stripes; abdomen dorsally pallid, anteriorly with one dark central and two short dark paramedial bands breaking into four chevrons forming diamond-shaped pale zone centrally; ventrally pallid with light irregular dark mottling around edges. Legs yellow brown with dark wide rings on tibiae and metatarsi. Etymology. A contraction of Miturga and Zora; the gender is feminine. Distribution, habitat and biology. Known from southwestern Western Australia, South Australia, western New South Wales, northeastern Queensland, and the Northern Territory. Most material used here was taken by allowing a 4 -wheel-drive diesel vehicle to idle and collecting the spiders attracted by the vibration. WAM 98 / 1700–1733 so collected included 29 juveniles and 5 females of M. insularis sp. nov. Included species.

    Nas asas do corvo: análise descritiva de quatro traduções do poema The Raven de Edgar Allan Poe

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2010A presente investigação propõe uma análise descritiva do poema The Raven (1845) do escritor norte-americano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). Para fazê-lo, como ponto de partida, toma-se quatro traduções realizadas em língua portuguesa. Como quase todo texto poético, a composição possui características de grande complexidade para sua recriação em outras línguas. Acreditando na arte da tradução, foram encontrados quatro estilos bastante singulares. Com base na Teoria dos Polissistemas, de Even-Zohar, foram selecionadas quatro traduções do poema The Raven, realizadas por Machado de Assis (1883), Fernando Pessoa (1924), José Lira (1995) e Vinícius Alves (1999), consideradas como recriações sob a perspectiva da Teoria dos Polissistemas e dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução, isto é, são aceitos como novos poemas fruto da intervenção e da liberdade de cada um dos tradutores. Sob esta ótica, são investigados elementos ligados ao processo de criação dos tradutores, sejam eles de ordem social, política, cultural, além de aspectos atrelados tanto às políticas editoriais, quanto aos percursos e escolhas do tradutor. Privilegiou-se os quatro pólos de chegada, evitando o confronto com o poema dito "original", uma vez que não se objetiva eleger uma tradução como sendo a melhor, mas tão simplesmente apontar características próprias a cada um dos novos poemas
