Hapalemur griseus ranomafanensis Rabarivola, Prosper, Zaramody, Andriaholinirina & Hauwy, 2007: 48. “Reserve of Ranomafana (approx. 21°20’– 21°21’ S, 47°47’E)” [Madagascar].
Remarks: Although colour details were mentioned in the type description of H. g. ranomafanensis, the status of this form is impossible to determine because at the same time no such details were given for H. g. griseus; the essence of the new subspecies was, in effect, that it is chromosomally polymorphic at Ranomafana and Ambongo (2n = 54, 55 or 56, whereas in H. g. griseus 2n = always 54), while at Ambolomavo, Bemaraha and Vatoalatsaka, also ascribed to this new subspecies, only 2n=56 occurs.
Hapalemur griseus gilberti Rabarivola, Prosper, Zaramody, Andriaholinirina & Hauwy, 2007: 48. “Beanamalao (approx. 47°48’S, 19°50’E), Province Fianarantsoa, Madagascar ”.
Remarks: Elevated to species level by Mittermeier et al. (2008) under the Phylogenetic Species Concept.

Pseudopotto Schwartz, 1996: 8. Type species: Pseudopotto martini Schwartz, 1996.
Remarks: Recognized by Groves (2001, 2005), although Sarmiento (1998) considered the species to fall within the range of Perodicticus. Grubb et al. (2003) were of the opinion that there was insufficient evidence that this name refers to a real, distinct population, and recommended that the name not be included in the taxonomy of African primates.

Galagoides demidoff rondoensis Rowe, 1996: 22. Nomen nudum.
Remarks: Cited as “the subspecies G. d. rondoensis ”, with a reference to Groves (1989), although this taxon is not mentioned in the work cited. Rowe (1996: 22) also illustrated this galago by a photograph with the caption “The rondo [sic] dwarf bush baby was recently discovered in southeast Tanzania and may be a new species.” There is no description or definition that states in words characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon, so G. d. rondoensis Rowe, 1996, is a nomen nudum.
Galagoides rondoensis Honess, 1996: 9. “the tiny Rondo galago … has a very restricted distribution in a few evergreen and coastal forests in southeast Tanzania ”. Galagoides rondoensis Honess in Kingdon, 1997: 106. “Currently known from remnant forest patches on the seaward rim of the Rondo plateau [Tanzania]”. “1997 Galagoides rondoensis Honess, in Kingdon, The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals, p. 106” in Honess & Bearder ('1996 '. African Primates 2:77), with locality of holotype (actually, lectotype) cited (p. 78) as “Rondo Forest Reserve, Lindi District, Lindi Region, Tanzania (10o07'S, 39o23'E)”. [CR]
Remarks: The third citation is dated December 1996 but must have been published after that date, as the part of the volume containing the article quotes several papers published in 1997. The original publication of Galagoides rondoensis and G. udzungwensis (below) has only been identified recently (P. Grubb, unpubl.). Listed as Galago rondoensis by Groves (2001), but as Galagoides rondoensis by Grubb et al. (2003).
Galagoides udzungwensis Honess, 1996: 9. “first found in the lowland evergreen forests of the Udzungwa Mountains [Tanzania]”. Galagoides udzungwensis Honess in Kingdon, 1997: 106. “known from lowlying secondary rainforest growing below the Uzungwa … mountain chain [Tanzania]”. “1997 Galagoides udzungwensis Honess, in Kingdon The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals, pp. 106– 107” in Honess & Bearder ('1996 '. African Primates 2:76), with locality of holotype (actually, lectotype) cited (p. 76) as “Ichima, Kilombero District, Morogoro Region, Tanzania (8o01'S 36o31'E)”.
Remarks: A parallel case to the previous one. Listed as Galago udzungwensis by Groves (2001), but as a synonym of Galagoides zanzibaricus by Grubb et al. (2003).

description: Eremocosta? spinipalpis (Kraepelin 1899)
Datames spinipalpis Kraepelin 1899a: 243 –244.
Eremobates spinipalpis (Kraepelin 1899): Kraepelin 1901: 124. Eremorhax spinipalpis (Kraepelin 1899): Muma 1970: 8. Eremocosta spinipalpis (Kraepelin 1899): Harvey 2002: 451.
Type material. Female holotype from Santa Rosalio, Lower California, México, coll. S. Diguet, Number 33–97 in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France. Type not examined. Male unknown.
Diagnosis. Muma (1970) distinguishes E. spinipalpis from the related E. striatus by the lack of markings on the legs and palpi and the “curved lateral margins of the median caudal opercular notch.”
Measurements. From Muma (1970). TL 30; CL 10.2; CH 5.0; PL 31; PT 3.0; PMT 14.2; LI 18; LIV 30; PPL 4.6.
Distribution. Known from type only. MÉXICO: Baja California Sur. Biome: Sonoran Desert.
Discussion. Since Kraepelin (1899a) described the female only, the placement of this species is speculative as the presence of the male VDC is a critical criterion in determining this genus. The female genital operculum figured by Muma (1970) closely resembles that of Eremocosta striata. Its type locality on the southern Baja Peninsula would seem to separate it from E. striata but until further specimens are examined, the placement will remain in Eremocosta.
Kraepelin (1899a) described the palp as having spines “with width equal to height,” hence the name. Eremocosta formidabilis female also has some short, robust palpal setae that might be interpreted as spines. Muma’s (1987) Eremocosta key does not include E. spinipalpis but his unpublished manuscript (in library of JOB) does.

Eremorhax nigrimanus (Pocock 1895): Brookhart & Muma 1987: 1. Eremocosta nigrimana (Pocock 1895): Harvey 2002: 451.
Type material. Male holotype labeled “? Probably Meshed, Afghanistan, Afghan Delimitation commission” but the specimen may be mislabeled as suggested by the “?” on the label (also see Muma 1970, 1976). Recorded specimens: known from type only (BNHM #1952.10.17.20). We were able to view photographs of the type specimen.
Discussion. The status of this species remains uncertain since no eremobatids are known from the Old World. The type specimen has the VDC diagnostic for the genus Eremocosta. Therefore, the placement in this genus seems to be correct. From the photos of the type, the specimen appears to have a VDC extending more than half the length of the fixed finger. The movable finger dentition can be described as MP-no MSM-MM; distinct MPL. If we are correct that the species belongs to Eremocosta, then it would be the only species lacking a MSM. Because the type has the VDC diagnostic for the genus, we leave it in Eremocosta; however, like Muma, we doubt the veracity of the locality. The “?” on the label also supports the uncertainty of the locale. It may represent a new species of Eremocosta. We leave the designation as is.

Type material. Immature holotype from Santiago, México, deposited at Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität (ZMHU, no. 996). Recorded specimens: known from type only. Type not examined. Distribution. MÉXICO: Baja California Norte. Biome: Sonoran Desert.
Discussion. Muma (1970) considered this nomen dubium after examining the type which proved to be a juvenile. We agree with this designation.

description: Eremorhax arenarum (Ballesteros & Francke 2007) new combination
Eremocosta arenarum (Ballesteros & Francke 2007): 61–68, figs. 1–6.
Type material. Dunas de Bilbao, Coahuila, México. Male holotype and six paratypes. The male holotype, one “putative” (probably immature female) paratype (Ballesteros & Francke 2 007), an additional male, and one juvenile paratype at IBUNAM; three additional male paratypes are deposited at AMNH. Type examined.
Discussion. Ballesteros & Francke (2007) rightly considered placing E. arenarum in the genus Eremorhax based on the shallow flagellar groove that does not reach the base of the fixed finger (fig. 3, p.65: Ballesteros & Francke 2007). This feature is quite different than the VDC present in all members of the genus Eremocosta males. Ballesteros & Francke (2007) pointed out the similarity of the flagellar groove with other members of the genus Eremorhax as well as the presence of ctenidia, lacking in the genus Eremocosta.

Type material. Male holotype from Tutla, Oaxaca, México. Collected 13 December 1948 by E.S. Ross. Deposited at CAS. Female paratype collected from 4 miles north Cuernavaca, Morelos, México, 8 December 1948, collected by E.S. Ross and also deposited in the collection of CAS. Photos of type examined.
Discussion. The shape of the flagellar groove and lack of a VDC (Muma, 1986: fig. 2, p. 25) places this species in the genus Eremorhax. Presence of ctenidia also differentiate it from Eremocosta (see Muma, 1986: fig. 4, p. 25).

Eremopus montezuma Roewer 1934: 564, fig. 322d.
Eremorhax montezuma (Roewer1934): Muma 1970: 6 –7, figs. 3–4. Eremocosta montezuma (Roewer 1934): Harvey 2002: 451.
Type material. México, Orizaba, Roewer No. 8076 in Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien, Austria. Known only from holotype male. Photos of type examined.
Description. Roewer (1934) described the flagellum complex as unfeathered, homogenous bristles, pictured a prolateral view of the male chelicera, p 559, fig. 322d, and described the coloration as pale-yellow with opisthosomal tergites having a dark median stripe. Muma (1970) added a description of the palpal setation, indicating cylinder bristles, spines and long whiplike setae, but no palpal papillae. Muma (1970) also indicated four short, thick, lance-like ctenidia. Roewer measured the type at 15 mm but Muma measured it at 29.5 mm. Photos sent of the type from the Naturhistoriches Museum, Wien indicate that the total length is 21.8 mm.
Discussion. The lack of a VDC and the presence of a wide, thin flagellar groove characteristic of the genus Eremorhax, as well as the presence of ctendia returns Eremocosta montezuma to Muma’s (1970) designation as Eremorhax montezuma.

Discussion. The shape of the flagellar groove (Vázquez & Gaviño-Rojas 2000, figs. 2–3, p. 229) and the presence of an apical plumose bristle places the species in the genus Eremobates. The molecular phylogeny of Cushing et al. (2015) supports the placement of this species outside the Eremocosta clade close to other species in Eremobates

Bittacomorphella sackenii

description: Bittacomorphella sackenii species group
Diagnosis. Adult (Figs. 7 d, 13). Scutum black or dark brown, uniform coloration; epandrium quadrate with epandrial claspers at lateral apices, without medial suture, epiproct not apparent; hypandrium acutely triangular, basal division narrowing well before terminal division.
Description. Larvae and pupae unknown. Adult. Fringe of postocellar setae present. Clypeus elongate, 2x as long as wide. Shelf over maxillary palpus prominent, triangular. Hypopharynx highly reduced or narrow, acute. Labium elongate, extending past apex of clypeus, labella small (shorter than labium), adhered medially. Antepronotum without lobes. Scutum dark brown or black, with at most a weak light colored patch adjacent to scutellum. Metapleural suture complete, setose prominence below halter. Legs with single white band covering distal apex of the 1st–3rd tarsomeres, 4th and 5th tarsomeres infuscate. Epandrium platelike, quadrate, anterior and lateral margins straight joining at right angle, epandrial lobes absent, posterior margin at most weakly emarginated with epandrial claspers placed at posterior corners, internal fold present. Epandrial claspers strongly curved medially, pointed. Epiproct absent, hypoproct ovoid. Subepandrial sclerite V-shaped, arms articulating epandrial claspers. Parameres separate; simple or bifurcate. Gonopods with elongate cylindrical gonocoxite, apex of gonostylus rounded, not closely assocated with hypandrium. Hypandrium acutely triangular, basal division blending seamlessly into terminal division, very narrow. Superaedeagal membrane not inflated. Aedeagus with lateral ejaculatory processes curving posteriorly, ventral portion weakly developed. Apical apodemes of aedeagus simple, subaedeagal sclerite variable.
Taxonomic notes. The Bl. sackenii species group is proposed to include Bl. sackenii, Bl. furcata, and Bl. pacifica. The most compelling characters uniting these species are in the male genitalia: primarily the massive, quadrate epandrium with epandrial claspers located apically, and the hypandrium forming a narrow, acute triangular shape when viewed ventrally.

Material examined. St. 1: grab sampling, 13°57.468´S, 12°23.682´E; 1 specimen, 3 mm. Depth: 24 m. This species appeared just once and was the only ophiuroid at this station.
Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from the other listed Amphiuridae by the presence of marginal and ventral disc scales thickened into fairly short and pointed cones. The apical pair of infradental papillae is distinctly separated from the lateral oral papillae by a wide gap. Arms bear proximal tentacle pores with only a single tentacle scale.
Distribution. Northern West Africa: Guinea –Bissau and southwards, southern West Africa: Angola (13°S, previously found only as far south as 12°S) and northwards, at 5 to 80 m.

Тракторы RSM 1270 / 1290 / 1310 / 1350 / 1370 относятся к 1000 серии колесных тракторов РОСТСЕЛЬМАШ с подключаемым передним мостом. Трактор предназначен для выполнения сельскохозяйственных работ в средних и крупных сельхозпредприятиях от 1000 га. Ширина захвата навесных орудий увеличивается, в следствии чего предъявляются повышенные требования к прочности элементов конструкции трехточечной системы и ее надежности и основной причиной выхода из строя служат динамические нагрузки в транспортировочном положении . Одним из вариантом решения этой задачи является компенсация увеличения инерционных нагрузок за счет гидродемпфирования.

Была разработанна и валидирована модель по результатам измерений, проведенных сотрудниками ДН ТЦ с 10 по 16 июля 2022 года на испытательном треке ФГБУ «Центрально-Черноземная МИС» пос. Камыши Курского р-на Курской области. На модель ЗНУ был навешен груз, имитирующий орудие массой 3010 кг с центром масс, расположенном на расстоянии 5554 мм от моста переднего. В результате моделирования нагружения ЗНУ ускорением в центре масс орудия от 2g до 4g (м/с2) анализ полученных данных показал, что наилучшее снижение нагрузки осуществляется при диаметре дросселя от 4 до 5 мм и давлении предварительной зарядки аккумуляторов от 70 до 100 бар, объем одного гидроаккумулятора – 0,75 л.

Анализ данных показал, что с оптимальными параметрами подрессоривания ЗНУ нагрузка снижается в 1,4 - 1,5 раза.

Diagnosis. The two infradental papillae on each jaw angle are somewhat rounded. The oral papillae are arranged in a continuous series with the distal one being at least twice as broad as the other ones. The disc is smooth and typically carries a rosette of primary plates. The oral shields are rhombic. There are two scales at each tentacle pore.
Distribution. Amphipholis squamata, as currently delimited, is widespread in temperate and tropical seas. It occurs along the entire West African coast, moreover in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to South Africa. During our cruises it was found only south of 13°S. It occurs from the littoral zone down to 1200 m. Amphipholis squamata is most likely a species complex (Boissin et al. 2008) and so the actual distribution of each putative cryptic species may be more limited.

Diagnosis. Distally there are two lateral oral papillae on each adoral shield, a long spine-like one and a small rounded scale-like papilla. They are widely separated from the apical pair of infradental papillae. The disc scales (ventral and marginal) are smooth. Tentacle scales are absent. Typically the second ventralmost arm spine in the area outside the disc is axe-shaped.
Distribution. This species occurs in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to Angola at depths of 5 to 1200 m.

St. 66: dredge sampling, 9°33.702´S, 13°06.018´E; 2 specimens, 2–2.5 mm. St. BE13: dredge sampling, 15°17.562´S, 12°00.030´E; 1 specimen, 3 mm. St. BE08: grab sampling, 17°00.990´S, 11°27.048´E; 2 specimens, 4.5–5 mm. St. BE17: grab and dredge sampling, 17°18.946´S, 11°43.389´E; 14 specimens, 1.5–3 mm. St. BE30: grab and dredge sampling, 17°23.415´S, 11°43.432´E; 219 specimens, 1–6 mm. St. BE33: dredge sampling, 17°23.416´S, 11°42.226´E; 2 specimens, 1–2.5 mm. St. BE39: dredge sampling, 17°23.415´S, 11°36.126´E; 1 specimen, 3 mm. St. BE03: grab and dredge sampling, 17°57.636´S, 11°46.104´E; 47 specimens, 1–4 mm. St. BE02: grab and dredge sampling, 18°11.442´S, 11°50.478´E; 20 specimens, 2–4 mm. St. BE01: grab and dredge sampling, 18°23.118´S, 11°55.290´E; 1169 specimens, 1–6 mm. Depth: 26 to 67 m. This species was the most common of all ophiuroid species collected. At the southernmost sampled station it showed extremely high abundances compared to other stations.
Diagnosis. The jaw bears a single unpaired and squarish apical papilla. The latter is separated from a single lateral oral papilla by a wide gap. The dorsal side of the disc is completely covered with fine scales, sometimes bearing a number of marginal spinelets near the arms, but most of the specimens wholly without disc spines.
Distribution. Northern West Africa: Dakar and southwards, southern West Africa: Porto Namibia (18°S) and northwards (previously the southernmost boundary was Lobito, Angola). Ophiactis luetkeni occurs from shore level down to 67 m (previously only down to 60 m on the West African shoreline), also down to 120 m off Cape Verde.
