Licea craterioides Yamamoto 1991
No full text* Licea craterioides Yamamoto (1991: 12). Fig. 6. Description:—Sporocarps scattered or in small groups, sessile, short cylindrical to subglobose, 200–290 µm in height, 140–280 µm in diameter, narrowed downward, grayish olive (110) to almost black (267). Peridium covered with refuse matter, the inner surface bears small warts, that are often connected by thin ridges forming an incomplete net of irregular branched lines. Dehiscence circumscissile by preformed lid on the apex. Lid often darker than the rest of peridium. Spores from dark brown to almost black in mass, grayish greenish yellow (105) to dark grayish olive (111) by transmitted light, with paler area, (12.5–) 13.5–14.8 (–15.2) µm in diameter, smooth. Material examined:— LOC 32 (MYX 10060). Habitat:—bark of living trees (Syringa amurensis), pH: 5.23 (n = 1). Distribution:— Japan (Yamamoto 1991), Far East of Russia. Notes:—This rare species was described from Japan (Yamamoto 1991) and this is the first record made outside of that country. The key features of L. craterioides are small dark sessile sporocarps, usually short and cylindrical with a preformed operculum, which reminds of the members of the genus Craterium, finely warted surface of the inner peridium, and smooth spores. Our specimen consists of a few sporocarps and has slightly larger spores than it was indicated in the original description (12.5–15.2 μm vs. 11–12.7) but does not differ by any other features. L. craterioides can be distinguished from L. parasitica on the basis of the sporocarp shape (short cylindrical vs. pulvinate). The inner peridium ornamentation of the both species is similar by transmitted light, but is different by scanning electron micrograph. L. parasitica has individual scattered warts (Fig. 10 E), whereas L. craterioides has warts connected by thin ridges or fused (Fig. 6 D).Published as part of Bortnikov, Fedor M., Gmoshinskiy, Vladimir I. & Novozhilov, Yuri K., 2022, Species of Licea Schrad.

Database Theory, Yuri, and Me
No full textYuri Gurevich made many varied and deep contributions to logic for computer science. Logic provides also the theoretical foundation of database systems. Hence, it is almost unavoidable that Gurevich made some great contributions to database theory. We discuss some of these contributions, and, along the way, present some personal anecdotes connected to Yuri and the author. We also describe the honorary doctorate awarded to Gurevich by Hasselt University (then called Limburgs Universitair Centrum) in 1998
Licea rugosa Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto 1987
No full textLicea rugosa Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto (1987: 326) Fig. 17. Description:—Sporocarps black (267), stalked, about 140–270 µm in total height. Sporotheca 90–140 µm in diameter. Inner peridium warted, dehiscence along preformed lines into irregular fragments. Stalk about 70–150 µm, thick, wrinkled. Spores dark brown to black in mass, dark olivaceous (108) by transmitted light, paler on one side, (10.7–) 12.5–15.7 (–17.2) µm in diameter, smooth. Material examined:— LOC 2 (MYX 11295, MYX 11301, MYX 11307), LOC 10 (recorded only by photo), LOC 11 (MYX 10196, MYX 10202, MYX 10209), LOC 16 (MYX 10147), LOC 37 (MYX 10028). Habitat:—bark of living trees (Acer mandshuricum, Chosenia arbutifolia, Kalopanax septemlobus, Quercus mongolica and Ulmus japonica), pH: 6.40–7.27 (n = 9). Notes:—This species has recently been found in the Russian Far East (Novozhilov et al., 2017). The specimen MYX 10196 is identified as L. rugosa var. fujiokana. It has smaller (9.6–10.6 μm) and slightly light colored spores than L. rugosa var. rugosa, which is the main distinguishing feature of this variety (Wrigley de Basanta & Lado 2005) (compare Fig. 17 J and K). L. rugosa var. fujiokana has sporocarps 120–195 μm in height, stalk 70–120 μm in height, and sporotheca 60–80 μm in diameter. The peridium surface in the dry state is more wrinkled than that the one in L. rugosa var. rugosa (compare Fig. 17 A–C and D–H).Published as part of Bortnikov, Fedor M., Gmoshinskiy, Vladimir I. & Novozhilov, Yuri K., 2022, Species of Licea Schrad.

YURI KOUZNETSOV AND POLAND
No full textThis article analyses a translation of one of Adam Mickiewicz’s Sonnets from the Crimea made by Yuri Kouznetsov, a famous Russian poet. It is not incidental that some Polish toponyms coincide with personal names mentioned in Kouznetsov’s poetry. The author of the article examines the system of symbols that Kouznetsov resorts to in his texts concerning either Polish themes or stories. It is concluded that in one of his philosophical verses Kouznetsov proclaimed Polish and German culture to have messianic value
Licea atricapilla Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto 1983
No full text* Licea atricapilla Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto (1983: 208). Fig. 2. Description:—Sporocarps scattered, stalked or rarely sessile, subglobose, usually iridescent excepting a mostly dark apical disk of refuse matter, 105–210 µm in total height, 105–145 µm in diameter. Peridium membranous, outer surface shining, covered on the top by a blackish (65) or rarely lighter cap of refuse matter. Inner peridium surface minutely warted. Dehiscence irregular or nearly circumscissile. Stalk black (267), usually ranges from 1/3 to 1/2 of the total height, but sometimes very short or almost absent. Spores almost black in mass, pale to dark olivaceous-brown (94 to 96) by transmitted light, spore wall with a thinner pale area, (11.1–) 11.5–13.0 (–13.6) µm in diameter, smooth. Material examined:— LOC 2 (MYX 11289, MYX 11300), LOC 11 (MYX 10203), LOC 17 (MYX 10170, MYX 11314). Habitat:—bark of living trees (Chosenia arbutifolia), pH: 6.57–6.94 (n = 5). Distribution:— Japan (Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto 1983; Yamamoto 1998), Far East of Russia (approximately 1000 km northwest of the type location in Japan). Notes:—Our specimens are fully consistent with the original description (Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto 1983), although they have slightly smaller sporocarps (105–210 µm in total height vs. 260 µm). Licea metallica D. Wrigley, T.W. Ko Ko, W.C. Rosing & S.L. Stephenson, described from northern Laos (Wrigley de Basanta et al. 2017) and L. iridescens H.W. Keller & V.M. Marshall, described from the USA (Keller & Marshall 2019), are similar to L. atricapilla (Table 1). Licea metallica, according to the original description, differs from L. atricapilla by subsessile sporocarps, light apical disc, and irregular dehiscence. However, our Licea atricapilla specimens, along with typical sporocarps on short stalks (Fig. 2, A, B, D, and E), have several subsessile sporocarps (Fig. 2 C and F), and some specimens have not black but lighter-colored apical disc (Fig. 2 A). The sessile form of L. atricapilla also occurs among Japanese specimens (Yamamoto, 1998, p. 136). The dehiscence type in our specimens is unclear, but appears not to be distinctly ring-shaped. The original description of Licea iridescens does not provide any features distinguishing this species from Licea atricapilla. However, analyzing the description and illustrations, it appears that this species has both sporocarps on short stalks and sessile forms (Keller & Marshall, 2019, Figs. 4 F and 6 A). Additionally, the apical disk can be either almost black or lighter-colored, orange-brown (l.c., Fig., 3 F, 4 C, 6 C). Crystal inclusions in the peridium occur both in L. iridescens (l.c., Fig. 4 A) and in L. atricapilla (Fig. 2 A). The microhabitats of L. atricapilla, L. metallica, and L. iridescens are also similar. Our L. atricapilla specimens were obtained in a moist chamber on the bark of Chosenia arbutifolia with pH 6.57–6.94 (mean = 6,79). L. metallica was found on the bark of unidentified trees with pH 5.0–6.5 (mean = 5.9) (Wrigley de Basanta et al. 2017). In the original descriptions of L. atricapilla and L. iridescens, no data are given on pH of the bark of Cinnamomum camphora and Ulmus americana, respectively; however, according to other studies from the adjacent geographical regions, pH of Cinnamomum camphora is 5.2–7.9 (mean = 6.6) (Takahashi 2014) and pH of Ulmus americana about 7.0 (Parker & Keller 2003 as cited by Kilgore et al. 2008). Therefore, all three species apparently prefer the bark of deciduous trees with pH ~ 6–7. Other features such as characteristics of the outer and inner peridia, size, color, and ornamentation of the spores, height and diameter of the sporocarps, also do not differ significantly between these three species (Table 1). All characteristics vary within a common range. However, we consider L. metallica and L. iridescens as separate morphological species, until a comparison of marker gene sequences and morphological features of our and/or type specimens of L. atricapilla from Japan with the type specimens of L. metallica and L. iridescens are made.Published as part of Bortnikov, Fedor M., Gmoshinskiy, Vladimir I. & Novozhilov, Yuri K., 2022, Species of Licea Schrad.

Yuri Apollonovich Ptashkovsky (1948—2015)
No full textYuri Apollonovich Ptashkovsky (Юрий Аполлонович Пташковский, in Russian) was born on April 4, 1948, in Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, and spent most of his life there. He studied at the Khmelnytskyi Electromechanical College, specializing as an electrical technician. He later worked as head of the cinema-photo laboratory of the Khmelnytskyi Municipal Palace of Culture and also led the Children’s Photography Club. Despite his technical education, Yuri’s devotion to nature and studies of nature were evident from his early years. From young age, he passionately observed and investigated insects, especially beetles. Yuri started his own private beetle collection at the age of fourteen. He carefully mounted the specimens for his collection and identified them using available entomological literature. By 1978, his collection amounted to about 1,500 species of beetles. ...Yuri came to Israel on October 28, 1998, joining his eldest son, who was already living in Kibbutz Malkiyya. Yuri settled in Qiryat Hayyim, one of the northern suburbs of Haifa, where he remained for the rest of his life. He worked as a geodesist for the Jewish National Fund (KKL) until his retirement in 2013. From his very first steps in the country, Yuri became fascinated by the incredible diversity of the local beetle fauna, and immediately began collecting insects. Many of his field trips were in and around Qiryat Hayyim, in surrounding fields, and in marine dunes, although he also collected in other parts of the country, particularly in the Upper Galilee, Golan Heights, and on Mount Hermon. Working as a geodesist for KKL, he traveled regularly across northern Israel and was able to assemble a valuable collection of beetles and to photograph them in their natural environment. When the number of his photographed species exceeded 1,000, Yuri came up with the idea of making an illustrated atlas of Israeli Coleoptera.In 2009, after eight years of intensive work the atlas—the first of its kind—was published. The first edition was in Russian and Hebrew, with only a few printed copies. The second edition of 50 copies was published in 2013 in English, with Russian and Hebrew names of some beetle taxa. The atlas is illustrated with 1,800 color images of 1,655 beetle species, some of them taken by the author and some borrowed from various sources. Some of the taxa are briefly described, others are only mentioned by name and by distribution; identification guidelines and sketches are provided for some species and genera. The books were published at Yuri’s own expense. Over the last few years, Yuri began to work on a third edition of his atlas, but his untimely death has interrupted this admirable endeavor. Yuri passed away unexpectedly, from a stroke, on February 9, 2015. He is survived by his wife Galina, two sons and a daughter.
