We treat 50 species of Pseudococcus Westwood (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) found in Central and South America. Sixteen new species are described and illustrated: Pseudococcus acaena Granara de Willink n. sp., P. bahiensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. calchaquii Granara de Willink n. sp., P. chaquensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. colombiensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. cubaensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. cuyoensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. debilis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. dumetum Granara de Willink n. sp., P. insuetus Granara de Willink n. sp., P. lanatii Granara de Willink, n. sp., P. neuquenensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. occultus Granara de Willink n. sp., P. panamaensis Granara de Willink n. sp., P. salazari Granara de Willink n. sp. and P. scatoterrae Granara de Willink n. sp. The new species are distributed in Argentina (9 spp.), Colombia (3 spp.), Brazil (2), Uruguay (2), Cuba (1), Panama (1) and Peru (1). Diagnostic characters and illustrations of 34 additional species are provided: Pseudococcus agavis McGregor, P. apomicrocirculus Gimpel and Miller, P. calceolariae (Maskell), P. comstocki (Kuwana), P. cribata González, P. cryptus Hempel, P. donrileyi Gimpel and Miller, P. elisae Borchsenius, P. eriocereus Williams, P. espeletiae Williams and Granara de Willink, P. galapagoensis Morrison, P. importatus McKenzie, P. insularis Morrison, P. jackbeardsleyi Gimpel and Miller, P. landoi (Balachowsky), P. longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti), P. mandio Williams, P. maritimus (Ehrhorn), P. meridionalis Prado, P. microcirculus McKenzie, P. nakaharai Gimpel and Miller, P. neomicrocirculus Gimpel and Miller, P. odermatti Miller and Williams, P. pabulum Granara de Willink, P. peregrinabundus Borchsenius, P. puertoricensis Gimpel and Miller, P. rosangelae Pacheco da Silva and Kaydan, P. saccharicola Takahashi, P. schusteri Gimpel and Miller, P. spanocera Gimpel and Miller, P. sociabilis Hambleton, P. solenedyos Gimpel and Miller, P. sorghiellus (Forbes) and P. viburni (Signoret). Five species from Argentina, two species from Jamaica and one species from Suriname are cited for the first time. Sixty-three figures, corresponding to the known species, their variations and new species cited for the region are included. A list of host plants containing 77 plant families and 355 species is included. An updated list of host plants and the distribution of some species of the genus is provided.
Rare copy-number variation (CNV) is an important source of risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). We analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in affected versus control groups (1.41-fold, p = 1.0 × 10(-5)) and an increase in affected subjects carrying exonic pathogenic CNVs overlapping known loci associated with dominant or X-linked ASD and intellectual disability (odds ratio = 12.62, p = 2.7 × 10(-15), ∼3% of ASD subjects). Pathogenic CNVs, often showing variable expressivity, included rare de novo and inherited events at 36 loci, implicating ASD-associated genes (CHD2, HDAC4, and GDI1) previously linked to other neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as other genes such as SETD5, MIR137, and HDAC9. Consistent with hypothesized gender-specific modulators, females with ASD were more likely to have highly penetrant CNVs (p = 0.017) and were also overrepresented among subjects with fragile X syndrome protein targets (p = 0.02). Genes affected by de novo CNVs and/or loss-of-function single-nucleotide variants converged on networks related to neuronal signaling and development, synapse function, and chromatin regulation.
The results from the STAR Collaboration on directed flow (v1), elliptic flow (v2), and the fourth harmonic (v4) in the anisotropic azimuthal distribution of particles from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN]=200GeV are summarized and compared with results from other experiments and theoretical models. Results for identified particles are presented and fit with a blast-wave model. Different anisotropic flow analysis methods are compared and nonflow effects are extracted from the data. For v2, scaling with the number of constituent quarks and parton coalescence are discussed. For v4, scaling with v22 and quark coalescence are discussed.
