A new species of Neostenoptera (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Winnertziinae) from eastern North America
(2016)
A new species of paedogenetic gall midge, Neostenoptera appalachiensis sp. nov., (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Winnertziinae: Heteropezini) from the eastern United States is described and illustrated, and pertinent collection and biological data are also provided. It is compared to its congeners, N. kiefferi (Meunier), a subfossil described from African copal, and N. congoensis Gagné, from the Congo. This rare, exciting discovery is the first record of the genus Neostenoptera in the New World.
Descriptions or diagnoses are given for 36 species of New World Eremoleon including 12 new species:
Eremoleon attenuatus, E. durangoensis, E. jacumba, E. jamaica, E. inca, E. monagas, E. morazani, E. pygmaeus, E. samne, E. tanya, E. tepuyiensis and E. venezolanus. A neotype is designated for Hesperoleon atomarius Navás 1933.
The larvae of 25 species are described and keyed. Keys to the adults and larvae are given, and biological notes are provided. Twenty-five species were reared from larvae found in cave mouths, rock overhangs, or other less common habitats; for example, E. nigribasis were found in deep recesses of mammal burrows, E. gracile were reared from reptile holes in the ground, E. punctipennis were found in beetle frass beneath logs, and E. femoralis in small twig holes or abandoned termite galleries in termite frass. Many new bombyliid and chalcidid parasites are listed.
The previously published list of Coleoptera holotypes in the Museo de Historia Natural, Noel Kempff Mercado (MNKM), Santa Cruz, Bolivia is updated to include those deposited in the Museo since then though the end of 2015. Literature citations for the original descriptions of each listed holotype are also provided along with summary comments regarding family composition and authorship of included species. Photographs of collector, authors, habitats, and major Bolivian type repositories are provided.

The results of a short collecting trip to Perlis in the northwest
of Peninsular Malaysia are reported. Eighty three species were collected, at least 61 of these are new records for the state, and three species are recorded from Malaysia for the first time: Euphaea
masoni Selys, 1879, Archibasis oscillans (Selys, 1877) and Paracercion calamorum (Ris, 1916). A checklist of the Odonata recorded from Perlis is given in an appendix.

A catalogue of 1290 persons commemorated in the scientific names of extant dragonflies (Odonata) is presented together with brief biographical information for each entry, typically the full name and year of birth and death (in case of a deceased person). For each individual a list is given of all available species, subspecies, genus or subgenus names erected in his or her honour. In total 2021 available names which qualify as eponyms are listed. These comprise 1966 species-group and 55 genus-group names including synonyms and homonyms. It is calculated that of the ca 8550 available species-group names in extant Odonata, ca 23 % are eponyms. Of the 1065 new species-group names introduced between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2015, 435 (40.8 %) are eponyms.
Specimens of Neurothemis disparilis Kirby, 1889, N. fluctuans (Fabricius, 1793), N. fulvia (Drury, 1773), N. ramburii (Brauer, 1866), N. stigmatizans (Fabricius, 1775) and N. terminata Ris, 1911, including their subspecies, were studied with the main focus on the morphology of the vesica spermalis, wing maculation, wing venation, abdominal markings and vulvar scales. The results were compared with species descriptions and directly with type specimens where possible. The vesica spermalis, especially the medial process, is useful at least in separating species groups and supports the traditional differentiation methods using wing maculation and venation. The use of other characters in accessing specific status, coupled with known distribution patterns, is discussed. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Neurothemis manadensis (Boisduval, 1835) stat. nov., Neurothemis papuensis (Lieftinck, 1942) stat. nov. and Neurothemis taiwanensis sp. nov. is described (27.5.1998, Kenting, Pingtung County/Taiwan, L. M. Juang leg.; holotype is deposited at Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipeh, Taiwan). The type of Polyneura palliata Rambur, 1842 was rediscovered at MNHN and designated as lectotype; a lectotype for Neurothemis nicobarica Brauer, 1867 housed at NHMW is designated. The holotype of Neurothemis incerta Brauer, 1867 was rediscovered and synonymized with N. ramburii.
As a result of increased interest in dragonflies and close cooperation between odonatologists on the Balkan Peninsula, the Balkan Odonatological Meeting (BOOM) has been established in 2011. This report presents the results of the field trip during 4th Balkan Odonatological Meeting that was held in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1st to 8th August 2014. With 69 surveyed localities and 496 records of 47 species, this was the most successful BOOM until now. The noteworthy results are records of several nationally rare species: Chalcolestes viridis, Coenagrion scitulum, Erythromma najas and Ceriagrion tenellum, and new populations of Cordulegaster heros, a species mentioned in the Annexes of the EU Habitats Directive. The distribution of Chalcolestes spp. in Bosnia and Herzegovina is also presented and discussed.
In 2014, 56 localities in four provinces of Lesser Himalaya in Pakistan were studied. A total of 28 species have been recorded. A female of the data deficient, threatened species Coeliccia vacca was recorded from Charhaan. The record of Drepanosticta carmichaeli is a new addition to the list of Odonata of Pakistan, and expand the range of this species further to the west. The taxonomical status of Ischnura aurora aurora – considered common in Pakistan, following baseline literature of Fraser (1933) – now turns out to be Ischnura aurora rubilio.
In der Arbeit werden Ergebnisse der fortgeführten Libellenkartierung in den Jahren 2015 und 2016 in drei MoorNaturschutzgebieten ("Zacisze", "Przygiełkowe Moczary" und "Żurawie Bagno") in der Niederschlesischen Heide dargestellt. Insgesamt konnten 41 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Acht Arten wurden neu nachgewiesen, darunter sechs Arten mediterraner Herkunft. Die Beobachtung von Orthetrum albistylum (Selys, 1848) zeigt, dass diese Art bereits die westliche Grenze Polens erreicht hat und eine weitere Expansion nach Ostdeutschland zu erwarten ist. Die Untersuchungen erbrachten keine neuen Funde von Aeshna subarctica Walker, 1908 im Untersuchungsgebiet; somit bleibt der Status dieser Art immer noch unklar. Von den seltenen Arten wurde Leucorrhinia caudalis (Charpentier, 1840) im NSG „Zacisze“ belegt. Es ist die erste Feststellung dieser Art in der Niederschlesichen Heide und soweit die einzige im südlichen Teil der Lubuskie Woiwodschaft; jedoch bleibt der Status noch unbekannt. Die Studie bestätigt, dass die Biodiversität in den Schutzgebieten sehr hoch ist. Die thermophilen Arten tragen zur Erhöhung der lokalen Diversität in den Mooren bei, sind jedoch gleichzeitig regional neue Faunenelemente, die eine starke Veränderung der moorigen Libellengemeinschaft verursachen können. Zur Beobachtung dieser Entwicklung sind weitere systematische Erfassungen in den Gebieten notwendig.
Andaspis recurrens Takagi and Kawai, Hypaspidiotus jordani (Kuwana), Lepidosaphes kamakurensis (Kuwana) and Selenomphalus distylii Takagi from warm temperate forests are newly documented in the Korean fauna of armored scale insects (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). Characteristics of these species are briefl y given and illustrative photographs and information on their distribution and hosts are provided.
The Republic of Panama currently has 300 recorded species of Trichoptera distributed among 14 families. Herein we add 42 new country records for Panama, including one new family (Anomalopsychidae) and three new genera (Anomalopsychidae: Contulma; Hydroptilidae: Byrsopteryx and Cerasmatrichia). The newly recorded caddisfly taxa increase Panama’s total known fauna to 342 species, distributed among 15 families and 50 genera. These results are part of an ongoing effort to characterize the caddisfly fauna of Panama, and to evaluate that country’s major watersheds (cuencas).
New data on Odonata of the Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands are provided following a recently completed Rapid Biodiversity Assessment of the Tetena Haiaja ridge. Two new species, Lieftinckia ulunorum and Procordulia valevahalo are described.
The first is a new member of the Solomon Islands endemic genus while the second is a new genus for the country and the second validated species from the Corduliidae family known from this Pacific archipelago. As L. ulunorum is found to be very closely related to formerly known L. lairdi Lieftinck, 1963, which was also collected during the field trip, both are described in detail based on mature adults and teneral specimens. Comparison with L. salomonis Kimmins, 1957 (investigated only from figures published in the original species description) and Salomoncnemis gerdae Lieftinck, 1987 (also sampled during this study) were provided as well.
Additional morphological data is given on the following species: Teinobasis bradleyi Kimmins, 1957, female is illustrated here for the first time; Anax sp. cf. gibbosulus, second record of the genus for the country and Gynacantha amphora Marinov & Theischinger, 2012, originally described by a single male, here the description of the female is provided.
All other species collected during the field trip will be published separately in the final expedition report.
Chionaspis acer (Takagi and Kawai) and Chionaspis wistariae Cooley, occurring respectively on Acer and Wisteria plants, are newly reported in the Korean fauna of armored scales (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). The characters of these species are briefl y redescribed with illustrative photographs and information on distribution and hosts. A dichotomous key to species of Chionaspis Signoret in Korea is provided for correct species identifi cation.
The island arc of the Lesser Antilles lies at the eastern margin of the Caribbean Sea in the Western Hemisphere, and stretches from the eastern end of the islands of the Greater Antilles (at the Virgin Islands), south to a position near the continental islands of Trinidad and Tobago at the north eastern corner of South America. The islands are a part of the West Indian Islands biodiversity “hotspot” and have been available for terrestrial colonization for about the past 15 million years. This is a status report on present knowledge of the beetle faunas of these islands, which is composed of 90 families, 1210 genera, and 2612 recognized species. Many additional species are not yet identified, or are unnamed, or remain to be discovered. Reported for the first time from the Lesser Antilles are four families, 49 genera, 105 species, and 1253 new island records. The largest families are Curculionidae (588 species), Staphylinidae (389 species), Chrysomelidae (181 species), Tenebrionidae (142 species), Cerambycidae (138 species), Scarabaeidae (127 species), and Carabidae (126 species). There are differing patterns of species distributions: 154 species are probably introduced by human activities; 985 are endemic species (limited to a single island); 465 are species endemic to more than one island of the Lesser Antilles; 212 are species limited to just islands of the West Indies; and 800 are native (naturally occurring) species which also have part of their distributional range in North, Central, or South America. Most of the widely distributed beetle fauna has probably come from South America by over-water dispersal. There is no compelling evidence for a vicariance origin of any part of the beetle fauna. Earlier colonists have had more time to form endemic genera (18) and endemic species. The more widely distributed species probably represent distributions achieved in and since the Pleistocene.
Descriptions and illustrations of the fi fth instar and prepupal larval stages of Stethon pectorosus LeConte, 1866 (Coleoptera: Eucnemidae: Eucneminae: Mesogenini) are provided. These are the fi rst larval descriptions for the genus Stethon LeConte within the subfamily Eucneminae in the Nearctic region. Biological information is provided and comparison with larval morphology of other Eucnemidae is briefl y discussed.

Advancement in science and technology that has been achieved by human beings does not necessarily imply they are freed from environmental problems. Buddhism since the very be-ginning has been in harmony with nature; the Buddha was fond of nature; however, it is very little its sources speak about the interconnection between human and environment. The ques-tion of the significance of cultural ecology comes into prominent in these days as there has been increasing environmental problems happen. Borobudur Buddhist temple in Central Java contains some ideas or elements that can be used to cope with the problems mentioned. Inter-estingly, the whole body of the monument was inspired by the teachings of the Buddha and Buddhism in which the Causal Law having impetus in the theory dependent-origination (Pratyasamutpada) is reflected clearly in the reliefs of Mahakarmavibangga in Kamadhatu base level. For a better understanding of this law, the connection with cosmology in Maha-yana Buddhism is discussed in brief. It is found that there are various natural elements were depicted and crafted by the artists in a high standard of art as the manifestations of the Bud-dha’s teachings. Amongst the natural elements depicted here, tree, plant, or forest are domi-nant elements, which appear almost in all reliefs either in the main walls or balustrade. The relatedness amongst the elements is shown beautifully in complex relationship amongst them, and this has moral, aesthetical, spiritual, and ecological messages that need to be known for spiritual ascendance. When the interaction amongst them should be accomplished it is re-quired an ethical principle as how to maintain harmony with those natural elements, animals and human beings for a better world order and happy life.

Results of an odonatological survey of Mondulkiri Province of Cambodia, at the foothills and Central Plateau of the Annamese Mts. in June 8 – June 17, 2014 are presented. Of 106 Odonata species met (46 zygopterans, 60 anisopterans), 97 were identified to previously known named species, of which 15 are reported for the first time for Cambodia, namely Mnais mneme Ris, 1916, Rhinocypha seducta Hämäläinen et Karube, 2001, Philoganga loringae Fraser, 1927, Rhinagrion hainanense Wilson et Reels, 2001, Amphiallagma parvum (Selys, 1876), Ceriagrion chaoi Asahina, 1967, Paracercion malayanum (Selys, 1876), Prodasineura doisuthepensis Hoess, 2007, Protosticta grandis Asahina, 1985, Tetracanthagyna waterhousei McLachlan, 1898, Gomphidia kruegeri Martin, 1904, Heliogomphus chaoi Karube, 2004, Leptogomphus baolocensis Karube, 2001, Microgomphus jurzitzai Karube, 2000, Onychothemis culminicola Förster, 1904, and two species for which the specimens collected on this trip were described as new subspecies: Indolestes gracilis expressior Kosterin, 2015, Coeliccia poungyi dasha Kosterin, 2016. Five species collected on this trip have been described elsewhere as new to science, namely Onychargia priydak Kosterin, 2015, Prodasineura hoffmanni Kosterin, 2015, Asiagomphus reinhardti Kosterin et Yokoi, 2016, Euthygomphus schorri Kosterin, 2016 and Risiophlebia guentheri Kosterin, 2015. So the total number of the first country records of named species made on this trip is 22. Still four species found may be undescribed. The number of named species recorded in Cambodia has reached 178. Remarks on taxonomy and variation of Euphaea masoni Selys, 1879, E. ochracea Selys, 1859, Aciagrion approximans (Selys, 1876), and Lamelligomphus castor Lieftinck, 1941 are provided. Characters of mature males of R. seducta are updated. Notes on habitats and habits of some species are provided. Onychothemis culminicola and O. testacea Laidlaw, 1902 seem to exclude each other at rivers, the former occupying smaller and more elevated ones; a putative hybrid male was observed. General notes on the area and field impressions are briefly outlined.
National Model United Nations New York 2017 : Delegation der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main
(2016)
Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1945 sind die Vereinten Nationen zur bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten internationalen Organisation avanciert. Mittlerweile arbeiten 193 Mitgliedsstaaten gemeinsam an dem ehrgeizigen Ziel, den Weltfrieden und die internationale Sicherheit zu wahren. Der in der Charta der Vereinten Nationen verankerte Grundsatz des Verzichts auf Gewaltanwendung und der friedlichen Beilegung aller Streitigkeiten macht sie zu einer weltweit einzigartigen Institution.
Die Beschäftigung mit den Vereinten Nationen ist für Studierende der Gesellschaftswissenschaften – insbesondere der Politikwissenschaft – essentiell für den späteren Berufsalltag. Da der Fokus im wissenschaftlichen Universitätsbetrieb häufig auf der Diskussion theoretischer Paradigmen und eher selten auf praktischen Fragestellungen liegt, ist die Teilnahme am National Model United Nations (NMUN) in New York eine willkommene Abwechslung mit einzigartigem Charakter. Innerhalb einer Simulation von UN-Verhandlungen versetzen sich Studierende als Mitglieder einer Delegation in die Lage von Diplomaten und vertreten die Interessen, Werte und Positionen des ihnen zugeteilten Landes. Dabei versuchen sie, dessen Standpunkte in Kooperation mit anderen Delegationen durchzusetzen. ...
Germany has experienced a rise in xenophobic attacks since it began to welcome refugees from Syria and elsewhere. Sebastian Jäckle and Pascal D. König have mapped these attacks and drawn some striking conclusions about their causes. They were more common in regions with a strong far-right presence and fewer migrants. One attack also tended to spark others – as did condemnation of xenophobia by national leaders, and Islamist terror. Britain saw a similar spike in xenophobic crime after the referendum. The authors ask whether the UK can learn from Germany’s painful experience.

Colloquium Helveticum 45 : Poetik und Rhetorik des Barbarischen = Poétique et rhétorique du barbare
(2016)
'Poetik und Rhetorik des Barbarischen' / 'Poétique et rhétorique du barbare' lautete das Thema der Jahrestagung der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, die im Oktober 2014 an der Universität Genf stattfand. Angeregt worden war diese Themenwahl durch das seit 2013 vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds geförderte Forschungsprojekt "Barbarism": History of a Fundamental European Concept and Its Literary Manifestations from the 18th Century to the Present. Das eigentliche Motiv für die Wahl des Themas war aber dessen wissenschaftliche, kulturelle und vor allem auch politische Aktualität. Diese wird verständlich, wenn man bedenkt, dass der Begriff des Barbarischen seit seinen Ursprüngen im antiken Griechenland für die Begründung europäischer und 'okzidentaler' Identität von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Als "Barbaren" gelten immer diejenigen, die man aus dem eigenen kulturellen Raum und Selbstverständnis auszugrenzen sucht, indem man sie als grausam, frevlerisch, ungebildet, unmenschlich und unzivilisiert diskriminiert – seien das nun Perser im Gegensatz zu Griechen, Germanen im Gegensatz zu Römern, Heiden (insbesondere Muslime) im Gegensatz zu Christen, zivilisierte Europäer im Gegensatz zu wilden Indigenen oder freie, humane Westmächte im Gegensatz zu 'orientalischen' islamistischen Terrororganisationen. Die semantische Struktur des Barbarenbegriffs und das den Begriff vertretende Lexem bleiben, wie diese Aufzählung verdeutlicht, über Jahrtausende unverändert (auch dann, wenn der Barbar zu einer Sehnsuchtsfigur wird, die Befreiung aus einer beengenden oder dekadenten Zivilisation verspricht); die Referenzobjekte des Begriffs variieren hingegen. Der Begriff des Barbarischen ist also, wie Arno Borst schon Anfang der siebziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts feststellt, seit den griechischen Anfängen der abendländischen Kultur ein "europäisches Schlüsselwort", "das andere Menschen schlagen und verletzen will". An der Geschichte dieses "Schlagworts" lasse sich ablesen, warum "die geschichtliche Vielfalt Europas bis heute soviel Unrast und Leid über die Menschen gebracht hat".
An updated classification of Polyalthia in Peninsular Malaysia is presented. A synopsis (listing of species with synonymy and typification, and keys to species) is presented for the genera Huberantha, Maasia, Monoon and Polyalthia sensu stricto. One new species (Polyalthia pakdin I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov.) is described and a conservation assessment presented for it. Monoon xanthopetalum Merr. represents a new record for Peninsular Malaysia. Six new lectotypes are designated.
A new troglobitic species of the previously monotypic genus Biokoviella Mršić, 1992, B. mosorensis Antić & Dražina sp. nov., is described from caves on Mt. Mosor, Croatia. In addition to this, B. mauriesi Mršić, 1992, is partially re-described, and the taxonomic status of the family Biokoviellidae is re-considered. The genus Biokoviella is placed in the subfamily Biokoviellinae Mršić, 1992 stat. nov. within the family Anthogonidae Ribaut, 1913. The relationship of the genus Biokoviella with other anthogonids is briefly discussed, and a distribution map of the genus is presented. Notes on ecology and coinhabitants of the genus Biokoviella, and new data on some Balkan anthogonids are also included in the paper.
Durch den unbeirrbaren Blick in Roberto Bolaños Roman "2666" auf eine Serie von horrenden Gewaltverbrechen soll die komplexe Struktur einer transnationalen, spätkapitalistischen Wirklichkeit ans Licht gebracht werden, die sich einer rein gegenständlichen Anschauung entzieht und bestenfalls in Metaphern von Kreisläufen, Transaktionen und Kapitalflüssen vorstellbar ist. Die realistische Leistung besteht nun darin, dass eine Schicht dieser sozio-ökonomischen Wirklichkeit, die in beinahe sofortige Vergessenheit zu fallen droht, den Leser_innen immer wieder aufs Neue interessant gemacht wird - und zwar allein durch ihre minimal variierte Wiederholung.
Aktualität und Relevanz realistischer Schreibverfahren in der Gegenwartsliteratur anhand einer Dorfgeschichte zu veranschaulichen, klingt erst einmal nicht nach einer guten Idee. Gerade die Dorfgeschichten haben der realistischen Prosa des 19. Jahrhunderts den Ruf eingetragen, altbacken, naiv und kitschig zu sein. Schauplatz der Handlungen ist üblicherweise ein bäuerlich-dörfliches Milieu, das detailreich und mit Rückgriff auf Oppositionspaare wie gut vs. böse beschrieben wird. Als formprägend gelten die heute kaum noch bekannten "Schwarzwälder Dorfgeschichten" Berthold Auerbachs (1843 ff.). Aber die Literaturwissenschaft hat gerade dieses Thema jüngst neu für sich entdeckt.
Realismus revisited
(2016)
Während sich unsere Wirklichkeit medial, technologisch und politisch rasant wandelt, macht Realismus wieder von sich reden. In der Philosophie liest man vom spekulativen oder neuen Realismus, Politiker werben um mehr Realismus, in den Sozialwissenschaften beginnt man am Primat des Konstruktivismus zu zweifeln, und auch in der Literatur hat Realismus Konjunktur. Das Semesterthema des ZfL widmet sich der Rückkehr des Realismus und seinen unterschiedlichen Manifestationen. Dabei geht es uns nicht nur um Sichtung und Analyse der aktuellen Realismus-Diskurse, sondern auch um ihre mehr oder weniger latenten Vorgeschichten. In ihnen spielt der künstlerische Realismus seit langem eine besondere Rolle.

Endogeophilus ichnusae gen. et sp. nov. (Chilopoda: Geophilidae sensu stricto) is described based on three specimens from two localities in south-western Sardinia, examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. The new centipede resembles the rare Ibero-Pyrenean genus Galliophilus Ribaut & Brolemann, 1927 in some features, especially in the forcipular segment, and the temperate European species Geophilus electricus (Linnaeus, 1758) in other features, especially in the ultimate leg-bearing segment. However, the true affinities of E. ichnusae gen. et sp. nov. are uncertain, because the new species departs significantly from the majority of geophilids for the higher number of legs (91–107 pairs in the specimens examined), the slender trunk segments (the sternites being longer than wide), the relatively stout legs (the tarsus being only about twice as long as wide) and the very short setae (≤ 15 mm) scattered on the body surface. All these features are probably derived and suggest adaptation to a more strictly endogeic habit than other geophilids.
One new genus and five new species of land snails are described from high altitude, insular, Afrotemperate forest habitats in northern South Africa. The distribution of these species is discussed in relation to other narrowly endemic land snails occurring in this and neighbouring regions. The new genus is Ptilototheca gen. nov.; the five new species are: Gulella davisae sp. nov., G. hadroglossa sp. nov., Ptilototheca soutpansbergensis gen. et sp. nov., Sheldonia monsmaripi sp. nov. and S. wolkbergensis sp. nov.
The genus Profundiconus Kuroda, 1956 is reviewed. The morphological characters of the shell, radular tooth and internal anatomy of species in Profundiconus are discussed. In particular, we studied Profundiconus material collected by dredging in deep water during different scientific campaigns carried out in the Solomon Islands, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. We reconstructed a phylogeny of 55 individuals based on partial mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences. The phylogeny shows several clades containing individuals that do not match any of the known species of Profundiconus based on their shell and radular morphologies, and are introduced here as five new species: Profundiconus maribelae sp. nov. from the Solomon Islands; P. virginiae sp. nov. from Chesterfield Plateau (New Caledonia); P. barazeri sp. nov. from Chesterfield Plateau and the Grand Passage area (New Caledonia); P. puillandrei sp. nov. from Norfolk Ridge (New Caledonia), Kermadec Ridge (New Zealand) and possibly Balut Island (Philippines); and P. neocaledonicus sp. nov. from New Caledonia. Furthermore, Profundiconus teramachii forma neotorquatus (da Motta, 1984) is raised to specific status as P. neotorquatus (da Motta, 1984).
Der Animationsfilm ist ein von Grund auf synthetisches Medium: Alle visuellen Aspekte – und das wird besonders am Zeichentrickfilm deutlich – müssen zunächst künstlich erzeugt werden. Es müssen Serien syntagmatisch kohärenter Bewegungsphasenbilder hergestellt werden, ehe diese durch einzelbildweise Abfotografierung auf den Filmstreifen gebracht werden können, von wo aus sie sich dann unter geeigneten Vorführbedingungen als konsistenter, flüssiger Bewegungsablauf auf die Leinwand projizieren lassen. Was für den Bildbereich gilt, ist im Tonbereich grundsätzlich nicht anders. Auch die akustischen Komponenten eines Animationsfilms müssen zunächst künstlich hergestellt werden, bevor sie mit dem Bildmaterial zusammenkopiert werden können. Gespräche müssen bildsynchron eingesprochen, Geräusche erzeugt und Musik eingespielt werden, ehe sich der Animationsfilm als das audiovisuelle Medium konstituiert, als das man ihn seit den 1930er Jahren kennt.
In the present study, a total of 153 species of Alysiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Denmark are catalogued. Two species are described as new for science: Aspilota leptoarticulata Munk & Peris-Felipo sp. nov. and A. grandis Munk & Peris-Felipo sp. nov. Additionally, 38 alysiine species are recorded for the first time for the Danish fauna. A faunistic list with distribution data and host records is provided.
