The milliped order Callipodida in western North America (Schizopetalidae: Tynommatinae), and a summary of the New World fauna
Authors: Shelley Rowland M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIn western North America, the milliped order Callipodida is represented by the Colactidini, Tynommatini stat. n., and Diactidini tribus n., in the subfamily Tynommatinae, family Schizopetalidae; a coordinate tribe, the Texophonini, occurs on the Gulf Coast of south Texas. The Tynommatini consists of two genera and four species: Tynomma mutans (Chamberlin), T. magnum Buckett & Gardner, and T. gardneri sp. n., occurring around Monterey and San Pablo/San Francisco Bays, California, and Idrionaria dineh gen. n. & sp. n., in Washington County, Utah. The Colactidini ranges from Durango, Mexico, to central Utah and California east of the Sierra Nevada, with disjunct areas in southern California and Baja California, the latter extending northward to metropolitan San Diego. It is represented by two genera and 6 species: Colactis Loomis: C. tiburona (Chamberlin), utorum (Chamberlin), and protenta and quadrata, both by Loomis; and Heptium Loomis: H. carinellum and scamillatum, both by Loomis. The Diactidini, occupying coastal southern California and the adjacent fringe of Baja California, is comprised of three genera and 10 species: Diactis Loomis: D. soleata, triangula, and frondifera, all by Loomis, and amniscela, cupola, jacinto, procera, and strumella, all spp. n.; Florea sinuata gen. n. & sp. n.; and Caliactis bistolata gen. n. & sp. n. The following new synonymies are proposed: C. yuma Chamberlin, sideralis Loomis, and loomisi Hoffman under C. tiburona; C. briggsi Shear and saxetana and baboquivari, both by Loomis, under C. utorum; H. canum Chamberlin under H. carinellum; and Etiron paroicum and pearcei, both by Chamberlin, under D. triangula and T. mutans, respectively. The eastern Nearctic callipodid fauna is summarized and significant new localities are reported; Tetracion antraeum Hoffman, stat. n., is elevated from a subspecies of T. jonesi Hoffman.
Revision of the megerlei-group of the cockroach genus Phyllodromica Fieber (Blattaria: Blattellidae, Ectobiinae)
Authors: Vidlicka LUBOMÍR , Majzlan Oto 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe species of the megerlei-group are characterised by shortened wings with typical scattered dark spots and large simple glands on tergite 7 without inner structures. Two of the species are widely distributed from south-eastern Germany to Romania and Ukraine (P. megerlei Fieber) or from Turkey to Syria (P. asiatica Bey-Bienko), the third is endemic for eastern Bulgaria (P. pulcherrima sp. n.). The characteristics of the megerlei-group are described and the relationships with the tyrrhenica-group are discussed.
The Dolichopodidae (Diptera) of the Galapagos Islands, with notes on the New World fauna
Authors: Sinclair Bradley J. , Bickel Daniel J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Dolichopodidae (Diptera) of the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador) are reviewed. The fauna comprises 17 species, which are described, illustrated, and keyed. Further, relevant New World taxa are discussed, with information on diagnostic characters, species groupings and new synonyms. Nine species are newly described: Amblypsilopus depilis, Medetera galapagensis, Paraclius desenderi, Chrysotus baerti, Asyndetus wigginsi, A. maelfaiti, A. cavagnaroi, A. mystacinus, and A. bursericola. The following synonyms are newly established: Condylostylus longicornis (Fabricius) (=C. detitaticauda Van Duzee), Chrysotus brevicornis Van Duzee (= C. brevispina Van Duzee, = C. latifacies Van Duzee, = C. mexicanus Robinson), and Asyndetus tibialis (Thomson) (= A. ridiculus Parent). The ecology and origin of the Galápagos Dolichopodidae are discussed, and the fauna is regarded as an extension of the New World mainland coastal and littoral fauna. New distributional records from North and South America are included, and the systematic relationships of Galápagos species are discussed.
Australian Nepticulidae (Lepidoptera): redescription of the named species
Authors: Johansson Roland , Hoare Robert J.B. , Nielsen Ebbe S. , Van Nieukerken Erik J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe named Australian species of Nepticulidae are redescribed and illustrated. The genitalia of all but one species are described and illustrated, in most cases for the first time. Of the 16 species treated, 13 belong to the probably endemic genus Pectinivalva Scoble: P. caenodora (Meyrick), P. chalcitis (Meyrick), P. commoni Scoble, P. endocapna (Meyrick), P. gilva (Meyrick), P. melanotis (Meyrick), P. anazona (Meyrick), P. funeralis (Meyrick), P. libera (Meyrick), P. planetis (Meyrick), P. primigena (Meyrick), P. trepida (Meyrick) and P warburtonensis (Wilson). The remaining three are referable to the worldwide genus Stigmella Schrank: S. leucargyra (Meyrick), S. phyllanthina (Meyrick) and S. symmora (Meyrick). Pectinivalva is provisionally split into two informal species groups (the 'commoni' group and the 'funeralis' group), and a diagnosis is provided for these. Brief details of biology are given where known.
A taxonomic revision of the hoeneella species-group of the genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg (Lepidoptera: Adelidae)
Authors: Hirowatari Toshiya , Kozlov Mikhail V. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA group of very similar greyish to ochreous brown species of Nemophora Hoffmannsegg with raised scales on frons, narrow pale forewing fascia and epiphysis absent, is revised. Four species of this group, all distributed in South-Eastern Asia, are recognized: N. aritai sp. n. from Taiwan, N. marisella sp. n. from Amami Is., Japan, N. hoeneella (Caradja & Meyrick) comb. n. from continental China, and N. issikii sp. n. from Taiwan. The type series of N. hoeneella is discussed. The monophyly of the species-group is demonstrated and the tentative relationships of its species are discussed. A key to species based on external characters and male gcnitalia is provided; adults and male genitalia are described and illustrated.
On the morphology of the gnathos in the Pyraloidea (Lepidoptera)
Authors: Maes K.V.N. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe homologous use of the term gnathos according to Klots is analysed in the Pyraloidea. A structure of tegumental origin erroneously believed to be the gnathos by various authors in the Crambidae, here named the pseudognathos, is described. The occurrence of these structures in the different subfamilies of Pyralidae and Crambidae is discussed.
Michaelshaffera gen. n. - a pyraloid taxon lacking an abdominal tympanal organ (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Authors: Solis M. Alma 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMichaelshaffera gen. n. is comprised of two species, M. maidoa (Schaus), new combination, the type species, described from French Guiana, and a new species, M. beckeri, here described from South America. The assignment of taxa to the Pyraloidea is based primarily on characters of the tympanal organs and immature stages. Michaelshaffera lacks a tympanal organ and the immatures are unknown. The rationale for the placement of this genus in the Pyraloidea and lower hierarchical ranks is discussed based on other morphological characters.
A review of the Phycitinae of the Galápagos Islands (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Authors: Neunzig H.H. , Landry Bernard 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBased on the examination of more than 800 specimens of Phycitinae (Pyralidae) from the Galápagos Archipelago, 12 species are recognized. The new genus Shafferiessa is described to accommodate the two species: S. galapagoensis sp. n. and S. pumila sp. n. Macrorrhinia pinta sp. n. is also added to the number of endemic phycitines. New food plant records are provided for two species. Fundella agapella Schaus, 1923, is treated as a junior synonym of Fundella argentina Dyar, 1919.
A review of the Palaearctic blackfly subgenus Simulium (Rubzovia) with the emphasis on S. (R.) paraloutetense, a species confined to Gran Canaria Island (Diptera: Simuliidae)
Authors: Nilsson A.N. , Crosskey R.W. , Malmqvist B. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe larval and pupal stages of Simulium (Rubzovia) paraloutetense Crosskey are described following their first discovery in a spring trickle in Gran Canaria Island where the species is endemic; data from the polytene chromosomes of the larval silk glands are included. Subgeneric placement of the species is revised in light of all the findings. A diagnosis for the subgenus Rubzovia, a discussion of its geographical distribution and habitat, and a key to the four known species are included.
A larval brush-footed butterfly (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in Dominican amber, with a summary of fossil Nymphalidae
Authors: Poinar George , Hammond Paul C. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe first fossil member of the family Nymphalidae (Lepidoptera) in Dominican amber and the first fossil nymphalid caterpillar is placed near the genus Smyrna of the tribe Coloburini (Nymphalinae) on the basis of the morphology, position and arrangement of its spines. The larva is regarded as prototypic ancestor near the Pycina-Vanessa lineage and its closest descendants probably occur in Central and South America, thus illustrating yet another case of disjunct distribution in the Dominican amber fauna. This represents the second family of butterflies reported from Dominican amber (previously only the Riodinidae). A summary of the confirmed cases of fossil Nymphalidae is presented.
Palaearctic occurrence of the genus Synophromorpha (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) confirmed on the basis of a new species from Japan
Authors: Abe Yoshihisa 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSynophromorpha Ashmead is a genus of cynipid inquilines associated with Diastrophus galls on Rubus bushes. All described species, except S. tobiasi which doubtfully belongs to the genus, are restricted to the Nearctic Region. Synophromorpha taketanii sp. n., a fifth species of this genus, is described from Japan. This is the first reliable record of the genus from the Palaearctic Region and reveals that Synophromorpha has a disjunct distribution. Adults of S. taketanii emerged from stem galls on Rubus palmatus. Study of Periclistus natalis and P. quinlani showed that Synophromorpha and Periclistus intergrade. It is considered preferable to retain these two as separate genera on the basis of their host associations.
Review of the genus Hypocera Lioy (Diptera: Phoridae)
Authors: Buck Matthias , Brown Brian V. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe species of Hypocera are reviewed and their identities more completely defined. H. flavipennis (Enderlein) is synonymized with H. rectangulata Malloch (syn. n.). New characters are given to aid recognition of males of the closely similar Nearctic Region species H. americana Borgmeier and H. ehrmanni Aldrich. Life history observations and first larval descriptions are given for H. mordellaria (Fallén), which is a scavenger on dead insects. A phylogenetic analysis and a key to species are provided.
The Methiini of the West Indies (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) with notes on the circum-Caribbean species
Authors: Keith Philips T. , Ivie Michael A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Methiini of the West Indies are revised. Cyanomethia pseudothonalmus, new genus, new species and Methia jamaicensis new species are described. Methia pusilla, M. constricticollis, M. impressicollis, M. insularum, M. pallida, M. pulchra, M. punctata, and M. rhizophorae are new synonyms of M. necydalea. Keys to genera of Methiini and species of Methia in the West Indies are given and the biology and morphological variation of the genus Methia discussed. A phylogenetic analysis of the Methiini is conducted to determine relationships among the genera, and the zoogeographic patterns of species found in the West Indies is included.
Larvae of Entiminae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): tribal diagnoses and phylogenetic key, with a proposal about natural groups within Entimini
Authors: Marvaldi Adriana E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe larvae of tribes of the broad-nosed weevil subfamily Entiminae (Pachyrhynchini, Ectemnorhinini, Alophini, Sitonini, and Entimini) are keyed and diagnosed on the basis of phylogenetically important characters. The Entimini are grouped in three informal but possibly natural subsets (A, B, and C). Correspondence between these larval groups and traditional adult arrangements is discussed on the basis of a cladistic analysis. Illustrations of larval diagnostic features in Entimini and a cladogram are provided.
Pedrowygomyia, a new Neotropical genus of Prosimuliini (Diptera: Simuliidae): Gigantodax s. lat. split into two genera
Authors: Miranda-Esquivel Daniel Rafael , Coscarón Sixto 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA cladistic analysis of the species groups recognized in Gigantodax Enderlein, using morphological characters, shows that Gigantodax s. lat. is paraphyletic. From a phylogenetic standing Gigantodax must be split into two monophyletic entities: Gigantodax s. str. and the G. cortesi species group. The new genus Pedrowygomyia is proposed for the G. cortesi species group. It presently contains four species, P. cortesi, P. jatunchuspi, P. punapi and P. chacabamba (all new combinations).

Authors: Yoshizawa Kazunori 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA new genus, Atrichadenotecnum, is described in the tribe Psocini of the family Psocidae (Psocoptera). Atrichadenotecnum ryukyuense sp. n., A. tayal sp. n., and A. quadripunctatum sp. n. are described and Atrichadenotecnum nudum (Thornton, 1961) comb. n. and Atrichadenotecnum quinquepunctatum (McLachlan, 1872) comb. n. are transferred from the genus Trichadenotecnum Enderlein. The new genus is regarded as the sister-group of the genus Psocus Latreille.
Towards Modern Music in Romania
Authors: Sandu-Dediu Valentina 
Published: July 2010

AbstractToo little known in the West, modern Romanian scores are being gradually discovered nowadays, beginning with those of George Enescu. For decades underestimated as a creator, Enescu has been re-evaluated and recently recognized as an original and authentic representative of an Eastern European music school, comparable with JanáČek or Szymanowski. The Romanian music of the past fifty years, due to the political and ideological situation of Romania, similar to other countries of the ex-communist Eastern European bloc, has been isolated geographically but not aesthetically. The great diversity of modern or avant-garde trends in Western European and North American music is also present in the output of Romanian composers of the same period, combined in various degrees with autochthonous nuances. Originating primarily in the two major oral traditions, namely peasant folk music and religious Byzantine music, these have compelled Romanian composers to find their own musical language. However, Romanian composers coming of age in the second half of the 20th century took their first steps on a well-established territory, from the standpoint of composition, style, and aesthetics. A solid school of music - built on structural foundations that gave it a distinct language - had already been established in Romania in the first half of the 20th century. Therefore, the following essay is a chronological outline of the historical development of Romanian composition, a process governed primarily by the tension between national elements and global trends.
Urban Self-Identification in East Central Europe Before the Great War: the Case of Cracow
Authors: Wood Nathaniel D. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAbstract: This article explores the development of urban and interurban identities in fln-de-siècle East Central Europe as alternative sources of identity that do not fit simply within standard national-historical narratives. The author focuses on Cracow as an example of this trend. Analyzing three popular illustrated newspapers from the city, he argues that thanks to popular press representations of the big city at home and abroad, as well as the experience of urban life itself, Cracovians began to develop distinct urban and interurban identities. The mass circulation press was a major vehicle in fostering and developing a shared sense of modem, urban identity among its readers. How were modem metropolitan identities created in East Central Europe in the decades before the Great War, and how were such identifications informed by tropes already in use elsewhere? In general, scholarship about East Central Europe for this period has focused on the question of nationalism and its relation to politics. Even in studies of urban centers, like Prague, Budapest, and Vienna, nationality issues have often had precedence.' This is not unwarranted, as national identification defined many of the terms of urban interaction in the ethnically diverse cities of the region. But what if strong urban and interurban identities also arose during this period, identities that overlapped with, and at times even supplanted, national ones? "Islands in a sea of rural, peasant settlements," the large cities of East Central Europe were qualitatively different from the landscape that surrounded them, as Ivan Berend has observed.2 It should come as no surprise that as their citizens became accustomed to life in the city, they recognized these differences. In their introduction to The City in Central Europe, Malcolm Gee, Tim Kirk, and Jill Steward
Urban Landscape and Printed Press in Habsburg Lemberg: the Kotsko Memorial of 1912
Authors: Binder Harald 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis article analyzes a political demonstration in Habsburg Lemberg commemorating the death of a Ukrainian student during fights at the university. The Ukrainians in Lemberg figured as an urban minority that claimed chief historical rights on the city, but was largely deprived of the chance to express this claim in public space. In this case, Lemberg's Ukrainians found two alternative sites to be suitable for the public expression of national self: the cemetery, a space largely outside the realm of political control, and a building in the city center of national significance to the local Ukrainian community. In these commemorations, the press played the role of transforming political events into consistent narratives that were in line with different groups' political intentions.
The Lemberg Garden: Political Representation in Public Greenery Under the Habsburg Rule
Authors: Prokopovych Markian 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis article considers the politicization of urban green areas as an under-researched aspect of urban spatial politics in the Habsburg Monarchy and in the specific case of Lemberg. Municipal concern with the maintenance of old private parks and the establishment of new green areas was continuous throughout Habsburg Lemberg's history. Lemberg's parks possessed a kind of privacy that permitted much more flexible use than that of the streets for various informal, non-official and, often, nationalist celebrations. As clusters of true "public spheres" and, at the same time, commemorative sites of diverse and conflicting codings, they became a kind of testing ground for subsequent mass street politics. Although at the fin de siècle the municipality grew increasingly Polish nationalist in its rhetoric, in practice it espoused a conglomerate of imperial and local values, as seen in its erecting a monument to Agenor Goluchowski, rather than to Tadeusz KoŚciuszko.
Fin-De-Siècle Budapest as a Center of Art
Authors: Szívόs Erika 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis article discusses the emergence of Budapest as an art center as an integral part of the greater project of the making of the Hungarian capital after the Compromise of 1867. In the political setup of the Dual Monarchy, major cultural institutions were founded and a distinct urban culture, centered around cafés, was born in Budapest. It was there that actual or potential patrons, as well as receptive audiences, of the arts were to be found, which in turn led the city to also become a magnet for artists. "Artists' tables," subject to great public attention and the source of coffeehouses' reputations, became sites of casual networking and the cultivation of personal relationships between artists, patrons, and various mediators in the arts.
Building an Entente Cordiale On the Plains of Bácska: Szabadka/Subotica's Urban History
Authors: Klein Rudolf 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis paper analyses the urban history of Szabadka (today Subotica in Serbia), a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional royal free town, and the third most populous urban settlement in Hungary until World War I. This city evolved from a market town (mezöváros) as its ethnically and confessionally diverse enclaves physically merged in the nineteenth century to form an architecturally and socially coherent center. In addition to the town's urban history, morphology, and historical ethnic relationships, the article also deals with the effects of the rushed urbanization around 1900 and major construction in the style of Hungarian Art Nouveau, a kind of "national Esperanto" that became the town's lasting architectural feature.
Urban Transformation and De-Ottomanization in Greece
Authors: Koumaridis Yorgos 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis article examines the ways in which nationalism transformed Greek urban space during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through urban planning, architecture, archaeology, the destruction of Ottoman material remains and the promotion of Ancient Greek and (later) Byzantine heritage, urban space was gradually hellenized and cleansed of its Ottoman past. Specific examples, including the case of Thessaloniki, where the strong Ottoman character of the city was gradually effaced, are examined so as to outline the aims and the patterns of this transformation.
Mapping the Landscape of Hungarian Urban Historiography
Authors: Laczó Ferenc 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis review essay discusses four recent urban historical publications that all relate to Hungarian history and scholarship. The first two works are studies of Budapest by individual authors, namely Gábor Gyáni and Robert Nemes, and are now available in English. The second two are Hungarian-language volumes of conference proceedings that consciously aim to cross disciplinary and national borders, specifically the Slovak-Hungarian one. Taking different paths, all four of these monographs aim to elevate Hungarian urban history beyond local confines. This review essay argues that these works deserve our attention as they reflect new developments, but two of them expose scholarly limitations. The reviewer lays out five criteria in his introduction by which he evaluates the works in his conclusion. Together these publications enable us to draw a rough map of current scholarly production and thereby provide a sense of orientation in the changing landscape of Hungarian urban historiography. They additionally allow us to compare Hungarian scholarship with those of other national contexts.
Europe as Social Practice: Towards an Interactive Approach to Modern European History
Authors: Bauerkämper Arnd 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe article starts with analyzing the inherent comparative frameworks influencing the way Europe is usually mapped with regard to historical regions. Such regions have been frequently devised in terms of dualistic spatial and temporal concepts contrasting central vs. peripheral and “progressive” vs. “backward” entities. Rejecting these concepts, the study advocates a reconsideration of the spatial dimension in terms of “entangled history”/history of transfers, becoming more sensitive to the complex interplay between different regions. At the same time, the author rejects the one-sided application of “entangled history” as it absolutizes the interaction and excludes the possibility of structural analyses of the differences between transmitting and recipient societies. Therefore, he pleads for a creative combination of the comparative method with the more recent methodological precepts stressing transnational interaction.
