Hayden, 5.viii.1978, 10.vi. 1979, 31.vii.1979, 3.viii.1979, 20.ix.1979, from Raja eglanteria, off Beaufort, North Carolina to Cape May, New Jersey; from Raja texana, Gulf of Mexico at 29o 20.29’N, 93o 43.76’W, depth 15 m; 28o 13.4’ N; 94o 43.15’W, depth 51m, coll. R. Campbell, 20–23.x.1994, 7.vii.1995. Vouchers deposited (USNPC 103848– 103850).
Prevalence: 2 of 11 Raja texana individuals examined.
Remarks: The four specimens of A. floridensis from Raja texana collected in this study range from 5.6–11.5 mm long and two specimens have 60–63 segments, none of which are completely mature. Accessory sucker diameters are 46–53; pad width 137–171; petaloid bothridia 537–656 long by 392–498 wide; bothridial ratio (BL: BW) 1: 0.68 to 1: 0.7; locular length ratio (A: M: P) 1: 0.6: 0.3 to 1: 0.7: 0.5. Hook dimensions are: handles 42; axial total hook lengths 125–133, abaxial total lengths 95–103. Ratio of (THL: BL) 1: 5. There are 39–43 testes per segment with the following distribution: 4–5 postporal, 13–15 preporal and 22–23 aporal. The genital pore is 53–57% from the posterior extremity of segments. The ovary is of characteristic form and extent as in the type specimens from R. eglanteria, being slightly asymmetrical (more asymmetrical in type specimens) indicating that A. floridensis is more correctly considered a category 6 than a category 5 species. The discovery of A. floridensis from R. texana is a new host record from a new locality (the western Gulf of Mexico).

description: We propose a concept of a superconducting photodiode - a device that transforms the energy and `spin' of an external electromagnetic field into the rectified steady-state supercurrent and develop a microscopic theory describing its properties. For this, we consider a two-dimensional thin film cooled down below the temperature of superconducting transition with the injected dc supercurrent and exposed to an external electromagnetic field with a frequency smaller than the superconducting gap. As a result, we predict the emergence of a photoexcited quasiparticle current, and, as a consequence, oppositely oriented stationary flow of Cooper pairs. The strength and direction of this photoinduced supercurrent depend on (i) such material properties as the effective impurity scattering time and the nonequilibrium quasiparticles' energy relaxation time and (ii) such electromagnetic field properties as its frequency and polarization.

Eremias

description: Eremias Fitzinger, 1834
A species-rich genus containing currently 35 species (Uetz 2013). The distribution spans from E Europe to E China and Korea, most species occur in Central Asia, China, and on the Iranian Plateau. The genus is traditionally divided into five subgenera as proposed by Szczerbak (1974): Eremias, Ommateremias, Pareremias, Rhabderemias, Scapteira. This division is supported by the hemipenial morphology (Arnold 1986b), but species assignment to individual subgenera remains inconsistent (Arnold 1986b; Anderson 1999; Guo et al. 2011). In addition, Scapteira and Rhabderemias were reconstructed as polyphyletic (Guo et al. 2011). Many phylogenetic studies failed to find sister group to Eremias. The genus was recognized as a part of a clade containing the Palearctic genera Acanthodactylus, Mesalina, Omanosaura and Ophisops and the Sub-Saharan Adolfus and Holaspis on the basis of both morphological and genetic data (Arnold 1989; Mayer & Pavlicev 2007; Hipsley et al. 2009). Latest phylogeny of all squamate reptiles (Pyron et al. 2013) recovered Eremias as a sister to the South African lacertids.

description: Genus Ambiaxius Sakai & de Saint Laurent, 1989
Remarks. Ambiaxius was originally established by Sakai & de Saint Laurent (1989) to accommodate two species, Calocaris alcocki McArdle, 1900 and Calocaris aberrans Bouvier, 1905. Kensley (1989) also described a new genus Callistocaris for Calocaris alcocki, but his paper was published two months later than Sakai & de Saint Laurent’s work. Thus Callistocaris is a junior objective synonym of Ambiaxius. Since then, four new species have been described in this genus, A. franklinae Sakai, 1994 from Australia, A. japonicus Kensley, 1996 from Japan, A. foveolatus Kensley, Lin & Yu, 2000 from Taiwan, and A. surugaensis Sakai & Ohta, 2005 from Japan. Sakai & Ohta (2005) proposed a new genus, Briancaris, for A. aberrans, A. japonicus (type species) and A. foveolatus. Sakai & Ohta (2005) argued that Briancaris differs from Ambiaxius in the short, triangular rostrum with denticulate lateral margins and the structure of the second pleopod. In Ambiaxius, the rostrum is slender and upturned, bearing one or two tiny lateral spines. With regard to the second pleopod, they noted that “distal segment of endopod enlarged with a boot-shaped appendix masculina with a small protrusion, on which is a small appendix interna, that is slightly distant from basal segment” for Ambiaxius, while that “distal segment of the endopod enlarged with a small appendix interna, which is attached close to the proximal segment basally” for Briancaris. However, these conditions are barely distinguishable. Except for the shape of the rostrum, the diagnostic features of Ambiaxius and Briancaris are virtually identical, and thus the status of Briancaris is questionable. Sakai & Ohta (2005) gave the confusing comment that “Kensley’s Callistocaris is obviously different from Sakai & de Saint Laurent’s (1989) Ambiaxius ”, even though these two genera were based on the same type species (i.e., Calocaris alcocki). We prefer to synonymize Briancaris with Ambiaxius.

NEOTYPE. ZIL 13205, designated by Szczerbak (1974).
TYPE LOCALITY. “Irtin australiorem, rarius circa M. Caspium” [= southern Irtin, ... Caspian Sea, W Kazakhstan] as given by Pallas (1773); Ural and Emba rivers according to Szczerbak (1974).
DISTRIBUTION. Wide range spanning from the Eastern Europe through Central Asia to NW China and Mongolia. Southern limit formed by Transcaucasia and N Iran.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 91. Confirmed records are from West and East Azerbaijan and Ardabil Prov. Records from Shahrud, Semnan Prov. by Bedriaga (1879) and from “Kuhistan” by Werner (1936) as well as specimens deposited in the ZMB museum allegedly from Tehran are doubtful and require confirmation.
HABITAT. Ahmadzadeh et al. (2008) collected specimens in a harvested barley field. Other reports are from unforested ridges with scanty herbaceous vegetation (Sobolevsky 1929).
REMARKS. The subspecific status of the Iranian populations is not clear. Geographically closest and the potential candidates are E. a. deserti Gmelin known from the E Transcaucasia and E. a. transcaucasica Darevsky from Armenia. The only record since Anderson (1999) was provided by Ahmadzadeh et al. (2008) who, however, did not determine the animal to any subspecies.

Material examined. Buthan: Pele La, 01.iii.2002, 3200 m asl., one female (ZMAN), dissected and slide mounted in Hoyer's fluid.
Morphology. Female: Idiosoma (ventral view: Fig. 9) L 862, W 669. One pair of fused dorsocentral plates (Dc-3) (Fig. 8). Coxal field: L between anterior end of first coxae and posterior end of fourth coxae 428; L of genital valves 155; genital valves not covering the genital acetabula; posterior acetabula rounded; L of acetabula 1–3: 58-65-33. Capitulum (Fig. 13) L 218; chelicera (Fig. 14) L 232, H 56, L/H ratio 4.1, basal segment L 167, claw L 68, ratio chelicerae basal segment/claw L 2.5; palp (Fig. 12) total L 560, dL and %L (in parentheses, given as % of total L): P-1 25 (4.5), P-2 128 (22.9), P-3 163 (29.1), P-4 200 (35.7), P-5 44 (7.9); P-2/P-4 ratio 0.64; Ambulacrum (Fig. 11) with slightly developed claw blade, claws with clawlet. L of IV–L (Fig. 10) segments: IV – 125, 125, 139, 259, 265, 219.
Remarks. Due to the presence of glandularia on Cx-3, P-2 with a long ventrodistal projection, and excretory pore surrounded by sclerotized ring, the specimen from Bhutan shows a general conformity with Sperchon indicus Kumar et al. Differences (in parentheses data taken from Kumar et al. 2007) are found in its major idiosoma and gnathosoma dimensions (e.g., S. indicus idiosoma L 694, genital valves L 124, capitulum L 158–181, palp total L 515–544). Furthermore the specimen from Bhutan has P-4 less elongated and the claw blade less developed (strongly developed in S. indicus – see Kumar et al. 2007). The variability of further specimens from Bhutan needs to be known and studies on male specimens of S. indicus are necessary before we can assess the taxonomic status of this specimen.
Distribution. India. New for Bhutan.

description: Swarupella Shrivastava, 1981
The genus Swarupella was created to accommodate the species S. andamanensis (Shrivastava, 1981) first collected on the Andaman Islands and later at Motikund, Narsingharh in Madhya Pradesh (Rao 1985). “The chief distinguishing feature of the species is the presence of the diminutive spines at both the extremities (of the floatoblast). Along the suture these spines continue posteriorly as a sutural frill” (Shrivastava 1981).
Since the discovery of S. andamanensis, sutural spines have been noticed in other species as well, including S. divina Wood, 2006 and S. kasetsartensis Wood, 2006. Small sutural projections have also been described in Plumatella jariensis Wood & Okamura, 2017 and Plumatella kisalensis Wood, 2020, although these resemble little knobs rather than spines.
I find that the minute spines in Swarupella species do not dissolve in alkali, suggesting that they are actual extensions of the chitinous periblast and not derived from secondary materials. Unfortunately, their shrinkage and distortion upon drying makes them difficult to examine by traditional scanning electron microscopy. In S. andamanensis the spines appear to be about the same length along the entire suture, but they project outwards more at the sharp curvature at each end of the statoblast.
For now, I consider Swarupella to be an acceptable genus for grouping certain plumatellid species. Whether the genus has any phylogenetic significance is yet to be determined.

Material examined. SWEDEN. Skåne: Åbrolla, Osby (56°26′N 14°08′E), 142 m, 26–29.viii.2016 (2 ♂); 11– 14.ix.2015 (1 ♀) (NHMD).
Taxonomic notes. Male mid femur simple, in basal two-thirds with a dense row of posteroventral setulae; mid tibia in distal half with comb-rows of short, coarse anteroventral and posteroventral setulae; hind femur (Fig. 3A) with extensive row of long, pale posteroventral setulae.
Distribution. A widespread Holarctic species. Scandinavian distribution according to Chvála (1975) is restricted to the Baltic coast of Finland, but it was added to the list of Swedish Brachycera by Struwe (2007). Records from provinces in both Central and South Sweden are mapped in http://artfakta.artdatabanken.se/. The collecting dates suggest that D. assimilis is active in late summer.

LECTOTYPE. ZMB 9329, designated by Szczerbak (1974).
TYPE LOCALITY. “Karman et Gedrosia” [= Kerman and Baluchistan]; restricted to Saidabad [Zeydabad], SW of Kerman by Smith (1935), but later Szczerbak (1974) designated a lectotype from Kerman, although elsewhere in his paper (p. 245) he still gives Saidabad as the type locality.
DISTRIBUTION. E Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 92. All provinces east of the 55° meridian and south of the Kopet Dagh. The record by Mozaffari & Parham (2007) from Esfahan Prov. and that in the Vienna museum (NHMW 36761) from Kashan are dubious. More plausibly they could be a misidentified E. andersoni distributed in the area and having the same dorsal colour pattern of alternating dark and light longitudinal stripes.
HABITAT. Sandy or gravelly plains or silty alluvia with scattered steppe shrubby vegetation (Acacia, Alhagi, Artemisia, Tamarix) under which these lizards seek refuge.

Varunella

description: Varunella Wiebach, 1974
The genus Varunella was proposed by Wiebach (1974) to include species resembling Hyalinella but producing sessoblasts as well as floatoblasts. Colonies are described as growing very close to the substrate, the ectocyst thick, soft and never chitinous, the colony massive in the center but dendritic around the periphery, agglutination among the branches strongly pronounced. Included in this genus are the Indian species Varunella coronifera Wiebach, 1974 and Varunella indorana Wiebach, 1974 as well as Varunella gemmata Wiebach, 1976 from South Africa.
Wiebach seems to make a distinction between his Varunella species and those bryozoans in which the ectocyst is clear and colorless but not necessarily thick and “hard-gelatinous.” A more recent collection of V. coronifera suggests the possibility that the ectocyst may not always be very thick (Nimbalkar et al., not yet published). Moreover, many other species share these features, including Plumatella fungosa, P. vaihiriae, and all of the known Rumarcanella species. Whether the features attributed to Varunella exhibit any variability is difficult to assess, given the small amount of available material. At this time the validity of Varunella seems doubtful.

(Figs. 15–20)
Material examined. Bhutan: Dochu La, 06.iv.2002, 2800 m asl., two females (ZMAN), one of them dissected and slide mounted in Hoyer's fluid.
Morphology. Female: Idiosoma (ventral view: Fig. 16) L 856, W 650; dorsal shield (Fig. 15): central plate L 556, W 469, L/W ratio 1.19, single median anterior plate L 144; capitular bay L 172, Cx-1 total L 294, Cx-1 medial L 122, Cx-2+3 medial 62; ratio Cx-1 L/Cx-2+3 medial L 2.4; Cx-1 medial L/Cx-2+3 medial L 4.7; genital field L/W 181/147, L/W ratio 1.2; distance genital field–excretory pore 247, genital field–caudal idiosoma margin 308; capitulum (Fig. 19) ventral L 167; chelicera L (Fig. 20) 196, H 26 L/H ratio 7.6, basal segment L 161, claw L 38, L claw/basal segment ratio 2.4; palp (Figs. 17–18) total L 206, dL and %L (in parentheses, given as % of total L): P-1 32 (15.5), P-2 61 (29.6), P-3 43 (20.9), P-4 53 (25.7), P-5 17 (8.3); P- 2/P-4 ratio 1.15.
Remarks. T. tripeltatus is similar to T. okadai Imamura (known from Japan) due to the short median suture of Cx-2+3 (<0.5 the length of the genital flap) (Wiles 1997). Dorsolateral platelets are large and broad in T. tripeltatus but small and narrow in T. okadai. The specimen from Bhutan differs from the specimen from India (in parentheses data taken from Walter 1928) in its minor idiosomal and capitular dimensions (e.g., idiosoma L/W 1065/720, central plate L/W 690/525, capitulum L 220, chelicera L 225, palp total L 223).

Distribution. A Central and Eastern European species described by Kovalev (1972) from NW Russia, by far the most common species in Åbrolla, on several occasions observed and collected in numbers on sunlit trunks of spruce and birch. Chvála (1975) did not include the species in his revision of Scandinavian Drapetis, but it was recorded from Norway by Jonassen (2009) and from northern Sweden by Hellqvist (2013). A distribution map (http://artfakta. artdatabanken.se) shows recent finds of D. completa from several provinces in Sweden, but the present record is seemingly the first from the province of Skåne. The species is not yet recorded from Finland (Kahanpää 2014).
