Published: July 2010

AbstractWithin the context of rising overall awareness of the climate change problem, CO2 capture and storage has risen rapidly on the policy agenda. Some Stakeholders have suggested that technology, cost and legal questions around CCS are all but solved. However, while policymakers embark on the agreement of national, European and international legislation on CCS, a number of challenges arise. This paper reviews the progress of CCS towards a legally embedded mitigation option, and identifies three major conditions for the acceptability of CCS deployment: social acceptance by stakeholders and the lay public, robustness of economic and cost data, and legal and regulatory consistency. Technical maturity and reliability are important crosscutting issues that need to be fully addressed before any of the other areas can be solved. It is concluded that, although legal and regulatory issues are close to being resolved, the role that CCS may play in the global energy system has likely been overestimated in system models, which is partly due to transparency and information problems. In addition, resistance from environmental organisations may have to be reckoned with and social acceptance of CCS remains one of its most prominent unknowns.
Road Planning in Europe - a Case Study (Part II)
Authors: Rubel Riidiger , Silbermann Eva I. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe following text contains the third and last section of the general report on national road planning procedures in the EU which originally was compiled as discussion paper for the 20th colloquium of the Association of the Councils of State and Supreme Administrative Jurisdictions of the European Union.1 The first two sections examined the different administrative and judicial procedures applicable to road planning in the EU Member States. The following last section deals with the influence of EU environmental legislation (Fauna-Flora-Habitat, Bird Protection, Environmental Impact Assessment and Ambient Air Directives) on national planning decisions.
Introduction of a Relativity-related Requirement in Dutch Administrative Law
Authors: Jurgens Gerdy 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFor several years, there has been a discussion on whether it is desirable to introduce a relativity-related requirement in Dutch administrative law. Cases of environmental law and planning law, in particular, are used to suggest that the lack of any kind of protective norm doctrine in Dutch administrative law means that the possibilities for legal protection are sometimes not properly used. This article analyses whether the introduction of some kind of relativity-related requirement is possible in the light of European Community law.
Particulate Matter in Ambient Air
Authors: Görgen Reinhold , Lambrecht Udo 
Published: July 2010

AbstractNumerous studies have demonstrated the negative effect of particulate matter on human health. The EU therefore introduced ambitious limit values for particulate matter (PM10) in ambient air as early as 1999: an annual limit and a daily limit that can be exceeded on up to 35 days a year. These values are binding since 2005. The daily limit is still exceeded in many cities throughout Europe. Heated debates on the future of the daily limit are taking place at all levels of the EU in the context of the negotiations on the Commission's proposal on a new Air Quality Directive. Suggestions range from allowing a compliance time extension to increasing the number of days the daily limit can be exceeded, and abolition of the daily limit value. The deliberations have not yet been concluded, but the decisive European institutions have voiced support for keeping the daily limit while at the same time extending the compliance deadline. In this article, we will make the point that the problem can most probably be solved by allowing a compliance extension of around 5 years after the new directive enters into force. This would give the competent local authorities and the EU the time necessary to intensify their measures in order to comply with the daily limit in most areas where it is currently exceeded. An increase in the number of days the limit values may be exceeded, as called for by the European Parliament (EP), would therefore amount to an unnecessary lowering of the limit value.

Macrosterotrichus bischoffi (Clément) is synonymized with Xylonomus rusticus Desvignes. Xorides (M.) rufipes is recorded as new to Croatia and Bosnia.
Fossil water striders in the Eocene Baltic amber (Hemiptera, Gerromorpha)
Authors: Andersen Nils Møller 
Published: July 2010

AbstractWater striders (Hemiptera, Gerromorpha) live on the surface film of freshwater. Adults are often flightless and therefore not prone to be caught in resin exuded by trees on land and subsequently preserved as amber inclusions. Nevertheless, a small number of gerromorphan bugs have so far been reported from Baltic amber. The present paper reports on eight species of Gerromorpha in the Eocene Baltic amber, describing Electrogerris kotashevichi gen. et sp. n. (Gerridae, Gerrinae), Succineogerris larssoni gen. et sp. n. (Gerridae, Gerrinae), and Balticovelia weitschati gen. et sp. n. (Veliidae, Veliinae) and redescribing Electrovelia baltica Andersen (Veliidae, Veliinae) and Metrocephala anderseni Popov (Hydrometridae, Hydrometrinae) based upon additional and better preserved specimens. Finally, the phylogenetic, palaeobiological, and biogeographic significance of these amber fossils are discussed.

New distribution records are also provided for the following species occurring outside the New Guinea region, based on recent collections in Southeast Asia: Calyptobates samarinda Polhemus & Polhemus from Sumba, and Naboandelus signatus Distant from southern Vietnam. Revised keys are presented for the New Guinea species of Ciliometra, Stygiobates, Iobates and Cryptobates, accompanied by updated distribution maps and illustrations of key characters.
Taxonomic changes in the genera Oosternum Sharp and Paroosternum Scott (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae)
Authors: Hansen Michael 
Published: July 2010

AbstractExamination of the relevant types and other material of species of Oosternum Sharp and Paroosternum Scott has proven it necessary to establish the following taxonomic changes: The genus Pemelus Horn, 1890 is considered a junior synonym of Oosternum Sharp, 1882. Cercyon sorex Sharp, 1874, currently placed in Oosternum, is transferred to Paroosternum. The following new specific synonymies are established (senior synonym given first): Paroosternum degayanum Scott, 1913 = Oosternum ecarinatum Orchymont, 1942; Cercyon sorex Sharp, 1874 [now Paroosternum s.] = Oosternum horni Orchymont, 1914. Oosternum sharpi nom. n. is proposed as a new replacement name for Oosternum costatum Sharp, 1882 nec (Le-Conte, 1855).

Systematics of Cetema Hendel (Diptera: Chloropidae): revision of the Nearctic species and phylogeny and zoogeography of the Holarctic fauna
Authors: Savage Jade , Wheeler Terry A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Holarctic genus Cetema Hendel is revised, with special reference to the Nearctic fauna. There are four Nearctic species: C. elongata Meigen; C. nigripalpis sp. n., C. procera Loew, and C. subvittata Loew. This is the first record of the Palaearctic species C. elongata in the Nearctic region. All Nearctic species are described and illustrated. The Palaearctic species C. paramyopina Collin is synonymized with C. neglecta Tonnoir and a key to all described species of Cetema is provided. A phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of the genus, as well as the monophyly of the subgenera Archecetema Nartshuk and Cetema. The Nearctic species do not form a monophyletic group. Zoogeographic analysis suggests that the genus originated in the eastern Palaearctic and subsequently colonized North America via a Beringian connection, probably in the early to mid-Tertiary. Following speciation in the eastern Nearctic, the more derived lineages of Cetema recolonized the western Palaearctic, probably via a North Atlantic land connection prior to the late Miocene.

Authors: Vikberg Veli , Zinovjev Alexey G. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractEupontania Zinovjev, 1985, originally described as a subgenus of Pontania, is treated as a distinct genus of the subtribe Euurina Vikberg, which consists of the genera Euura Newman, Eupontania Zinovjev (stat. n.), Pontania A. Costa and Phyllocolpa Benson. Separate keys are given to distinguish these genera and the species-groups of Pontania and Phyllocolpa, and for 11 species of the Pontania crassispinu-group. A new species, Pontania rotundidentata sp. n. is described from eastern North America. The lectotypes are designated for P. crassispina (Thomson) and P. joergenseni Enslin. Pontania devincta MacGillivray (syn. n.) is treated as a synonym of P. populi Marlatt.

Larval morphology of the Palaearctic genera Deronectes Sharp and Scarodytes Gozis (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Hydroporinae), with implications for the phylogeny of the Deronectes-group of genera
Authors: Hendrich Lars , Alarie Yves , Nilsson Anders N. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractDescription of larval instars of Deronectes depressicollis Rosenhauer 1856, D. lareynii (Fair-maire 1858), D. latus (Stephens 1829), D. aubei (Mulsant 1843), and Scarodytes halensis (Fabricius 1787) is presented including a detailed chaetotaxic and porotaxic analysis of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal scgment and urogomphi. A phylogenetic analysis of 14 genera of the tribe Hydroporini, based on 22 larval characteristics was conducted with Hennig86. Three of the branches of the strict consensus tree have a statistical support greater than 60% according to the Parsimony Jackknifer. One of the supported clades is Antiporus Sharp + Nebrioporus Régimbart + Neonectes J. Balfour-Browne + Oreodytes Seidlitz + Stictotarsus Zimmermann + Scarodytes Gozis, of which the sister-group is the genus Deronectes Sharp. Consequently larval characters, in contrast to adult characters support the inclusion of Antiporus, Neonectes and Oreodytes in the Deronectes-group of genera. All members of this clade are characterized by: (i) presence of an occipital suture in first instar, (ii) presence of a constriction at level of occipital suture, (iii) absence of maxillary cardo, and (iv) insertion of the primary seta MX I on the maxillary stipes. Scarodytes is postulated to share a monophyletic origin with Nebrioporus, Stictotarsus, and Antiporus based on (i) the presence of natatory setae on femora, tibiae, and tarsi and (ii) the shape of the urogomphomere I which is more than 3.10 times longer than urogomphomere 2.
The new genera Procydrela and Rotundrela, sister taxa for Storenomorphinae and Cydrelinae (Araneae: Zodariidae)
Authors: Jocqué Rudy 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe new genera Procydrela and Rotundrela are described from the Cape region in South Africa. Each genus is represented by two new species, the former by P. procursor (♂,♀) and P rimacola (♂), the second one by R. rotunda (♂,♀) and R. orbiculata (♂,♀). The systematic position of Prncydrela is not entirely clear but it may be regarded as the sister taxon of Cydrelinae and Storenomorphinae combined, whereas Rotundrela belongs in the Cydrelinae and appears to be the sister taxon of the remaining genera in that subfamily. Both genera possess a prolateral abdominal sigillum. The laterally compressed, disk-shaped palpal bulbus of Rotundrela is a unique feature and not found elsewhere in spiders.
Revision of Afromaculepta gen. n., a monophyletic group of Afrotropical galerucine leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Wagner Thomas , Hasenkamp Ruth 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMonolepta frontalis Chevrolat, 1837, a species described from the Cape of Good Hope, shows strong differences in external and genitalic characters from M. bioculata (Fabricius, 1781), type species of Monolepta Chevrolat, 1837. Herein, M. frontalis Chevrolat, 1837 is transferred to Afromaculepta gen. n., and designated as type species. Monolepta octomaculata Jacoby, 1895, and M. decemmaculata Jacoby, 1886 are also transferred to the new genus. Further, four nominal species, Monolepta estcourtiana Jacoby, 1899, M. contaminata Weise, 1914, M. nodieri Laboissière, 1919, and M. senegalensis Bryant, 1948 are newly synonymised with Afromaculepta decemmaculata (Jacoby, 1886). Three new species of Afromaculepta are described: A. klausi sp. n., A namibiae sp. n., and A. ursulae sp. n. This study, based on revision of material from all major collections, includes distribution maps, an identification key, and a phylogenetic analysis.
Phylogenetic systematics of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea): A reappraisal based on larval and adult morphology
Authors: Morrone J.J. , Marvaldi A.E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA cladistic analysis of Curculionoidea based on 100 morphological characters (28 from larvae and 72 from adults) is presented. The 13 terminal taxa correspond to 7 extant families of Curculionoidea of which the largest, Curculionidae, is represented by 7 smaller units. The terminal units are defined by morphological autapomorphies taken from published information on larvae and adults. The chrysomeloid Palophaginae was used as outgroup. The cladogram shows that there is a basal dichotomy in the superfamily, Nemonychidae-Anthribidae being the monophyletic sister taxon to the remaining families, which follow the sequence Belidae, Attelabidae, Caridae, Brentidae, and Curculionidae. The units of Curculionidae are related as follows: Ithycerinae, Microcerinae, Brachycerinae, Ocladiinae, Dryophthorinae, Erirhininae, and 'Curculionidae s.str.'. Important areas where further work should be directed are: the sister group relationship of Nemonychidae and Anthribidae, and the recognition of monophyletic subfamilies within the Curculionidae s.str. as well as the placement of Platypodinae.
Phylogeny of the water strider genus Aquarius Schellenberg (Heteroptera: Gerridae) based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences and morphology
Authors: Andersen Nils Møller , Damgaard Jakob , Sperling Felix A.H. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractWe examined phylogenetic relationships among gerrid water striders of the genus Aquarius Schellenberg using molecular and morphological characters. The molecular data sets included 780 bp sequence data from the mitochondrial gene encoding cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and 515 bp sequence data from the nuclear gene encoding elongation factor I alpha (EF-1α). The morphological data set was a slightly modified version of a previously published data set. We included all 17 known species and one subspecies of Aquarius as well as five species from three related genera, Gigantometra gigas, Limnoporus esakii, L. rufoscutellatus, Gerris pingreensis, and G. lacustris. Unweighted parsimony analyses of the COI data set gave a single most parsimonious tree (MPT) with a topology quite similar to the morphological tree. Parsimony analyses of the EF-1α data set gave 3 MPT's and a strict consensus of these trees gave a tree with a slightly different topology. A combined analysis of the three data sets gave a single MPT with the same topology as for the morphological data set alone. The phylogeny of Aquarius presented here supports the monophyly of the A. najas, remigis, conformis and paludum species groups as well as previous hypotheses about their relationships. On the other hand, the inclusion of molecular data weakens the support for the monophyly of the genus Aquarius, and questions the specific status of the eastern North American A. nebularis (as separate from A. conformis) and members of the Nearctic A. remigis group. Finally, we discuss the implications of the reconstructed phylogeny in the biogeography and ecological phylogenetics of Aquarius.
