description: BABAKINA CAPRINSULENSIS MILLER, 1974
(FIGS 1A, 3B)
Babakina caprinsulensis Miller, 1974: 37, 1–2.
Distribution: This species is known from Goat Island and Poor Knights Islands, North Island, New Zealand (Miller, 1974; Rudman, 2005a).
Morphology: All morphological characters are known from the original description of this species (Miller, 1974) and from a subsequent photo of a second specimen from New Zealand (Rudman, 2005a).
Remarks: Miller’s (1974) original description of this species provides a complete overview of the anatomy of the species. However, the holotype does not appear to be present in the National Museum of New Zealand (B. Marshall, pers. comm.). There is one aspect of the morphology of this species that has been amended from the original description. Miller described the rhinophores of B. caprinsulensis as being papillate. The photograph of the second specimen from New Zealand (Rudman, 2005a) clearly shows that the rhinophores actually consist of a series of incomplete lamellae and represents the only other record of this poorly known species.

When Chevrolat (1860) described the genus as a subgenus of Clytus, he included two very similar species, O. brevicornis and O. virescens. According to Chevrolat (1860), O. brevicornis and O. virescens are similar (“Cet insecte [O. brevicornis] est très voisin du Cl. virescens ”), but the latter differs in the antennomeres VI–XI longer, antennal coloration, and prothorax longer than width. In this case, sexual dimorphism is evident (similar to O. viridiventris). In females, the antennae are always shorter with the last antennomeres wider, the pubescence is sligtly darker (bright in some specimens), and the longitudinal line of light-yellow pubescence that extends from the scutellum to elytral apex is more visible. On the other hand, the males have the brightest pubescence on the body, and the longitudinal band on the elytra is evident, and with the transverse pubescent band near half of the elytra less obvious, but always present. The prothorax and apex of the elytra are features nearly identical in the type material of both species. The frons and the shape of the anteclypeus and labrum (Fig. 4A–B) are other diagnostic characters to propose O. virescens as a junior synonym of O. brevicornis.

description: Dies ist die aktualisierte Handreichung zur Patient*innenbeteiligung an klinischer Forschung. Die Handreichung wurde entwickelt, um die Patient*innenbeteiligung an klinischen Studien im deutschsprachigen Raum zu stärken und Forschende bei der aktiven Beteiligung von Patient*innen zu unterstützen. Unter Beteiligung verstehen wir die aktive Einbindung von Patient*innen in die Planung, Durchführung und Translation klinischer Studien. Wir grenzen den Begriff ab von ähnlichen Konzepten wie bspw. der partizipativen Gesundheitsforschung – für diese treffen wir keine Aussagen. Der Fokus liegt auf Hinweisen und Anregungen für die praktische Umsetzung von Beteiligung an klinischen Studien. Je nach Situation sind ganz unterschiedliche Formen und Intensitäten der Beteiligung denkbar, die Inhalte der Handreichung sollten entsprechend an die eigene Situation angepasst werden. Die vorliegende Handreichung richtet sich unmittelbar an klinisch Forschende, die an einer aktiven Patient*innenbeteiligung interessiert sind und diese umsetzen möchten. Forschungsfördernde und Gutachter*innen können sie als Orientierung bei der Bewertung der Patient*innenbeteiligung in Forschungsanträgen nutzen. Darüber hinaus kann die Handreichung auch Patient*innen( vertreter*innen) unterstützen, die sich aktiv an klinischer Forschung beteiligen wollen. Die vorliegende Handreichung soll eine praktische Unterstützung für die Planung und Umsetzung von Patient*innenbeteiligung darstellen. Entsprechend ist sie aufgebaut: In Kapitel 1 wird in das Thema der Patient*innenbeteiligung eingeführt. Kapitel 2 gibt einen kurzen Einblick in die Erfahrungen zweier Patientinnen mit Patient*innenbeteiligung. Kapitel 3 widmet sich der Planung, Kapitel 4 der Durchführung von Patient*innenbeteiligung. Kapitel 5 gibt einen Ausblick auf Handlungsbedarfe und Entwicklungspotentiale.
The Effect of Teaching Experience on Student Performance: Evidence from Elementary and Middle School Students in Wisconsin

Subjects: Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: This research explores the role teacher experience plays in determining student achievement. Using data from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, I estimate how teacher experience affects student performance on the English language arts and mathematics portions of the Wisconsin Forward Exam. In doing so, I contribute to the literature by examining the effect of teacher experience on middle school student performance relative to elementary school student performance and by studying how the effectiveness of teachers varies at different experience levels. I find that teacher experience is more important in determining mathematics exam scores compared to English language arts exam scores. However, after controlling for unobserved school characteristics by using school fixed effects, I only find significant returns to teacher experience in third grade mathematics. Additionally, I find that these returns persist well into teachers’ careers, as the largest returns to teacher experience in third grade mathematics occur in the groups of the most experienced teachers. This evidence highlights the need for future research to examine differences in the returns to teacher experience between grade levels and subject areas and to explore why such differences exist.

Abacoptes ulmi Lin & Kuang, 1997, Kuang, Luo & Wang, 2005: 145.
Host. Ulmus sp. L. (Ulmaceae).
Relation to host. Vagrant on leaf surfaces, causing no apparent damage.
Distribution. Zhejiang (Lin’an County), China.
Remarks. The genus Abacoptes Keifer (Keifer, 1939c) was made a junior synonym of Rhyncaphytoptus Keifer (Amrine et al., 2003). Therefore, the species ulmi Lin & Kuang is moved to the genus Rhyncaphytoptus. However, the species epithet ulmi is a junior homonym of Rhyncaphytoptus ulmi Xin & Dong, 1981; therefore we designate the new specific epithet, ulmiss Song Xue & Hong, as a replacement name for this species. Etymology: -ss added to ulmi in order to make it significantly different.

Trichoxys cinereolus was originally described by Bates (1892) in the genus Trichoxys, and subsequently transferred to Tanyochraethes by Chemsak & Linsley (1965). On the other hand, O. octomaculata was originally described by Chemsak & Noguera (2001). The characters that support this synonymy are the frons transverse (Fig. 4C–D), the elytral apex oblique-truncate, the mesoventral process moderate elevated; even the pattern of the pubescence on the elytra is the same. This pattern of pubescence on the elytra is similar in Tanyochraethes anthophilus (Chevrolat, 1860), T. clathratus (Chevrolat, 1860), and T. tildeni Chemsak & Linsley, 1965. However, the shape of the frons and vertex is totally different. Accordingly, we consider O. octomaculata as a junior synonym of T. cinereolus. We used characters of the type specimens of both species to stablish the new combination for Ochraethes cinereolus.

Material examined. Lectotype (present designation): male, 4.0 × 4.8 mm, NHM 1919.11.1.121, R. Nughli, Sibpur, near Calcutta, India, coll. Annandale & S. Kemp, Jan. 1917.
Paralectotypes: 1 male, 4.0 × 4.8 mm, 1 female, 3.2 × 3.7 mm, 1 ovigerous female, 3.0 × 3.7 mm, NHM 1919.11.1.122–123, data same as lectotype.
Others. 1 male, 2.2 × 2.4 mm, 2 females, 2.6 × 2.9 mm, 2.7 × 2.9 mm, ZRC 2007.0107, Tangail District, North Central region, Ganges basin, Bangladesh, 4 Nov. 1992.
Remarks. Hymenicoides carteri has not been collected since Kemp (1917) described the species from near Calcutta, India and near Khulna, Bangladesh, on the basis of 22 specimens. In this study, we have located only four of the syntypes in NHM (Paul Clark, pers. comm.); the rest are presumably still in the Zoological Survey of India (ex Indian Museum). The G1 of H. carteri was first described by Lucas (1980: 197), although no figure was provided. The G1 of the lectotype (Fig. 2 a, b, NHM, 4.0 × 4.8 mm) is very broad, bent outwards medially and with a line of long stiff median setae along the inner part of the ventral side. The distal part of the G1 is a complicated structure; composed of a bifurcated, U-shaped projection on the distal inner angle, a denticulate lip-like margin on the distal outer angle and a long bursiform projection on the dorsal side of the base of the distal outer angle. In situ, the G1 sits completely in the deep sterno-abdominal cavity (Fig. 1 a).
Of the three recent specimens of H. carteri from Bangladesh, the only male specimen is small (ZRC 2007.0107, 2.2 × 2.4 mm) but it is basically similar to the type series of H. carteri (NHM 1919.11.1.121–123 3.0 × 3.7 - 4.0 × 4.8 mm) except for the G1 and the chela. The G1 is present but is still relatively undeveloped. The G1 of the lectotype specimen (NHM 1919.11.1.121, 4.0 × 4.8 mm) possesses a long bursiform projection on the dorsal side of the base of the distal outer angle (Fig. 2 b), which is not observed in the small male Bangladesh specimen. The cheliped of the Bangladesh male specimen is proportionally small and the tubercle on the manus is very low. These differences, however, are possibly associated with size and growth. Larger series of the specimens from Bangladesh may help to better understand the degree of variation in this species.

Assigned to the genus Fidius Grishin, 2019 (type species Vidius fido Evans, 1955) on the basis of phenotypic similarities with the type species (Cong et al. 2019b), Vidius ochraceus O. Mielke, 1980 (type locality in Brazil: Paraná) is presently confirmed as Fidius by genomic sequencing of its holotype and allotype (Fig. 7). The COI barcodes between F. fido and F. ochraceus differ by 6.5% (43 bp), which is a large distance for species so similar in their phenotypes.

In the original description, Chevrolat (1860) described Ochraethes obliquus as the large species with one of the most important characters that differentiated it from related species (“... Corselet un peu plus long que large, arrondi, assez largement étranglé à la base, droit aux extrémités [the prothorax extremely constricted at base] …”) and five black pubescent bands. The type specimen has the pubescence paler than other specimens and the last black pubescent band (sixth) is poorly evident (drawing by Bates). Bates (1885) described O. zebratus from Cobán, Guatemala, from only one female specimen. He mentioned seven narrow, slightly diagonal (oblique) bandages (brown or black transversal pubescent bands) on elytra and described the elytral apex as obliquely truncate. However, all speciemens revised and type material only have six evident pubescent bands in the same arrangement as O. obliquus, but narrower. The pubescence in these specimens conforms to the brighter variation of O. obliquus with the southernmost distribution. The frons is another character that is equal in both (sub-quadrate) (Fig. 4E– F). Accordingly, we consider O. zebratus as a junior synonym of O. obliquus.

Chevrolat (1835) described Ochraethes pollinosus and O. sommeri in the genus Clytus, and subsequently Chevrolat (1860) included both within the Ochraethes division. Ochraethes sommeri is one of the species that exhibits pubescence varying from dark to bright, some of them have been described as different species (O. circuliferus and Clytus tibialis). Botero et al. (2019) described Trichoxys giesberti based on two females from Sinaloa, Mexico, which are very similar to some specimens of O. sommeri reviewed by us with the same location (including a female lacking the evident transverse bands of black pubescence on the elytra used in delimitation analyses). The blurred transverse bands of black pubescence is a character present in other species within Ochraethes. The type material of T. giesberti has the frons and scape nearly identical to those in the type specimens of O. sommeri (= O. circuliferus), even the shape of anteclypeus and labrum is similar (Fig. 4G–I). The proportion of metatarsomere I (1.65× as long as II–III together) is other character to propose T. giesberti as junior synonym of O. sommeri.

Tameothrips Bhatti, 1978:106. Type species: Euthrips tamicola Bagnall 1914, by monotypy.
This genus can be distinguished from the other genera of the Anaphothrips genus-group by the following set of characters (Bhatti 1978): Tarsi 2-segmented; postocular setae arranged in one row; ferna entire; mesothoracic sternopleural suture present, spinula present on mesosternum but absent on metasternum (Fig. 8); abdominal tergites and sternites without craspeda; median setae long on abdominal tergites VI–VIII; absence of a comb on posterior margin of tergite VIII and S6 setae on the abdominal tergite II–VI inserted at posterior margin (Fig. 14); prominent, long medio-dorsal setae (md) on tergite IX. The genus Tameothrips is known only by its type species, and the new species described here is the second species in this genus.

Heffern et al. (2020) recently synonymized Ochraethes nigritus and discussed the pubescence colour of the body in both species, which is not informative to separate them. The similar form of their frons, anteclypeus and labrum are other characters which support this proposed synonymy. The pubescence coloration in this species ranges from bright to dark tones, even totally dark.
Also, in this work, we propose O. clerinus as a junior synonym of O. viridiventris based on the same situation as O. nigritus. Bates (1892) described O. clerinus and O. nigritus from the same locality in Guerrero; these specimens are very similar and differ only in the coloration of pubescence on body. The holotype of O. clerinus is female, which is very important because females are commonly longer than males, and the holotype of O. viridiventris is a male (the specimen was described as female). The pattern of the black pubescence on the elytra is almost identical, the elytral apex obliquely truncate, anteclypeus and labrum have the same shape in the type material of the two species described by Bates (Fig. 4J–L).

Limnopilos Chuang & Ng, 1991: 363.
Hymenicoides— Ng & Chuang, 1996: 50 (part); Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1997: 460 (part).
Type species. Limnopilos naiyanetri Chuang & Ng, 1991, by original designation and monotypy; gender of genus masculine.
Diagnosis. Carapace circular, pilose, dorsal surface concave; grooves distinct; rostrum absent or very weak; antenna with proximal portion of basal article posterior to inner section of proximal portion of eye; eyes, antennae, antennules visible dorsally; third maxillipeds narrow, not covering more than three-quarters of mouth field when closed, merus rectangular, dactylus styliform, approximately twice length of propodus; male chelae relatively stout, outer surface evenly convex, partially covered by dense setae, without tubercle. Female vulva placed on imaginary line joining inner ends of sutures between sternites 5, 6 on medial fused plate of thoracic sternum, vulva with basal mount. Male abdomen-pleotelson 6 segmented, pleotelson slightly trilobed, inner surface thickened distally, forming socket for sternal button (Fig. 1 c, d). G1 stout, bent outwards medially; distal part with distal inner processes, tuberculate distal outer angle. Female abdomen-pleotelson with six distinctly demarcated segments, boundary between first and second (L. sumatranus) or between second and third segments (L. naiyanetri) movable; long, biramous pleopods on second to fifth segments, developed from distal outer end of inner surface of each segment.
Remarks. Several characters clearly distinguish Limnopilos from Hymenicoides (see Remarks for Hymenicoides above). In addition to L. naiyanetri, the type species, H. microrhynchus Ng, 1995, and L. sumatranus new species, all possess the diagnostic characters of the genus and are therefore transferred to Limnopilos.
In the case of L. microrhynchus, only male specimens are known thus far, and the female characters diagnosed above are therefore not known for this species.

description: Colletes inspersus sp. n.
(Figs 26 a–e, 32t)
Diagnosis. This species is closely related to C. haubrugei. The females of both species share a very finely and sparsely punctate T1 (Fig. 26 e) in combination with a distinctly protruding and elongate clypeus (Fig. 26 b). C. inspersus sp. n. differs from its relative by a shorter malar area that is about as long as the width of the base of the mandible (about 1.5x as long as wide in C. haubrugei) and the very sparsely punctate T2 (Fig. 26 e) that is densely punctate in C. haugrugei (Fig. 17 b). The male is unknown.
Description. Female, BL=6.5–7.0 mm (Fig. 26 a); head broader than long, HW: HL=50: 40 (Fig. 26 b); gena slightly narrower than eye in lateral view, GW: EW=8: 19 (Fig. 26 a); width of metasoma as broad as that between tegulae, MtW: TW=53: 53. Clypeus nearly as long as broad, with sparse and dispersed punctation (Fig. 26 b); disc of scutum with irregularly dispersed fine punctation, i=0.5–2.0d (Fig. 26 c); malar area medially as long as the width of mandible base; facial fovea narrower than width of antennal flagellum; vertex behind eye rounded; propodeum laterally covered with sparse long erect hairs, integumental sculpture completely visible; punctation on disc of T1 fine, extremely sparse, i=2.5–4.0d (Fig. 26 e); apical hair band on T1 medially interrupted, T2 without broad basal hair band, apical hair band on T2 nearly 1/2 width as the exposed T2 (Fig. 26 e); sloping anterior and lateral anterior parts of T1 sparsely covered with erect long plumose hairs (Figs. 26 d, 26e). Antennal flagellum ventrally black (Figs. 26 a. 26b); distitarsus of all legs blackish brown, other parts black. Face, vertex and scutum covered with yellowish brown erect long plumose hairs, especially pilosity on vertex and scutum intermixed with some black hairs (Figs. 26 b. 26c), mesepisternum covered with longer white plumose hairs (Fig. 26 a).
Male unknown.
Type material. Holotype: 1♀, China, Xizang, Markam Xian (98º30′E 29º06′N), 3800m, 20.VI.1976, coll. Yin- Heng Han; Paratype: 1♀, China, Xizang, Markam Xian (98º30′E 29º06′N), 3800m, 20.VI.1976, coll. Xue-Zhong Zhang.
Distribution. China (Xizang) (Fig. 32 t).
Floral records. No record.
Etymology. The specific epithet is Latin inspersus, meaning the punctation on the disc of T1 and T2 very sparse and fine.

The species has a southern distribution within the regarded geographical area (Fig. 5A) and is present in Ireland, U.K., Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Kaliningrad and Finland. The species is undoubtedly also present in Estonia and Latvia. Its northern boundary is located at approx. 60° latitude, and its distribution area extends to middle and southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Balkan) (Zwick 2020) and east into the European part of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey (Paramonov 2013). Further, it is found in the Nearctic (Zwick 2020).
In Denmark, the larvae are primarily found in shallow marginal areas of small stagnant waters (permanent ponds, pools), but they also occur in highly organic polluted small (<2.5 m width) streams or streams impacted by ochre precipitation. The preference for ochre is also characteristic of larvae found in stagnant waters and springs. In the U.K., breeding takes place at seepages, muddy puddles in woodland and pond margins (Stubbs 1993). This species seems to be generally abundant, based on the high number of records (Fig. 5A).
The adult individuals have an extended flight period from late March (Denmark, Netherlands)/April (U.K., Norway, Finland, Sweden) to October (all countries). Moreover, the records show a two-peaked distribution (April and September) in the two areas. Two emergence periods are reported for some sites in the U.K. (Stubbs 1993), potentially suggesting two generations. However in Denmark, a bivoltine life cycle is not likely as adults as well as instar 4 larvae are abundant during the period May-August. Additionally, a detailed study undertaken in south-east Sweden using Malaise traps did not find any indication of two emergence periods (Salmela 2010).

The genus Helionothrips comprises 27 species worldwide (ThripsWiki 2015), of which 4 species are known from India (Bhatti 1990). H. aino is the fifth species recorded from India. This species can be distinguished from H. ananthakrishnani Wilson by the shorter and smaller constricted apex of antennal segment IV in comparison to the apex of antennal segment III.
Diagnosis. Female macroptera. Body blackish brown (Fig. 6). Antennal segments I–V and basal 2/3 of VI yellow, apical 1/3 of VI and VII–VIII light brown. All femora brown, all tibiae brown with yellow apex, tarsi yellow. Fore wing brown at base with sub-basal white band, brown at fork of vein and at distal end, distal half of wing pale brown.
Material studied. INDIA, Himachal Pradesh, Mandi, 4 females, 5 males on Colocasia leaves, 17.x.2013, (Reg. No. 6508/H17 to 6516/H17), Tyagi & Kumar. Ten females and 15 males are not mounted and preserved at - 20o C for molecular work.

The species has a southern distribution within the regarded geographical area (Fig. 6B) and is recorded in all countries except Estonia and Russia (Kaliningrad) (Zwick 2020). It seems to be especially abundant in U.K, Netherlands and Denmark. Its northern boundary is located at approx. 65° latitude. The distributional area extends to middle and southern Europe (Italy, Balkan) (Zwick 2020) and, to the east, into the European part of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia and Turkey (Paramonov 2013, Oboňa et al. 2017, Zwick 2020). Also, it is found in the Nearctic (Zwick 2020).
In Denmark, the larvae are primarily found in marginal areas of small stagnant waters (permanent ponds, pools, canals and ditches), but they may also occur in small streams (width <3 m). In the U.K., breeding places are coastal ditches, lowland ponds, lakes, canals and very slow-flowing rivers, and they may occur at steep banks (Stubbs 1993).
Adults have an extended flight period from May to August (Fennoscandia) or September (Denmark, Netherlands, U.K.).
