Dichotrachelus alpestris STIERLIN 1878
No full text<i>Dichotrachelus alpestris</i> species group <p> Characterization (modified after Osella 1970): small species (3.2–4.9 mm); 3 rd tarsal segment narrow, about as wide as previous segments; pronotum elongate and cylindrical; rostrum slender, straight to slightly bowed; aedeagus with subtruncated apex; distributed from the Western Alps (France, Vercors) eastwards to the southern Bernina massif (Switzerland).</p> <p> Type material examined: <i>D. walteri</i>: 4 specimens (cMB). A ♂ lectotype and 3 paralectotypes were selected and are designated here in agreement with Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (2000). Label data: 1 ♂: PIEM. – 1946 G. Paradiso C.

Remark: the apex of the aedeagus of the ♂ paralectotype is damaged.</p> <p> <b>Proposed synonymy</b></p> <p> Barajon (1947: 32) described <i>D. walteri</i> based on "...quattro esemplari (2 ♂ e 2 ♀) di una nuova specie..." "...catturato il 15-7-1946..." from Colle Arietta (Gran Paradiso massif). However, already Osella (1970) reported in his revision only minute morphological differences with respect to <i>D. alpestris</i>. These differences are summarized: Elytral vestiture consisting only of dark brownish scales; Striae less pronounced, third interval diverging towards the elytral decline, its width more than twice the size at base; Elytra more oval shaped and gracile; Pronotum laterally more strongly rounded; Eyes slightly bigger and protruding; Rostrum longer and less curved; Scape of the antennae regularly enlarged, longer than <i>D. alpestris.</i> An examination of the type series (cMB), and the examination of further material (cVR), and their comparison with 133 specimens of <i>D. alpestris</i> (Appendix 1) showed that these differences – including furthermore the shape of the aedeagus (Figs 11–16, 20) – fall into the variability observed in <i>D. alpestris</i>. Therefore I propose the following synonymy: <i>Dichotrachelus alpestris</i> STIERLIN, 1878 = <i>walteri</i> BARAJON, 1947 <b>syn. nov.</b></p> Key to the species of the <i>alpestris</i> species group <p> <b>1</b> Elytra laterally rounded with maximal width in the middle.

The most eastern finds I know are fairly isolated on the top of Monte Generoso in the canton Ticino. <i>D. augusti</i> form I is restricted to Valle d'Aosta, around the Monte Rosa massif, northwards to the Saas Valley. Form II is known from Great St Bernard, including Val Ferret in Switzerland. Form III is presently only known from Col de Balme. <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. is exclusively known from Corn dal Solcun in the Valposchiavo.</p> <p> Bionomy: <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. lives in moss cushions (Bryophyta, Musci) of <i>Grimmia</i> cf. <i>sessitana</i> DE NOT., <i>Racomitrium heterostichum</i> (HEDW.) BRID., and <i>Tortella tortuosa</i> (HEDW.) LIMPR. Four larvae were found at the type locality (Corn dal Solcun), one in the presumably second, and three in the last larval instar (Fig. 29). Very soon, on July 6 th, one larva pupated under room temperature conditions (Figs 30, 31). The imago hatched about one week later (Fig. 32). Two of the paratype specimens were also freshly emerged when collected. I conclude that <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. may develop within one season. <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. was exclusively found in or near moss cushions within small scree slopes at the very top of Corn dal Solcun (Figs 33, 34) between 2300–2500 m a.s.l.

Factor structure of the Bern Psychopathology Scale in a sample of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
No full textBACKGROUND
The Bern Psychopathology Scale (BPS) is based on a system-specific approach to classifying the psychopathological symptom pattern of schizophrenia. It consists of subscales for three domains (language, affect and motor behaviour) that are hypothesized to be related to specific brain circuits. The aim of the study was to examine the factor structure of the BPS in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
METHODS
One hundred and forty-nine inpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were recruited at the Department of Psychiatry II, Ulm University, Germany (n=100) and at the University Hospital of Psychiatry, Bern, Switzerland (n=49). Psychopathology was assessed with the BPS. The VARCLUS procedure of SAS(®) (a type of oblique component analysis) was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS
Six clusters were identified (inhibited language, inhibited motor behaviour, inhibited affect, disinhibited affect, disinhibited language/motor behaviour, inhibited language/motor behaviour) which explained 40.13% of the total variance of the data. A binary division of attributes into an inhibited and disinhibited cluster was appropriate, although an overlap was found between the language and motor behaviour domains. There was a clear distinction between qualitative and quantitative symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
The results argue for the validity of the BPS in identifying subsyndromes of schizophrenia spectrum disorders according to a dimensional approach. Future research should address the longitudinal assessment of dimensional psychopathological symptoms and elucidate the underlying neurobiological processes
Dimensional approaches to schizophrenia: A comparison of the Bern Psychopathology scale and the five-factor model of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale
No full textThe aim was to examine to what extent the dimensions of the BPS map the five factors derived from the PANSS in order to explore the level of agreement of these alternative dimensional approaches in patients with schizophrenia. 149 inpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were recruited. Psychopathological symptoms were assessed with the Bern Psychopathology Scale (BPS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Linear regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between the factors and the items of the BPS. The robustness of patterns was evaluated. An understandable overlap of both approaches was found for positive and negative symptoms and excitement. The PANSS positive factor was associated with symptoms of the affect domain in terms of both inhibition and disinhibition, the PANSS negative factor with symptoms of all three domains of the BPS as an inhibition and the PANSS excitement factor with an inhibition of the affect domain and a disinhibition of the language and motor domains. The results show that here is only a partial overlap between the system-specific approach of the BPS and the five-factor PANSS model. A longitudinal assessment of psychopathological symptoms would therefore be of interest
