Descripción de la morfología y taxonomía larvarias de Meliboeus (Meliboeus) zoe Verdugo, 2021 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Agrilinae)
No full textThe morphological characters and the taxonomy of the last instar larva of Meliboeus zoe
Verdugo, 2021 are described and illustrated, which in various aspects, both macroscopic and
microscopic, are different from those of its congener Meliboeus graminis Panzer, 1799, the closest
species to it. References to dimensions such as length or width of the different thoracic or abdominal
segments are misleading as they vary greatly, depending on the state in the same individual.Se describen e ilustran los caracteres morfológicos y la taxonomía de la larva de último
instar de Meliboeus zoe Verdugo, 2021 que en varios aspectos tanto macroscópicos como
microscópicos se muestran diferentes a los de su congénere Meliboeus graminis Panzer 1799, la
especie más cercana a ella. Las referencias a dimensiones como largo o ancho de los
diferentes segmentos torácicos o abdominales, utilizados por otros autores, son
engañosas pues presentan una gran variabilidad, dependiendo del estado en un mismo

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Diagnosis. Medium-sized (5.0– 7.1 mm), subparallel, flattened, dark bronze with slight, reddish lustre (Fig. 1); frontoclypeus and vertex red-bronze (male) or purple-bronze (female), frons red-bronze (male) or red-bronze with purple-bronze stripes along inner margins of eyes (female); pronotum with short, narrow, green, prescutellar line reaching posterior fourth of pronotal length, lateroposterior pronotal depressions sometimes with more intense red lustre; transverse, basal, elytral callosity (anterior of transverse basal depression) with golden-red or golden green lustre, elytra with very narrow, golden-red or golden green, postscutellar, sutural stripe reaching anterior third of elytral length; ventral surface dark bronze with rather intense, purple lustre; antennae bronze (female) or antennomeres 5–11 yellow-orange with darkened apices (male); legs bronze, tarsal claws yellow-brown; dorsal surface without distinct pubescence, frons with short, rather sparse, semi-erect, white pubescence; ventral surface with short, sparse, recumbent, white pubescence. Description of holotype. Head rather small, narrower than anterior pronotal margin; eyes large, reniform, somewhat projecting beyond outline of head; frontoclypeus with slightly emarginate anterior margin separated from frons by rather deep, transverse depression; frons deeply impressed medially, inner margins of eyes S-shaped; vertex slightly depressed, 0.8 times as wide as width of eye; antennae rather long reaching posterior fourth of pronotal length when laid alongside; scape claviform, 3.5 times as long as wide, nearly straight; pedicel suboval, 1.3 times as long as wide; third antennomere subcylindrical, somewhat enlarged anteriorly, 1.6 times as long as wide, antennomere 4 sharply, narrowly triangular, 1.2 times as long as wide; antennomeres 5–10 obtusely triangular to trapezoidal, about as long as wide; terminal antennomere rhomboid, 1.5 times as long as wide; sculpture of head rather rough, almost irregular, consisting of poorly defined, polygonal cells with central grains and basal, rough microsculpture. Pronotum convex, 1.7 times as wide as long with rather deep, more or less transverse, medial depression; anterior margin biarcuate, posterior margin slightly rounded, almost straight; lateral margins widely rounded, rather deeply notched at posterior fourth, posterior angles obtuse; maximum pronotal width at anterior third; lateroposterior depressions deep, nearly triangular; pronotal sculpture consisting of polygonal cells with small central grains, cells on posterior half of pronotum weak, somewhat transverse, without distinct central grains. Scutellum small, more or less pentagonal, slightly convex, microsculptured. Elytra moderately convex, somewhat uneven, 1.9 times as long as wide, slightly enlarged at posterior third; humeral swellings well defined, somewhat prolonged, basal, transverse depression deep, wide, reaching scutellum, interrupted by two small elevations; elytral apex very slightly caudiform, lateral, apical serration very fine confined to the caudiform apex; elytral epipleura wide, parallel-sided, almost reaching elytral apex; supramarginal groove well defined, enlarged at posterior fourth; elytral sculpture consisting of small, irregular punctures on posterior two thirds and dense, irregular, transverse wrinkles on basal third. Ventral surface rather lustrous with wide ocellate sculpture, prosternal process flat, subparallel, only weakly enlarged posterior to procoxae; anal ventrite narrowly rounded, finely depressed along lateral margins, without distinct lateral serration. Legs moderately long, slender, protibiae curved, mesotibiae straight, weakly enlarged apically, with several very small, nearly indistinct, inner, preapical denticles; metatibiae straight, somewhat flattened, weakly enlarged apically, with several small, preapical teeth on inner margin. Tarsal claws thin, weakly curved, only slightly enlarged at base. Aedeagus (Fig. 3) short, stout, basal two fifths of parameres subparallel, apical three fifth strikingly narrowed (Fig. 4); median lobe sharply pointed apically, without lateral serrations (Fig. 5). Measurements. Length: 5.0– 7.1 mm (holotype 5.4 mm); width: 1.9–2.9 mm (holotype 2.2 mm). Variability. Except for the size some specimens differ from each other by the intensity of the metallic colouration of the frontoclypeus, lateroposterior pronotal depressions and prescutellar or postscutellar stripes. The prescutellar, pronotal stripe is, in a few cases, very reduced or nearly indistinct and, on the contrary, in some specimens the stripe is prolonged anteriorly to the pronotal midlength, and in these specimens there is also the small, golden green, triangular spot of the same colour at the middle of the anterior pronotal margin. The postscutellar, sutural stripe varies only in the colouration: from golden green to golden green margined by red or to golden-red. Pronotum 1.67–1.80 times as wide as long, elytra 1.85–1.90 times as long as wide. Bionomy. Nearly all specimens were reared from the dead twigs of Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl (Oleaceae). The larva lives just under the bark and the galleries are wide and flat (Figs. 6, 7); they correspond with the galleries of the most of Anthaxia living under the bark. The bionomy was precisely described by de la Rosa (2007) who found the larval galleries mostly at the basal parts of the trunks of F. angustifolia with rough bark covered often with lichens. All specimens collected by M. Kafka (pers. com.) were reared from the dead branches of F. angustifolia of diameter 5–8 cm but he observed the galleries and emergence holes also in stems of diameter 20 cm. The biotope (Fig. 8) is not very attractive for collecting beetles and moreover Anthaxia (A.) madridensis, sp. nov. is not a flower visitor (the majority of the representatives of this species-group are typical flower-visitors, such as A. thalassophila iberica Cobos, 1986, A. dimidiata (Thunberg, 1789) or A. bicolor comptei Cobos, 1966 in the same biotope), so it has most probably been overlooked by collectors. Etymology. The specific epithet indicates the distribution of the species since it appears that the main population of the species lives near Madrid. Differential diagnosis. Anthaxia (Anthaxia) madridensis, sp. nov. belongs to the Anthaxia (A.) dimidiata (Thunberg, 1789) species-group as defined by Bílý (1984) and it is very similar and probably closely related with A. (A.) chaerodrys Szallies, 2001. Baiocchi (2011) thought that A. (A.) chaerodrys might be a relict species and compared it with his new species, A. (A.) magnanii Baiocchi, 2011. In fact A. (A.) chaerodrys and A. (A.) madridensis sp. nov. are two extremely similar species forming the pair of the vicariant species. Both species differ from each other by the character states given in the Table 1. Distribution. Central Spain (Madrid, Ciudad Real, Caceres provinces). We are very obliged to all our colleagues who submitted their specimens for the study: D. Baiocchi and M. Gigli (Rome, Italy), M. Kafka (Neratovice, Czech Republic), M. Niehuis (Albersweiler, Germany) V. Kubáň (Brno, Czech Republic), T. Kwast (Berlin, Germany) and E. Mico (Alicante, Spain). We are also very indebted to D. Baiocchi for his suggestions during our long discussions concerning the taxonomic status of the species. Our thanks also go to J. Rolčík (Prague, Czech Republic) for his help with preparing the colour plate.

Toward an International Fourth Amendment: Rethinking Searches and Seizures Abroad After Verdugo-Urquidez
No full textShould the Fourth Amendment reach abroad to protect noncitizens when United States law enforcement agents conduct searches and seizures in a foreign state? The courts have assumed this to be a closed question since 1990, when the Supreme Court, in a broadly worded plurality opinion by Chief Justice Rehnquist, asserted that the Amendment protects only citizens and other members of the national community. However, as this Article points out, the Chief Justice\u27s plurality opinion in United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez did not represent the judgment of a majority of the Court and therefore does not foreclose continued consideration of the scope of the Fourth Amendment abroad.
This Article addresses the principal questions that the Verdugo decision and subsequent scholarship have left unresolved: Does the Fourth Amendment\u27s command that searches and seizures be reasonable apply to searches of noncitizens abroad? And if so, what does it mean for a search to be reasonable in a foreign state? The author argues that the alternatives proposed by the Supreme Court in Verdugo--either confining the Amendment to the water\u27s edge or applying it in full force whenever the United States acts abroad--do not take proper account of the transnational nature of extraterritorial searches. The author proposes instead that any determination of the reasonableness of foreign searches take into account their transnational nature by reconciling United States search-and-seizure standards with either international law or the laws of the states with which the United States acts jointly abroad

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
