No full textEretmocerus tongxiaoensis Shih & Polaszek, sp. nov. (Figures 4, 5) Diagnosis Females of E. tongxiaoensis sp. nov. can be identified by having 6 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum; an elongate, brown, cylindrical antennal clava, 7.1 – 7.88× as long as wide (Figure 4C); a long ovipositor which is approximately the same length as the clava; and a narrow fore wing, about 2.53× as long as wide (Figure 5D). Among the known Eretmocerus species from Taiwan, only E. orientalis Gerling has brown antennae, but has 4 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum. All other Eretmocerus species in Taiwan have pale yellow or yellow antennae. E. tongxiaoensis shares having 3 paired setae laterally on T6 with E. queenslandensis, from which it differs by a shorter maximum fore wing fringe (0.25x wing disc;> 0.3 in E. queenslandensis). Description (female holotype). Length 0.75 mm (Paratypes, 0.58 – 0.75 mm (n = 5). Colour. Head yellow. Mesosoma orange-yellow except dorsellum, propodeum brown to dark brown. Gaster yellow except T7 brown anteriorly and laterally. Antennae amber. Wings hyaline. Legs pale yellow. Head. Vertex with 14 – 16 pair of setae. Face and occiput with transverse substrigulate sculpture, interscrobal area vertically substrigulate. Parascrobal area with 35 – 36 setae, 6 setae close to the edge of the eyes. Supraclypeal area with 5+5 setae, 2 posterior setae longer. Lower face with 20 – 24 setae. Clypeus with 2+2 setae, 2 setae longer (Figure 4A). Upper posterior head with 25 – 27 setae, 2 pairs short and robust setae close to the edge of eyes. Lower posterior head with 8+9 setae (Figure 4B). Antenna (Figure 4C). Radicle 3.6× as long as wide; scape 3.5× as long as wide, 2.70× as long as radicle, 1.84× of pedicel length, 0.54× of clava length; pedicel 2.88× as long as wide, 1.50× as long as radicle, 0.54× of scape length. Funicle I triangular-trapezoid, dorsal length 0.4× ventral length. Funicle II wider than long. Clava cylindrical, narrowed at apex, 5.0× as long as greatest width, 1.83× of scape length, 3.69× of pedicel length. Scape with one large sensillum close to the end. Clava with one large longitudinal sensillum and one thick sensillum close to the clava apex. Clava with 7 articulated spines. Mesosoma (Figure 5A). Mid lobe of mesoscutum with 6 setae, anterior part with cellular reticulate sculpture, remainder with faint elongate reticulations. Each side lobe with 3 setae, anterior margins with elongate cellular reticulations; axilla with 1 seta, strongly reticulate. Scutellum with 4 setae, anterior pair shorter, 2 placoid sensilla laterally, closer to the posterior pair of setae, and sides with faint, elongate reticulations. Frenal arms short and not exceeding metanotum. Metanotum slightly narrower centrally than propodeum. Propodeum with strong transverse reticulations, central lobe broad and smooth, reaching half the length of gastral tergite I. Wings. Fore wing (Figure 5D) 2.53× as long as maximum width of disc. Longest posterior alar fringe 0.24× of disc width. Base of wing without setae, distal portion of costal cell with 7 setae. Marginal vein with 3 long setae, 9 – 25 setae between marginal vein and partial linea calva. Submarginal vein 1.50× as long as marginal vein and 2.81× of stigmal vein length. Marginal vein 1.56× stigmal vein length. Legs (Figures 4D–F). Mid tibial spur 0.34× basitarsus length. Hind tibial spur 0.37× basitarsus length. Gaster (Figure 5B). Gastral tergites I – VI with reticulations on lateral margins; paired setae as follows: 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4. Syntergum (T7) with 6 setae. Ovipositor prominent, exserted, nearly equal (0.93×) to length of clava, 2.13× length of scape, 0.94× length of mid tibia. Male. Unknown. Holotype ♀ (on slide), Taiwan: Miaoli, ex Crenidorsum turpiniae (Takahashi) on Turpinia formosana Nakai, 11 April 2011, Y.T. Shih (NTU). Paratypes: 5♀♀ (on slides), data same as the holotype. (1♀ BMNH, 4♀ NTU). Distribution Taiwan: Tongxiao: Miaoli County. Host Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae: Crenidorsum turpiniae (Takahashi) (= Aleurotrachelus turpiniae Takahashi). Remarks Eretmocerus tongxiaoensis resembles E. rui Zolnerowich & Rose (2004), but differs from it in having antennae and T7 brown (antennae and T7 are yellow in E. rui). Etymology The species is named after the type locality Tongxiao. Residents of this area kindly helped during collection. New records of Eretmocerus species from whiteflies and Taiwan Five Eretmocerus species are recorded here for the first time from Taiwan, of which four species provide new records for their host whiteflies. These are: E. bisetae from Dialeurodes citri; E. flavus from D. citri and Bemisia sp. (= Lipaleyrodes sp.); E. rui from B. emilae and C. turpiniae; and E. trialeurodis from B. emilae and T. vaporariorum.

Overcoming of Being Asian? Temporality and Spatiality in Post-War Japan's Thoughts on Modernity
No full text戰前日本思想界從時間性的近代，退向空間性的亞洲，結果形成了獨佔亞洲的軍國主義。戰後反省起來，同時有左派對侵略的懺悔，也有右派回歸原理性的近代精神追求；前者突破軍國主義的亞洲空間，把近代性的動能重新讀進中國歷史脈絡，恢復近代概念的時間性質，而後者則反省軍國主義造成的時間斷裂，試圖恢復具有已經加上了近代性的古層文化，促成更進一步的近代精神。在竹內好看來，左右兩派都不能擺脫西歐啟蒙現代性的束縛，進而以火中取栗的態度回到亞洲概念，提倡去實體化的亞洲方法，以同時避免實體化亞洲所曾帶來的軍國主義，及一味移植西歐近代性所產生的奴性。針對竹內好，溝口雄三透過各自歷史基體的演化，將時間性帶回，用各個歷史基體自己的特殊時間性來完成特殊的空間，既不讓每個特殊的空間內涵固定，又不讓任一特殊空間擴張。回應溝口的各個亞洲思想家，則分別根據自身的位置敘說亞洲。他們?了抗拒現代性中的西方霸權而回歸亞洲，並仰賴多元化的與去實體的論述，超克亞洲的帝國記憶。An obsession with modernity plagued Japan's modern thinkers as modernity seemed the key to Japan's inferiority to the West. One solution was to return to an Asia that enabled Japan to overcome modernity's alien features. However, this stress on Asia practically led to imperialist expansion. As a remedy, Maruyama Masao decided to bring modernity back into Japan's pre-modern history, while Takeuchi Yoshimi relied on an Asia that was a process rather than an entity. Koyasu Nobukni echoes Takeuchi with a postmodern narrative on East Asia that denies any claim to fundamentalism. In contrast, Mizoguchi Yuzo shuns Asia by linking each national modernity to the universal world without anything in between. Mizoguchi ironically inspired Baik Youngseo and Chen Kwang-hsing to resort to Asia again. Both cherish peripheral, sub-national narratives. Together, they are united in the quest for a deconstructed Asia that can overcome modernity's Western features
