Taxonomic revision of Brasiloniscus (Oniscidea, Pudeoniscidae) with description of a new species
(2018)
The Neotropical genus Brasiloniscus, erected by Lemos de Castro (1973), is revised and validated herein. The genus was originally described including two species, B. maculatus and B. verrucosus, but no type species was designated. According to § 13 of ICZN (1999) the name of the genus is therefore unavailable. Both species are redescribed, and B. maculatus is designated as the type species of the genus. The genus name will thus be available for the systematics of Oniscidea. In addition, a new species, B. littoralis gen. et sp. nov., is described based on material from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest from the state of Rio de Janeiro.
El presente artículo aborda el análisis de los teóricos de Frankfurtrt, especialmente Adorno, Marcuse, Walter Benjamin y Horkheimer, y su actualidad en relación a la educación. La motivación ante un mundo en que ascienden valores de extrema derecha y fundamentalismos religiosos, este escenario motiva a cuestionar cuál es el papel que la educación realiza para combatir extremismos e intolerancias. Ámbito de pertinencia. Este artículo está directamente relacionado con la filosofía de la educación. Justificación y relevancia. Se justifica este tema por tratar de aspectos teleológicos de la función de la educación. En el sentido de problematizar el carácter teleológico de la educación a partir de conceptos filosóficos que buscan la autonomía del sujeto en lugar de sólo adecuarlo a lo que está puesto. Como metodología recurre a los estudios bibliográficos y reflexiones críticas sobre la educación y su carácter político en la construcción de una conciencia social emancipada de valores que legitiman opresión. Resultado y discusión. Se realizó un estudio sobre teoría crítica de Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin, Habermas y Marcuse como aportes para la construcción de una educación que además de buscar la inclusión, busque también ser un instrumento político de combate a los valores de prejuicios, que hoy son reavivados con el ascenso de fundamentalismos religiosos, xenofobia y ascensión de la extrema derecha. Conclusión. Se concluye que la escuela tiene una finalidad política de educar para un mundo de solidaridad y respeto por las diferencias.
This article deals with the analysis of Frankfurtrt's theorists, especially Adorno, Marcuse, Walter Benjamin and Horkheimer, and their relevance in relation to education. Motivation, faced with a world in which extreme-right values and religious fundamentalisms are promoted, such a scenario motivates us to question the role that education plays in combating extremism and intolerance. Scope of relevance. This article is directly related to the philosophy of education. Justification and relevance. This topic is justified because it deals with teleological aspects of the function of education. In the sense of questioning the teleological character of education based on philosophical concepts that seek the autonomy of the subject instead of just the human being to what is settled. As a methodology, it resorts to bibliographical studies and critical reflections on education and its political character in the construction of an emancipated social conscience of values that legitimize oppression. Results and discussion. A study on Critical Theory of Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin, Habermas and Marcuse was conducted as contributions to the construction of an education that, in addition to seeking inclusion, also seeks to be a political instrument to combat prejudice, which is nowadays alive again with the rise of religious fundamentalisms, xenophobia and the rise of extreme-right political ideas. Conclusion. It is concluded that the school has the political purpose to educate for a world of solidarity and respect for differences.
The new genus Thaicypridopsis gen. nov. described here belongs to the tribe Zonocypridini Higuti & Martens, 2012 in the subfamily Cypridopsinae Kaufmann, 1900. It is the first record of the Recent representatives within this tribe in Southeast Asia and Oriental regions. Thaicypridopsis gen. nov. has a number of remarkable characters that distinguish it from other genera in the subfamily: a submarginal row of distinctive tubercles on the postero-ventral part of the right valve in the interior view, a strong serrated claw G2 on the second antenna with an apical concavity, large bristles with hirsute endings and spatula-shaped apexes on all three maxillular endites and a bifurcate tip on the terminal claw of the second thoracopod. One new species, Thaicypridopsis longispinosa sp. nov., is described under this new genus in the present contribution. Apart from the above diagnostic characters, the new species also has long spines on the valve surface as its outstanding feature. The new taxon is morphologically compared with other related species and genera within and outside the subfamily Cypridopsinae. In addition, due to the new genus belonging to a group of genera with the left valve overlapping the right valve in the subfamily, a key to the genera within this group is given.
Conidera Rivalier, 1961 is a well-defined subgenus of tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) hitherto only known from two species endemic to the island of Luzon. This paper describes the first species from Mindoro, with a doubtful record from Mindanao. Cylindera (Conidera) mindoroana Zettel and Wiesner, new species, differs strongly by an unusual shape of the female’s elytra. A diagnosis for Conidera and a key to the species of this subgenus is presented.
