description: When choosing estimands and estimators in randomized clinical trials, caution is warranted, as intercurrent events, such as, due to patients who switch treatment after disease progression, are often strongly associated with patients’ time-varying prognostic factors. Consequently, for patients who did experience intercurrent events, there are typically no comparable patients who did not. Statistical analyses may then easily lure one into making large implicit extrapolations, which often go unnoticed. We will illustrate this problem of implicit extrapolations using a real oncology case study, with a right-censored time-to-event endpoint, in which patients can cross over from the control to the experimental treatment after disease progression, for ethical reasons. We address this by developing an estimator for the survival risk ratio contrasting the survival probabilities at each time t if all patients would take experimental treatment with the survival probabilities at those times t if all patients would take control treatment up to time t, using randomization as an instrumental variable to avoid reliance on no unmeasured confounders assumptions. This doubly robust estimator can handle time-varying treatment switches and right-censored survival times. Insight into the rationale behind the estimator is provided and the approach is demonstrated by re-analyzing the oncology trial.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the causal effect of drug exposure on clinical response in a randomized dose comparison trial where each group receives a different dose. Because exposure is not randomized, the exposure-response relationship is subject to confounding in this setting. Conventional statistical methods for confounding adjustment with a continuous exposure typically assume that there are no unmeasured confounders. This article provides an instrumental variable approach that does not require the assumption of no unmeasured confounders. Specifically, we use randomized dose assignment as an instrumental variable and characterize the causal exposure-response relationship using a control variable under a mild monotonicity assumption on individual dose-exposure profiles. Based on this characterization, we derive partial identification bounds for the causal exposure-response relationship, which are model-free but may be too wide to be useful in practice. For practicality, we further develop a simple estimation method based on a regression model for the mean response conditional on exposure and the control variable. Simulation results show that, in the presence of unmeasured confounding, the model-based estimation method reduces estimation bias effectively at the expense of increased variability, as compared to existing methods. The method is illustrated with real data from a study of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Body generally bright yellow with the following black: ocellar triangle extending to inner eye margin above emargination, large spot above antennal sockets, spot at posterior eye margin that narrows posteriorly (Fig. 4A– E); F3–11 (except F3 ventrally) (Fig. 4B), clypeal moustache (Fig. 4B), three longitudinal bands on mesoscutum connected basally and apically (Fig. 4D), scutellum and postscutellum laterally (Fig. 4C), basal triangle of propodeum (Fig. 4D), mesosternum laterally, large irregular area on metapleuron, dorsal basal streak on hind femur (Fig. 4E), apical margins of gastral terga. Gastral T 3 yellow with two black markings baso-laterally, T 6 black with narrow yellow band apically (Fig. 4E), S 2 with black bands apically and basally, with two small black markings basolaterally, S 3 –S 5 with black band basally, S 6 black.
Face densely punctate (Fig. 4B); clypeal moustache long and dense, meeting medially (Fig. 4B); mesoscutum sparsely punctate (Fig. 4D), scutellum and postscutellum smooth and shiny (Fig. 4D); propodeal dorsum smooth and shiny, with median rugose suture (Fig. 4D); upper mesopleuron smooth, lower mesopleuron densely punctate (Fig. 4C); mesosternum coarsely punctate; hind coxa without keel; gastral T 1–3 densely punctate, with large interspaces, punctures sparser and superficial on rest of terga (Fig. 4E); gastral S 2 mostly smooth, dull; S 3–6 coarsely punctate. Male genitalia (see Fig. 23A).
Female: Not available.
Material examined: 1♁, Wadi Degla, 21.vi.2022, on Ochradenus baccatus Delile (Resedaceae), Alyaa A. Malash collector (EFC).
Distribution in Egypt: Wadi Degla (present study).
Extralimital distribution: Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia.
Comment: This species is a new record for Egypt. Characters of the only specimen collected agree with de Beaumont’s key (1949: 180, couplet 9). It also agrees with de Beaumont’s (1949: 178, fig. 5) except in the absence of the two median black spots between antennal sockets. It differs from the Tunisian male in having apical margins of gastral terga black, and T 3 with two black markings laterally (in Tunisian male, apical markings of terga are ferruginous, T 3 has no black markings laterally, see Ben Khedher et al. 2021: 7, fig. 1B), but agrees with fig. 3B (Ben Khedher et al. 2021: 8).

Έπειτα, για την επιλογή των ερωτήσεων που θα χρησιμοποιηθούν στην έρευνα, είναι απαραίτητη η μετάφραση του ερωτηματολογίου στα ελληνικά και στη συνέχεια η επιλογή των ερωτήσεων που θα προσαρμόζονται κατάλληλα στα ελληνικά δεδομένα.
description: This thesis examines the way of organizing the pilot survey that will be carried out within the framework of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) and focuses on the topic of Work Orientations. The pilot survey was carried out in Greece in December 2023. The basic exploratory hypothesis of this thesis is the interpretation of political behavior based on the answers of Greek citizens to specific questions of the questionnaire on work orientation, which concern, for example, attitudes toward work and private life, as well as respondents’ work organization and working conditions. To accomplish this purpose, an analysis of the pilot survey data will first be done using the SPSS statistical data analysis program. Then, for the selection of the questions to be used in the research, it is necessary to translate the questionnaire into Greek and then to select the questions that will be appropriately adapted to the Greek data.

Remarks
Strasser (1966) described the species from the town of Ivailovgrad in the Eastern Rhodope Mts., southeastern Bulgaria and later (Strasser 1973) recorded it also from the village of Kostino in the same region. Stoev (2004) tentatively referred to this species and adult female and a juvenile collected near the village of Mezek situated only 30 km from the type locality. Recently, more dorypetalines were collected in other regions of the country, unfortunately without males to allow their proper identification.

Figs 21–22: gonopod, lateral & mesal views, respectively (re­worked with new symbols from Hoffman & Lohmander 1964, figs 6 & 7). Abbreviations, see text. Scale bar: 1 mm.
Remarks
Latzel (1884) described degenerans from Serbia and although having no further evidence presumed its occurrence on the territory of the Austrian­Hungarian Monarchy. His suspicion has proved correct as sixteen years later Verhoeff (1900b) reported it form near Temesvar (Timisoara) and Herkulesbad (Baile Herculane) in Banat, Romania. Attems (1929) was the first to record it for the Republic of Macedonia, the Kosovan part of Shar Planina Mts., and in Nemila, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The last­mentioned locality is rather far from the others, and along with Latzel’s (1888) record (repeated by Karlinski 1894) from Sucha, Trebinje in Herzegovina is the westernmost record of all. However, both are already quite outdated (101 and 76 years, respectively) and need to be confirmed with fresh material. Further finds from Macedonia and Serbia were recently reported by Mršić (1993) and Makarov et al. (2004). Although probably being of allochtonous origin, of special interest is the find of D. degenerans in Budapest and Budai Mts., Hungary (Korsós 1992, 1994; see also Korsós et al. 2002), which together with the undoubtedly introduced population of Callipus foetidissimus gallicus Brolemann, 1930 in Paris, France, forms the northern border of distribution of order Callipodida in Europe (Shear et al. 2003).
Besides in Latzel’s book (1884), illustrations of gonopods of D. degenerans can be found also in the papers of Verhoeff (1900a) and Hoffman & Lohmander (1964).

Body predominantly yellow with some areas black (Figs 7A, B, 8A–E); yellow face area in female ending far from middle ocellus, while in male it extends to middle ocellus; head with long fine silvery setae extending to level of middle ocellus in frontal view (Fig. 8A, B); malar space relatively long, about 2/3 length of F 1 in male (Fig. 8D) and half length of F 1 in female (Fig. 8C); clypeal moustache of male meeting medially (Fig. 8B); pronotum straight anteriorly (Fig. 7A, B); propodeal enclosure smooth and shiny, with smooth median sulcus (Fig. 7A, B); upper mesopleuron nearly smooth and shiny, lower mesopleuron with microscopic superficial punctures (Fig. 8C, D).
Material examined: 1♁, 1♀, Wadi Degla, 4.iv.1928 (AUCE); 1♁, Suez Road, 15.ix.1929 (AUCE); 1♁, Fayoum, 8.iii.1935 (AUCE); 1♁, 1♀, Marsa Matruh, viii.1953, Dr. T. S. collector (ASUA); 1♁, Kom Oshiem, 4.iv.1953, Aly collector (ASUA); 1♁, Wadi El Natroun, 2.iv.1951, Roh. collector (ASUA).
Previous Egyptian Records: Tor (S. Sinai) (Kohl 1891), Fayoum (El Khawagat), Kerdasa, Hammamat Faraoun (S. Sinai), Wadi Degla (Mochi 1939; Honoré 1942; Roche 2007), Sinai Peninsula (Roche & Zalat 1994), Dakhla Oasis, Kom Oshiem, Wadi El Natroun (Gadallah 1996), Dahshour, Wadi El Tih (Dollfuss 2017).
Extralimital distribution: Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Sudan, United Arab Emirates.
Remarks. Characters of Egyptian specimens agree well with Guichard’s key (1994: 208, couplet 4). They also agree with de Beaumont’s description (1961: 202) as well as couplet 4 (de Beaumont 1961: 211), but differ in the malar space length: in our specimens the male malar space equals 2/3 the length of F1, and about half length of F 1 in female (in male, equal to F1, and in female 2/3 length of F 1 in de Beaumont’s key). Our specimens agree also with de Beaumont’s figs 4, 5 (1961: 207).

Localities. Brazil: cities of Diamantina, São Gonçalo do Rio Preto and Santo Antônio do Itambé, state of Minas Gerais. Reported for the first time in Brazil.
Material. Photographs of four specimens (adults), collected on 29/May/ 2009 in the city of Diamantina, Brazil, available at the Museum of Zoology, University of Campinas, Brazil, under accession numbers ZUEC GCH 13, 14, 15 and 16. Six specimens were examined alive with a compound microscope and are no longer extant.
Elongated body (Fig. 8 A). Five-lobed head with two pairs of cephalic cilia. Ocellar granules absent. Dorsal scales overlapping; longitudinal rows of keeled scales parallel to the body (Fig. 7 B–C; 8B). Ventral ciliation as a continuous field of transverse rows covering the entire ventral body surface in the pharyngeal and beginning of the intestinal regions, splitting at the beginning of the intestinal region (U26–27) to form two separate longitudinal bands (Fig. 8 C). The interciliary area is covered by elliptical keeled scales, with the pharyngeal portion of the field naked (Fig. 8 C). Ventral terminal scales consists of one pair of larger elliptical keeled scales in the rearmost portion of the ventral region (Fig. 7 D). Subterminal mouth (Fig. 7 A). Pharynx with posterior swellings only.
Remarks. The Brazilian specimens exhibit similar ranges to those of Argentinean specimens (Tab. 3), but we were able to find specimens both smaller and larger than those reported by Grosso & Drahg (1991). In terms of morphology, the specimens in our study agree with the original description of H. famaillense previously reported in Argentina, Tucuman, Famaillá (27°03′16″S–65°24′07″W), particularly in the pattern of ventral cilia, and in the distribution and shape of the dorsal keeled scales.

Philanthus minor Kohl, 1891: 358, ♀.
Diagnosis. Body length: 12 mm (female), 12 mm (male).
Female with head and thorax black and following parts yellow: postero-lateral margin of head, lower face (not reaching inner eye emargination laterally, and forming trifid marking medially between antennal bases, far from median ocellus), clypeus, basal half of mandible, first three antennal segments, and inner side of fourth segment, pronotum, scutellum, postscutellum, tegula, upper mesopleuron; gaster with all terga yellow banded with ferruginous and black; legs yellow and ferruginous (Figs 9A–C, 10A). The yellow is more developed in male, extending to middle ocellus, and with two small, rounded spots on head posterior margin; mesoscutum with two middle as well as lateral yellow makings, yellow of mesoscutum interrupted medially; first three gastral terga largely yellow, surrounded with light ferruginous, T 4–6 mainly black, each with narrow, medially interrupted yellow band posteriorly (Figs 9D, 10B–E). Male clypeal moustache dense, meeting medially (Fig. 9D); pronotum distinctly emarginate medially (Fig. 9B, C); propodeal enclosure with coarsely sculptured, broad median sulcus, sculpture covering whole basal area of propodeum as inverted triangle (Fig. 10A, E); upper mesopleuron smooth and shiny (Fig. 10C, D); hind femur with relatively long fine setae, about as long as greatest femur width (Figs 9A, 10A).
Material examined: 1♀, Dahshour, 15.iii.1927 (AUCE); 1♁, Burg, 4.V. 1955, Sh. M. collector (EFC).
Previous Egyptian Records: Dahshour (Kohl 1891; Honoré 1942; de Beaumont 1949; Roche 2007), no specific locality (Dalla Torre 1897; de Beaumont 1953), Marsa Matruh (Guichard 1994; Gadallah 1996; Roche 2007).
Extralimital distribution: Algeria, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates.
Remarks. Characters of Egyptian specimens agree with Guichard’s key (1994: 208, couplet 8), however, in the male, the ferruginous extends along the first three gastral terga (Fig. 10E). They also agree with the North African specimens of de Beaumont (1949: 179, couplet 8).

(Figs. 9; Tab. 4)
Localities. Brazil: city of São Carlos, state of São Paulo.
Material. Photographs of two specimens (adults), collected on 13/Jun/ 2015 in the city of São Carlos, Brazil, available at the Museum of Zoology, University of Campinas, Brazil, under accession numbers ZUEC GCH 17 and 18.
Remarks. As reported above, within the genus Heterolepidoderma, only H. mariae sp. nov., H. majus, H. brevitubulatum and H. jureiense have clearly three-lobed heads. The specimens collected in Broa Dam do not exhibit three different shapes of dorsal scales (like H. mariae sp. nov.), or extremely short and slightly bifurcate adhesive tubes (like H. brevitubulatum), or ventrolateral lamellae (like H. jureiense). Although we collected sediments at the same site where Kisielewski (1991) found Heterolepidoderma majus, we noticed considerable differences in our two specimens tentatively identified as H. majus. We were not able to clearly observe the keels transforming into short spines that project beyond the edges of posterior scales (Fig. 8); the morphometrical features of our specimens are different from those reported by Kisielewski (1991) (Tab. 4), and the interciliary area of the pharyngeal and beginning of the intestinal regions clearly have small keeled scales. However, a description of a putative new taxon is beyond the scope of the present study because few specimens were studied and more material is needed for a complete description.

Dorypetalum degenerans trispiculigerum Verhoeff, 1900 a, p. 64, fig. 27 Remarks
This species was initially described as a subspecies of degenerans (Verhoeff 1900a), but Strasser (1974) gave it full species rank, and provided new illustrations of gonopods and male pregonopodal legs. D. trispiculigerum is so far known only from the Greek island of Kerkira (Corfu) and the neighbouring continental part of the Greek province Epirus (Strasser 1976) and Albania (Mauriès et al. 1997). Strasser observed certain variability in the gonopod structures in some of the samples from the continent, and taking his remarks into account, Mauriès et al. (1997) raised the question whether bosniense and trispiculigerum are indeed conspecific. However, it is also plausible that Strasser’s (1976) material from Anemorachi (Fig. 33) belongs to another, closely related species. Only additional material can answer the question. Although nice drawings of trispiculigerum gonopods were made available by Strasser (1974), we here present additional illustrations of male gonopods taken from an original slide of Verhoeff of a nontypical specimen from Corfu (Fig. 32).

Figs 10–11, 43, 93–100.
Black with apex of scutellum and apical area of forewing light brown.
Male genitalia. Pygofer with caudal margin almost truncate, ventral margin straight with long stout setae on caudal one third. Subgenital plate with rounded caudal margin, with fine short hairlike setae. Style linear with well developed preapical lobe, apical apophysis fingerlike, slightly curved laterally, with corrugated surface. Connective with arms shorter than stem. Aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, preatrium reduced; shaft directed caudodorsally, broad basally, gradually tapering towards apex, hooked with U-shaped notch; lateral margins near apical 0.33 serrated, one or two rows of spicules on apical 0.33 length; gonopore apical.
Length. Male: 4.0– 4.4 mm.
Type material examined. INDIA: Karnataka, Holotype ♂, Bandipur, 19.i.1985, S. Viraktamath (UASB); Paratypes: 1♂, Thithimathi, 19.i.1978, C. A. Viraktamath; 1♂, Bandipur, 19.i.1985, S. Viraktamath (UASB).
Etymology. The species name alludes to the curved aedeagal shaft apex.
Remarks. P. curvata resembles P. distanti, P. meghalayensis, P. noctua, P. spiculata and P. tumida, all being predominantly black with the apical area of the forewing brownish hyaline and having a relatively slender body. In the male genitalia it is similar to P. distanti and P. meghalayensis but diifers in its narrower aedeagal shaft in lateral view, and from the former by its narrower style apophysis and from the latter by its narrower apical hook of the aedeagus in lateral view.

Eutimesius ornatus: Pinto-da-Rocha (1997): 187, figs 57–64, 461–462, 597.
Remarks.
Eutimesius ornatus (Roewer, 1943) was described from Bogotá, Colombia (Roewer 1943), and recorded from Venezuela on a female specimen from the northeastern region of San Cristóbal in Táchira state (Pinto-da-Rocha 1997). However, this particular specimen exhibits clear discrepancies when compared to the male holotype (MCR- 3862, SMFD, Pinto-da-Rocha 1997: figs 57, 58, 61, 63, 64), specifically in the pattern of white, dry spots and the size and shape of the spines in area III. While the pattern of white dry spots has displayed stability or minimal intraspecific variation in the specimens examined by us, for example, females with larger spots (Figs 5 A, B, 9 A, B), the pronounced aforementioned differences observed between the male and female of E. ornatus as depicted by Pinto-da-Rocha (1997), coupled with the geographical distance between both disjunct populations, raise the question regarding the identity of the female from Venezuela. E. ornatus ”, Therefore, we propose that the female from Venezuela represents an undescribed species distinct from E. ornatus.

Asymphyloptera

description: Asymphyloptera Collin
Asymphyloptera Collin, 1933: 323. Type-species: A. discrepans Collin, by original designation.
Recognition. The genus is recognized by its very small size (wing length <2.5 mm), face broad with distinct clypeus, postpedicel globular with long, slender apical extension (Fig. 10), mouthparts narrow with palpus elongate and narrowly pointed, appressed to proboscis (Fig. 1) and unusual wing venation, where R2+3 is branched and the upper crossvein of cell dm (= base of M2) is absent (Fig. 2).
Description. See Sinclair (1995) for full description. The genus can be identified using the key to genera in Sinclair (1995) and Cumming & Sinclair (2009).
Distribution. There are many undescribed species known from Australasia, specifically: Australia (incl. A. quadriseta Smith), New Caledonia, New Zealand and Philip Is. (Norfolk) (Sinclair 1995). In the New World, Asymphyloptera is known from Chile, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and USA (Arizona) (Fig. 17). The genus is also known from Puerto Rico (Cumming & Sinclair 2009), but the specimens have not be re-located.
Phylogenetic relationships. Asymphyloptera, together with the genera Afroclinocera Sinclair and Proagomyia Collin are the sister group to the remaining clinocerine genera and are confined primarily to the Southern Hemisphere (Sinclair 1995, 1999) (see Sinclair 2011, for discussion of former clinocerine genera). The remaining clinocerine genera appear to have originated in the Northern Hemisphere and only a few have dispersed south of the equator.

Philanthus pallidus Klug, 1845: [28], plate 47, fig. 8, ♁.
Diagnosis. Body length: 11–13 mm (female); 10–13 mm (male).
Body entirely yellow, except the following black in the male: flagellomeres 2–11, a thin streak above eye emargination, posterior margins of mesoscutum and scutellum, scutellum laterally; median sulcus of propodeum; posterior margin of T 1 and T 2 ferruginous (Figs 11A–E, 12A, B).
Lower face sparsely punctate, while deeply and densely punctate above eye emargination (Fig. 11B, D, E); malar space very short, but distinct (Fig. 12A); clypeal moustache long, meeting medially (Fig. 11D, E); clypeus with but few fine setae directed above; upper mesopleuron (mesepimeron) with sparse microscopic punctures to nearly smooth, lower mesopleuron densely coarsely punctate (Fig. 12A, B); propodeal enclosure smooth and shiny, with rugose or shagreened median sulcus (Fig. 11A, C).
Material examined: 1♀, Gebel Elba (Wadi Aideb), 28–29.ii.1938 (PPDD); 5♁, 2♀, Gebel Elba (Wadi Aideb), 5.iii.1938 (PPDD); 3♁, Gebel Elba (Wadi Aideb), 7.iii.1938 (PPDD); 1♀, Kafr Asfar, 4.vi.1937 (AUCE); 1♁, EL Gabal El Asfar, 1.viii.1937; 1♁, Kafr Farouk, 9.vii.1939 (AUCE); 1♁, Giza (without date) (AUCE); 2♀, El Gabal El Asfar, June (no year) (AUCE).
Previous Egyptian Records: Abbasyiah (Kohl 1891; Dalla Torre 1897), no specific locality (Arnold 1925; Mochi 1939; de Beaumont 1949, 1953, 1956; Bohart & Menke 1976; Guichard 1994), El Gabal El Asfar (Honoré 1942), Gebel Elba (Wadi Aideb) (Gadallah 1996), Kerdasa, Kom Oshiem (Roche 2007), Wadi El Tih (Dollfuss 2017).
Extralimital distribution: Algeria, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, Israel-Palestine, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sudan, United Arab Emirates.
Remarks. The characters of Egyptian specimens agree with the North African specimens of de Beaumont (1949: 179, couplet 9). They also agree with the Arabian species of Guichard (1994, couple 8, p. 208). However, they differ from those of Guichard’s in having the malar space very short but significant (Fig. 12A). In some specimens, face and thorax laterally are whitish (Figs 11B, E, 12A).

Material examined. HNHM AF /5366 two adult ex., AF /5368 one adult and one praeadult ex. French Guiana, Montagnes de Roura, primary forest. Coll. T. Pavlíček, 0 2 January 2009.
Diagnosis. L. 115–135 mm, D. 4–5 mm. No. segments 82–128. Color striped, dark brown-violet dorsally and pale ventrally. Clitellum ½15–½27 saddle-shaped. Tubercles long bands on 19–27. Muscular gizzard in 6, calciferous glands composite-tubular, eight pairs in 7–14. Lateral commissures in 7–9, oesophageal hearts in 10–11. Testes and funnels in 10, 11, in perioesophageal testis sacs. Spermathecae folded tube-shaped, six pairs with openings in 5/6–10/11. Genital setae 1.7 mm long, 0.075 mm in diameter, spear-shaped with 10–12 crescentic indentations (Fig. 11)
Remarks. M. (Mp.) duodenarius with six pairs of spermathecae does not fit the subgenus Martiodrilus (Maipure) Righi, 1995 as diagnosed by Zicsi (2001). To accommodate this species and M. (Mp.) gaucheri sp. nov., we propose to modify the diagnosis of Martiodrilus (Maipure) as follows: Martiodrilus with membranous septa throughout. Spermathecae intracoelomic, four to six pairs between segments 6–11.
