Diagnosis. Males of this species can be distinguished from others in the genus by being only slightly brachypterous and by the genitalia (Figs. 23–24) having the combination of compact pa and elongate spiniform dpr. Females can be distinguished from those of R. rentzi and R. micoptera by having the tegmina reaching the caudal margin of the second abdominal tergite and from R. macula by the possession of apical hooks on the ventral lobes of the ovipositor (Figs. 41–43). Description. Body (Figs. 1–4) elongate and slender. Colour brown, yellow brown or grey brown—the colour of dry grass. Frontal shield with strong subanntenal ridge. Ocelli of male well developed, of female poorly developed. Antennae of male about same length as prothorax, of female about one half to two thirds the length of prothorax. Prothorax moderately elongate. Foreleg with coxa slightly shorter than metazone, femur with claw groove situated at about mid point. Male volant but slightly brachypterous, wings reaching from half way along fifth abdominal tergite to caudal margin of sixth abdominal tergite; tegmen with costal area opaque cream coloured with thin blackish line on posterior margin; discoidal area semi opaque, sometimes flecked with darker spots; anal lobe transparent to slightly infumate; hindwing with costal and discoidal areas semi opaque, reddish brown toward base; anal area partially to completely infumate, darker proximally, with contrasting transparent areas at cross veins creating speckled appearance. Female strongly brachypterous, wings reaching caudal margin of second abdominal tergite; tegmen opaque, costal area similar in colour to male, discoidal area sometimes flecked with darker spots, anal lobe infumate; hindwing opaque, costal and discoidal areas reddish brown in proximal two thirds, anal area dark brownish black with bluish sheen, contrasting transparent areas at cross veins limited to anterior third. Abdomen elongate and slender, supra-anal plate triangular, cerci reaching beyond tip of abdomen in male, to about tip of abdomen in female. Male genitalia with dpr a strongly sclerotized curved spine; pa compact with small blunt projection anteriorly; medial lobe of vph prominent and curved dorsally, anterior portion of vph broad; apr rather elongate and narrowed distally. Female ventral ovipositor valves with hooks (Figs. 41–43). Variation: male specimens from the central western part of Western Australia have a relatively shorter prothorax and cerci than specimens from elsewhere. They also differ slightly in genital morphology in that the apr is relatively compact and the dpr is curved more dorsally. Measurements (mm). Body length, ♂ 37.3 (34.6–51.2), ♀ 60.4 (45.8–70.0). Head width, ♂ 3, ♀ 5. Head depth, ♂ 2, ♀ 3.5. Pronotum length, ♂ 9.2, ♀ 17.4. Pronotum width, ♂ 1.7, ♀ 3.2. Forecoxa length, ♂ 4.8, ♀ 9.2. Forefemur length, ♂ 6.9, ♀ 12.5. Tegmen length, ♂ 21.9, ♀ 12.7. Abdomen length, ♂ 17.3, ♀ 31.2. Immature stages. Nymphs similar in appearance to adults. Ootheca sandy brown and short in length (based on single specimen deposited by a female collected from 100 km N of Alice Springs, fig. 50). Distribution and habits. Found throughout the drier regions of mainland Australia (Fig. 53). The author has collected specimens of this species in dry grasses from several localities. Remarks. The holotype female is glued to a card and in poor condition, with the hind legs missing. This widespread species is variable in size and colour. It is likely that the oothecae of this species and others in the genus with terminal ovipositor hooks are laid in the soil, although this has only apparently been observed in one species, R. queenslandica. The hooks are most probably adaptations for digging.Published as part of Milledge, Graham A., 2014, A revision of Rhodomantis Giglio-Tos, 1917 (Mantodea: Mantidae: Mantinae), pp. 39-64 in Zootaxa 3797 (1) on pages 41-43, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3797.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/508316

Males of this species can be distinguished from others in the genus by being only slightly brachypterous, by the hindwing lacking an apical spot and by the genitalia having the combination of compact pa and short blunt dpr with serrate zone on anterior-lateral margin (Figs. 27–28). Females can be separated from those of R. macula and R. microptera by having terminal hooks on the ventral ovipositor lobes and from R. rentzi by having the tegmina reaching well beyond the caudal margin of the first abdominal tergite. Description. Body (Figs. 7–8) elongate and slender. Colour brown, yellow brown or grey brown—the colour of dry grass. Frontal shield with strong subanntenal ridge. Ocelli of male well developed, of female poorly developed. Antennae of male slightly shorter than prothorax, of female about one half to two thirds the length of prothorax. Prothorax moderately elongate, metazone of pronotum with distinct dorsolateral carinae which become indistinct anteriorly and posteriorly. Foreleg with coxa slightly shorter than metazone, femur with claw groove situated at about mid point. Male volant but slightly brachypterous, wings reaching to caudal margin of fifth abdominal tergite; tegmen with costal area opaque cream coloured with thin blackish line on posterior margin; discoidal area semi opaque, sometimes flecked with darker spots; anal lobe transparent to slightly infumate; hindwing with costal and discoidal areas semi opaque, reddish brown toward base; anal area partially to completely infumate, darker proximally, with contrasting transparent areas at cross veins creating speckled appearance. Female strongly brachypterous, wings reaching almost to caudal margin of second abdominal tergite; tegmen opaque, costal area similar in colour to male, discoidal area sometimes flecked with darker spots, anal lobe infumate; hindwing opaque, costal and discoidal areas reddish brown in proximal two thirds, anal area dark brownish black with bluish sheen, contrasting transparent areas at cross veins limited to anterior third. Abdomen elongate and slender, supra-anal plate triangular, cerci reaching beyond tip of abdomen in male, to about tip of abdomen in female. Male genitalia (Figs. 27–28) with dpr rather short, truncate and with serrate region on anterior margin near tip; pa small and produced to a blunt point; medial lobe of vph prominent and curved dorsally, anterior portion of vph narrowed; apr compact, curving dorsally, with blunt tip. Female ventral ovipositor valves with terminal with hooks. Measurements (mm). Body length, ♂ 45.4 (40.4–50.0), ♀ 59.2 (56.8–62.3). Head width, ♂ 3.8, ♀ 5. Head depth, ♂ 2, ♀ 3.2.

Predictors of Radiographic Osteoarthritis 2 to 3 Years After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Data From the MOON On-site Nested Cohort
No full textOnly Vanderbilt University affiliated authors are listed on VUIR. For a full list of authors, access the version of record at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6719483/Background: Multiple studies have shown that patients are susceptible to posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, even with ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Prospective studies using multivariable analysis to identify risk factors for PTOA are lacking. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study aimed to identify baseline predictors of radiographic PTOA after ACLR at an early time point. We hypothesized that meniscal injuries and cartilage lesions would be associated with worse radiographic PTOA using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) atlas criteria. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 421 patients who underwent ACLR returned on-site for standardized posteroanterior semiflexed knee radiography at a minimum of 2 years after surgery. The mean age was 19.8 years, with 51.3% female patients. At baseline, data on demographics, graft type, meniscal status/treatment, and cartilage status were collected. OARSI atlas criteria were used to grade all knee radiographs. Multivariable ordinal regression models identified baseline predictors of radiographic OARSI grades at follow-up. Results: Older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.06) and higher body mass index (OR, 1.05) were statistically significantly associated with a higher OARSI grade in the medial compartment. Patients who underwent meniscal repair and partial meniscectomy had statistically significantly higher OARSI grades in the medial compartment (meniscal repair OR, 1.92; meniscectomy OR, 2.11) and in the lateral compartment (meniscal repair OR, 1.96; meniscectomy OR, 2.97). Graft type, cartilage lesions, sex, and Marx activity rating scale score had no significant association with the OARSI grade. Conclusion: Older patients with a higher body mass index who have an ACL tear with a concurrent meniscal tear requiring partial meniscectomy or meniscal repair should be advised of their increased risk of developing radiographic PTOA. Alternatively, patients with an ACL tear with an articular cartilage lesion can be reassured that they are not at an increased risk of developing early radiographic knee PTOA at 2 to 3 years after ACLR.M.H.J. is on the scientific advisory board for Samumed.
