Philaenus

description: Genus Philaenus Stål, 1864
The species of this genus include the most polymorphic of Auchenorrhyncha (Drosopoulos, 2003, Drosopoulos et al., 2010). Eight species are now recognized, including some that have been described by careful study of the widely distributed Philaenus spumarius (L.) (e.g. Abdul-Nour & Lahoud, 1995; Drosopoulos & Remane, 2000; Remane & Drosopoulos, 2001). Tishechkin (2013) described two new Philaenus species from Iran, but he did not find Ph. spumarius among the specimens he studied.

(Type species: Soesilarishius amrishi Makhan, 2007, by original designation); World Spider Catalog 2023 — NEW SYNONYMY.
Diagnosis. Species included in this genus are small, brownish South American litter or trunk dwelling euophryines with reduced spiraled emboli (for further notes, see Galiano 1963; Ruiz 2011, 2013; Zhang & Maddison 2015; Ruiz & Sobrinho 2016). In that sense, Rhyphelia resembles the unrelated Popcornella from the Caribbean islands, but Popcornella has a short retrolateral tibial apophysis in the male palp (larger in Rhyphelia) and shortened copulatory ducts in the epigyne (longer in Rhyphelia) (See Zhang & Maddison, 2012b: figs 219–223).
Phylogenetic position. According to Zhang & Maddison (2015), this group (included as “ Soesilarishius ” in the analyses) was found as part of a Neotropical clade gathering other genera, such as Amphidraus, Marma, Tylogonus Simon, 1902, Mopiopia Simon, 1902, Saphrys Zhang & Maddison, 2015, Coryphasia, Neonella, Ecuadattus Zhang & Maddison, 2012 and Ilargus. The similar morphology present in some Rhyphelia and in Popcornella (body size, coloration, reduced structures in male palp and epigyne) represent, hence, convergences, since these genera are not closely related (see Zhang & Maddison 2015).
Note. Males of two species (R. variegata and R. brevistylus sp. nov.) have projected endites (Fig. 1B) and developed tegular lobe, both absent or reduced in the remaining species of the genus. However, these structures are extremely variable in Euophryini and were considered not enough to predict the independence of both genera, given the diversity of the lineage. Unpublished DNA sequences of an undescribed species from Ecuador closely related to the type species, R. variegata, places the Ecuadorian species with the remaining species of the lineage sampled in molecular studies (R. amrishi, R. micacea and R. ruizi; see species authors below) (W. Maddison, pers. comm). Despite several species already being described, analyses of Brazilian collections show that this lineage is one of the largest ground-dwelling spider groups in South America in terms of species number, with many more species awaiting formal description. Given the similarities, the large number of genera in the tribe, the close relationship between type species demonstrated with DNA sequences and, most importantly, to ensure taxonomic stability, we decided to synonymize the two genera herein.

Rhyphelia variegata Simon, 1902: 363 (Male holotype from Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, deposited in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, examined); Simon 1903: 1053, figs 1120–1121; Galiano 1963: 429, pl. XXXIII, figs 10–12; World Spider Catalog 2023.
Diagnosis. The male of R. variegata is similar to that of R. brevistylus sp. nov. by the longer carapace (about 1.5x longer than wide, Figs 1A, 2A; shorter, 1.3–1.4x longer than wide in the remaining species), by the developed tegular lobe (Figs 1C, 3A) and by the spurs on the border of the endites (Fig. 1B). The male of R. variegata differs from that of R. brevistylus by the long embolus, which reaches almost the length of the tegulum (Fig. 1C) (about one third the length of tegulum in R. brevistylus; Fig. 3A). The female is unknown.
Redescription. See Galiano (1963). Herein we give new illustrations of the holotype for comparison (Figs 1A–D).
Distribution. The original description mentions Caracas (Venezuela) as the type locality, but the label states the actual type locality in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Galiano 1963) (Fig. 22).

description: In aircraft engine combustors, incomplete mixing and air cooling give rise to flow inhomogeneities. When accelerated through the nozzle guide vane downstream of the combustor, these inhomogeneities give rise to acoustic waves. This is commonly known as indirect combustion noise. When these sound waves are reflected off the outlet and travel upstream of the combustor, they can lead to thermoacoustic oscillations. To predict indirect noise, models proposed in the literature assume the frequency of impinging disturbances to be small (compact nozzle assumptions). However, in reality, the assumption might not hold; hence, a mismatch in the predicted and experimental results can be observed. First, we present a semi-analytical solution to a non-isentropic nozzle indirect noise model using asymptotic expansion. Second, we show that the indirect noise predictions are sensitive to a small change in the Helmholtz number for a nearly compact nozzle, especially in the subsonic flow regime. We also show the predictions become lesser sensitive as the non-isentropicity increases. This study highlights the importance of non-compact assumptions for the accurate prediction of indirect noise transfer functions and thermoacoustic instability in aeronautical gas turbines.

description: Encoder-decoder foundation models have displayed state-of-the-art performance on a range of autoregressive sequence tasks. This paper proposes a simple and lightweight modification to such systems to control the behaviour according to a specific attribute of interest. This paper proposes a novel inference-efficient approach to modifying the behaviour of an encoder-decoder system according to a specific attribute of interest. Specifically, we show that a small proxy network can be used to find a sample-by-sample perturbation of the encoder output of a frozen foundation model to trigger the decoder to generate improved decodings. This work explores a specific realization of this framework focused on improving the COMET performance of Flan-T5 on Machine Translation and the WER of Whisper foundation models on Speech Recognition. Results display consistent improvements in performance evaluated through COMET and WER respectively. Furthermore, experiments also show that the proxies are robust to the exact nature of the data used to train them and can extend to other domains.

Campsicnemus lobatus

description: The lobatus group
Diagnosis. Species in the Campsicnemus lobatus group are easily distinguished by the spot of color at the apex of the radial portion of the wing (Figs. 5, 6, 8, 9) and/or the small spot at the apex of vein CuA1 (Figs. 7– 9). Species are usually dark in coloration with an almost all black head and thorax while the abdominal tergites may be all dark brown to black or with some yellow patterning on the basal segments. The species in the lobatus group comprise some of the largest species in the genus (4–7 mm in length). This species group is restricted to the Society Islands in French Polynesia and all members are associated with wet, shady seeps. Water-skating Campsicnemus are present in the Marquesas and the Hawaiian Islands where gerrids are absent. Gerrids are present in the Society Islands and it is theorized here that the species in the lobatus group have evolved from the water surface-inhabiting species to shady seep-inhabiting species on the rock walls adjacent to these pools in order to avoid competition and/or predation from the gerrids in the pools below them.
Included species:
borabora Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Bora Bora]).
lobatus Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Moorea]).
paralobatus Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Tahiti]).
rheocrenus Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Tahiti]).
tunoa Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Moorea]).
Remarks. A single female from Taha’a has been examined during this study and may represent an additional new species but until males from Taha’a are collected, its species identification cannot be ascertained.

Campsicnemus zigzag

description: The zigzag group
Diagnosis. Species in the zigzag group are easily distinguished by the distinctive thick, modified seta on the ventroapical third of the mid femur (Figs. 14–18). No other species of Campsicnemus known have this ventral femoral setal modification. Species in this group are some of the smallest in the genus (from 1.0– 2.3 mm in length).
Remarks. The species in this group are endemic to the Society Islands and, except for two species that are both found on Tahiti (C. ogradyi, n. sp. and C. zigzag, n. sp.), there appears to be one species per island. If the one-island-one-species formula hold true for the remainder of the Society Islands, further collecting should reveal species of this group on Moorea and Bora Bora.
Although some species were collected in association with rocks in or near streams, they are also found in sweeps of vegetation and are probably more associated with the riparian areas of streams rather than the close association with wet seeps of members of the lobatus group from the Society Islands or actual water skaters of the members of the Campsicnemus described from the Marquesas.
Included species:
mylloseta Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Huahine]).
ogradyi Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Tahiti]).
ostlinx Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Raiatea]).
tahaanus Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Tahaa]).
zigzag Evenhuis, n. sp. (Society Islands [Tahiti]).
