Assessment of gully erosion process dynamics for water resources management in a semiarid catchment of Swaziland (Southern Africa)
No full textIn southern African countries, soil erosion and related problems like water quality issues or decreasing soil productivity are increasingly affecting the inhabitants of rural and urban areas. Problems related to soil erosion therefore have received increased attention in the recent past. Gully erosion processes especially play an important role for sediment production in many southern African catchments. Nevertheless, gully erosion phenomena have been widely neglected in erosion modelling. This study concerns the identification of spatially distributed erosion forms and processes in the Mbuluzi River catchment (Kingdom of Swaziland), with particular attention to gully erosion phenomena. The modelling of gully erosion was done successfully with models accounting for the two stages of development of a gully. The input data were obtained using remote sensing techniques and GIS-analyses. The example from Southern Africa shows that the methods applied are suitable for identifying and simulating the relevant erosional processes

Etymology. The species is named after the Ethiopian Bale Mountains National Park. Diagnosis. With character states of Galumnella that were proposed by Berlese (1916), and summarized by Balogh and Balogh (1992). The new species is characterized by the small size of body, 315–328 × 225–246; surface of body with very small foveolae; rostrum pointed; rostral and lamellar setae thin, smooth; sensilli long, with head asymmetrically dilated, barbed; notogaster with minute setae and setal alveoli; one pair of pores developed dorso-laterally; oblong postanal area porosa present; legs monodactylous.

Almost all setae well barbed; some ventral setae of tarsi and tibiae with long cilia. Solenidia ω 1 and ω 2 on tarsi II, straight or weakly curved, rod-like. Other solenidia rather long, setiform. Distribution. At present, this species is only known from Ethiopia. Remarks. Galumnella baleensis sp. nov. is most similar to G. p a r a d o x a Berlese, 1916 (from Somalia) (see Berlese 1916; Mahunka 1992 a; Balogh and Balogh 2002), but the latter has blunt-ended rostrum in dorsal view; rostral and lamellar setae absent; sensilli lanceolate, with thin, pointed tips, smooth; alveoli of notogastral setae (la, lm, lp, h 3) located differently. Keys with distinctive morphological characters of species within Galumnella were published earlier (see Mahunka 1992 b; Aoki and Hu, 1993; Balogh and Balogh 2002). Galumnella baleensis sp. nov. belongs to the Galumnella species group with one pair of dorso-lateral notogastral pores. Only two species with this diagnostic feature were known as yet: the type species, G. paradoxa, and G. i n d i c a Balakrishnan, 1989 (see Balakrishnan 1989). A diagnostic key to the three known species of Galumnella with one pair of notogastral pores is presented below.Published as part of Ermilov, Sergey G., Sidorchuk, Ekaterina A. & Rybalov, Leonid B., 2010, New species of oribatid mites of the superfamily Galumnoidea (Acari: Oribatida) from Ethiopia, pp. 43-62 in Zootaxa 2646 on pages 56-59, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19868

Holotype and type repository — Originally from private collection of Thomas Weiterschan, coll. # TW 1288, housed in the Geological-Paleontological Museum and University Hamburg (GPIH), collection number GPIH 4598. The holotype is the only inclusion in a rectangular light yellow amber piece measuring 1x0.7x 0.7 mm, polished on six sides, stored in plastic O-ring-capped vial with water and preservative Thymol (Fig. 1A). Type locality, occurrence and geological age — Type locality is Baltic Sea Coast, amber in Blue Earth fossil beds, dated late Eocene. Only known from the type specimen and locality. Etymology — The new species is named in honor of Thomas Weiterschan, who discovered the specimen, promoted its study and assured its holotype deposition in a public repository. Remark — The holotype and only known specimen of T. weiterschani has emergent peritremata, leg I tarsal setae l 1 ” and leg I genual and tibial setae l 1 () present. These features suggest that the specimen is at least tritonymphal (Servin and Otero 1989, Beard and Walter 2005). In the presence of the tapered setae v 1 and lateral idiosomal setae and in the absence of clear view on the genital area, however, we cannot distinguish between an adult and a tritonymphal stage. Emergent peritremes in immature tuckerellid mites, not mentioned in the literature to our best knowledge, do occur at least in four Recent species starting from the deutonymphal stage (J. Beard, pers. comm.), and are thus inconclusive. The Diagnosis below is hence preliminary, and only uses those characters known to be relatively stable through the last two stages of the tuckerellid ontogeny. Differential diagnosis — By the presence of seven pairs of subequal filiform setae h 2 – h 8 the new species is similar to five Recent species: T. coleogynis Jorgensen, 1967, T. elegans Rossi de Simons, 1972, T. eloisae Servin and Otero, 1989, T. hypoterra McDaniel and Morihara in McDaniel et al. 1975 and T. spechtae Womersley, 1957. The new species differs from T. spechtae and T. hypoterra by the relative positions of setal pairs f 1 and f 2, f 1 being inserted clearly posterior to f 2 in T. weiterschani, as opposed to slightly anterior in these two species; in addition, T. spechtae has setae h 6 shorter than the other flagellate setae. From T. eloisae the new species differs by its much smaller size (total body length – including gnathosoma – 310 in T. weiterschani vs. 480 in tritonymph, 473 – 566 in adults of T. eloisae). T. elegans, only slightly larger than T. weiterschani (adult idiosomal length 342 – 370 in T. elegans vs. 275 in T. weiterschani), and T. coleogynis differs from the new species by its setae v 1 having a smooth edge and uneven reticulation vs. these setae widely lancetiform, with tapered tips in T. weiterschani (the validity of this character is only certain if T. weiterchani holotype is an adult female), and having setae h 2 – h 8 as long as body, vs. at least 1.5 times body length in T. weiterschani. T. coleogynis, whose size is unknown, is the most similar to T. weiterschani, differing in the shape of dorsolateral idiosomal setae (only significant T. if weiterchani holotype is an adult female) and distribution of setulae on the setae h 2 – h 8: present only in basal part in T. coleogynis, evenly distributed throughout the length T. in weiterschani.Published as part of Sidorchuk, Ekaterina A. & Khaustov, Alexander A., 2018, Two Eocene species of peacock mites (Acari: Tetranychoidea: Tuckerellidae), pp. 99-115 in Acarologia 58 (1) on pages 101-106, DOI: 10.24349/acarologia/20184228, http://zenodo.org/record/448757
