description: Baeus melanocephalus Araujo & Vivallo new species
(Figs. 10–12)
Diagnosis. This species can be easily recognized because of the distinct coloration: female with brownish head and with yellowish mesosma and metasoma. Baeus menalocephalus new species is the most similar to B. itatiaiaensis new species sharing antennal club> 2 times as long as wide and differing from it by head wider than the metasoma and by A1 smaller than the sum of A2–A6.
Description. Holotype female: Body length: 0.73 mm.
Body yellow with head and distal end of the antennal club brown.
Head 1.40 times as wide as high (frontal view), 1.36 times as wide as mesosoma, 1.02 times as wide as metasoma (dorsal view) and 3.31 times as wide as malar space (lateral view). Distal edge of the clypeus squareshaped. POD 20.45 times as long as OOD. Interorbital distance 1.07 times as long as the width of the compound eye (frontal view). A2 1.56 times as long as wide. Antennal club without traces of sutures marking lines of separation of clavomeres, 2.50 times as long as wide, and 1.74 times as long as the sum of A2–A6. A2–A6 1.44 times as long as A1.
Mesoscutum transverse, 1.43 times as wide as long.
Metasoma 1.34 times as wide as mesosoma. T2 3.22 times as wide as long, largest among metasomal tergites. Distal margin of T7 triangular.
Male: Unknown.
Variation: Body length of paratype: 0.72 mm. Color of the mesosoma and metasoma of paratype: brownish yellow.
Type material. Holotype female: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Parque Nacional de Itatiaia, 18.XII. 2011, 850 m., Araujo C. coll. Pitfall (MNRJ). Paratype: 1 female with the same data of the holotype, collected at 1450 m (MNRJ).
Etymology. The specific name of this new species was formed with the Greek words “ melan ” meaning black and “ cephalus ” meaning head, referring to the darkish head of this species.

Diagnosis. — Head as figure 104. Mandible bidentate. Clypeus subtrapezoidal. Frons somewhat strongly coriaceous, punctures large, shallow. Vertex badly convex, corners rounded. Metasomal tergite II with pair of large, deep, and subtriangular lateral depressions, distant each other 1.5 X their diameter, nearly touching the posterior margin of tergite I, with inner and outer margins hairy, with an inner large pit, with tuft of hairs (Fig. 105).
Material examined. — HOLOTYPE: male, MEXICO, Mexico, Ixtapan la Sal, 5,500 feet, 9.VIII.1954, J. G. Chillcott col. (CNCI, type nº 7,550).
Comments. — This species is known only from the type, and its genitalia is missing, but Evans (1962) draw it, which is peculiar by having aedeagus with elongate ventral ramus and apical lobes of dorsal body. This species belongs to bicavatus species­group, but here the tergal processes are subtriangular, not elliptical.
bisulcus species­group
Diagnosis. — Male. Metasomal tergite II with two median horizontal and linear hairy tufts and nearly touching each other placed in a shallow depression.
Comments. — There are two species here, D. horizontalis Azevedo, 1999 from South America and D. bisulcus Ashmead, 1893 from Caribe.

Kurtguentheria

description: Genus Kurtguentheria Gorochov, 1996
Type species: K. laciniosa Gorochov, 1996 (Namibia: Kamaggas).
Remarks:This genus (as well as all other completely apterous representatives of Gryllini) lacks tympanal organs and acoustic signalisation, which are very characteristic of the majority of Gryllini. Kurtguentheria seems to be most closely related to Cophogryllus, as the both genera have a possible synapomorphy in the structure of the ectoparameres of the male genitalia: each of the ectoparameres are divided into two sclerotised parts articulated with each other (Figs 2, 7, 11, 16, 19, 21, 24, 27). Such ectoparamere may originate from the solid trilobate ectoparamere, typical of the majority of Gryllini: the distal part of the latter ectoparamere is divided into two processes; the medial of these processes together with the ectoparameral mesal lobe (Fig. 2: m) and a sclerotised ribbon between them are separated from the rest of the ectoparamere by a narrow membranous interspace (the sclerotised parts form a medial sclerite named here as second ectoparamere); the rest of the ectoparamere forms a lateral sclerite (first ectoparamere) which preserves the articulation of its proximal part with the endoparamere as in hypothetical general ancestor of Gryllini. Kurtguentheria and Cophogryllus are clearly distinguished from each other by some other characteristics of male genitalia: the additional loops of the spermatophore sac in the first genus, and the presence of a large proximal apodeme of endopameres in the second genus. The body size in different representatives of Kurtguentheria is diverse; the length of the ovipositor may be widely variable; the coloration varying from very light to contrastingly spotted (a coloration possibly connected with life on sandy and/or salty soils).
Species included: Type species (Figs 10–13); K. simonsi (Otte, 1987) (Western Cape, Simon’s Town) (Fig. 5); K. macroxipha sp. n. (Figs 1–4); K. brachyxipha sp. n. (Figs 6– 9); possibly K. fasciatus (Walker, 1869) (“Natal”) (Fig. 14). The latter species is insufficiently studied. Otte (1987) examined the type specimen (male), but he did not redescribe it, except for a drawing of the distal part of the genitalia in profile. This drawing does not show the structure of the endoparameres and spermatophore sac. The inclusion of the latter species in Kurtguentheria is thus questionable (Gorochov 1996).

description: Pselnophorus Wallengren, 1881
Pselnophorus Wallengren, 1881: 96.
Crasimetis Meyrick, 1890: 484, 489.
Type species: Alucita brachydactyla Kollar, 1832.
Diagnosis. Gielis (1993, 1996) indicated that Pselnophorus resembles Pterophorus Schäffer and Oidaematophorus Wallengren, and that their differences lie in venation only. During our study, we found more differences among these three genera. First, the cleft in the forewing of Pselnophorus is from one-third, while it is from the middle or near the base in Pterophorus and Oidaematophorus. Secondly, the marking on forewing in Pselnophorus is white mixed with grey to greyish brown, while in Pterophorus it is white, scattered with some black to blackish brown spots, and in Oidaematophorus it is darker, mixed with blackish brown to black spots. Moreover, in Pterophorus all lobes of the forewing and hindwing are very slender, needle-like.
In his revision of the Pselnophorus complex, Arenberger (1990) presented that Pselnophorus is similar to Gypsochares Meyrick except that R5 is from the base of R 4 in Pselnophorus, but from 1/3 to 1/2 of R 4 in Gypsochares. In this study, we found that the members of Pselnophorus are usually larger, and that their forewing markings are brighter than those of Gypsochares.
Description. Head (Fig. 4) scales appressed, without obvious frontal tuft. Labial palpus upcurved, slen- der. Antenna with dense ciliae. Spurs of hindleg with basal scale-brush, lateral spur shorter than medial spur. All lobes of forewing without anal angle. Forewing (Fig. 5): R1 absent, R2 free, R4 stalked with R5; CuA1 from basal 1/3 of M3 on second lobe, CuA2 from beyond cell. Hindwing without “scale tooth”; third lobe with two veins; all lobes very narrow and pointed.
Male genitalia: Uncus tapered, about as long as tegumen. Tegumen arched. Valvae asymmetrical. Sacculus with prominent thorns or spines. Saccus narrow. Phallus somewhat curved, with or without lateral spine; cornutus absent.
Female genitalia: Ostium bursae and antrum symmetrical, centrally or laterally located. Ductus bursae simple, without sclerotized segments or ridges. Corpus bursae spherical to elongately spherical, without signum.
Host plants. Asteraceae: Mycelis muralis L., Prenanthes purpurea L. and Lapsana communis L. (Gielis, 1993, 1996).
Distribution. Palaearctic, Oriental, Afrotropical and Nearctic regions.

Baeus morenus

description: Baeus morenus Araujo & Vivallo new species
(Figs. 13–15 and 17)
Diagnosis. This species is similar to Baeus leucophthalmus new species by the presence of dense pilosity on the dorsal surface of the body and by the triangular distal margin of the clypeus. Both species differ in body proportions, especially the relationship between POD and OOD, and by the length of the clypeus, two times shorter in B. morenus new species than in B. leucophthalmus new species
Description. Holotype female: Body length: 0.61 mm.
Body brown. All legs with coxa and trochanter yellow, femur and tibia brown with yellow distal end. Tarsomeres brown with yellow tarsal claws. Dorsal side of head, mesosoma and metasoma slightly darker than lateral and ventral body sides. A1 with brown basal half and pale yellow distal half. A2 brown with yellow apex. A3 brown. A4–A6 light yellow. Antennal club brown.
Head 1.17 times as wide as high (frontal view), 1.27 times as wide as mesosoma (dorsal view) and 2.96 times as long as malar space (lateral view). Distal edge of the clypeus short and triangular (Fig. 17). Interorbital distance 1.3 times as long as the width of the compound eye (frontal view). POD 11.92 times as long as OOD. A1 1.11 times as long as sum of A2–A6. A2 1.95 times as long as wide. Antennal club without traces of sutures marking line of separation between clavomeres, 2.17 times as long as wide and 1.33 times as long as the sum of A2–A6. Mesoscutum transverse, 1.36 times as wide as long.
Metasoma 1.05 times as wide as head and 1.33 times as wide as mesosoma. T7 with rounded distal edge.
Male: Unknown.
Type material. Holotype female: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Parque Nacional de Itatiaia, 18.VI.2011, 2176 m., Araujo, R. coll. Entomological sweep net (MNRJ).
Etymology. The name of the new species comes from the Latin “ maurus ” referring coloration of the body.

I riverberi della Coscienza di Zeno nei romanzi italiani degli anni Sessanta
Creators: name: Diaco, Francesco
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2024

description: This article analyses the reverberations of La coscienza di Zeno in 1960s Italian novels. If Berto, in Il male oscuro, explicitly declared his debt to Svevo, the research is here extended to texts such as La nuvola di smog, La noia, La vita agra, Il maestro di Vigevano, Memoriale, Capriccio italiano, Il padrone, and Dissipatio H.G. Among the common features, it is worth mentioning the humour and the ineptitude; the irony towards medicine and the ambivalent dialectic health/disease, success/failure; cigarette smoking and the difficult relationship with the father; the references to mental illness, psychoanalysis and dreams; the apocalyptic imagery. The main hypothesis concerns, however, a structural element, namely the use, in the autodiegetic novels of the years of the ‘economic miracle’, of an I-narrator who is not only unreliable, but also idiosyncratic, humoral, and sometimes even neurotic/psychotic. The Zeno model would thus emerge in the ‘many truths and lies’ that these doubly alienated protagonists tell the reader, in their obsessive, apologetic and pseudo-essayistic elucubrations.

≡ Colea parviflora Baker in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 21: 428. 1885.
Typus: MADAGASCAR: Central Madagascar, s.d., Baron 3099 (holo-: K [K001042024]!; iso-: [P00647481]!).
Observations. – Rhodocolea parviflora is distinguished by its rather fine leafy branches, bearing leaves frequently with as few as 3 relatively thin-textured elliptic leaflets, with the terminal leaflet much larger that the lateral ones, rounded at the base and shortly attenuate at the apex, or with 5-7 leaflets. Young growth is finely but sparsely pubescent in some specimens. The inflorescences are borne at the apex of the branches, they are frequently branched to form a dense panicle, with the flowers tending to be borne in clusters. The flowers are rather small, the calyx ca. 3 mm long and acutely lobed, the corolla ca. 20 mm long, apparently predominantly pink. The species was originally described from “Central Madagascar ”, but we now include material from the Moramanga region at ca. 900 m elevation, and from Betampona Reserve at mid-elevation.

description: Subgenus Cacoplistes s. str.
Type species: Cachoplistus brunnerianus Saussure, 1877
As per literature, the nominotypic subgenus reportedly comprises three species including: Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) brunneranius Saussure, 1877, Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) indicus (Chopard, 1935), and Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) proximus Gorochov, 2003. The type species was described on the basis of a single female being quite similar to the other two species. The morphological variations and differences in genitalic structure between the species Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) indicus and Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) proximus and likewise, the phenotypic plasticity notable with Cacoplistes (Cacoplistes) brunneranius have been described by Gorochov (2003).

Discophorellus Tsaur & Hsu, 1991:21.
Type species: Discophorellus major Tsaur & Hsu, 1991, by original designation.
Description. The distinctive characters used by Tsaur et al. (1991) are modified as follows.
Body size. Moderately large cixiid species (5.4–8.5 mm).
Head and thorax. Head including eyes distinctly narrower than pronotum. Vertex much wider (more than 2.5 times) at basal emargination than at apex, with median carina and elevated lateral carinae, disc concave, bearing a reversed Y-shaped ridge touching transverse carina of frons at middle point, fusing with lateral carinae of vertex at apical parts, thus forming two oblique, trapezoid foveae. Frons narrowest at base, about 0.5 times width between endpoints of its lateral carinae, widest at level of antennae, disc not compressed, with elevated median and lateral carinae. Median ocellus present. Frontoclypeal suture strongly produced dorsad to middle. Clypeus tricarinate. Pronotum short, with median and intermediate carinae, carinate laterally. Mesonotum tricarinate. Forewings slender, smoothly widening towards apex, with 12 apical cells and 7 subapical cells; Sc+ RP forked basad of fork CuA1+CuA2, r-m crossvein basad of fork MA+MP, two indistinct and incomplete subapical rows of cross veins, RP trifid (rarely quadrifid), M quinquefid; fork PCu+A1 distad of centre of clavus; fork MA1+MA2 basad of fork MP1+MP. Post tibia with about 2–3 lateral and 6–9 apical spines. Second tarsal segment with 9–11 apical spines, usually with platellae, except on lateral pair.
Male genitalia. Pygofer symmetrical, W-shaped, lateral lobes symmetrical in ventral view; lateral lobes angular convex caudad. Medioventral process symmetrical in ventral view, generally wider at base than long in midline. Anal segment tubular and symmetrical in caudal view. Genital styles symmetrical in ventral view. Aedeagus short and stout in lateral view, with four spines; flagellum slender and long.
Distribution. Oriental region.
Remarks. This genus may be easily distinguished from other genera of Cixiini by the presence of 7 subapical cells and 12 apical cells on the forewing, by the vertex much wider (more than 2.5 times) at basal emargination than at apex, by the pygofer W-shaped in ventral view, by the aedeagus with four spines and round disc-like male anal segment in caudal view. The two new species, D. cehengensis sp. nov. (China: Guizhou) and D. transspinus sp. nov. (China: Guizhou), fit into the genus by the presence of the features above.

– Rhodocolea racemosa f. microphylla H. Perrier in Ann. Mus. Colon. Marseille ser. 5, 6: 27. 1938 [nom. inval.].
Observations. – Rhodocolea racemosa is characterised by fine leafy branches, but bearing leaves with a rather variable number of leaflets from (3-)5-11, the leaflets are small (the terminal usually <6 mm long), ovate to ovate-lanceolate, or elliptic, relatively thin-textured, and generally tapered at both ends. The inflorescences are borne mostly on the young growth, rarely cauliflorous, the axes are fine and not markedly flattened, and the flowers tend to be rather regularly spaced giving a racemose appearance. The corolla is variously described as deep pink, reddish or purple, with various markings in the throat. The species occurs at low to mid elevation on various substrates in the Fort Dauphin area in south-east Madagascar, including in littoral forest on sand.

Cophogryllus

description: Genus Cophogryllus Saussure, 1877
Type species: Cophogryllus delalandi Saussure, 1877 (probably only Western Cape).
Remarks: The genus is similar and probably most closely related to Kurtguentheria, but clearly differs from the latter in the structure of male genitalia (see remarks on Kurtguentheria above). The structure of the body in different species of Cophogryllus is more uniform with regard to body size and ovipositor length (the ovipositor is significantly longer than the hind femur in all species with known females) than in Kurtguentheria. However, the male genitalia in Cophogryllus are somewhat more variable than in the latter genus: the first ectoparameres in one of species are provided with an additional articulated process (Figs 15–17: p); the lateral apodemes of the endoparameres can be distinctly developed (Fig. 25) or strongly reduced (Figs 20, 22); there are also great differences in the position of the rami (Figs 20, 22, 25) and the shape of some other structures. Coloration in Cophogryllus is more-or-less spotted, varying from moderately light to rather dark.
Species included: Type species (Figs 21, 22); C. brevicauda (Karny, 1910) (Namibia: Kamaggas) (Figs 18–20); C. maculatus Chopard, 1955 [possibly only Western Cape; the assignment of a female from “Natal” to this species (Chopard, 1955) is problematical] (Figs 15–17); C. pietersburgi sp. n. (Figs 23–25); possibly C. zoutpansbergi Otte, 1987 (Limpopo Prov.: Soutpansberg) (Figs 26–28). The inclusion of the latter species in the genus is questionable, as its ectoparameres have been inadequately studied, and the structure of the endoparameres is unknown. Some other African species, included in this genus by Chopard (1967), are only described for females (C. boromensis Brancsik, 1897 from the region of Zambezi R.; C. fulvus Chopard, 1927 from Tanzania; C. kivuensis Chopard, 1951 from the environs of Kivu L.). Their generic position can only be clarified after a study of additional material.

description: Genus Acophogryllus Gorochov, 1996, stat. n.
Type species: Cophogryllus (Acophogryllus) schultzei Gorochov, 1996 (Namibia: Kamaggas).
Remarks: This genus, originally described as a subgenus of Cophogryllus, is characterised, unlike all other apterous Gryllini of South Africa and Namibia, by the primitive structure of the ectoparameres, which are solid and trilobate (Fig. 30). These features give reason to separate this taxon from Cophogryllus, and to lift its rank up to the generic level. However, this decision is not final, as this taxon comprises only a single species (Figs 29–31), and its female is unknown. More clear differences of Acophogryllus from macropterous and brachypterous Gryllini with primitive ectoparameres may be revealed after the discovery of additional material.

Bilingual and bicultural support for first year Chinese international students: a case study of the first year study-abroad program
Creators: name: Wen, Shuman
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: Chinese international students (CISs) represent the largest population of international students in the U.S., yet research on their experiences often adopts deficit-based perspectives (Heng, 2018; Wang, 2021). The challenges they face were exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic by explicit xenophobia and worsen U.S.-China political relations. To address these challenges, Rise University implemented the First Year Study-at-Home (FYSH) program during the pandemic to support newly admitted CISs who could not study on the U.S. campus. The FYSH program combined in-person classes taught by local instructors in China with online coursework taught by Rise professors. It fostered a cross-cultural environment where students used both English and Mandarin. From Fall 2020 to Fall 2022, the program supported 538 students, achieving a 98% retention rate as students transitioned to on-campus studies in Spring 2023. While the FYSH program was discontinued after the pandemic, it is essential to evaluate it to guide effective programs for international students. This study aims to explore the FYSH program’s impact on students’ learning experiences during the pandemic and in the U.S. campus. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzed qualitative data from twelve retrospective semi-structured interviews and quantitative data from surveys of 347 and 118 students across two academic years, alongside academic performance data. Key findings include: (1) FYSH program effectively addressed most challenges that CISs faced during the program and prepared them to transition to the U.S. campus. (2) Students expressed high satisfaction with the FYSH program, particularly regarding in-person classes. In addition, students leveraged their funds of knowledge, including their native language, culture, and prior learning experiences to navigate their cultural identity and adapt to challenges. (3) FYSH did not effectively address the challenges in preparing students to network with peers from other racial groups and deal with racism after transitioned to the U.S. campus. These findings proved the importance of incorporating Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP) into program design to sustain international students’ cultural and language competencies. Additionally, the study highlights the need to address racism in CSP program design, offering practical and theoretical insights for designing effective academic and cultural programs tailored to international students’ needs.
