Ocyale kalpiensis Gajbe, 2004: 29, figs 37–39 (subadult ♀).
Hippasosa kalpiensis: Sherwood 2022: 583 (transfer from Ocyale).
Type material. Holotype subadult ♀ from INDIA: Madhya Pradesh: Mandla: Narayanganj: Kalpi (22°54'N, 80°12'E; 580 m alt.), leg. U.A Gajbe, 15 June 1982, repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (no registration number specified), examined.
Description. For description of the subadult female, see Gajbe (2004).
Male. Unknown.
Notes. This species was described based on a single female specimen collected from Madhya Pradesh (Gajbe 2004). It was recently transferred to Hippasosa as a consequence of the resurrection of this genus from its synonymy with Ocyale (Sherwood 2022). Detailed examination of the type material of O. kalpiensis revealed that the holotype female is a subadult (Fig. 3A). The pre-epigyne of this species lacks the inverted T-shaped septum, which is present in the epigyne of Hippasosa species (Alderweireldt 1996: figs 4–11, 20–24), indicating the misplacement of this species in Hippasosa (see also Jocque et al. 2017). Instead, the pre-epigyne with a conspicuous atrium divided by a median septum as seen in A. cinerea supports an interim inclusion of this species in Arctosa (compare Fig. 3B with Buchar et al. 2006: fig. 25; Wang et al. 2012: fig. 12E). Based on these observations, we transfer H. kalpiensis to Arctosa.
The NZC-ZSI collection has one glass tube for this species, labelled as ‘holotype’ (no registration number specified) containing one subadult female specimen in fairly good condition. The same tube has a small glass vial containing the dissected genitalia (Fig. 3B–C).
Distribution. India (Madhya Pradesh, Gajbe 2004).

Previously recorded: Clarke, Fannin, Grady, Harris, Lowndes, Thomas, Whitfield. This South American species is distributed in the eastern US (Texas to North Carolina) and along the US west coast (California and Oregon) (Gates 1982).
Remarks. Eukerria saltensis is the second most common earthworm collected in semiaquatic environments, with the native Sparganophilus spp. dominating the communities (Carrera-Martínez, R. unpublished data). As both groups inhabit the same habitats (sandbars, mud, and stream shorelines), it is likely that some competition might be occurring between the native Sparganophilus and the invasive E. saltensis. Furthermore, the presence of E. saltensis raises concern for more rare semiaquatic species, such as those undescribed Sparganophilus species, some members of Diplocardia, and the elusive Lutodrilus in Louisiana. Therefore, there is a need to study and monitor these traditionally neglected semiaquatic earthworm taxa.

description: Recognizing gestures in artworks can add a valuable dimension to art understanding and help to acknowledge the role of the sense of smell in cultural heritage. We propose a method to recognize smell gestures in historical artworks. We show that combining local features with global image context improves classification performance notably on different backbones.

History: 14 species were so far included in the genus (Eades et al. 2011), three of them described until 1930 (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1878, Karny 1926, Shiraki, 1930), and 11 since 1998 (Ingrisch 1998, Gorochov 2004, 2008, Shi & Chang 2004). One species is removed from Hueikaeana and rearranged with Deflorita in the current publication and two species are described as new.
Diagnosis. Characterised by the colourful appearance, the tegmen widened in basal half, rather narrow in apical half. The fastigium verticis is moderately sloping anteriorly. The male stridulatory area is strongly varying between species, often shortened. Phallus sclerites are absent.
Description. Fastigium verticis in typical forms moderately sloping anteriorly. Head, pronotum and abdomen often but not always with striking ivory-white marks. Disc of pronotum broadly rounded into paranota; only in apical area and in some species along anterior margin flattened. Tegmen rather narrow to moderately widened; costal area of tegmen in about basal half always distinctly widened; in about apical half of tegmen roughly parallel-sided; narrowest tegmen width often in sub-apical area; apex usually obliquely truncate. Male stridulatory area either long triangular with rounded angles (type species) or in most species shortened and of various shapes; in latter case dorsal area of tegmen when at rest with a gap behind stridulatory area. Male cerci simply curved with apico-internal tooth or projection. Male epiproct broadly rounded, about semicircular, or triangular with apex rounded. Male phallus membranous. Male second abdominal tergite, in some species up to fourth tergite, either setose in middle or second tergite and to a lesser extend third tergite forming dorsal bumps. Female subgenital plate rounded or triangular with apex rounded, rarely with faintly excised apex. Ovipositor sickle-shaped, in typical forms narrow with margins smooth or at apex very finely serrulate (in D. bella margins serrate and apex broadly obtuse).

description: In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) has been designed to provide high instrumental efficiency ( $>$ 37\%) observations in the near UV (305-400 nm requirement, 300-420 nm goal) at a spectral resolving power of R $>$ 20, 000 (with a lower-resolution, sky-limited mode of R $\sim$ 7, 000). With the design focusing on maximizing the instrument throughput (ensuring a Signal to Noise Ratio -SNR- $\sim$ 20 per spectral resolution element at 313 nm for U $\sim$ 17.5 mag objects in 1h of observations), it will offer new possibilities in many fields of astrophysics: i) access to key lines of stellar spectra (e.g. lighter elements, in particular Beryllium), extragalactic studies (e.g. circumgalactic medium of distant galaxies, cosmic UV background) and follow-up of explosive transients. We present the CUBES instrument design, currently in Phase-C and approaching the final design review, summarizing the hardware architecture and interfaces between the different subsystems as well as the relevant technical requirements. We describe the optical, mechanical, electrical design of the different subsystems (from the telescope adapter and support structure, through the main opto-mechanical path, including calibration unit, detector devices and cryostat control, main control electronics), detailing peculiar instrument functions like the Active Flexure Compensation (AFC). Furthermore, we outline the AITV concept and the main instrument operations giving an overview of its software ecosystem. Installation at the VLT is planned for 2028-2029 and first science operations in late 2029.

Aleuroclava canangae

description: Aleuroclava canangae species group
Diagnosis
Oval shaped, 1.3–1.7× as long as wide; cephalic (Cs1) and first abdominal segment setae (As1) extremely long (1.1–2.0× radius) and tuberculate and set on tubercles; vasiform orifice (vo) cordate with a cleft along the posterior margin medially; operculum filling almost the entire orifice except less so in A. indica; setae on eighth abdominal segment (As8) short 0.1–0.7× length of the vo; caudal setae (Cas) long in most species 0.5–6.0× the length of the vo and set on tubercles; tracheal furrow terminating in a pore, cleft or undifferentiated from the lateral; and dorsal tubercles and submarginal papillae often present. All of the known species in this group are primarily pale in colour (some species such as A. canangae with faint brownish areas medially) and have the dorsum entire (submarginal furrow/fold absent). Species in the A. canangae species group are most similar to Aleuroclava species that have the Cs1 and As1 setae very long, but are non-tuberculate and not set on tubercles (Table 2). Measurements were taken from illustrations of each species. The radius is measured from the junction of the longitudinal furrow on the cephalothorax and the transverse moulting suture that separates the cephalothorax from the abdomen following a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal furrow, across half of the body to the lateral margin (Figure 3A). The distribution column shows the country from which the species was described followed by subsequent country records.

Type locality. "Sierra della Nieve prope Ronda Andalusiae" (Heyden 1870), Spain.
Lectotype (Fig. 37): ♂, "Ronda, Heyden" [hw L. von Heyden], " Syntypus " [red, printed], microscopic slide with aedeagus and "1563" [hw], " Coll. L. v. Heyden, DEI Eberswalde" [printed], " Lectotypus ♂, Catops Vandalitiae Heyden, P. M. Giachino & D. Vailati des. 1992" [red, printed] (SDEI).
Diagnosis. Apex of median lobe acuminated (Fig. 10); parameres very long, forming a marked angle, with apex round and expansion on inner side (Fig. 17) (see other characters under S. gracilis, see above). Molecular data place S. vandalitiae as sister species of S. pulchellus; although both species belong to the vandalitiae -group sensu Giachino & Vailati (1993), their aedeagi are considerably different (compare Figs 10 and 11), with much shorter and robust parameres relative to the length of the median lobe in S. pulchellus.
Distribution (Fig. 39; Appendix). Iberian Peninsula, extending to the French Pyrenees (Jeannel 1936; Giachino & Vailati 1993; Perreau 2000, 2004; Salgado et al. 2008; Agirre & Blas 2009; Fresneda & Salgado 2017). In Spain there are records from Albacete, Ciudad Real, Granada, Huesca and Madrid (Fresneda et al. 2007), Málaga (Heyden 1870; Fuente 1925; Giachino & Vailati 1993), Murcia (Fresneda et al. 2007), Tarragona and Toledo; and in France from Basses-Pyrénées (Jeannel 1936). However, some of these records may refer to S. gracilis, which has been considered to be a synonym of S. vandalitiae since Reitter (1885) (see section 3.3. above).

Material examined. One specimen (26 mm), MZUSP 0 0 0 12, Brazil, Ceará, Paracuru, Praia da Pedra Rachada, 3°23.95' S 39°0.85' W, on mud sand, coll. Cecili Mendes, 16. VI.2014.
Field diagnosis. Body small, rounded anteriorly, flattened intestinal region; translucent, whitish anteriorly and yellowish-orange posteriorly. No eye spots, white dorsomedian line on head. Large mouth, immediately posterior to cerebral ganglia. Alimentary canal divided into two portions, anterior clear and less opaque than yellowish intestinal region, as seen by Coe (1905). Lateral organs present posterior to start of intestine; circular orange band formed in this region after preservation.
Distribution. Western Atlantic: USA (Florida [Corrêa 1961], South Carolina [Fox & Ruppert 1985] and Virginia [Boesch 1973]) and Brazil (Ceará [present study])
Eastern Pacific: USA (California [Coe, 1905])
Ecology. The present specimen was found in muddy sand, under rocks in the lower intertidal zone, which agrees with Coe (1905). However, Corrêa (1961) reports a specimen dredged from about 4 m in Biscayne Bay.
Remarks. This species can be confused with Carinoma mutabilis because of the ground color, but C. mutabilis lacks lateral sense organs. Identification of the present specimens remains uncertain because there are few internal and external characters that can be compared with other species. A firmer identification awaits genetic study. A factor favouring the probability that this is conspecific with worms reported as C. lactea from Florida is the significant taxonomic overlap among nemerteans from Florida and Brazil. However, given the lack of morphological diagnostics, the identity for all Atlantic reports of this species must be held in doubt until compared with northeastern Pacific Ocean specimens from the vicinity of the type locale.

Other material examined. BHUTAN: Thimphu (27°28’N, 89°38’E; 2300–2500 m alt.), collector unknown, 16-27 & 30 April & 31 May, repository NMB: 5 ♀♀, 1 ♂, 1 juv., examined from photographs.
Redescription and diagnosis. See Marusik et al. (2020).
Distribution. Bhutan (Buchar 1997) and India: Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand (Marusik et al. 2020).
Notes. Buchar (1997) described this species from Bhutan. Marusik et al. (2020) recorded this species from India based on specimens collected from Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarakhand. However, they were not sure about the conspecificity of their specimens with the types of T. dentichelis, even though they compared the specimens from India with the types. We could not find any significant differences between the material from Bhutan and those from India, thus confirming the occurrence of this species in India (compare Fig. 11A, C with Marusik et al. 2020: figs 2g –h, 4e).

Field diagnosis. Body beige, with posterior region reddish due to gonads; dorsal and ventral surfaces completely covered by numerous thin, interrupted, brown lines. Cephalic lobe triangular, narrowing to neck-like constriction. Body long and flat ending in short caudal cirrus; latter lost easily during collection. Cerebral ganglia visible as a reddish region in head. No eye spots evident.
Distribution. Western Atlantic: USA (Florida [JLN unpublished obs] and South Carolina [Fox & Ruppert 1985]) and Brazil (Ceará [present study]).
Eastern Pacific: California (San Pedro, Newport, San Diego), Mexico (Puerto Refugio, Angel de la Guardia, Punta Willard, Bahia San Luis Gonzaga) (Coe 1940).
Ecology. This species is reported from intertidal zone to depths of 70 m (Gibson 1995). They seem to inhabit mud or muddy sand. The specimens here were found on muddy sand under rocks in the lower intertidal zone, sometimes in direct contact with the rock.
Remarks. The species was first described from the North Pacific Ocean, along the southwestern coast of North America, and a morphologically identical form has been reported from the south coast of Florida (Corrêa 1961; JLN, unpublished obs). No material is available from the Pacific Coast for comparison. Though the described appearance (Coe 1905; Coe 1940) is convincingly similar, the disjunct geographic and depth distributions provide cause to question the specific identity of the Brazilian (Florida and South Carolina) worms.

Trochosa gunturensis Patel & Reddy, 1993: 130, fig. 6a–d (♀).
Type material. Holotype ♀ from INDIA: Andhra Pradesh: Guntur: Valiveru (16°11’N, 80°35’E; 10 m alt.), leg. T. S. Reddy, 20 February 1986, repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (no register number specified), not examined as the type was not available for the present study.
Description. For description and illustration of the female, see Patel & Reddy (1993)
Male. Unknown.
Distribution. India (Andhra Pradesh, Patel & Reddy 1993).
Notes. Trochosa gunturensis is known from a single taxonomic entry with textual description supported by four illustrations (Patel & Reddy 1993). The size, shape and position of epigynal hoods, size and shape of epigynal median septum, and shape and arrangement of vulva illustrated for T. gunturensis match with that of the Chinese species Trochosa adjacens O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885, except the difference in the size of the spermatheca, which could be an intraspecific variation, as illustrated for T. hispanica Simon, 1870 (compare Patel & Reddy 1993: fig. 6c–d with Marusik & Nadolny 2020: figs 7, 10C). The somatic colouration of T. gunturensis also is same as described by Pickard-Cambridge (1885) for T. adjacens. All these suggest a possible synonymy of T. gunturensis with T. adjacens, but confirmation requires the examination of type or topotype material of T. gunturensis.We were unable to trace out the types of T. gunturensis in the arachnid collection of ZSI, even though the authors mentioned that the type would be deposited there (Patel & Reddy 1993).
