This paper proposes a new sound rule for Proto-Slavic, according to which *g (from PIE *g, *gw, *gh, and *gwh) was lost before *m. This development was posterior to Winter’s law and the merger of voiced and aspirated stop in Slavic. The operation of the rule is illustrated by new etymologies of four Slavic words: *ama, *jama ‘hole, pit’, *těmę ‘sinciput’, *mąžь ‘husband, man’, and *remy ‘leather belt’.
U članku se raspravlja o istrorumunjskim nazivima koji su u bilo kakvoj svezi sa stablom (općenito). Obrađeni su oblici dio opsežnijega korpusa od preko 8000 oblika koji smo sami prikupili (istraživanja su obavljana u više navrata od 1985. godine – posljednje provjere i dopune korpusa obavljene su tekuće, 2010., godine i to u svim mjestima gdje se i danas govori istrorumunjski: Žejane, Šušnjevica, Nova Vas, Jesenovik, Letaj, Brdo, Škabići, Trkovci, Zankovci, Miheli, Kostrčan). Uz svaku obrađenu riječ navode se odgovarajuće iz svih dostupnih nam istrorumunjskih repertoara. Za svaku riječ daje se etimologijsko tumačenje do kojeg se dolazi usporedbom pojedinog termina s odgovarajućim čakavskim i istromletačkim okolnim govorima, a ako je riječ domaća, daju se i paralele iz ostala tri rumunjska dijalekta. U obrađenoj građi prevladavaju posuđenice iz čakavskih govora. Domaćih je riječi 14, no za neke se to ne može s potpunom sigurnošću utvrditi jer se u potpunosti poklapaju s čakavskim ekvivalentima. Izravnih posuđenica iz (istro)mletačkoga nema.
U radu se analiziraju eliptični oblici anglizama u ruskome i hrvatskome jeziku i dopunjuje pristup njihove dosadašnje kvalifikacije i klasifikacije. Preciznijim definicijama stupnja elipse u anglizmu predlaže se jednostavnije i jasnije određivanje njihovih granica i razlika. Na temelju rezultata analize anglizama uočene su nove mogućnosti u njihovu formiranju. U formiranju eliptičnoga oblika anglizma nije nužno samo ispuštanje određenih elemenata, već se eliptični oblik anglizma može formirati i s pomoću kombinacija drugih tvorbenih načina: kombinacijom elipse i supstitucije, elipse i kompozicije, elipse i adicije, elipse, supstitucije i adicije, elipse, supstitucije i kompozicije te kombinacijom elipse, adicije i kompozicije.
U članku se na temelju podataka dobivenih usmjerenim terenskim istraživanjem u govoru Novalje na otoku Pagu prikazuju naglasni tipovi imenica u tom govoru s obzirom na mjesto i vrstu naglaska (i podtipovi s obzirom na postojanje prednaglasnih duljina te varijante s obzirom na stupanj inovativnosti): a) tip a sa stalnim mjestom naglaska na vokalu osnove, b) tip b sa stalnim mjestom naglaska na vokalu nastavka, c) tip c s alterniraju263;im mjestom naglaska na vokalu osnove i na vokalu nastavka.
U radu se analizira poglavlje Sprichwörter – Prirečja iz Kristijanovićeva Anhanga, aneksnog rječnika dodanog njegovoj Grammatik der kroatischen Mundart. Prirečja sadrže kajkavsku paremiološku građu s njemačkim ekvivalentima koja se analizira s obzirom na njezine izvore i leksikografsku obradbu. Pokazuje se da osim poslovica rječnik sadrži i frazeme i kolokvijalne izraze. Posebna se pozornost posvećuje semantičkoj analizi poslovica i naznačuje na koji se aspekt ljudskog života pouka i poruka odnose.
Elision of /h, ?/ in the Shirazi Dialect of Persian (SHDP) : an optimality theory based analysis
(2010)
Until recently, many researchers have shown interest in studying lenitions, which are examples of the most common universal types of phonological processes. Elision of laryngeals (glottal fricative /h/ and glottal stop /?/) is one of the most common phonological alternations exhibited in the Shirazi dialect of Persian (SHDP) which to the knowledge of the researchers, has not been studied to date. This paper seeks to provide a description of the facts about this common phonological alternation in the addressed regional dialect of Persian and points out some main differences between the behavior of these processes in SHDP and Standard Persian (SP). The analysis is cast in an Optimal Theoretic (OT) framework (McCarthy and Prince 1995, 2001), which holds that linguistic forms are the outcome of interaction among violable universal constraints. The present study shows that the addressed processes of consonant deletion in SHDP are restricted by syllabic position and are conditioned by coda position, intervocalic position or consonant clusters. They are usually blocked in the onset, but there are cases where reduction is allowed in the onset of the stressed syllable. Thus, the study adds SHDP to the list of languages which permit lenition in the onset of the stressed syllable. The addressed processes of elision are always blocked in word-initial position and laryngeal elision is always followed by Compensatory lengthening (CL), even after deletion from the onset of the stressed syllable.
Key words: lenition or weakening, laryngeal elision, phonological processes, Optimality Theory
Rani razvoj goranskih govora
(2010)
U radu se razmatra povijest hrvatskih govora u Gorskome kotaru, koji se obično smatraju kajkavskim govorima. Obrađuju se različite promjene u akcentuaciji, konsonantizmu i vokalizmu do približno 16. stoljeća. One se uspoređuju sa sličnim promjenama u susjednim kajkavskim, slovenskim, čakavskim i štokavskim dijalektima. Najstarije nam izoglose pokazuju da goranske govore ne možemo smatrati doseljenim izdaleka ili miješanim. Moramo ih smjestiti u Gorski kotar već prije otomanskih nadiranja u 15. i 16. stoljeću. Raspravlja se o tome da je Gorski kotar dijalektno područje kroz koje teče više izoglosa koje postaju razumljive kad smještamo ovo područje u perspektivu okolnih južnoslavenskih narječja.
Prema opisima u suvremenim hrvatskim gramatikama dalo bi se zaključiti da hrvatski koordinativne složenice ili ne poznaje ili da ih je toliko malo da ne traže opis. U članku se podsjeća da je u starijim gramatikama o njima bilo riječi, a da svojom suvremenom količinom i različitim ostvarajima (imeničke, pridjevske, priložne, sa spojnicima -o- i -0-) gramatički opis itekako zaslužuju. Pokazuje se zbog kojih se svojih odlika takve složenice mogu smatrati riječima, a ne spojevima riječi, sintagmama. Na primjeru jezika Anke Žagar pokazuje se da model koordinativnih složenica kao potencija može unutar poezije poprimiti i jezičnostvaralačke inačice.
Dijalekti u Gorskom kotaru
(2010)
U Gorskome kotaru govori se svim našim narječjima, kajkavskim, štokavskim i čakavskim, ali rijetki su dijalektolozi koji ih istražuju. U radu se iznosi pregled osnovnih fonoloških i morfoloških karakteristika zabilježenih u dosadašnjim istraživanjima na tom području. Uz zabilježene potvrde promatranih osobina, radu je priložen fonološki zapis jednoga goranskoga idioma.
U radu je ponuđena raščlamba stilskih i govorničkih figura u poeziji i u putopisima fra Ivana Franje Jukića, angažiranoga franjevačkoga pisca i borca za političku samostalnsot Bosne. Autor je utvrdio da Jukić u svoj književni izraz unosi elemente narodnih govora, što se posebno zapaža u uporabi pučkih fraza i kolokacija. S druge strane, izbor tzv. knjiških figura otkriva utjecaj franjevačke tradicije, posebno jezika starijih franjevačkih ljetopisa.
Posljedice globalizacijskih procesa vidljive su i u jeziku kao tendencija k internacionalizaciji. Internacionalizacija, ili možda preciznije angloamerikanizacija, zahvatila je sve jezike modernoga svijeta. Hrvatski jezik nije iznimka. U ovom ćemo radu spomenuti samo neke od posljedica internacionalizacije, i to na leksičkoj, tvorbenoj i semantičkoj razini.
U prilogu se s kontrastivnog aspekta analiziraju frazemi hrvatskoga i češkoga jezika kojima je sastavnica zoonim. Životinja je još od pradavnih vremena najbliži čovjekov suputnik. U svim se narodima životinjama pripisuju simbolična značenja i ljudske osobine i to najčešće one negativne što ćemo i pokušati dokazati ovim prilogom. Naime, ljudi su kroz povijest pripisivali životinjama određene stereotipe. Tako se pozitivno određuju domaće životinje i to one od kojih čovjek ima više koristi, za razliku od divljih prema kojima je puno kritičniji i skloniji negativnome određenju. S obzirom na to da zoonimska frazeologija obuhvaća širok dijapazon različitih značenja u ovome ćemo se prilogu baviti onim frazemima koji svojim značenjem ulaze u koncept ljudskih osobina, stanja, izgleda, načina kretanja te odnosa prema jelu i piću. Pri tome se objašnjava i simbolika pojedine životinje jer se time razumije i pozadinska slika pojedina frazema. Također u prilogu se provodi i kontrastivna analiza izdvojenih hrvatskih i čeških frazema s obzirom na navedene koncepte te se utvrđuju podudarnosti i razlike.
Ključne riječi: frazem; zoonim; frazemska pozadinska slika; kontrastivna analiza; hrvatski jezik; češki jezik
U radu se promatraju akuzativne dopune uz desetak neprijelaznih glagola u hrvatskome jeziku te se razmatra njihova pripadnost kategoriji unutrašnjih objekata. Uspoređuju se sintaktička i semantička svojstva takvih dopuna: broj imenica koje se pojavljuju uz neprijelazni glagol, obvezatnost modifikacije imenice, paralelnost instrumentalnih i akuzativnih sintagmā, mogućnost parafraze instrumentalnom sintagmom te mogućnost pronominalizacije i pasivizacije. Autorice zaključuju da sve dopune istraživanih neprijelaznih glagola ne pripadaju istomu tipu dopuna te ih je potrebno gramatički i terminološki razdvojiti. Također pretpostavljaju da unutrašnji objekti u hrvatskome mogu imati argumentno i adjunktno čitanje, što je u skladu s nekim nedavno iznesenim tvrdnjama za druge jezike.
Grünlandgesellschaften im Tal der Heinefelder Bäke in der Wildeshauser Geest (Landkreis Oldenburg)
(1999)
Die Grünlandgesellschaften im Tal der Heinefelder Bäke im Naturpark "Wildeshauser Geest" wurden pflanzensoziologisch nach der Methode von Braun-Blanquet untersucht. Die Gesellschaften werden durch Originaltabellen belegt und ihre Standorte charakterisiert. Das Tal besitzt zahlreiche der für vermoorte Geesttälchen typischen und teilweise selten gewordenen Gesellschaftsmosaike des Grünlandes, die sich aus Feuchtwiesen- und weiden, Feuchtbrachen, einschließlich sekundärer Röhrichte und Seggenriede, aber auch Intensivgrünland zusammensetzen. Einen Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bilden die Gesellschaften der Molinio-Arrhenatheretea, die den Wandel der Nutzung der letzten Jahrzehnte widerspiegeln. Floristische Verarmung durch Intensivierung der Nutzung einerseits und kontinuierliche Zunahme von Arten der Brachen nach Nutzungsaufgabe andererseits führen aufgrund fehlender Charakterarten bzw. schlechter floristischer Abgrenzbarkeit zu synsystematischen Problemen. Dafür werden Lösungsmöglichkeiten zur Diskussion gestellt. Für den Naturschutz bedeutend ist besonders der mittlere, von Hangdruckwasser beeinflußte Talabschnitt. Die hier noch verbreiteten Vegetationskomplexe naturnaher Standorte sind aber bereits von Entwässerung und Eutrophierung bedroht.
Bemerkenswerte Pflanzenarten im Emsland (westliches Niedersachsen) werden aufgeführt als Ergänzung zur Flora von Südwest-Niedersachsen und dem benachbarten Westfalen (Weber 1995). Sie wurden vom Autor vor allem 1997 im Zuge verschiedener Kartierungen notiert. 25 Pflanzenarten wurden erstmalig für das Emsland belegt, beispielsweise Amaranthus powellii, Amsinckia menziesii, Poa chaixii, Puccinellia distans und Rumex thyrsiflorus. Zwölf von ihnen scheinen fest eingebürgert zu sein. Fünf einheimische Arten, die als verschollen galten, sind an neuen Wuchsorten wiederentdeckt worden, beispielsweise Anagallis foemina, Helichrysum arenarium und Serratula tinctoria. Alle Pflanzenarten sind dem Viertelquadranten-Raster der Topographischen Karten 1 :25000 zugeordnet.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Begleitflora zu den nicht-marinen Muschelfunden des Piesberges bei Osnabrück, worüber in Band 24 dieser Mitteilungen berichtet wurde, näher untersucht und dargestellt. Die nicht-marinen Muscheln wurden z.T. direkt aus dem Hangenden des Flözes Dreibänke, zum anderen und grössten Teil aus einer nahegelegenen Halde geborgen. Aufgrund des Vorkommens von Neuropteris dussartii Laveine, Sphenopteris coemansii Andrae und Alethopteris davreuxii (Brongniart) Goeppert kann festgestellt werden, dass das Haldenmaterial aus dem untersten Teil des Westfal D stammt.
Der Dichter Paul Celan übersetzte aus sieben Sprachen ins Deutsche, weigerte sich aber zeit seines Lebens seine eigenen Gedichte zu übertragen. Zu der Frage, ob seine Lyrik überhaupt übersetzbar sei, hat er sich zudem meistens sehr skeptisch geäußert. Doch für seine Frau, die französische Künstlerin Gisèle Celan-Lestrange, verfasste er Vokabellisten und Interlinearübersetzungen zu einigen seiner Gedichte. Anhand des Briefwechsels, den die Partner fast 20 Jahre lang führten, soll die Bedeutung des Sprachwechsels im Leben und Werk Celans thematisiert werden. Denn der Wechsel zwischen dem Französischen der Briefe und dem Deutschen der Gedichte, zwischen der Sprache des Exils und der Muttersprache spiegelt zweifellos die Frage nach der individuellen und künstlerischen Identität wider. Die im Briefwechsel enthaltenen französischen Fassungen der Gedichte stellen daher einen absoluten Einzelfall dar. Der Dichter verstand diese Texte nicht als Übertragungen im vollen Sinn des Wortes, trotzdem gewähren sie dem Interpreten einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Werkstatt des Dichters. Die vergleichende Analyse der deutschen und französischen Fassung der Einzeltexte zeigt, wie die Tätigkeit des Dichters und die des Übersetzers Paul Celans zueinander beisteuerten.
Motyxia Chamberlin is comprised of eight species of bioluminescent xystocheirine millipeds in which the gonopodal solenomere arises at different positions, from basally and subbasally on the acropodite to being fused with the companion acropodal branch and detaching proximad or near midlength. Previous synonymies of Amplocheir Chamberlin and LuminodeslnllS Loomis and Davenport under Motyxia are confirmed as is its assignment to the tribe Xystocheirini, which is redefined. Component species are 111. Iwnw Chamberlin, the type species, monica Chamberlin, sequoiae (Loomis and Davenport), tularea (Chamberlin), sequoia (Chamberlin), pior Chamberlin, porrecta Causey and Tiemann, and tiemanni Causey. Motyxia sequoia is comprised oftwo races, the nominate and sequoia alia Causey and Tiemann; sequoia ollae Causey and Tiemann is properly a subspecies of tularea. 1I1otyxiapiorform secea is an invalid name without standing in nomenclature, and M. tejona Chamberlin, and M. expansa and exilis, both by Loomis, are placed in synonymy under M. monica, the oldest name for the southernmost species, as Polydesllws dissectus Wood is referrable to Xystocheir Cook. The bioluminescence is a continuous, neon-white glow of the entire dorsal surface including the antennae and legs. Its visibility at night suggests a warning function analogous to aposematic coloration. The phenomenon may observe a circadian rhythm, and controlled photoperiod experimentation may be productive.
The following changes in nomenclature of some species of Amblyeems Thunberg, 1815, are proposed: A) Elevated to new taxonomic status- A. insuturatus (pic, 1902) from (Spennophagus subflavidus var.insuturatus); A. luteolineatus (pic, 1929) from (Spennophagus luteonotatus var .luteolineatus);A. paulonotatus (pic, 1906) from (Spennophagus luteonotatus var.paulonotatus). B) New synonymy-A. dispar(Sharp, 1885)(=Spermophagus longissimus Pic, 1902; =S. earyoborifonnis Pic, 1910; =S. guyanensis Pic, 1917; S.pieeosuturalis Pic, 1927; =S. earaeasensis Pic, 1954); A. gounellei (pic. 1902)(=S. eurtus Pic, 1911; =S. basipennis Pic, 1936); A. insuturatus (pic, 1902)(=A. woleotti Kingsolver, 1970;A.jatayensis (Pic, 1902)(=S.jatayensis var. bieolorieeps Pic, 1955; =S.jatayensis var. hahnelli Pic, 1955; A. IIwltimaculatus (pic, 1902)( =S. minasensis Pic, 1918); A. perfectus (Sharp, 1885)(=S. maeulatopygus Pic, 1927); A. reticulatus (Jekel, 1855)(=S. rufotestaeeus Pic, 1912);A.luteolineatus (pic, 1929)(=S. multisignatus Pic, 1954). C). Lectotype/s and paralectotype/s are designated for: S. luteonotatus Pic, 1902; S. multimaeulatus Pic, 1902; S. maeulatopygus Pic, 1927; S. subflavidus Pic, 1902; S. trisignatus Sharp, 1885; S.jatayensis Pic, 1902; S. longissimus Pic, 1902; S. earyoborifonnis Pic, 1910; S. dispar Sharp, 1885; S. subflavidusvar. insuturatus Pic, 1902. For all species listed in this paper, we provide a bibliography, label data on type material, sex of types and their repository.
Thirty four species of Zethus are enumerated from Venezuela, providing known and new locality records. Six new species are described: Z. rubioi and Z. vincenti in the subgenus Zethusculus, Z. carpenteri and Z. milleri in the subgenus Zethoides, and Z. bolivarensis and Z. yepezi in the nominate subgenus. A key to the species of Venezuela is provided. The distribution patterns of Zethus are discussed.
Six species of the genus Polyplectropns are recorded from the People's Republic of China. All the species are new to science. A key to the males is given. The larva of Polyplectropns nanjingensis sp. nov. is illustrated. The phylogenetic relationships among these species and with Polyplectropns species of the New World are discussed.
The phylogenetic relationships of the species of Padunielia are analyzed based on characters of larvae, pupae, and adults (mainly male genitalia). The genus is monophyletic and most closely related to Psychomyia, and Metalype in the subfamily Psychomyiinae. Nine species groups are suggested. Eight species, including six new to science, are reported from the People's Republic of China for the first time.
The species of Gigantombra and Angulopis encountered in the Caca ulandia area of central Rondonia, Brazil, are reviewed. These include ten species (all new) of Gigantombra (G. microserrata, G. dl:vergens, G. quadramacula, G. ampla, G. fuscafascia, G. silva, G. rondonia, G. obscura, G. pelplexa, G. pUlpura) and one new species of Angulo pis (A. tenuis). Thecla sangala Hewitson (1868) is recognized as having priority over Theela autoelea Hewitson (1863-1878 [1877]), new synonym. Rondonia continues to appear as a center ofthecline endemism and to provide abundant examples of sibling species diversity.
Twenty-two species of Strymon are known from the vicinity of Cacaulandia in Rondonia, Brazil, of which 14 are new species. These belong to 5 species groups: the "oreala" group [Strymon megarus (Godart)]; the "ziba" group [Strymon ziba (Hewitson), Strymon thulia (Hewitson), Strymon spinatus new species, Strymon latamaculus new species, Strymon pallidulus new species, Stlymon tholus new species]; "valentina" group [Strymon rotundum new species]; "crossoea" group [Strymon crossoea (Hewitson), Strymon crambusa (Hewitson), Stlymon germana new species, Strymon novasignum new species, Strymon clavus new species, Strymon implexus new species, Strymon inmirum new species, Strymon incanus new species, Strymon faunalia (Hewitson), Strymon halos new species, Strymon conspergus new species, Strymon bazochii (Godart), Strymon diagonalis new species]; and "eurytulus" group [Strymon bubastus (Stoll)]. Tentative subgroups of species are suggested for the "crossoea" group as they occur in Rondonia. A neotype is designated for Tmolus basilides and the name synonymized with Strymon megarus. The "basilides" group of Johnson et al. (1990) is renamed the "ziba" group. Based on lectotype designations and superficial and genital differences, S. ziba and S. thu.lia are elevated to specific status.
The sting apparatus and pygidium are described for eight of 20 Lordomyrma species and one of five Mayriella species. The apparatus of L. epinotaiis is distinctly different from that of other Lordomyrma species. Comparisons with other genera suggest affinities of species of Lordomyrma to species of Cyphoidris and Lachnomyrmex, while Mayriella abstinens Forel shares unusual features with those of Proatta butteli.
Pop theoretisch
(2011)
Konzepte, Philosophie und Ästhetik des Pop-Phänomens zwischen Postmoderne, Tradition, Medien und Massenkultur erörtert Christoph Rauen in seiner umfassenden, akribisch recherchierten Studie Pop und Ironie. Popdiskurs und Popliteratur um 1980 und 2000 In den späten 1990er bis in die 2000er Jahre schwemmte eine Flut junger Autoren der sogenannten Popliteratur die Sparten der deutschen Literaturkritik und Feuilletons. Bis auf einige schnell verfasste ambitionierte Studien tat sich die Literaturwissenschaft zunächst schwer, dem Phänomen einen akademisch begründeten Platz in der Forschung einzuräumen. Inzwischen belegt eine Vielzahl fundierter und interessanter Arbeiten, dass es sich auch bei der Popliteratur der letzten 15 Jahre um eine theoretisch ernst zu nehmende und zu begründende Erscheinung der jüngsten Gegenwartsliteratur handelt. Christoph Rauen zeigt in seiner kulturgeschichtlichen und literatursoziologischen Studie Pop und Ironie. Popdiskurs und Popliteratur um 1980 und 2000, auf welche komplexen theoretischen Überlegungen die jüngste Popliteratur gelesen werden kann, indem er das rezeptive Verhältnis der „Neo-Popliteratur“ (Rauen) der späten 1990er und 2000er Jahre zu den Pop- und Ironiekonzepten der 1980er Jahre analysiert.
Erbe ausgeschlagen?
(2011)
Vom 28. bis 30. Januar [2011] lud Günter Grass auch in diesem Jahr wieder ausgewählte Autoren zum Lübecker Literaturtreffen ein, um über dies und das zu debattieren. Mit einer Neuauflage der berühmt berüchtigten Gruppe 47 hat das Treffen nichts zu tun. Aber wofür stehen die Autoren? (...) Neun Autoren sind angereist, so viele wie noch nie; Altbekannte und weniger Bekannte, manche zum ersten, einige bereits zum sechsten Mal: Sherko Fatah, Olga Flor, Eleonora Hummel, Eva Menasse, Norbert Niemann, Knud Romer, Fridolin Schley, Jens Sparschuh und Tilman Spengler.
Der Nobelpreis ist immer ein Politikum. Jedes Jahr auf Neue wird auch spekuliert, welche Gründe jenseits des Werkes des ausgezeichneten Autors noch eine Rolle gespielt haben mögen: Geschlecht, Hautfarbe, Herkunftsland, Kontinent, nicht-literarische Aktivitäten oder was man sonst noch so anführen mag. Man darf solche literaturfernen Gründe für einen Literaturnobelpreis nicht grundsätzlich kritisieren. Wären sie nicht im Spiel, wäre es schwieriger, gegenüber dem dominanten westlichen mainstream die Literaturen aus eher peripheren Kulturkreisen überhaupt hervorzuheben. Und insofern hat der Literaturpreis auch die Funktion, die Aufmerksamkeit der literarischen Weltöffentlichkeit zu lenken. Doch dieses Jahr [2004] landet der Literaturnobelpreis in Österreich und damit auch in einem historischen Zentrum der westlichen Kultur – die Österreicher hören’s gern. Elfriede Jelinek ist eine klassische Autorin, wenn man das so sagen kann. [...] Elfriede Jelinek hat Österreich viel zu verdanken – nämlich ihr Werk. Und jetzt hat auch noch Österreich Elfriede Jelinek den Literaturnobelpreis zu verdanken!
The endomychid beetle genera Anidrytus Gerstaecker and Epopterus Chevrolat have been confused for many years. This paper discusses the similarities and differences of these genera, describes new species, makes some nomenclatural changes, and illustrates the genitalia for many species. New species described: Epopterus picticollis, E. bioculatus, E. confusus, E. gracilis, E. loretensis, E. anomalus, E. aravacus, E. atriventris, E. crypticus, E. quechuanus, E. callerianus, E. flavonotatus, E. submaculatus, E. parvus, Anidrytus nimbiferus, A. parki, A. compactus, A. gibbosus, A. circumcinctus, A. bechyneorum, A. batesi, A. mexicanus, A. trinitatis, A. major, A. humerosus, A. grandis, A. cardiosoma. New synonymies: E. vacuus Gerstaecker (= E. scalaris Gorham); E. decempunctatus Gerstaecker (= E. bifasciatus Pic); E. variegatus Erichson (= E. decoratus Kirsch); A. contractus Gerstaecker (= A. dolosus Gorham); A. helvolus Gerstaecker (= Ephebus ignobilis Gorham); A. parallelus Gerstaecker (= Ephebus depressus Gorham). Changes in nomenclatural status or combination: Epopterus kirshi Strohecker is reduced to a subspecies of E. partitus Gerstaecker; E. angustatus Strohecker is reduced to a subspecies of E. fasciatus (Fabricius); E. fuliginosus Guerin-Meneville is transferred to Anidrytus.
The shape of the facial carina in Altastreplia is discussed. Although taxonomically useful, the protrudent form probably occurs by convergence in different species groups. Two species groups in which the carina is usually produced are revised. The belljamini species group includes: belljamini Lima (from southeastern Brazil), gigantea Stone (from Panama), magna, n. sp. (from Colombia and Venezuela), and superj1ua Stone (from Panama). Host data for this group are limited to only one record of benjamilli from a species of Pouteria (Sapotaceae). The pallidipennis complex, which is included in the pseudoparallela species group, is recognized to include: amnis Stone (from southern Brazil and possibly Trinidad), curitis Stone (from Colombia, Peru, and northern Brazil), pallida, n. sp. (from Panama), pallidipennis Greene (from Colombia and Venezuela), and vele::i, n. sp. (from Colombia). These species breed in fruit of Passij10ra (Passifloraceae) (P. ambigua Hems., ligularis Juss., Idtida H.B.K., quadrallgularis L., and seemannii Griseb.). The relationships of these Anastrepliaspecies are discussed, and diagnoses and ill ustrations are provided to permit their identification. A neotype is designated for A. consobrina (Loew), and the identity of this species is clarified.
The Nearctic members of the genus Oetophorus Foerster are revised. There are four species, 0. pleuralis (Cresson), and 0. obscurus, O. clavatus, and O. maculatus, new species. The name Oetophorus stretchii (Cresson) is placed in synonymy with the name Oetophol'us pleuralis (Cresson). Relationships of the genus with others in the tribe Perilissini and relationships of the species included in the genus are briefly discussed.
The Sclerocoelus galapagensis group is defined and revised, including the description of S. galapagensis new species from the Galapagos Islands; S. caribensis new species from the Caribbean and adjacent areas; S. brasilensis new species from Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama; S. hemorrhoidal is new species from Ecuador and Venezuela; and S. andensis new species from Argentina, Bolivia, and Venezuela. The south Atlantic species Sclerocoelus subbrevipennis (Frey), new combination, is redescribed as a member of the S. galapagensis group, and is considered the sister species to the rest of the species group. A key to species, character matrix, and cladogram are provided.
The subfamily Epiphloeinae is defined to include fourteen genera as follows: Epiphloeus Spinola; Pilosirus, new genus; Plocamocera Spinola; Iontoclerus, new genus; Arenaria, new genus; Ichnea Laporte; Diapromeces, new genus; Pyticeroides Kuwert; Ellipotoma Spinola; J{atamyurus, new genus; Megatrachys, new genus; Madoniella Pic; Hapsidopteris, new genus; and Teutonia, new genus. The following type-species are described: Pilosirus brunoi, new species; Arenaria chiapas, new species; Diapromeces aclydis, new species; Katamyurus paxillus, new species; Megatrachys paniculus, new species; Hapsidopteris diastenus, new species; and Teutonia nova, new species. Elloplium humerale Klug is designated as the typespecies of Iontoclerus. The genus Madolliella is removed from the subfamily Korynetinae andis declared a senior synonym of Phlogistosternus Wolcott. Neiclmea is synonymized with Pyticeroides. This treatise includes a key to the genera of Epiphloeinae, descriptions of the genera and new type-species, and distribution map for each genus.
Six new species ofTrichoptera are described and figured, belonging to the families Goeridae and Leptoceridae. The goerid species are Goera baishanzuensis new species and Goera recta new species. The leptocerid species are Setodes chlorinus new species, Ceraclea (Athripsodina) semicircularis new species, Ceraclea (Athripsodina) brachyclada new species, and Ceraclea (Athripsodina) vaciva new species (Leptoceridae).
Several Coleopterists have been asked to revise the family sections, working from diskettes modified and provided from the original "Beetles of the United States." They will rewrite these sections, and will be recognized as the author of the section. They are asked to sign a writing contract with the publisher. Other Coleopterists have been asked to review the family sections of the new book. These persons are acknowledged in the family section text.
A revision is provided for the Cuban endemic tenebrionid genus Trimytcmtron. Material of Ardoin's five previously described species (Trimytalltron decui, poeyi, cub anum, viiiai and negrai) is compared with the extensive series of the senior author's collection (O.H.G). Eight new species are herein described and illustrated. Also their genitalia are illustrated, as well as some of the previously described species not illustrated by Ardoin in his original descriptions. Material from several eastern localities assigned to T. decui are not exactly identical, showing some variations at subspecific level. Although these variations are mentioned, they are not described. The same situation applies to populations assigned to the new species described from the northern part of Santa Clara (the cave complex of Caguanes). Genitalia of six of the eight new species are herein illustrated as are those of T. decui and T. poeyi . Photographs of the eight new taxa are also provided; as well as a synoptic table of the principal diagnostic characters of all taxa of the genus.
After obtaining fresh material of Opatrillus puertoricellis from Puerto Rico a comparison was done with a large series of O. armasi. This latter taxon had been previously compared with Marcuzzi's original description, mainly based on his illustration of male genitalia from Jamaica reckoned to be O. puertoricensis. Genitalia from O. p. puertoricensis (from Puerto Rico) and O. armasi, proved to be quite alike. Also morphological characters of the two populations are not very distinct, offering differentiations better considered under sub specific rather than specific level. Therefore, we propose considering O. armasi Garrido and Gutierrez, 1994, as a subspecies associated with O. puertoricensis Marcuzzi, 1977. Based on the differences shown in the male genitalia of O. armasi and O. puertoricensis from Puerto Rico and Jamaica, we consider that the animals from Jamaica are different from Puerto Rico's (O. puertoricensis), and therefore constitute an undescribed species different from 0. puertoricensis.
Four new species of Ommatius Wiedemann, the female of O. stramineus Scarbrough, and the male of 0. nigellus Scarbrough from Hispaniola are described. A lectotype for O. gwenae Scarbrough and a neotype for O. cinnamomeus are selected. Notes of previously named species, new records, illustrations of terminalia, and a key to the species are included.
