    Re-examination of the syntypes of the capillariid nematode Neocapillaria phoxini Yu et Wang, 1994, the type species of Neocapillaria Yu et Wang, 1994, described from the intestine of the freshwater fish Phoxinus lagowskii variegatus Gunther (Cyprinidae) from China, confirmed its morphological similarity with species of Freitascapillaria Moravec, 1987, to which it is transferred as Freitascapillaria phoxini (Yu et Wang, 1994) comb. n. Consequently, Neocapillaria Yu et Wang, 1994 (a homonym to Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987) and Sinocapillaria Moravec et Spratt, 1998 become junior synonyms of Freitascapillaria. Skrjabinocapillaria gigantea is transferred to Freitascapillaria as F. gigantea (Wang, 1984) comb. n.Re-examination of the syntypes of the capillariid nematode Neocapillaria phoxini Yu et Wang, 1994, the type species of Neocapillaria Yu et Wang, 1994, described from the intestine of the freshwater fish Phoxinus lagowskii variegatus Gunther (Cyprinidae) from China, confirmed its morphological similarity with species of Freitascapillaria Moravec, 1987, to which it is transferred as Freitascapillaria phoxini (Yu et Wang, 1994) comb. n.

    Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture

    Full text link
    This thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry

This species can be distinguished from its congeners in the male genitalia by the sub-triangular juxta with neither posterior lobes nor a flap, the aedeagus with two needle-like cornuti (Fig. 8), in the female genitalia by the weakly sclerotized antrum longer than wide, and the ductus bursae shorter than the corpus bursae (Fig. 12). Distribution. China (Hainan, Taiwan, Zhejiang). Remarks. Lepidozonates viciniolus is synonymized with Philharmonia adusta Park, 2000. Lepidozonates viciniolus is identical to P. adusta in appearance, venation, as well as in the male and female genitalia, and closely distributed geographically. The presence of the plumose scales on the pleural membrane are not mentioned in the original description, but other characters are well in consistent with those of P. adusta.Published as part of Yu, Shuai & Wang, Shuxia, 2021, Genus Lepidozonates Park (Lepidoptera, Lecithoceridae) from China, with description of a new species, pp. 591-597 in Zootaxa 4903 (4) on pages 592-593, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4903.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/443149

    Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer

    Full text link
    This thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title

Asci 130–285 × 6.0–12.5 µm, cylindrical, hyaline. Apical cap hemispherical, 3.5–5.0 × 6.0–8.5 µm. Ascospores as long as asci, hyaline, filiform, multi-septate, smooth, disarticulating into secondary spores. Secondary spores 7.9–13 × 2.3–3.5 µm, fusiform with rounded ends. Asexual morph:— Sexual and asexual morph usually existing in the same stroma, exclusively anamorphic stromata pulvinate with sloping sides (convex), pale yellow to orange. Conidiomata aggregated in center of stroma, simple depressions of the surface without distinct rims, several conidiomata per stroma, fusing with neighboring ones, widely open. Conidial masses orange. In section, conidioma flask-shaped or irregular, shallow, 150–180 × 130–170 µm, with phialides formed in a thick compact palisade.

    Nosphistica abunda Yu et Wang, sp. nov. (Figs 9, 22) Type material. CHINA, Hainan Province: Holotype &male;, Wuzhishan, 742 m, 4.VII.2014, leg. Beixin Cong, Linjie Liu & Sha Hu, slide No. YS 17096. Paratypes (2&male;): Guizhou Province: 2&male;, Heiwan, Jiangkou County, 600 m, 27–28.VII.2001, leg. Houhun Li & Xinpu Wang, slide Nos. LSR13148, LSR13157. Diagnosis. This species is similar to N. apiculata sp. nov. in both superficial and male genital characters. It differs from the latter in the male genitalia by the uncus obtuse on the posterior margin and the valva widened from distal 1/3 to apex; in N. apiculata sp. nov., the posterior margin of the uncus is triangularly produced and sharply tipped, and the valva is uniform from distal 1/3 to before apex. This species is superficially similar to N. bisinuata Park, 2002, and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of the preceding species. Description. Adult (Fig. 9) wingspan 12.0–14.0 mm. Head pale orange, mixed with brown scales. Antenna with scape elongate, pale orange dorsally, brown ventrally; flagellum pale orange, annulated with dark brown dorsally. Labial palpus pale orange, mottled brown scales, becoming denser on outer surface; second segment thickened; third segment slender, nearly as long as second segment. Thorax and tegula brown. Forewing with costal margin slightly arched, apex obtusely produced, termen concave; ground color dark brown with scattered orange-white scales; discocellular stigma rod-like, gently arched outward, dark brown, surrounded by dense white scales; subterminal line white, running from beyond distal 1/4 of costal margin to dorsum before tornus, arched outward medially; fringe dark brown, mixed with orange white; basal line orange white. Hindwing with costal margin straight, apex sharply produced, termen sinuate twice; ground color brown except dark brown from before middle to distal 1/4 between costal margin and M 3 of wing; dark brown between 3A and dorsum, interrupted by a white patch; discocellular stigma clavate, dilated anteriorly, dark brown, surrounded by dense white scales; subterminal line white, running from distal 1/4 of costal margin to tornus, arched outward at anterior 1/3 and inward at posterior 1/3; fringe dark brown mixed with orange white; basal line orange white. Legs orange white, femora as well as fore and mid tibiae mixed with dense dark brown scales, mid tibia roughly scaled, hind tibia with dense long scales. Male genitalia (Fig. 22). Uncus sub-pentagonal; posterior margin obtuse, with a setose semicircular process medially; anterior margin shallowly concave medially. Gnathos with basal plate sub-rectangular and bilobate posteriorly; median process broad at base, tapered to apex, curved ventrad at 2/3 almost by a right angle. Valva broad at base, narrowed to 2/3, then slightly widened to obtusely rounded apex; costa broadly and shallowly concave; ventral margin concave from about basal 1/4 to apex; sacculus wide at base, narrowed and terminated beyond middle of ventral margin. Juxta with basal part sclerotized and concave laterally, distal part membranous, triangularly produced anteromedially; lateral process short triangular, with a few setae along inner margin. Vinculum broad, obtuse anteriorly. Aedeagus nearly as long as valva, stout, gently bent; one cornutus relatively large, plate shaped, placed before apex, other cornuti small, thumbtack shaped. Female unknown. Distribution. China (Guizhou, Hainan). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin abundus (= abundant), referring to the aedeagus having numerous cornuti in the male genitalia.Published as part of Yu, Shuai & Wang, Shuxia, 2019, Taxonomic study of the genus Nosphistica Meyrick, 1911 (Lepidoptera Lecithoceridae) from China, with descriptions of seven new species, pp. 497-517 in Zootaxa 4664 (4) on pages 505-506, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4664.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/338691
