Records of Odonata from Kuching and Samarahan, the western administrative divisions of Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo, are presented. Forty-two species are listed from Bako National Park, and eighty-nine species are listed from various other locations. Notable records, not yet publishedin detail elsewhere, include Aciagrion ?fasiculare, Bornargiolestes species, Pericnemis species cf triangularis, Coeliccia new species and Tetrathemis flavescens.
New data on the Odonata fauna of the Kingdom of Tonga is provided following re-search carried out on Tongatapu and 'Eua islands in July 2012. New localities for Tongatapu Island are put on record and previous studies are compared with new pheno-logical data from a period during which field surveys are rarely conducted on Pacific islands. Although Odonata have been collected before from 'Eua Island, the data presented here is the first published so far.
'Eua Island is assessed as a very important venue for further research on Odonata. Overall the Kingdom of Tonga is very depauperate in water resources with lotic biotopes very restricted in area and found on 'Eua Island, and possibly on Tofua and Late islands, which are both volcanic. This study on the Odonata of 'Eua resulted in records of eighttaxa, including with Teinobasis sp. nov., which will be described elsewhere.
Morphological variation in Pseudagrion microcephalum stainbergerorumand Trameatransmarinaare discussed in the context of their subspecific affiliation. Diagnostic features for easier differentiation are proposed for the first of these taxa; the validation of commonly used diagnostic traits is discussed for the second.
Odonata records from Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve and the surrounding area in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia are presented. A total of 44 Odonata species from eight families were collected in the area in October 2012. All of these records are new to Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve. Indothemis carnitica is a new record for Malaysia.
Odonata records of the Samoan Archipelago are updated and an updated checklist provided. It is part of an ongoing assessment of the fauna, taxonomy and distributionof the Pacific island dragonflies. The checklist follows recent reviews published/prepared about the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Fiji and Kingdom of Tonga.
This study draws on recent dragonfly records following general insect surveys spanning 2008-2012 funded by Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) via Conserva-tion International (CI) to the authors and to Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP) and also by funding from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Other unpublished data from Samoan Archipelago and Niue are included as well. All, but one, of the newly collected Odonata species are widespread within the Pacific region. Hemicordulia cupricoloris the only species from the recent collections which is endemic to Samoa, previously reported for Savai'i and Upolu Islands. It has neverbeen confirmed since its original description in 1927. The new study shows the species as an inhabitant of high altitude zones of Savai'i. It is recommended inland areas of Savai'i and other islands within the Samoan Archipelago should be targeted in further field studies.
Records of Odonata from Kubah National Park, near Kuching in west Sarawak, are presented. Eighty-five species are known from the national park. Notable records include Drepanosticta drusilla, Rhinocypha species cf spinifer, Bornagriolestes species, Anaciaeschna species and Macromidia genialis erratica.
Odonata fauna of the Solomon Islands (considered in its political rather than geographical borders) is revised following a recent collecting trip to Guadalcanal Island in April 2012. Some important taxonomic considerations are discussed and a complete literature review is provided for the country with an updated checklist of 64 species that is in accordance with the latest taxonomic studies on the group from that part of the world. The collection reported here was carried out on two and a half effective field days and resulted in a total of 30 taxa. Two of them (Agyrtacantha browni and Gynacantha amphora) are new to science and already described elsewhere and three oth-ers (Lestesconcinnus, Lathrecista asiatica festa and Rhyothemis resplendens) are new to the country. A female of Pseudagrion incisurum is described for the first timeand another female (Rhinocypha liberata) will be described later.

Als Exilfilme im engeren Sinne werden Filme bezeichnet, die in den Jahren 1933 bis 1945 überwiegend von exilierten deutschen Filmschaffenden im jeweiligen Fluchtland produziert wurden, wobei nur in wenigen dieser Exilfilme das Exil selbst zum Gegenstand wird. Anlässlich einer Filmreihe, die die Walter A. Berendsohn Forschungsstelle für deutsche Exilliteratur zusammen mit dem Research Center for Media and Communication (Universität Hamburg) und der Hamburger Kinemathek e.V. veranstaltete, wurde im Januar 2013 eine kleine Auswahl von Exilfilmen (aus Hollywood) im Metropolis Kino gezeigt. [...] Das Heft versammelt mit den Artikeln von Matthias Koch zu "Casablanca" und Sebastian Schirrmeister zu "So Ends Our Night" einige der kontextualisierenden Einführungen, die anlässlich der Filmreihe im Metropolis Kino vor der Vorführung des jeweiligen Films gegeben wurden. Die Beiträge von Andreas Stuhlmann zu "Hitler’s Madman", von Christoph Hesse zu "Professor Mamlock" und von Alexander Zons über den Hollywood-Agenten Paul Kohner sind Ergebnisse eines sich an die Filmreihe anschließenden Workshops. Ziel der Veranstaltung war es, gemeinsam mit den teilnehmenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, mit Mitgliedern der Kinemathek, Studierenden und Filminteressierten Exilfilm und Filmexil als Forschungsfelder zu sondieren, um dann an Filmbeispielen verschiedene Zugänge zum Exilfilm bzw. unterschiedliche Analysekategorien zu erproben.
Im Wintersemester 2012/13 war die Lebensgeschichte des Hamburger Literaturhistorikers und Hochschullehrers Hans Wolffheim Thema der Ausstellung "'Vielleicht sehe ich auch zu tief in die Dinge hinein' Hans Wolffheim (1904-1973) – Hochschullehrer, Literaturkritiker, Autor" (10.11.2012 bis 6.1.2013) in der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Carl von Ossietzky. Die Ausstellung zeichnete die Lebensumstände des aus einer jüdischen Familie stammenden, 1933 gerade noch promovierten Wissenschaftlers nach, seine Arbeitsbedingungen im Dritten Reich und an einer deutschen Nachkriegs-Universität. Von der nationalsozialistischen Gesetzgebung ausgeschlossen konnte Wolffheim seine akademische Karriere erst nach 1945 beginnen. In einzelnen Kapiteln zeigt die Ausstellung Wolffheims Engagement für verdrängte und vergessene Autoren, die bürokratischen Widerstände gegen die Etablierung einer universitären Exilforschung und seine eigenen literarischen Aktivitäten als Lyriker, Literaturkritiker und Essayist. Im Abschreiten dieser Komplexe entwarf die Ausstellung die Kontur eines für die damaligen Verhältnisse ungewöhnlichen Hochschullehrertypus, der wesentlich zum demokratischen Wiederaufbau des Lehrbetriebs an der Universität Hamburg beigetragen hat. Nicht zuletzt wurde Wolffheim als Gründer und erster Leiter der Hamburger Arbeitsstelle für deutsche Exilliteratur, der heutigen Walter A. Berendsohn Forschungsstelle für deutsche Exilliteratur, gewürdigt.
Presented is a checklist of the world Trogidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) including synonyms, geographic distributions, type repositories where known, lists of valid species by genera and subgenera, citations of all papers containing original descriptions, and a supplemental literature section containing works on various other aspects of the family.
