No full text<i>Paramorphocoris</i> Bai & Heiss, gen. n. <p> Type species: <i>Paramorphocoris henanensis</i> Bai & Heiss, sp.n.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Apterous. Medium sized. Body elongate ovate. Dorsal and ventral surfaces partly covered by grayish incrustation of unique pattern, only lateral borders with few short bristles. Head longer than width across eyes; genae slender, produced over clypeus; antenniferous tubercles stout, conical, apically pointed; eyes small, semiglobose, with convex face; postocular lobes anterolaterally subparallel with some distinct tubercles, converging posteriorly to constricted neck; vertex and clypeus together forming a median ridge; antennae long and slender, first and third segments of subequal length, second shortest, first stout and clavate, second and third cylindrical, fourth fusiform; rostrum arising from a slit-like atrium, not reaching limits of rostral groove. Pronotum attenuated anteriorly, anterolateral angles protruding anteriorly beyond collar, disc with narrow medial groove. Meso- and metanota medially fused to narrow, high longitudinal ridge strongly constricted at middle and flanked by deep depressions, laterally separated by furrows, metanotum separated by furrows from mtg I, mtg II and triangular fused deltg I+II; lateral margins of thoracic segments incrassate, deeply cleft between pro-, meso-, and metanota. Mtg I separated from mtg II by a furrow. Tergal plate of fused mtg III-VI pentagonal. Tergite VII strongly elevated posteriorly (Fig. 2) Thoracic sterna with processes pointing to coxae.</p> <p>Legs long and slender, without spines trochanters fused to femora.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> China.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The generic name reflects the similarity to <i>Morphocoris,</i> >para<(Latin) = near to.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> General habitus, head and thoracic structures of the new genus resemble those of the Oriental genus <i>Morphocoris</i> Kormilev 1980 (Kormilev 1977(as <i>Glyptomorpha</i>); Heiss 1982), which comprises 3 species from Thailand, Malaysia, and India. Compared with a male paratype of <i>Morphocoros thailandicus</i> in the collection of the co-author (EH) (no female specimen has ever been illustrated), the latter is distinguished from <i>Paramorphocoris henanensis</i> gen. et sp. nov. by a much wider and less constricted median ridge of meso- and metanotum without a longitudinal sulcus, by the very deep oval lateral excavations of metanotum, the deeper median depression of mtg I+II showing 2 longitudinal carinae at its bottom on mtg II, the straight anterior margin of the tergal plate, and the deep median excavation on mtg III in continuation of that of mtg I+II flanked by raised margins. The elevations and deep cavities cannot be recognized from Kormilev’s 1977 only illustration of this species (p.618, Fig. 19).</p>Published as part of <i>Cui, Jianxin, Bai, Xiaoshuan, Heiss, Ernst & Cai, Wanzhi, 2015, A new apterous genus of Carventinae (Hemiptera: Aradidae) from China, pp. 143-146 in Zootaxa 3980 (1)</i> on pages 143-144, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3980.1.9, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/239185">http://zenodo.org/record/239185</a>

No full text白薇（1894-1987）被譽為最優秀的中國現代女劇作家，她的劇作除對五四風潮內的核心議題有深刻反思，亦有不少超前於同代作家的創作嘗試。但可惜的是，她的劇作因其晦澀而狂放的風格而未有在當世的社會急務中獲得理解，藝術上又與旗幟鮮明的現實主義相頡頏，而少數關注她的研究者亦對其劇作的獨異之處存有不少誤解，故她真正的創作貢獻暫時仍隱沒於文學史背後。「愛情」和「革命」是白薇文學創作的兩大面向，也是歷來研究其生平與文學轉向關係的焦點，但「倫理」亦同是她所著力書寫的議題，在回應自身家庭與社會問題之餘，同時叩問愛情與革命的應然性。本論文以此三項為座標，選取《琳麗》、〈打出幽靈塔〉和〈革命神的受難〉為主要研究對象，輔以其他相同題材的作品，揭示當中罕見的愛情哲學、倫理羈絆和革命諷諭。通過再探白薇之戲劇創作的熱情與理性、現實與想像，重新審視劇作蘊涵的細密思辯、藝術創新與人文關懷，為已有定評的白薇戲劇藝術提出新的分析和見解。二十年代少數作家對現代戲劇宣傳功能的突破，以及個人浪漫追求在社會現實主義洪流中的掙扎和消隱的問題，在白薇戲劇再探中可開展新的方向。Bai Wei (1894-1987) is known as the most outstanding Chinese modern female playwright. Her plays have embedded profound reflections upon core values of the May Fourth Era, and have displayed a variety of creative attempts which are way beyond the reach of other playwrights from the same generation. Regrettably, the obscure and wild style of her plays have precluded them to be understood by peers of the same epoch, as these plays were presumptuous and prematurely considered irrelevant to the social imperatives. And while compared to the clear-cut stance of realism, Bai Wei’s plays had antagonistically overshadowed. Moreover, misconceptions upon characteristics of Bai Wai’s drama have also been made by the few researchers who had paid attention to her. As a result, the distinguished achievements of Bai Wei are still temporarily buried in the literary history.‘Revolution’ and ‘Love’ are the two major aspects of Bai Wei’s literary writing, and they have long been focus of research on her life and on the shifting of direction in her literary career. However, ‘Ethics’ has also been a major concern of Bai Wei, for apart from responding to ethical issues regarding family and society, she had also provoked meditations on the suitability of love and revolution. Based on the three themes mentioned, this present study will conduct in-depth analysis on her three prominent plays, including Linli, Dachu Youlingta (Breaking out of the Ghost Tower) and Gemingshen de Shounan (The Suffering of the The Revolutionary God), complemented by investigations on works of the same motifs, with aims to reveal the philosophy of love, ethical restraints and revolutionary allegory rarely found in other plays.By clarifying the correlation of passion and rationality, as well as the cluster of reality and imagination encompassed in Bai Wei’s drama, this study strives to re-examine the fine speculations, artistic innovations and humanistic care captured in her dramatic vision. This study sought to provide new insights on interpretations of Bai Wei’s plays, and to reiterate the significance of her endeavors, on top of the fixed impressions created by previous critics. Through the re-examination of Bai Wei’s drama, this study will also contribute to the enrichment and extension of the researches on the breakthroughs of theatrical conventions for drama to be served as tools of enlightenment and political manifestation which were facilitated by a minority group of playwrights in the 1920s, as well as on the struggles and termination of personal romantic pursuits under the overidding trend of realism across the Chinese society during the early Republican period.Detailed summary in vernacular field only.Detailed summary in vernacular field only.姜曉敏.Parallel title from English abstract.Thesis (M.Phil.)
