Paratype: ♂, SamE Data as holotype. Discussion. Simothraulopsis rainori sp. nov. has morphological similarities with S. demerara and S. sabalo, sharing characteristics such as the shape of the penis lobes and having a mid-sized, spine-like telopenis on penis lobes. Imagos of S. rainori sp. nov., however, can be distinguished from them by the abdominal terga color (terga II–VII with anterior and anterolateral margins whitish in S. pacaraima, and terga II–V with anterior and anterolateral margins whitish S. inequalis), and by the spine-like telopenis being ventrally directed with apex bent outward (anteriorly projected in other two species), ventral region of penis lobes with a well-marked sclerotized region and laterally swollen and protruding on the inner margin.Published as part of Boldrini, Rafael, Lima, Lucas Ramos Costa, Oliveira, Ismael Barreto De, Boldrini, Bianca Maira De Paiva Ottoni & Salles, Frederico Falcão, 2022, Two new species of Simothraulopsis Demoulin, 1966 (Ephemeroptera: Leptophlebiidae) from Roraima State, northern Brazil, pp. 279-286 in Zootaxa 5213 (3) on pages 281-285, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5213.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/735998

Fries (1908: 57) and to P. dusenii Krapovickas (1977: 313); specimens from different herbaria were sometimes identified as the first and sometimes as the later. The mericarps of P. salmonea are usually muticous (apiculate in a few specimens), somewhat smaller than those of P. guerkeana, usually without acute tubercles on each side of the median nerve, which is wide, compressed and rugose. The mericarps of P. guerkeana are always apiculate, with lateral acute tubercles and a narrow and smooth median nerve. Conversely, the mericarps of P. dusenii are strongly tuberculate and the median nerve is little prominent. Concerning the indumentum of the leaf blades, the stellate trichomes of P. salmonea are larger and denser than those of P. guerkeana. On the other hand, in P. dusenii the trichomes of the leaf blades are shorter than those of P. salmonea and P. guerkeana, and the indumentum is tomentose. The color of the corolla also differs, all three species having petals with wine-colored veins and claw, but in P. salmonea the ground-color of the petals is salmon-pink, in P. guerkeana white to pale-pink, and in P. dusenii rose-pink.Published as part of Grings, Martin & Boldrini, Ilsi Iob, 2012, Two new species of Pavonia section Lebretonia subsection Hastifoliae (Malvaceae: Malvoideae) from southern Brazil, pp. 38-46 in Phytotaxa 39 on pages 39-41, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.39.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489472

Autobiographies of Others: Historical Subjects and Literary Fiction.
No full textIn this volume, Boldrini examines "heterobiography"—the first-person fictional account of a historic life. Boldrini shows that this mode is widely employed to reflect critically on the historical and philosophical understanding of the human; on individual identity; and on the power relationships that define the subject. In such texts, the grammatical first person becomes the site of an encounter, a stage where the relationships between historical, fictional and authorial subjectivities are played out and explored in the ‘double I’ of author and narrating historical character, of fictional narrator and historical person. Boldrini considers the ethical implications of assuming another’s first-person voice, and the fraught issue of authorial responsibility. Constructions of the body are examined in relation to the material evidence of the subject’s existence. Texts studied include Malouf’s An Imaginary Life, Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang, Ondaatje’s The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, Adair’s The Death of the Author, Banti’s Artemisia, Vázquez Montalbán’s Autobiografía del general Franco. Also discussed, among others: Yourcenar’s Memoirs of Hadrian, Tabucchi’s The Last Three Days of Fernando Pessoa, Giménez-Bartlett’s Una habitación ajena (A Room of Someone Else’s).
