However, in that species, the coxa of gnathopod 1 is less produced anteriorly and the basis is swollen medially (broadest distally in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>). It differs radically from <i>M. armatus</i> in the shape of the male gnathopod 2, which in <i>M. armatus</i> has a flange on the anterior margin of the basis (absent in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.)</b> short, almost rectangular carpus and propodus, (elongate in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>) and the propodus palm with a strong distal spine (absent in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>). In addition, in <i>M. armatus</i> there are strong sternal spines and the uropod 1 peduncle has a strong inter-ramal spine, both of which are missing in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> The present species also shows similarity in the shape of the male gnathopod 1 to <i>M. algicola</i> Della Valle, but in that species the coxa is anteriorly strongly acute (subacute in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.)</b> and the posterior margin of the propodus has no lobation (lobed in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>). It differs radically in the shape of gnathopod 2, which in <i>M. algicola</i> has the basis relatively slender and the carpus and propodus short and stout. <i>M. algicola</i> also has strong sternal spines and inter-ramal spines on the peduncle of both uropod 1 and uropod 2 both of which are missing in <i>M. periergos</i> <b>sp. nov.</b></p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> The species is considered common in Vasiliko Bay (found in 27 of 42 sites), at south coast of Cyprus, Mediterranean Sea. It is known only from Cyprus.</p>Published as part of <i>Myers, Alan, Plaiti, Wanda & Rousou, Maria, 2018, A new species of Microdeutopus, M. periergos sp. nov.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
