Cicinnus magnapuncta Kaye 1901
No full text<i>Cicinnus magnapuncta</i> (Kaye, 1901) <p>(Figs. 6, 9, 10, 31)</p> <p> <b>Type locality.</b> Trinidad, Tabaquite [NHMUK, syntype examined, designated here as lectotype] <i>Perophora magnapuncta</i> Kaye, 1901: Kaye (1901); Kaye & Lamont (1927).</p> <p> <i>Cicinnus magnapuncta</i> was described and illustrated implicitly from one (but possibly more) specimens collected at Tabaquite, central Trinidad, in June 1898 by W.J. Kaye (Kaye 1901, Kaye & Lamont 1927). Kaye (1901) does not indicate the sex of the type material but his illustration and the single specimen recognized as a type in the NHMUK is female (Fig. 31). The syntype in the NHMUK lacks a collecting data label, though it does bear a label reading “Trinidad, Kaye” and the accession number 1901-72. On the reverse of the accession label, <i>Perophora magnapuncta</i> Kaye is handwritten, in a style similar to that seen for other Kaye types from 1901 in NHMUK, although different from Kaye’s characteristic writing on later types. A red edged type label is also present on the specimen, along with a genitalia preparation label (the genitalia are apparently missing because the slide only contains the terminal two abdominal segments). We therefore believe that this specimen is a syntype, and here designate it as the lectotype with the following labels: C, magnapuncta Keyes [<i>recte</i> Kaye] Type genit.pr. No 6 Mimallonidae / BMNH(E) #805414/ NHMUK010588329/ Type [red edged circular label]/ Trinidad Kaye 1901 -72 [number after 1901 unclear, 72 or 92, written on upper surface of label]; <i>Perophora magnapuncta</i> Kaye [written on lower surface of label]/ LECTOTYPE ♀ <i>Perophora magnapuncta</i> Kaye designated by St Laurent and Cock, 2017 [red handwritten label].</p> <p> <i>Cicinnus magnapuncta</i> was the only mimallonid species described from Trinidad until <i>C. trini</i> described above. Although <i>C. magnapuncta</i> seemed to be endemic to the island, a single male specimen from French Guiana in the MNHN (Fig. 9) may be this species considering the similarities in external appearance to the females and the close affinity of Trinidad Mimallonidae with those of French Guiana. However, due to the lack of males from Trinidad, it is not possible to definitively state at this time that the two populations are conspecific. Interestingly, so far only females of <i>C. magnapuncta</i> have been collected or photographed in Trinidad, thus males seem to either not be strongly attracted to light or are potentially diurnal or crepuscular whereas the females arrive late (23.51 h and 0 0.44 h) at light (K. Sookdeo pers. comm.).</p> <p> Several similar <i>Cicinnus</i> species are known from mainland South America, namely: <i>C. bactriana</i> (Butler, 1878), <i>C. callipius</i> Schaus, 1928, <i>C. candacus</i> Schaus, 1928, <i>C. gaujoni</i> (Dognin, 1922), and <i>C. marona</i> Schaus, 1905. Primary types of all species have been examined by the first author. <i>Cicinnus magnapuncta</i> is unique in having weak maculation, particularly submarginally, such that there is a complete absence of dark petiolate scales. The relatively faint postmedial lines and discal spots, as well as light brown to fawn ground coloration, also can be used to distinguish <i>C. magnapuncta</i> from other species listed previously, which are darker brown or nearly orange in the case of <i>C. marona</i>, and nearly always have stronger maculation.</p> <p> Prior to this work, <i>C. magnapuncta</i> was only known from a single location in Trinidad, therefore we report several new locations for this species, and figure actual specimens (not a painted illustration) for the first time. This species is restricted to forested areas of Trinidad, though the previously mentioned specimen from French Guiana may be this species. In addition to the lectotype collected from Tabaquite in the Central Range, <i>C. magnapuncta</i> has been found on the slopes of the Northern Range.</p> <p> <b>Material examined.</b> (1 ♂ *, 6 ♀ total) <b>TRINIDAD</b>: 2 ♀, Brasso Seco: 14.III.2015 (K.

Interview with Lenny Kaye
No full textLenny Kaye has been Patti Smith’s long term guitarist, friend and collaborator, ever since they first began together in the early 1970s. He grew up between New York and New Jersey, graduating in American History from Rutgers University, where he later taught a course in the Department of American Studies on the History of American Rock, which became famous because of the large number of students who wanted to enroll in it. A very prolific writer and musician, he has produced an important number of records, as well as collaborated with numerous music magazines. He is the author of two books, Waylon Jennings: An Autobiography (1996) and You Call it Madness, The Sensuous Song of the Croon (2004). Nuggets (1972), his anthology of 60s garage music, is famous for defining the genre. This interview took place when he was visiting Spain in November 2012 with the Patti Smith Group. In it, we discussed the New York scene of the 70s, music, literature, drugs, politics, and many other things

Undergraduate researchers report only moderate knowledge of scholarly communication: they must be offered more support
No full textUndergraduate students are increasingly participating in the scholarly communication process, mostly through formal research experiences. However, Catherine Fraser Riehle and Merinda Kaye Hensley, having surveyed and interviewed university students, reveal that undergraduate researchers have only moderate levels of confidence in their knowledge of scholarly communications, especially publication and access models, author and publisher rights, determining the impact of research, and research data management. Moreover, students revealed that to receive specific guidance in these areas was rare. There is much opportunity for faculty members, graduate students, librarians, and research programme coordinators to collaborate and develop learning interventions in these areas
Review of energy confinement and local transport scaling results in neutral-beam-heated tokamaks
No full textOver the past several years, tokamak neutral beam injection experiments have evolved from the brute force study of the effects of global discharge characteristics (I/sub p/, anti n/sub e/, P/sub heat/, etc.) on energy confinement to the appreciation that there are effects more subtle, yet controllable, that may influence confinement dramatically. While this evolution from first to second generation experiments is derived from an empirical understanding of low and high energy confinement modes and how to achieve them operationally, the underlying physics is still unknown. Several theories with different physical bases appear to describe the global scaling of the low confinement mode discharges quite well. On the other hand, little agreement has been found between theoretical and experimentally deduced values of local transport coefficients. While it is known operationally how to achieve any one of several types of high confinement mode discharges, here too, the underlying physics of the transport associated with these modes is poorly understood
