    Amicta chambiana sp. nov. Figs 10, 24 Type material. Holotype: ♂, Tunesien, ca. 10 km W Kasserine, unterh. Chambi NP, 800 m, 10.x.2006, leg. J. Gelbrecht, T. Drechsel & D. Stadie (GU 124-2021 Sobczyk). Paratypes: 11 ♂, same data as holotype, 8 ♂, Tunesien, Prov. Kaserine, Wadi am Djebel Chambi, 850 m, 12 km südl. Kaserine 08. –11.x.2006, leg. D. Stadie, J. Gelbrecht & T. Drechsel (in coll. Stadie, Gelbrecht, Drechsel, CTS, CWA, SMNS). Diagnosis. ♂. Wingspan 21.0– 23.5 mm (average: 22.6 mm), forewing length 10.6–11.0 mm, width 5.4–6.0 mm (average 5.6 mm), FI 1.88–1.98 (average 1.94 mm). Head EI 0.72–0.77 (average 0.74). Antennae length 6.2–7.4 mm, 38–43 segments without pedicellus and scapus. The pecten very long, 1.4 mm. The longest pecten 10 times of segment diameter. Thorax and abdomen densely covered with long pale brown hairs. Forewings broad, costal margin almost straight, apex rounded, termen curved. All wings brownish, forewing costal margin darker, thinly scaled with hair-like scales (class 1–2 after Sauter & Hättenschwiler 1999), scales mostly with two dentations, partially with one or three dentations. Fringes lighter greyish brown, long, with 3 dentations, the middle of them mostly broader and larger. Abdomen densely covered with long pale brown hairs. Male genitalia. (GU 124-2021 Sobczyk): 2.1 mm length, elongated in general appearance, tegumen rounded distally, laterally bulging, covered with short hairs. Valvae long and clearly extended beyond the distal end of the tegumen. The valvae are apically rounded and covered with short setae. Sacculus closure elongated, slender, distally narrower and apically with four short thorns.Anellus short, pointed. Vinculum broad, laterally evenly curved. Saccus elongated, slightly wider distally. Phallus longer as genitalia length (2.3 mm), straight or slightly bent, with distinct roundish enlargement caudally, vesica with short cornuti. Discussion. A small species (wingspan 21.0– 23.5 mm) with relatively short and wide wings (FI below 2.0) and thus differ from the similar species (FI above 2.0). The species is also characterized at first glance by its relatively monochrome, densely scaled brown wings. Distribution. As far as known from the type locality in Tunisian. Bionomics. Unknown Etymology. The species is named after the type locality.The Djebel Chambi (arabic: Dschebel asch-Schaʿânabî) is a mountain range with the national park of the same name, in which the highest point in Tunisia is located at 1544 meters.Published as part of Arnscheid, Wilfried R., Rajaei, Hossein & Sobczyk, Thomas, 2021, A taxonomic review of the genus Amicta Heylaerts, 1881 in North Africa, Near and Middle East (Lepidoptera, Psychidae, Oiketicinae, Acanthopsychini), pp. 349-368 in Zootaxa 5071 (3) on page 361, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5071.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/572376

    Oiketicoides defreinai sp. nov. (Figs 26, 46) Holotypus ♁: Afghanistan, Paghman, 30 km NW Kabul, 2100 m, 20–30.vii.1962, E. & A. Vartian leg. The holotype is deposited in MWM. Paratypes: 8 ♁, same data as holotype, 1 ♁ ditto, 1–9. viii.1962 (CWA, MWM). Etymology. Named after Josef J. de Freina, Munich, who collected huge Oiketicoides material in Asia and for his significant contribution to the Oiketicoides research. Diagnosis. Cannot confused with other species due to its general appearance. Characterized by its short and slender wings and the very long scales with 2 dentations and a very long abdomen. Male genitalia is very similar to O. centralasiaticae sp. nov. but tegumen distinctly triangular, valvae slenderer, the clasper of the sacculus covered with longer spines. Description. Head. Frons and vertex densely covered with light brown hair. Eyes EI 1.0. Antennae of nearly half forewing length, with long pecten and 27–28 segments. Thorax. Wings. Wingspan 21–22 mm, forewing length 10 mm. Wings short and slender, costal margin slightly concave at the basal third. Apex roundish, termen oblique and posterior margin straight. Less densely covered with very long scales, mostly with two dentations, often deep bifurcated. The costal margin is slightly darker brownish and more densely scaled. The fringes of all wings are slightly darker brownish. FI 2.0. Hindwings of the same colour as forewings, termen and anal margin roundish. Abdomen. Not protruding the hindwings, densely covered with yellowish-grey hair. Male genitalia. 4147 (Fig. 46). Resembles O. centralasiaticae sp. nov. but tegumen distinctly triangular, valvae slenderer, the clasper of the sacculus covered with longer spines. Female. Unknown. Larval case. Unknown. Distribution. So far only known from Northern Afghanistan.Published as part of Arnscheid, Wilfried R. & Sobczyk, Thomas, 2023, Taxonomic review of the Oiketicoides species (Lepidoptera: Psychidae: Oiketicinae Acanthopsychini) from Anatolia, the Middle East and Central Asia, pp. 373-394 in Zootaxa 5239 (3) on page 386, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/763492

    On a three-space property for Lindelöf Sigma-spaces, (WCG)-spaces and the Sobczyk property

    [EN] Corson's example shows that there exists a Banach space EE which is not weakly normal but EE contains a closed subspace isomorphic to the Banach space C[0,1]C[0,1] and such that the quotient space E/C[0,1]E/C[0,1] is isomorphic to the weakly compactly generated Banach space c0[0,1]c0[0,1]. This applies to show the following two results: (i) The Lindelöf property is not a three-space property. (ii) The Lindelöf Σ-property is not a three-space property. In this note using the lifting property developed by Susanne Dierolf we present a very simple argument providing also (ii), see Theorem 1. This argument used in the proof applies also to show that under Continuum Hypothesis every infinite-dimensional topological vector space EE which contains a dense hyperplane admits a stronger vector topology υυ with the same topological dual and such that (E,υ)(E,υ) contains a dense non-Baire hyperplane. This partially answers a question of Saxon concerning Arias de Reyna-Valdivia-Saxon theorem. A Banach space EE has the Sobczyk Property if it contains an isomorphic copy of c0c0 and every such a copy is complemented in EE. The classical Sobczyk's theorem says that every separable Banach space has this property. We give an example of a C(K)C(K)-space EE and its subspace YY isometric to c0c0 such that E/YE/Y is isomorphic to c0(Γ)c0(Γ), with card(Γ)=2ℵ0card(Γ)=2ℵ0, yet YY is uncomplemented in EE. This complements Corson's example and shows that the Sobczyk Property (as well as the (WCG)-property, and the Separable Complementation Property) is not a~three-space property. In the last part we recall some facts (partially with a simpler presentation) concerning K-analytic, Lindelöf ΣΣ and analytic locally convex spaces. Additionally, a few remarks concerning weakly K-analytic spaces are includeThe first author has been partially supported by MEC and FEDER Project MTM2008-03211.
