(Figs. 29–33)
Notocyrtus costai was described based on a single female from Suriname, currently deposited in MZUSP (Figs. 29–31). The female examined here (Fig. 32–33) seems very similar to the holotype, although some small differences in color are recorded: in the postocular portion of the head the large transverse blackish marking is continuous in the specimen from French Guiana (Fig. 33) and it is interrupted at middle in the female holotype, forming a pair of “large spots in dorsal portion of postocular area” (Gil-Santana & Forero 2009); in the pronotum, the transverse yellow stripe (Gil-Santana & Forero’s “transverse fascia”), between anterior and posterior lobes is somewhat narrower (Fig. 32), and the hind margin of third lobe completely blackish (Fig. 32) (pale yellow in the holotype, Figs. 29–30). Additionally, Gil-Santana & Forero (2009) recorded the total length of the female holotype 11.0 / 13.0 mm, while the female from French Guiana measured 9.5 / 12.5 mm to the tip of abdomen and hemelytra, respectively.
Distribution. French Guiana (new record), Suriname.

Vespa ducalis var. soror du Buysson, 1905 (1904): 519. Lectotype female (designated by van der Vecht, 1957: 16); China: Jaingxi, ‘Kiang-si’ (PARIS). Given as mandarina soror by van der Vecht, 1957.
Distribution. India, southwestern China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam.
Discussion. Little biology is known for this species. It has been found in hilly and montane sites up to 1,500 m in continental southeastern Asia (Archer 2008). The nests are typically underground. These wasps are predators of other insects and even small vertebrates, like geckos. They will also attack nests of honeybees and other social vespids, including hornets (Lee 2009).

description: Isocondylus elongatus (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825)
(Fig. 28)
Isocondylus Amyot & Serville, 1843 and its only included species, I. elongatus, were both redescribed by Coscarón et al. (2008). Because Isocondylus is monotypic, I. elongatus is identified by the diagnostic characteristics of the genus such as the presence of short postantennal tubercles, the disc of hind lobe of pronotum unarmed (Stål 1872) and a flat scutellum (Coscarón et al. 2008).Additionally, the elongated body and the general coloration and structure of I. elongatus allow an easy recognition of the species (Fig. 28). Isocondylus elongatus was recorded from Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia (Maldonado 1990), Colombia (Forero 2006) and Venezuela (Coscarón et al. 2008). It is noteworthy that the latter authors did not mention the previous record of I. elongatus from Colombia and considered their record of it to Argentina as new. Gil-Santana & Zeraik (2003), in field observations, noticed that adults of I. elongatus, when disturbed, presented a behavior of vibrating wings and abdomen similar to wasps occurring in the same region (e.g. Apoica pallens (Fabricius, 1804); Hymenoptera: Vespidae). They considered that similarities of the coloration seemed to reinforce the apparent mimicry.

Diagnostic characters. Major axis of eye in lateral view 2–4 × distance from eye to dorsalmost point of head (Figs 1C, 6M). Frontal pit dorsally with median groove (Figs 6P, Q). Clypeus with width 3.2–3.8 × maximum height (Fig. 7B); maximum height 0.8–1.0 × torulus height; ventral emargination distinct and wide; depth of emargination 0.3–0.6 × median height of clypeus. Mandibles symmetric (Figs 7A, B); in outer view, each rather sharply tapered basally, gradually tapered from middle to apex (Figs 7A, D, E, J, K), with low and dull apical carina on each of anterior and posterior surfaces (Figs 7P, Q).
Ventral edge of epicnemium narrowly and distinctly grooved. Katepimeron extensively or posteriorly covered with setae, sometimes with only a few or several setae. In fore wing, vein C apically slightly or distinctly dilated, and cell Sc 0.3–1.0 × as wide as vein C at middle point of origin of vein Rs+M (Figs 8W, X); crossvein 2r-rs absent (Figs 1B, F, J, M, 2B, E).
In female abdomen, cercus about 4–6 × as long as wide (Figs 9A, B, I, J). Valvula 3 apically emarginate or pointed in dorsal view (Figs 9A, B; fig. 2f in Liu et al. 2019). In lance, radix without subdorsal carina (Figs 10A–C). In lancet, tangium with or without pores (Figs 11A–C); sclerotized part before lamnium being narrow transverse band; annulus 1 anteriorly with transverse colorless area with ctenidium. In male abdomen, penis valve with valvispina directed posteroventrally (Figs 14K–N).
Remarks. The F. crenativora group is distinguished from the F. quercivora group as stated in the key above. In all members of the group, the lancet has the annulus 1 with a ctenidium in a distinct transverse colorless area and the sclerotized part before the annulus 1 being a narrow transverse band (Figs 11A–C; figs 2A–H in Liu et al. 2021). In the related genera such as Euura, Nematus and Pristiphora and the F. quercivora group, the annulus 1 usually does not have a ctenidium (see Benson 1958, Liston et al. 2017, Prous et al. 2017, 2019, 2021), and if it has a ctenidium, the area around the ctenidium is not widely colorless or the sclerotized part before the lamnium is absent or does not become a narrow transverse band (e.g. figs 22, 24 in Smith 2012; Fig. 13E). Therefore, this character of the F. crenativora group appears to be unique in the Nematinae and may support the monophyly of the group.

description: Helkesimastix faecicola Woodcock and Lapage 1914 (Figs 1k, 4h)
Observation: Cells are elliptical, 4 to 8 µm long, flexible, not flattened and with two flagella. The short flagellum (arrow, Fig. 4h) emerging subapically (almost apically) from a shallow depression directs posteriorly and is easy to overlook. The long flagellum is 1.5 to 2.5 times longer than the cell, attaches to the cell body and is acronematic. The cells glide closely contact to the substrate. Observed abundantly at one sampling station in Gippsland Basin.
Remarks: The cells described here are assigned to Helkesimastix faecicola Woodcock and Lapage, 1914 (6–7 µm) although H. faecicola had only one flagellum. The tiny flagellum in the cells described might be overlooked. This species was found at a marine site in England (Lackey and Lackey 1963). It appears to be slightly different from H. faecicola described by Zhukov (1971), Zhukov and Mylnikov (1983), and Tong et al. (1997). The cells described by Tong et al. (1997) have only one flagellum, and the cells by Zhukov (1971) and Zhukov and Mylnikov (1983) are more similar to Bodo platyrhynchus (Larsen and Patterson 1990). Helkesimastix faecicola is similar to Prismatomonas limax Massart 1920 in cell shape and cell size, and in having an acronematic flagellum attaching to the cell body. Prismatomonas limax may be a junior synonym of H. faecicola. Helkesimastix faecicola is distinguished from Allantion by having two flagella and by the long flagellum attached to cell body. This species is similar to Bodo platyrhynchus in cell length and having two flagella, but is distinguished by the beating of the short flagellum in B. platyrhynchus. The anterior flagellum of B. platyrhynchus beats forwardly while that of H. faecicola directing posteriorly does not beat. Recently, another species (H. marina, 4.5– 7 µm) has been reported from marine sediment in Belize by Cavalier-Smith et al. (2009). According to Cavalier-Smith et al. (2009), there are two major differences from H. faecicola; the presence of a contractile vacuole and the shape of the cysts (~ 4 µm) which are non-spherical and dish-shaped (Cavalier-Smith et al. 2009, p. 455; Figs 1r, s). However, Woodcock and Lapage (1914) also mentioned that it has a contractile vacuole (p. 357), and its cysts are 3 to 3.5 µm and spherical or ovate (Plate 13: 1–3). When looking at the cysts in Figs 1r and 1s of Cavalier-Smith et al. (2009), they are almost spherical. In addition, these species overlap in cell length. Thus, these two species are indistingushiable from each other and here H. marina is regarded as a junior synonym of H. faecicola.

Discussion. This is a distinctively colored Vespa, with a black metasoma, except for a broad yellow to orange stripe across most of the second segment (as in V. affinis), although some individuals may lack this stripe. Vespa tropica are nest predators of other social wasps as well as other large-bodied insects, including honeybees (Archer 1991). Nests are either above ground in tree cavities or in cavities in the ground. Around human habitations, they will build nests under eaves, in shed, and attics.

description: This review study intended to investigate how existing agribusiness competitiveness studies understood the competitiveness concept and the measurement employed. To address the aims, the study used a systematic review strategy, particularly using the PRISMA 2020 protocol. In this respect, clear inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to select 60 relevant articles from the total of 2,563 agribusiness competitiveness-focused articles obtained from various databases. The study also used content analysis to analyze the data that were gathered and descriptive research design to present the results descriptively. The finding shows that competitiveness concept is understood from marketing perspective or forward integration, particularly from export. Methodologically, the finding revealed that there is a shortage of studies conducted using explanatory design and inferential statistical analysis. RCA, Porter Diamond, and RTA models are the most accepted and applied models to investigate competitiveness in the existing studies but the first two in particular are not complete. Therefore, it is suggested that future studies focus on investigating agribusiness competitiveness using explanatory design and inferential statistical analysis. It is also recommended that NRCA, RTA, and the proposed competitiveness framework has to be used together to investigate agribusiness competitiveness comprehensively.

description: Improving the performance of the national hospitality industry is crucial, considering the ongoing rise in foreign and local tourist arrivals, which are estimated to be influenced by marketing strategies and the role of hotel employees. This study aims to investigate the influence of human resource management and marketing strategies on corporate image within a competitive market context, particularly in the hospitality sector. Moreover, it explores whether corporate image mediates between human resource management strategies, marketing strategies, and firm performance. Previous research overlooked the significance of corporate image for success in this industry. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey targeting 232 hotel managers in East Java, Indonesia. Structural equation modeling analysis reveals that marketing strategy positively impacts corporate image, thereby enhancing firm performance. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the direct effect of marketing strategy on firm performance, especially through pricing strategies that consider competitor prices, resulting in increased sales growth rates. These findings suggest that setting room occupancy prices positively influences market confidence. Hence, practitioners must carefully determine room prices in the current digital communication era, where potential buyers can access data swiftly through digital communication devices. Consequently, pricing has become a sensitive aspect and an opportunity for future researchers to elucidate the appropriate pricing strategy.

Ploeogaster

description: Ploeogaster Amyot & Serville, 1843
Ploeogaster currently includes 10 valid species (Maldonado 1990, Gil-Santana & Webb 2019), all in need of a revision, since only the information provided in the original descriptions, all of them published in the 19th century, are available for most of the species. Ploeogaster mammosus was described from “Cayenne” (French Guiana) (Amyot & Serville 1843), while Villiers (1971) mentioned two additional specimens of Ploeogaster from French Guiana, unidentified to species level. An additional species is recorded here.

SSbD approach

description: Oral presentation given by Susan Dekkers (TNO) at the SSbD24 conferene (10-15 November 2024, Monte Verità, Switzerland). On November 14th she presented the HARMLESS SSbD Approach and Decision Support System for Advanced Nanomaterials, in the “SSbD Tools & methods 1” session. In her presentation she explained the SSbD approach and DSS developed in the HARMLESS project, how the approach is aligned with the EU SSbD framework, how it considers data availability and resources along the innovation process, using a flexible stage-gate model of 3 innovation stages: ideation & business case phase, laboratory scale and pilot scale. She also introduced the tools and explained on how and when to use them: In the ideation and business case phase, designers are advised to use the AMEA and WASP tool. The Advanced Material Earliest Assessment (AMEA) tool consists of only 3 questions and is used for early categorization and subsequently advice on design principles and applicability of the SSbD approach. If the approach is applicable, the designer is advised to apply the second tool, named Warning flags, design Advice, Screening Priorities (WASP). WASP is based on the AMEA advice and several other existing tools as a simplified approach that requires less information. This approach consists of 12 questions to identify early warning flags on safety and sustainability and to provide design and assessment advice. To help industrial innovators to make an informed decision for the most optimal SSbD version in the lab phase, another approach, named Alternative SSbD Design Inspector (ASDI) was developed. Based on the early warning flags from WASP, ASDI provides guidance on which descriptors to measure and insight into the differences between the SSbD versions within the various dimensions (safety, sustainability and performance).

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 953183.

Diagnosis. Tinodes ivanovi n. sp. is similar to T. tafo n. sp. However, in T. ivanovi n. sp., the asymmetry of the intermediate appendage is stronger, the apex of the left branch is enlarged, and there is only one spine on each branch (three in T. tafo n. sp.).
Description. General color brown, with dorsal sclerites slightly darker, wings brown with few small hyaline areas. Length of each forewing 3.2 mm and of each hind wing 2.5 mm. Forewing forks 2, 3, 4, and 5; crossveins r (R1–R2+3), rs (R2+3–R4), and cu (Cu1–Cu2); small hyaline areas between R4+5 and M1+2, between M1+2 and M3+4, and as line along stem of M present. Hind wing forks 2 and 5, two anal veins, and crossvein r (R1–R2+3) present.
Male genitalia (Figs 2 A–2C): Sternite IX produced much more posterad than anterad, almost triangular as viewed laterally; dorsal part of tergite IX as long as first segment of each inferior appendage. Tergite X indistinct. Preanal appendages longer than intermediate appendage branches and phallic apparatus and bearing fine setae. Intermediate appendage divided, beyond mid-length, into two asymmetrical branches; left branch apically enlarged and more strongly curved ventrad; one long spine directed distad and inserted just before apex of each branch of intermediate appendage. Inferior apendage two-segmented; first segment subtrapezoidal; second segment threebranched: one ventral branch, short, directed ventrad bearing two obvious setae; two dorsal branches, including short, slightly curved external branch with few thin setae, and long, strongly curved internal branch.

description: This meta-analytic review conceptualises and synthesises the study factors related to this phenomenon to effectively comprehend online purchasing intention. This study’s "online purchase intention" concerns consumers’ propensity or likelihood to purchase via online channels. This review develops a conceptual framework that clarifies the aspects influencing online purchase intention by analysing pertinent data. The variables under investigation encompass usefulness, ease of use, congruence, trust, security, e-WOM and many other demographics and contextual factors. The potential moderators were also identified, and the moderating effect is validated in the study variable as framed in the conceptual framework. This review contributes to the field by offering valuable insights into the determinants of online purchase intention, enabling marketers and researchers to devise effective strategies to optimise consumer behaviour in the online shopping domain.

description: Ethnocentrism refers to consumers’ tendencies to favor products and services that are produced in their own country over those produced in foreign countries. The consumers’ ethnocentric tendencies scale (CETSCALE) was developed to assess consumers’ buying behavior towards foreign-made products. The current study examines the psychometric features of the CETSCALE’s Arabic edition. The scale was first rendered into Arabic utilizing the well-established back-translation process. An online version of the translated CETSCALE was administered to 703 Saudi participants. Both the reliability and validity of the scale were examined, and a two-dimensional structure of the scale was confirmed. Measurement invariance across gender was examined and the robustness of the results was confirmed using a network psychometrics approach. Findings indicate that the Arabic version of the CETSCALE is psychometrically vigorous and can be confidently utilized to examine adult Arab consumers’ ethnocentric tendencies.

description: The marketing landscape has intensely changed with the rise of digital platforms and social media. Social media influencer marketing was found by many previous studies to be a significant factor in shaping consumer buying behavior. This explanatory study investigates the impact of influencer marketing including para-social relationships, unpaid collaborations, and influencer trustworthiness on Lebanese consumers buying behavior. A quantitative analysis was employed using data collected through a questionnaire from a sample of 250 respondents. The findings revealed that para-social relationships and unpaid collaborations have a positive impact on Lebanese consumer buying behavior. The study contributes significantly by providing insights into the Lebanese market. By applying the Stimulus-Organism-Response Theory and Social Learning Theory, the study enriches the theoretical understanding of influencer marketing. Practically, it offers actionable strategies for marketers, emphasizing the importance of influencer marketing in driving consumer buying behavior in Lebanon.
