Viola singularis J. M. Watson
No full textViola singularis J.M. Watson & A.R. Flores Type: ARGENTINA. Provincia de Catamarca, Belén, Río de los Nacimientos, entre rocas, en la orilla del río, mimética, 21-I-1992, Luis A. Del Vitto s.n. (MERL 55055). Location:— The true position in Catamarca is sited 600 km to the north and slightly east of the speculative version provided in the protologue (Watson & Flores 2009). Information on the water resources of Catamarca, published by the province’s local government (ETISIG 2014), positions the Río de Los Nacimientos (otherwise known as Río Las Cuevas) north of Belén, above and to the north of Los Nacimientos village. The valley of the Río Villa Vil lies to the west, and both watercourses meet south of Hualfín to form the Río Belén. Several maps we have consulted confirm this geography. We estimate the probable elevation of the viola site at between 3500 and 4500 m. Figs. 1 & 2.Published as part of Watson, John M. & Flores, Ana R., 2014, Upping their number, addressing their risk.

Hydrorhiza with scattered nematothecae similar to laterals, but with longer bases.</p> <p>Male gonotheca facing forward along hydrocladium, borne on a pedicel of two or three short segments beside median inferior nematotheca; kidney-shaped to ovoid, walls smooth, perisarc thin; one long conical nematotheca above base, basal chamber of nematotheca long, narrow, cup shallow saucer-shaped. Aperture of gonotheca terminal, circular, slightly oblique to gonothecal axis, operculum a sheet of tissue. Female similar to male, but with two large nematothecae near base, gonophores developing into a single large planula at maturity.</p> <p>Cnidome comprising two categories of nematocysts:</p> <p>i) microbasic mastigophore (?p-mastigophore), capsule bean-shaped, 16– 17 x 10–12 µm, shaft 10–12 µm, inflated about mid length to distal third with two rows of spines, thread thick, moderately long, abundant, site unknown.</p> <p>ii)?isorhiza, capsule small, pyriform, 4– 6 x 2–3 µm, thread thick, moderately long, site unknown.</p> <p>Colour of colonies pale creamy yellow.</p> <p>Hydrocladium</p> <p>basal length of athecate internode 120–320 basal length of nematothecate internode 360–624 diameter of internode 56–64 basal length of nematothecate internode 240–312 basal length of hydrothecate internode 200–224 width at transverse node 48–52 length of abcauline wall 152–160 length of free adcauline wall 112–120 diameter at rim 176–192</p> <p>Nematotheca</p> <p>median, athecate segment, length base 30–40 median, abcauline depth of cup 20–26 median inferior, length base 40–58 median inferior, abcauline depth of cup 28–30 lateral, length of pedicel 50–58 lateral, length of base to cup 24–36 width cup, lateral view 50–51 median superior, length 24–36 gonothecal, length of base 64–88 gonothecal, length of base 80–82 gonothecal, depth of cup 32–40</p> <p>Gonotheca</p> <p>female, length of pedicel 56– 72 female, length 432– 456 female, maximum width 240– 280 male, length of pedicel 80– 11 male, length, excluding pedicel 448– 560 male, maximum width 256–280</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Six species of <i>Antennella</i> are reported from Australia: <i>A. secundaria</i> (Gmelin, 1791), <i>A. tubulosa</i> (Bale, 1894), <i>A. campanulaformis</i> (Mulder & Trebilcock, 1909) and <i>A. microscopica</i> (Mulder & Trebilcock, 1909), <i>A. dubia</i> Stechow, 1923b and <i>A. siliquosa</i> Stechow, 1923b.</p> <p> In a review of the family Halopterididae Schuchert (1997) examined the type specimen of <i>A. microscopica</i> but found it too fragmentary for confident recognition. No more material of <i>A. microscopica</i> has been found; it is likely to be a poorly preserved specimen of another species of <i>Antennella</i>. <i>A. tubulosa</i> is a rare species which has been recorded only twice, once from the type locality of Port Phillip (Bale 1894) and from Pearson Island in the eastern Great Australian Bight (Watson 1973). Schuchert (1997) redescribed <i>A. campanulaformis</i> from Mulder & Trebilcock’s type material and included <i>A. dubia</i> and <i>A. siliquosa</i> from Western Australia in its synonymy.</p> <p> <i>A. secundaria</i> is a widely distributed species in southern Australia (Stechow 1923b; Watson (1973, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003), Queensland (Pennycuik 1959) and northern Australia (Watson 2000). Schuchert (1997) considered <i>A. secundaria</i> to be a very variable species with one to three median nematothecae on the ahydrothecate internode, suggesting it may prove to be a group of species.</p> <p> The finding of the present material led to re-examination of the author’s extensive collection of <i>Antennella</i> from southeastern Australia. While many specimens bear two to three median inferior nematothecae on the ahydrothecate internode, some from various localities consistently bore only one on a long, slender internode; it is here recognised as a new species, <i>Antennella singulata</i>. <i>A</i>. <i>singulata</i> is closely related to but is distinguished from <i>A. secundaria</i> by the single median nematotheca on the ahydrothecate internode.</p> <p> <i>Antennella singulata</i> occurs on a variety of substrates including soft sponges, mussel shells and algae.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named for the single nematotheca on the ahydrothecate internode.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Western Port, Port Phillip and south-eastern Australian coast to Port Kembla, New South Wales.</p>Published as part of <i>Watson, Jeanette E., 2011, New species, new records and redescriptions of Thecate hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Leptothecata) from Southern Australia, pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3122</i> on pages 15-18, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/203966">10.5281/zenodo.203966</a>

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
