Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) sinogalbina nom. n., a replacement name for Thienemannimyia galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009
Full text linkThe recent transfer of Hayesomyia galbina Cheng & Wang, 2006 to Thienemannimyia (Hayesomyia) created a homonymy with Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009. Thienemannimyia (Hayesomyia) galbina (Cheng & Wang, 2006) has priority and Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) sinogalbina nom. n. is proposed as a new replacement for the junior secondary homonymy Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009

TYPE SPECIES. — Gansuceratoikiscum guanzhuangensis Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2010 (Wang et al. 2010: 473, pl. 1, fig. 11). AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Sandbian, Upper Ordovician, Pingliang Formation, Gansu Province, China. TAXON CODE. — 015. STATUS. — Valid. DIAGNOSIS. — “Six rod-like primary spines positioned in eccentric place. The pairs of caveal ribs are paired on the dorsal rod of the a-rod; The patagial tissue is present on one lateral side of the i-rod. A single row of arches (or by-spines) connect the primary spines, forming a simple cortical shell.”(Wang et al. 2010: 48). REMARKS This genus differs from Protoceratoikiscum in that it has a framework composed of 6 rods connecting to a median bar. Ceratoikisum has 3 rods (a, b, intersector) that cross to form a triangle. It differs from Protoceratoikiscum in that it possesses row of arches that connect the primary rods to form a subcircular shell, and the rods join in an eccentric position in Gansuceratoikiscum.Published as part of Noble, Paula, Aitchison, Jonathan C., Danelian, Taniel, Dumitrica, Paulian, Maletz, Jörg, Suzuki, Noritoshi, Cuvelier, Jessie, Caridroit, Martial & O'Dogherty, Luis, 2017, Taxonomy of Paleozoic radiolarian genera, pp. 419-502 in Geodiversitas 39 (3) on page 424, DOI: 10.5252/g2017n3a4, http://zenodo.org/record/520658

Antennal dimorphism is present, a condition previously found in a Chinese species of Trissopelopia (Cheng and Wang 2005) and a Nearctic species of Oliveridia (Oliver 1983). As in the female, the shape of the dorsomedial eye extension in specimens with femalelike antennae is noticeably broader. The present new species is similar to H. trina sp. n. in having antennal dimorphism, but its wing has one marking (Fig. 17), whereas the wing of H. trina sp. n. has three distinct pigmented areas (Fig. 30). In addition, the present new species differs from H. trina sp. n. by its overall yellowish body color.Published as part of Cheng, Ming & Wang, Xinhua, 2006, Review of Hayesomyia Murray & Fittkau (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) from China, pp. 35-59 in Zootaxa 1147 on pages 43-45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17209
Abolition of Extraterritoriality in China and Wang Cheng-T'ing
Full text linkThis paper aimed to demonstrate Wang Cheng-Tʼ ingʼs diplomatic attitude towards abolition of extraterritoriality. As a result, I indicated that he called for abolition of extraterritoriality in principle, and left the way open for settlement of the question on the basis of gradualism, that the extraterritoriality in China was not only
a judicial and political problem but also an economic problem to Wang Cheng-Tʼ ing.Though Wang Cheng-Tʼ ing, who considered speedy abolition of extraterritoriality, he might not claim an immediate and total abolition of extraterritoriality. His tactics was a gradual and progressive abolition of extraterritoriality. So we could characterized Wang Cheng-Tʼ ingʼs diplomacy as gradualism.departmental bulletin pape
