Eudicella nana

description: Comparison of Eudicella nana with E. darwiniana
Material examined. Eudicella darwiniana: 1 Ƌ holotype, Ghana, Ashanti, 1880; 3 Ƌ, 4 ♀, Togo, Forêt d´Imoussa, X.2013; 4 Ƌ, Togo, Kloto, Forêt de Missahoe, XI.2011; 1 Ƌ, 1 ♀, Ghana, Kibi, RCI Border, XII.2003. Eudicella nana: see above for details of the type series.
Eudicella darwiniana resembles E. nana morphologically and is regarded as its hypothesized sister species, pending a phylogenetic analysis. Both species possess a narrowly forked clypeal horn with partial green iridescence and black tips. The horn of E. nana is less elongate than in E. darwiniana. The horn of E. nana elevates with a steeper angle than in E. darwiniana (Figs. 17–18). The elytra of E. nana are yellow with a marked darkgreen discal band (Figs. 1–2). In E. darwiniana, the elytra are either entirely green (except for the humeral and apical calli, which are dark-green or black) or yellowish-green with a more-or-less developed, green discal band (Figs. 9–10). The humeral maculae are usually more elongate in E. nana. The male labiae are very similar, deeply punctate in males (Figs. 4, 12) but distinct in females. The labial surface in female E. nana is rugose with deep punctures (Fig. 5), in contrast to female E. darwiniana, which do not possess the wavy ridges (Fig. 13). In both species, the pygidia are similar within sexes (Figs. 7–8, 15–16). The membranous wings in E. nana are tawny with a narrow black bar near its tips (Fig. 3). In E. darwiniana, the wings are black with tawny tips (Fig. 11). The parameres are very similar in the two species (Figs. 6, 14). The two species are allopatric.

Chlaenius (Pachydinodes) hamifer Chaudoir, 1856
Chlaenius bihamatus Chaudoir, 1856 a junior synonym of this species was described from specimens originating in Hong Kong, and is listed under that name by Chaudoir (1876b) and Bates (1889). Andrewes (1919a) questioned whether these specimens originated from Hong Kong "when C. bihamatus was described (Bull. Mosc. 1856, iii, 210). Chaudoir said he had received two examples taken by Capt. Boys in N. India, and another from Tranquebar; C. hamifer (I.c. 209) was said to come from Java. In the Monograph (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1876, 62) he tells us that he has two examples of C. bihamatus from Java and one from Hong-Kong, while G. hamifer now inhabits " toute la presqu'ile Cisgangetique." It is evident to me that in 1856 he transposed the localities, but no word of this appears in the Monograph, where the necessary rectification is made.Listed as occuring in Hong Kong by Saha et al.

Eucidella nana can be confused with species with green body colour and yellow elytra with green discal bands. Eucidella morgani (sensu De Palma 2009) resembles E. nana but is only known to occur in West Africa (Ivory Coast, Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, Gabon). Eudicella pauperata and E. grallii are sympatric with E. nana. Large to small-sized male specimens of the former species can be easily distinguished from E. nana by the shape and development of the clypeal horn. The horns of the similar taxa are often more elongate and do not possess green iridescence at the clypeal base (Figs. 19–20). Furthermore, the horns of large E. grallii specimens can possess denticulate branches (Fig. 20). In contrast to its resembling species, E. nana females have strongly rugose labia. In female E. pauperata the labiae are deeply puncture, sometimes slightly rugose. Eucidella grallii females possess deeply punctate labiae.

New record for Hong Kong. These specimens differ significantly from Morita's (1994) redescription of B. (B.) fukiensis Jedlièka 1937, and Sundukov (2008) description of B. (B.) peltatus Panzer, 1796, the only two species in the subgenus recorded in China, but agree perfectly with Habu's description and illustrations, including male tarsi and genitalia of this species. It was described from and to date confined to Ishigaki Island, one of the southernmost island of Japan, 1,000 km northeast of Hong Kong, where it was caught by light trap. Interestingly all specimens from Hong Kong are from Lantau Island and all caught by light trap. It would be interesting to find this species on the mainland or whether this is a true island species.

Type specimen: male; type locality: Mangshan, Yizhang, Hunan; location of type specimen: Museum of Hebei University.
Supplementary description. Male genitalia sclerotized, with a pair of hook-like processes, stout at base, subapical areas expanded, apices acute (Fig. 2A, D).
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, Mangshan, Yizhang, Hunan, 23 August, 2018, collected by Yarui Xin. Other specimens: 1♂, Nanling, Ruyuan, Guangdong, 26 August, 2022, collected by Lidan Zhang; 1♂, Yaoshang, Shiqian, Guizhou, 12 August, 2023, collected by Yang Wang.
Discussion. Male cercus of the specimen (collected from Guizhou) has a slightly longer lamellate expansion on inner surface of the middle and apical area of subanal plate extends, bearing a pair of conical processes, apices rounded (Fig. 2E). The other features are very similar to the holotype of Alloteratura (Alloteratura) flabellata Xin & Shi, 2019. As there is only one male specimen (collected from Guizhou), it temporarily belongs to the species (Fig. 2D–F).

description: This study examined whether the six trait-like dimensions of psychological well-being (e.g., autonomy and environmental mastery) moderate the effects of unemployment on various facets of subjective well-being (i.e., life satisfaction, satisfaction with life domains, and experienced mood). Further, re-employment expectations during unemployment were investigated as a moderator in this context. The study is based on monthly panel data (Nobservations > 23,000) of two samples of initially employed German jobseekers, who either registered as jobseekers due to (i) mass layoffs or plant closures (N = 552) or (ii) other reasons (N = 988). The results indicate substantial interindividual differences in unemployment-related changes across all examined subjective well-being facets. However, dimensions of psychological well-being did generally not moderate these changes. Only in one unemployment context, environmental mastery was positively related to unemployment-related mood changes. Good re-employment expectations were related to increases in several well-being facets (e.g., leisure satisfaction) compared to being employed, whereas poor re-employment expectations were associated with particularly detrimental effects of unemployment in terms of life satisfaction. Overall, the study provides further evidence that (perceived) contextual features of unemployment seem to be particularly relevant for how individuals experience unemployment, whereas internal (coping) resources only seem to play a negligible role.

description: Insect meals, which have emerged as a sustainable protein source in animal nutrition, are also rich in calcium and phosphorus and thus might be a valuable source for supplying these minerals in farm animals. The aim of the present study was to determine the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of these minerals from commercially available partially defatted meals of Hermetia illucens (HI) larvae in growing pigs. According to a difference approach, twenty male growing pigs with an average body weight of around 30 kg were divided into five groups of four pigs each and fed either a basal diet or the basal diet blended with one of three HI meals or monocalcium phosphate (MCP, as a positive control) for 14 days. Calcium and phosphorus ATTD were determined, by using the indicator method with acid-insoluble ash as an indigestible marker. Calcium ATTD in average of the three HI meals was 71.2%, ranging from 60.7% to 77.0%, and the ATTD of phosphorus was 80.6%, with a range of 70.8% to 88.9%. Calcium and phosphorus ATTD of MCP were 95.0% and 82.8%, respectively. The study shows that calcium and phosphorus from HI meals exhibit a relatively high ATTD in pigs, similar to that observed from inorganic mineral sources. Thus, HI meal could substantially contribute to the supply of calcium and phosphorus to pigs, thus opening the possibility to conserve scarce minerals resources such as phosphate-rich rocks for pig nutrition.

The vigilance of a doctor of any specialization regarding this condition is especially important, since timely prescribed therapy improves the quality of life of patients and long-term prognosis, preventing the development of life-threatening complications.

Pseudognathaphanus punctilabris (MacLeay 1825)
Bates (1886 & 1889) list Pseudognathaphanus dispellens (Walker, 1859) as occurring in Hong Kong. Kataev (2002) pointed out that P. dispellens is confined to Sri Lanka and the very similar P. punctilabris is the species with the larger distribution covering eastern Asia.
Specimens collected in Hong Kong were determined using Kataev’s (2002) key. Frontal impressions were present, a character typical of Pseudognathaphanus, but these beetles were possibly distinct from P. punctilabris (MacLeay 1825) in the male genitalia, as described by Kataev (2002). Using Andrewes (1920b) the specimens key to Pseudognathaphanus rufitactor (Bates, 1892), but they seem to differ from both Andrewes (1920b) and Bates (1892) in having antennomere 3 black; elytral stria very weakly punctate and being slightly larger in size.
