Type material. Tonkin, coll. Mabille, MNHN-IM-2000-31797 (3 syntypes, Fig. 7).
Diagnosis. A medium-sized alycaeid species with a shell that is slightly higher than wide, R1 glossy, R2 relatively short and smooth, R3 smooth with a blunt swelling.
Description. Shell slightly higher than wide; greyish with whitish peristome; protoconch rather glossy, consists of 1.75 whorls; R1 glossy, nearly smooth, with some very weak, irregular radial and spiral lines, consists of 1.75 whorls; R2 and R3 slightly shorter than quarter whorl combined, R3 being at least twice longer than R2; R2 with approx. 28 microtunnels (slender, whitish lines), it is smooth from above, tube short but elongated; R3 smooth with a blunt swelling, glossy; constriction between R2 and R3 moderately deep; aperture conspicuously large; peristome white, outer peristome expanded and reflected; inner peristome slightly protruding; boundary between two peristomes clearly visible; umbilicus slit-like, open.
Measurements (in mm). D = 4.6, H = 4.8 (syntype).
Operculum. The outer surface of the operculum of the holotype could be examined: it is horny, multispiral, without elevated lamella.
Variation in specimens. Only the syntypes are known.
Differential diagnosis. Alycaeus vanbuensis Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1900 is similar, but usually larger, and its R1 is ribbed.
Distribution. This species is known from the type sample only.
Remarks. The shell shape is similar to that of Pincerna, but there are no strong ribs in the upper whorls, and the tube is elongated, not extremely short and piriform. The tube is short for the genus Alycaeus, but the shell shape agrees with other members of the genus.

Pincerna? maolanensis — Páll-Gergely et al., 2020: 180, Fig. 41.
Type material. Mao-Lan Town, Libo County, Qian-Nan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China, leg. Luo Tai-Chang, 2001.7.9., IZCAS TM 047081 (holotype, Fig. 5F–I).
Diagnosis. A small alycaeid species with a shell that is higher than wide, R1 strongly, regularly ribbed, long, smooth, R3 or normal length, with low swelling, its ribs density is similar to that of R1.
Remarks. Pincerna vanbuensis is the species most similar to P. maolanensis in terms of shell size and the ratios or shell regions, however, it has a denser R1 ribbing. Although the rib density of P. vanbuensis is variable across populations, it is never as widely-spaced as that of P. maolanensis. Moreover, between the main ribs of P. maolanensis, there are additional, thinner, lower riblets, while the area between the R1 ribs of P. vanbuensis is smooth. It would be important to examine several samples from northern Guangxi and southern Guizhou provinces to see whether these traits are stable across populations of P. maolanensis and P. vanbuensis, or if the two species are connected by intermediate forms.
Distribution. This species is known only from its type locality (Fig. 6).

description: This paper discusses the emergence of endogenous redistributive cycles in a stochastic growth model with incomplete asset markets and heterogeneous agents, where agents vote on the degree of progressivity in the taxñtransferñscheme. The model draws from BÈnabou (1996) and ties the bias in the distribution of political power to the degree of inequality in the society, thereby triggering redistributive cycles which then give rise to a nonlinear, cyclical pattern of savings rates, growth and inequality over time.

description: The massive growth of photovoltaics (PV) challenges the German electricity supply system. It is necessary to adjust the generation of electricity from PV to the demand, to prevent power grid overloads due to solar electricity and to integrate the electricity into the market. This thesis examines, how decentralised energy storage devices can contribute to overcome these challenges and to what extent this approach is promoted by the current legal framework. It shows, that decentralised energy storage devices could contribute to the system und market inte-gration of PV, but the legal incentives are insufficient to realise this potential
description: Der massive Ausbau der Photovoltaik (PV) stellt das deutsche Stromversorgungssystem vor Herausforderungen. Es gilt, die Stromerzeugung aus PV dem Bedarf anzupassen, Netzüberlastungen durch Solarstrom zu verhindern und den Strom in den Markt zu integrieren. Diese Arbeit untersucht, inwiefern dezentrale Stromspeicher als Lö-sungsansatz zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen geeignet sind und inwieweit der derzeitige Rechtsrah-men diesen Ansatz fördert. Es zeigt sich, dass dezentrale Speicher einen Beitrag zur System- und Marktintegrati-on der PV leisten könnten, die rechtliche Förderung aber unzureichend ist, um dieses Potential auszuschöpfen.

description: Die vorliegende Examensarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Themenkomplex um die geschlechtsspezifischen Schulleistungsunterschiede. Hierbei wird das Ziel verfolgt, festzustellen, welche Unterschiede bestehen und warum sich die aktuellen Vergleichsstudien mit dem Thema befassen. Dazu werden Differenzen in Schulleistung und Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen von Mädchen und Jungen anhand der PISA- und IGLU-Ergebnisse sowie vorheriger Forschungsergebnisse betrachtet und deren Auswirkungen auf Individuum und Gesellschaft beleuchtet. Um die Möglichkeit des Abbaus der Unterschiede überprüfen zu können, werden die Ursachen für die Entstehung der Unterschiede erörtert, so dass sich Ansatzpunkte für Gegenmaßnahmen verdeutlichen. Hierzu dient u.a. ein Vergleich der Ergebnisse aus PISA mit denen aus IGLU, mit dem verdeutlicht wird, inwiefern geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede bereits in der Grundschule entstehen und sich auf die Sekundarstufe auswirken. Zur Erklärung der Entstehung der Differenzen werden insbesondere Persönlichkeitsmerkmale herangezogen, welche auch in den Studien untersucht wurden. Zusätzlich werden mögliche Gründe gefunden, die zur unterschiedlichen Ausprägung der Differenzen in den verschiedenen Staaten führen und Aufschluss über Beeinflussungsmöglichkeiten geben. Inwieweit ein Gegenwirken gegen die geschlechtsspezifischen Differenzen notwendig ist, wird anhand der Auswirkungen der Schulleistungsunterschiede und Persönlichkeitsmerkmale auf den Bildungs- und Berufsweg von Mädchen und Jungen aufgezeigt. Letztendliches Ziel ist es, herauszufinden, wie die vorhandenen Unterschiede ggf. minimiert werden können. Hierzu wird u.a. geprüft, inwiefern die Möglichkeit der Übernahme bildungsrelevanter Maßnahmen aus anderen Nationen zur Reduktion der Differenzen besteht. In diesem Rahmen werden auch kulturelle Unterschiede betrachtet.

description: This paper discusses a model of vertical and horizontal product differentiation within the Dixit-Stiglitz framework of monopolistic competition. Firms compete not only in prices and horizontal attributes of their products, but also in the quality that can be controlled by R&D activities. Based upon the results of a general equilibrium model, intra-sectoral trade and the welfare implications of public intervention in terms of research promotion are considered. The analysis involves a numerical application to ten basic European industries.

description: Pincerna yaanensis Z.-Y. Chen, 2022
(Figs 5J–R)
Pincerna yaanensis Z.-Y. Chen, 2022: 118.
Type locality. “ Bifengxia scenic spot [AEIJ ẈṃḆḢ], Bifengxia town [AEIJ Ẉffi], Yaan City [Bdzm], Sichuan Province [Ɓffl ẘ], China, 102°59′23″E, 30°04′26″N ”.
Additional material examined. CHINA, Sichuan, Chengdu Shi, Dujiangyan Shi, Qingcheng Shan, Fangningqiao 200 m towards Zushidian, 1130 m a.s.l., 30°54.337′N, 103°33.282′E (locality code: 2015/53), leg. Hunyadi, A., 6 June 2015, HA/1 (Fig. 5N–R).
Distribution. This species is known from two closely situated localities in central Sichuan. Here I report this species from another site ca. 100 km north from the known localities (Fig. 6).
Remarks. Pincerna yaanensis is a recently described species from central Sichuan. According to the original description, it is larger than P. costulosus, it has a ribbed R3 (smooth in P. costulosus), has a more convex body whorl, denser ribs, and an umbilicus completely covered by the reflected peristome. After examining several P. costulosus shells belonging to multiple populations, the differences between P. costulosus and P. yaanensis do not seem to be convincing. The difference in size between P. yaanensis and P. costulosus is only minimal; the difference regarding R3 is not correct, because some P. costulosus shells (even syntypes, see Fig. 8E–H) have ribs on R3; the rib density is also variable across populations of P. costulosus (although probably still denser than in any P. costulosus shell); and the umbilicus is completely covered in some P. costulosus shells (see Fig. 8E–H). Pincerna yaanensis should be kept as an independent species because of the R3 of P. costulosus has a central swelling, whereas it is shifted towards the aperture in P. yaanensis.

Material examined. Mexico: Baja California, Oaxaca, Bay of Dulce, 5 Apr 1937, coll. W. Williams and F. E. Lewis On "Stranger": 1 male, 9.8 mm cl, 1 female 12.1 mm cl (USNM 267786).
Distribution. Colima, Mexico, south to Mancora, Peru; depth range unknown (Boyko 2002).
Remarks. These specimens agree in almost all characters with Lepidopa deamae; the sole exception is that the indent of the dactylus of pereopod II is rounded rather than narrowly indented and slitlike. This character was given in the key of Boyko (2002) to distinguish between L. deamae (slit-like pereopod II indent) and L. benedicti Schmitt, 1935 (broad pereopod II indent), although the distribution and maximum sizes of L. deamae (Pacific, 35.9 mm cl) and L. benedicti (Atlantic, 25.3 mm cl) are also very different. As the two specimens cited above represent the smallest known specimens of L. deamae (the previous smallest known specimen was an 18.1 mm cl female; see Boyko 2002: 166), it is possible that the shape of the pereopod II dactylus indent changes with size and becomes more narrowed. The two specimens examined here appear to be mature, based on pleopod and telson development, although the female lacks eggs and reproductive competence cannot be explicitly demonstrated. Aside from the difference in pereopod II morphology, these specimens appear identical with L. deamae and occur within the known geographic range of that species. It is possible that these specimens represent a distinct species from L. deamae, and one that perhaps does not attain the large size of L. deamae. Further collection of specimens is required, ideally including a developmental series to show ontogeny of the pereopod II, in order to address this question. It is possible that the differences between these specimens and other L. deamae are the reason that Hendrickx (1993a) cited a record of L. cf. deamae from Sinaloa.

Material examined. Mariana Islands, Guam: reef talus, east Asana Bay, 90 m off Gold Dome, coarse foram and Halimeda rich sand, coll. G. Paulay and B. D. Smith, 14 Jul 1997: 1 male, 5.0 mm cl, 1 female, 4.0 mm cl (FLMNH UF 324).
Distribution. Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam Australia (Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales), New Caledonia, Mariana Islands (Guam), Marshall Islands, Tahiti, in 6.1–45.5 m depth (Boyko 2002, Osawa et al. 2010, herein).
Remarks. These specimens are the first records of Paralbunea dayriti from Guam. The record by Garth et al. (1987) from Enewetak Atoll cited above is based on the same material cited by Boyko (2002). The species has a very wide range across the western Pacific. The validity of the subfamilial placement of Paralbunea is unclear. Boyko (2002) considered it as basal in the Albuneinae, while the morphological analysis of Boyko & Harvey (2009) placed as basal in the Lepidopinae. Further study, likely using molecular analysis, is required to resolve this uncertainty.

Material examined. None.
Distribution. Indonesia, Western Australia and Queensland, Australia, Marquises Islands, in up to 82.3 m depth (Boyko 2002).
Remarks. The paper by Garstang (1897) was overlooked by all subsequent researchers, despite having the genus name Albunea stated in the title of the paper. Study of his description and sole illustration (of the anterior portion of the carapace, including ocular peduncles) leaves no doubt that the single specimen he examined is conspecific with Albunea mariellae Serène, 1973. This means that Albunea scutelloides is the valid name for the taxon that is the type species of the monotypic genus Squillalbunea Boyko, 2002. The correct name for this species is therefore Squillalbunea scutelloides (Garstang, 1897). The holotype of A. scutelloides was originally in the Oxford Museum but Garstang (1897) stated that it “will be” deposited in the British Museum. Unfortunately, it appears that neither of these institutions currently holds the specimen (De Grave, Lowe, pers. commun.) and it must be considered lost. This species is distinctive enough that no neotype is required.

Distribution. From Zanzibar and Madagascar north to Oman and eastward to the Philippines and New Caledonia, and northward to Japan, in 3–45 m depth (Boyko 2002).
Remarks. That these specimens are from the material examined by Garstang (1897) is clear judging from his initials on the specimen labels. From his description, he examined a large series of A. microps, but the whereabouts of the other specimens is not known; they are not in OUMNH or BMNH.

(Figs. 1 C, 2A–D)
Material examined. U.S.A., Hawaii: 200 fathoms (365.8 m), ex opakapaka a.k.a. crimson jobfish (Pristipomoides filamentosus (Valenciennes)) Little Brooks Bank (ca. 24°– 24°15’N, 166°45’–167°W), northwestern Hawaiian Islands, coll. Capt. W. Strickland on F/V Fortuna, 11 Apr 2005: 1 male, 17.5 mm cl (BPBM S12265).
Distribution. Taiwan; Queensland, Australia; New Caledonia; Fiji; Hawaii; up to 29.3 m depth (365.8 m, in gut of P. filamentosus); possibly from Pitcairn Island, in 47.6–54.9 m depth (Boyko 2002, herein).
Colouration. Carapace, eyes, antennae, and abdomen all generally uniform tan; carapace with darker brown band across medial third; pereopods with iridescent sheen on light tan ground colour; setae dark brown (Fig. 1 C).
Remarks. Until now, the albuneid fauna of the Hawaiian Islands included only two species: A. speciosa Dana, 1852 and A. danai Boyko, 1999 (see Eldredge & Evenhuis 2003). The condition of the present specimen is remarkably good, considering the source, and the characters of the dactyli of pereopods II-IV and the male telson confirm it as A. bulla (Figs. 2 A-D). The collection data for this new specimen of A. bulla was initially perplexing in that the species has never been recorded from waters deeper than 29.3 m (or 54.9 m if the species occurs on Pitcairn Island; currently known only from a partial specimen; see Boyko 2002). However, the fact that the fish species from which the Hawaiian specimen of A. bulla was removed has been found generally from 90–360 m depth (Allen 1985) suggests that perhaps the crab was eaten at shallower depths and transported intus piscis to the depth at which the fish was caught. Nevertheless, it is clear, based on the condition of the specimen, that the crab was relatively recently caught by the fish and not imported to the Hawaiian Islands from an outside locality. The deepest known freely caught albuneids are Austrolepidopa caledonia Boyko & Harvey, 1999 (190–225 m) and an unusually deep-water specimen of Albunea symmysta (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Philippines (151.5 m).

Distribution. Zanzibar, Madagascar, Mascarene Islands (Réunion), Seychelles, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia (Queensland) in 9.1–120 m depth (Boyko 2002, herein).
Remarks. This is not the first record of Albunea holthuisi from Réunion. Boyko (2002) suspected that the specimens of Albunea “ symnista ” [sic] reported from Réunion by Ward (1942) were A. holthuisi. The specimen listed above further strengthens that supposition and Ward’s (1942) record is included in the above synonymy list without the “?” that preceded it in Boyko (2002: 290). The collection depth of the present specimen greatly exceeds previously reported depths for this species of up to 34 m (Boyko 2002).

Distribution. East coast of India throughout southeast Asia to Taiwan, Queensland and Lord Howe Island, Australia, in up to 151.5 m depth (Boyko 2002; Osawa et al. 2010); possibly from Madagascar (needs confirmation, see below).
Remarks. As with the Madagascan specimen of Albunea groeningi reported above, A. symmysta is otherwise unknown from Madagascar, or indeed any part of the western Indian Ocean (see distribution). The locality data on the handwritten (in pen) label accompanying this specimen reads only “ Madagascar ” with an identification of A. steinitzi Holthuis, 1958. However, the label is clearly not original and consultation of the MNHN catalogue books provided no additional data. Thomassin (1969) reported this species from Madagascar, but examined no specimens nor cited any verifiable records from the literature (see Boyko 2002). In the absence of additional Madagascan material beyond the single specimen reported herein, I consider this a possible record of A. symmysta from Madagascar, but not a verified extension of the species’ range.
All of the above “?” citations of this species as Albunea “ symnista ” are possibly of this species but may well be misidentifications, especially the material from China. The specimen cited by Garstang (1897) from Madras, India, however, is clearly A. symmysta, based on direct examination of the specimen (OUMNH 2008- 09 -0112) upon which his illustration was based.

Diagnosis. Aiptasiidae with wide, regularly shaped pedal disc. Column elongated, smooth, with cinclides in 2–3 longitudinal rows in mid-column; column not distinctly divisible into scapus and capitulum. Mesogleal marginal sphincter strong but short, slightly reticulate. Strong longitudinal ectodermal muscles in distal column. Tentacles long, simple, to 96, always smooth, without projections. Same number of mesenteries distally and proximally. Six pairs of perfect mesenteries. Only first and second cycles fertile. Retractor muscles restricted. Acontia well developed. Symbiotic with Symbiodinium spp. Asexual reproduction by pedal laceration. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, microbasic b -mastigophores and p -amastigophores.
Type species. Dysactis pallida Agassiz in Verrill, 1864 by original designation.
Included species. Exaiptasia pallida comb. nov.
Etymology. The genus name comes from the Latin prefix "Ex" meaning "out" and Aiptasia, the genus in which it was included before.
Taxonomic remarks. We erect a new genus for Exaiptasia pallida comb. nov. because there is no name available that applies to the combination of characters corresponding to Exaiptasia pallida comb. nov.

Diagnosis (after Schmidt 1972). Aiptasiidae with wide, regularly shaped pedal disc. Column elongate, smooth (in some species with accumulations of nematocysts), with cinclides in mid-column. Column not distinctly divisible into scapus and capitulum. Mesogleal marginal sphincter weak. Strong longitudinal ectodermal muscles in distal column. Tentacles long, simple, to 170, always smooth, without projections. More mesenteries distally than proximally. Eight perfect mesenteries proximally. All cycles of mesenteries fertile. Retractor muscles restricted. Acontia well developed. Zooxanthellae absent. Asexual reproduction by pedal laceration. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, and microbasic b -mastigophores and p -amastigophores.
Type species. Paractis comata Andres, 1881 by monotypy.
Included species. Aiptasiogeton eruptaurantia (Field, 1949); A. hyalinus (Delle Chiaje, 1822), Aiptasiogeton parva (Carlgren, 1938).
Taxonomic remarks. We modified the number of tentacles (up to 170) and added the presence of accumulations of nematocysts in the column in some species in the diagnosis of the genus to reflect the description of Aiptasiogeton eruptaurantia and A. parva (former Aiptasia parva, see below), respectively.

description: Genus Bartholomea Duchassaing de Fombressin & Michelotti, 1864
Diagnosis (after Carlgren 1949). Aiptasiidae with wide and regularly shaped pedal disc. Column rather long, smooth (or with minute papillae), with up to five rows of cinclides in mid-column; column distinctly divisible into scapus and capitulum. Mesogleal marginal sphincter weak. Tentacles to 192, rather long, not fully retractile, with spiral or incomplete annular raised bands with nematocyst batteries; bands throughout entire tentacle or near tip only. More mesenteries distally than proximally. Perfect mesenteries 6–8 pairs, fertile. Oral stoma. Retractors diffuse, sometimes fairly restricted. Symbiotic with Symbiodinium spp. Asexual reproduction by pedal laceration. Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs, and microbasic b -mastigophores and p -amastigophores.
Type species. Actinia solifera Le Sueur, 1817 by subsequent designation. We amend here the type species of Bartholomea; the designation of Actinia annulata Le Sueur, 1817 by Stephenson (1920) is invalid because this species is not among species originally in genus (Fautin 2013). However, A. solifera was originally included in Bartholomea when the genus was erected (Duchassaing de Fombressin & Michelotti 1864). Actinia solifera is a junior synonym of A. annulata, but the latter is not the type species of Bartholomea and should not be cited as such (Art. 67.1.2, ICZN 1999).
Included species. Bartholomea annulata; B. peruviana Pax, 1924.
Taxonomic remarks. We specified in the diagnosis of the genus that cinclides in mid-column might be arranged in up to five rows as we observed in Bartholomea annulata. We also added the presence of oral stoma because we detected them in B. annulata.

Mesogleal marginal sphincter weak, alveolar. Tentacles to 192, not fully retractile with scattered, spherical hollow vesicles containing nematocyst batteries and longitudinal muscles. More mesenteries distally than proximally. Six pairs of perfect and fertile mesenteries. Oral stoma. Retractors diffuse. Symbiotic with Symbiodinium spp. No asexual reproduction (?). Cnidom: spirocysts, basitrichs and microbasic b -mastigophores and p -amastigophores.
Type species. Capnea lucida Duchassaing de Fombressin & Michelotti, 1860 by original designation.
Included species. Laviactis lucida (Duchassaing de Fombressin & Michelotti, 1860) comb. nov.; L. hyalina (Le Sueur, 1817) comb. nov. (?).
Etymology. The genus name comes from the Greek " Lavi " meaning "round protuberance" and " actis " a common suffix for actiniarian genera.
Taxonomic remarks. We erect a new genus for the former Ragactis lucida (Andres, 1883). The genus Ragactis was originally described by Andres (1883) for Ragactis pulchra, currently Phymanthus pulcher; he incorporated Capena lucida as the second species of Ragactis (Andres 1883). Thus, the diagnosis of the genus Ragactis corresponds to P. pulcher (its type species) and it is a synonym of Phymanthus. Other genera in which Laviactis lucida comb. nov. was previously included (e.g. Heteractis, Bartholomea, Aiptasia, see below) correspond to sets of characters defining different species than those of L. lucida comb. nov.; thus, we erect a new genus for the species.
