Both the holotype and paratype are deposited at MFP. Diagnosis. Length 12.3 mm, width 5.5 mm. Dorsal surface shiny, without pruinosity; head brown, pronotum and elytra yellowish castaneous; anterior clypeal margin sinuate; antennal club much shorter than funicle and scape; pronotal lateral margin entire; prosternum without obtuse postcoxal projection; metasternum glabrous, fifth abdominal sternite pruinose with some scattered setae; pygidial disc glabrous; male genitalia as in Figs. 2–3. Holotype description. Head: Surface densely punctate with deep, well-defined punctures; glabrous. Clypeus with apex reflexed, clearly sinuate at middle; densely punctate. Frontoclypeal suture well defined. Frons densely punctate. Labrum bicallose, the callosities irregularly punctate and setose. Antennae with 9 antennomeres; terminal 3 forming club, club less than half the length of funicle and scape; club, funicle, and scape shiny and setose. Pronotum: Surface moderately punctate with deep, well-defined punctures. Punctures less deep and less dense than those on head, glabrous. Anterior angles weakly acute; lateral margins entire (not crenulate), widest medially. Elytra: Yellowish castaneous, with suture broadly dark. Surface moderately to densely punctate with shallow, well-defined punctures; shiny, appearing largely glabrous, but with some scattered setae. Striae weakly defined. Legs: Protibia with 3 teeth, 2nd tooth closer to apical tooth. Mesotibiae and metatibiae without medial transverse carinae, longitudinal carina complete; with some spines on lateral margin, especially in mesotibia and less so with shorter spines in metatibia. Metatibial spurs unmodified, shorter spur approximately 3/4 length of longer spur. Longer spur almost twice length of first tarsomere. Claws: symmetrical with medial triangular tooth slightly directed to the base, apex curved and slender. Venter: Prosternum without projection behind procoxae. Metasternum weakly setose with scarce and short setae, without pruinosity. Surface moderately punctate. Abdominal sternites shiny without pruinosity, punctures less dense but deeper than those of metasternum, surface glabrous. Pygidium: Yellowish dark brown, with surface densely punctate with large, shallow, well-defined punctures; glabrous except with scattered setae apically. Male genitalia: Phallobase enlarged and strongly projecting, parameres with large preapical prominences, aedeagus with horn like dorsal structures and numerous apical stout bristles (Figs. 2–3). Variation. Paratype length 12.4 mm, width 5.5 mm. Female unknown. Etymology. Named for the locality in where it occurs. Guanahacabibes is an indigenous precolumbian name that has survived. We do not know what this word means but this area was home of indigenous groups with similar name: Guanahatabeyes. Distribution (Fig. 4). CUBA: Pinar de Río Prov. Biosphera Reserve Guanahacabibes. Biological data. Two specimens were collected at a light trap during July in a tropical deciduous forest located at 10 m in elevation. Remarks. This species keys to couplet 31 in Chapin (1932) but does not match the description or genitalic illustrations of either Phyllophaga microsoma Chapin, 1932 or P. bruneri Chapin, 1932. Similar to P. bruneri and P. suturalis (Chevrolat, 1835), except darker and elytral suture margin less broad. Body larger than P. bruneri and has a proportionally larger head. Phyllophaga guanahacabibensis is similar in color and size to P. franciscana García-Vidal, 1984 described from western Cuba, but differ from this species in characteristics of male genitalia and protibia teeth.Published as part of Serrano, Annery & Morón, Miguel Ángel, 2017, Four new species of Phyllophaga Harris (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) from western Cuba, pp. 575-583 in Zootaxa 4362 (4) on pages 576-577, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4362.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/109538

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
