Campsicnemus ogradyi

description: Campsicnemus ogradyi Evenhuis, new species
(Figs. 15, 20)
Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from the other members of this species group by the single hooked or curved seta (Fig. 15) on the ventral third of the male mid femur (this modified setae curlicue, bifid, or zigzagged in the other species).
Description. Body length: 1.4–1.7 mm. Wing length: 1.8–2.0 mm. Male. Head. Black, face black, paler brown near clypeus; oc and vt black, about one-third length of antennal arista; front, occiput, and vertex black with blue highlights; face constricted at middle, almost holoptic, eyes separated below antennae by width of 2–4 ommatidia; palp very small, dark brown; proboscis very small, brown, not extending below eye in lateral view; antennal segments dark brown; postpedicel subtriangular, length about equal to width; arista slightly longer than head height.
Thorax: Mesoscutum, scutellum, and pleura dark brown to black throughout, with a few metallic reddish highlights posteriorly; thoracic setae black: 1 + 4 dc; 2 np; 2 ph; 1 pa; 1 + 1 sc; ac uniseriate; halter stem and knob white.
Legs: CI and CII brown; CIII yellowish brown; fore leg all brown; FII and FIII yellow on basal half, brown on apical half; TiII black, rest of legs dark brown; fore and hind legs without MSSC; FII (Fig. 15) swollen on basal 2/3, attenuate on apical 1/3, with 12–14 strong setae lateroventrally, 6 smaller setae on mesoventrally surface, thick hooked seta on apical third of ventral surface; TiII (Fig. 20) conspicuously bowed on apical 3/5, with long setae in middle on dorsal surface (MSSC), smaller black setae and hairs along entire ventral surface. Remainder of leg segments without MSSC.
Wing: Pale smoky throughout; subcostal section straight, not concave; alula extremely reduced; no indentation on M1+2 beyond crossvein dm-cu; crossvein dm-cu perpendicular to CuA1.
Abdomen. Dark brown with short black hairs dorsally on each tergite, a few longer hairs laterally; sternites dark brown. Hypopygium dark brown cerci, not dissected.
Female. Unknown.
Types. Holotype ɗ (BPBM 16,654) [BPBM 101243] and paratype ɗ [BPBM 101244] from FRENCH POLYNESIA: Society Is: TAHITI NUI: Vaituoru River, below Marato Hotel, 16 Jul 2006, sweeping rocks in river, P. O’Grady.
Etymology. This species is named for Patrick O’Grady, who collected this species, as well as a number of other new Campsicnemus species on Tahiti and Moorea during a collecting trip with me in July 2006. His decision to walk down the long, steep hill to collect at the stream at the bottom of the valley below the Marato Hotel (and my decision to stay at the hotel and not walk down) was his gain and my loss!

Figs 40–42, 84
Type material. U.S.A.: Oregon: Holotype female. Curry County, 12 miles northeast of Gold Beach, 30.ix.1959, V.D. Roth (CAS). Paratypes. Curry, 3♀, Carpenterville, 31(sic). ix.1959, V.D. Roth (CAS); 1♀, 12 mi. N of Gold Beach, 1.x.1959, V.D. Roth (AMNH).
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym honouring the late blues musician, lyricist, and band leader Chester “Howling Wolf” Burnett.
Diagnosis. The male of N. burnetti spec. nov. is unknown. The females of N. burnetti spec. nov. and N. xantha comb. nov. can be distinguished by, in the former, the strongly arched atrium (Figs 40–41), the copulatory ducts proceeding posterolaterally from the atrium (Figs 41–42), and the longitudinal orientation of the spermathecal stalks (Fig. 42). In the female of N. xantha comb. nov. the atrium is weakly convex (Figs 36, 38) or represented by a pair of tiny, widely separated openings (Fig. 39), the copulatory ducts proceed anterodorsally from the atrium (Figs 38–39), and the spermathecal stalks are transversely oriented (Figs 37, 39).
Description. As in diagnosis and description of the genus and the diagnosis of this species.Additional descriptive characters presented here. Abdomen patterned, legs unbanded.
Male: Unknown.
Female: (n=5). Epigyne (Fig. 40) with a single anteriorly located atrial opening. Vulva (Figs 41–42) with very short copulatory ducts with posterior-most portion heavily sclerotized and visible ventrally through epigynal integument as two darkened areas (Fig. 40); spermathecal heads at anterior margin of spermathecae, undifferentiated from spermathecal stalks; stalks short; Bennett’s glands large, conspicuous; spermathecal bases usually visible through epigynal integument (Fig. 40) with short, slightly constricted anterior region adjacent to Bennett’s glands and elongate, oval, bulbous posterior region; fertilization ducts attached to ventral surface of posterior region of bases.
Measurements (n=3). CL 1.68, 1.98, 2.00; CW 1.25, 1.45, 1.48; SL 0.95, 1.08, 1.13; SW 0.87, 0.99, 1.03. Holotype listed second.
Distribution and natural history. (Fig. 84). Neocybaeina burnetti spec. nov. is known only from a small area of Curry County in coastal southwestern Oregon, U.S.A. The conservation status of this species is unknown: all specimens were collected during a 2–3 day period in late September and early October 1959 and apparently no specimens have been collected subsequently.

Material examined
CHILE • 1 ♀ with red eggs; Canal Ultima Esperanza SE; -44.5909°, -74.34921667°; 25 m depth; 10 Apr. 2014; HF21; from the leather-coral Alcyonium; ZMB 34204 (Fig. 23) • 4 specs; Isla Huemules NE, -45.915550°, -73.661367°; 18.3 m depth; 30 Nov. 2011; C 285; in sponge; no depository data.
Distribution
Southern Chile (Esquete & Aldea 2015) and material from this study.
Depth range
5–18.3 m.
Type locality
Southern Chile, Bernardo O’Higgins National Park: 51°04′04.7″ S, 74°08′29.5″ W, 5–15 m (Esquete & Aldea 2015).
Type specimen location
Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile (AMP-15038–15039).
Remarks
The specimens studied herein, collected at 18–25 m depth, lived somewhat deeper than the type material (5–15 m), but are collected in an adjacent region. Originally they were found between -49° to -51° and -74° to -75° now they also occur from -44° to -45° and -73° to -74°, thus from less southern and less western Chilean coasts.
Morphologically our material matches perfectly the detailed original drawings of L. kawesqari. Only some additional notes about the urosome are given here: in Esquete & Aldea (2015: 91, fig. 4) the labels of uropod 2 and uropod 3 were mixed up; uropod 2 has the shorter ramus allometric, as in mature animals it is 60% of the longer one and this longer ramus is longer than the peduncle, in younger specimens the difference of the rami is less clear. The shape of the telson is identical to the original drawings, but the distal end in our material has always 3 teeth and 2 setae sitting next to the tip.

Parancistrocerus acclivus Gusenleitner 2007: 97, 99, ♀ —“ Laos: Lao Pako env., 55 km NE of Vientiane ” (OLML).
Diagnosis. The female of this species can be distinguished from the other Oriental species of Pseudonortonia by the following combination of characters: clypeus sparsely and finely punctate; occipital carina shallow and straight on gena; pronotal carina entirely absent dorsally and forming spiniform teeth on humeri; propodeal shelf shorter than metanotum and shallowly depressed; T1 1.3× as long as apically wide, sparsely punctate with interspaces large and flattened, and with apical margin reflexed; T2 preapically depressed and densely punctate, with reflexed and crenate apical margin; S2 evenly convex.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE OF PARANCISTROCERUS ACCLIVUS: ♀, labeled: “HOLOTYPUS [red label] / LAOS, 4.v.2004 / LAO PAKO env. / 55 km NE of Vientiane / leg. F.

THAILAND: Chiang Mai, 100 km N of Chiang Mai, Chiang Dao Hill Resort, 540-640 m, 4-11.IX.2016, 1♀ (MSVI).
Distribution. Laos; Thailand * (Gusenleitner 2007) (Fig. 10).
Notes. Gusenleitner (2007) described this species in the genus Parancistrocerus Bequaert, but it clearly cannot be assigned to that genus due to the following characters: strongly elongate mesosoma, propodeum with a long horizontal shelf behind metanotum, subpetiolate T1 and absence of a basal acarinarium on T2. These characters support instead the placement of the taxon in the genus Pseudonortonia, where it is morphologically related to P. gujaratica (Nurse).

(Fig. 7)
Odynerus henricus Cameron 1908: 306, ♂ —“ Bombay ” (NHMUK, type no. 18.296).
Diagnosis. Distinguished from the other Oriental species of Pseudonortonia by the short T1 and the basally concave S2.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE OF ODYNERUS HENRICUS: ♂ labeled “Type [circular label with red border] // Ancistrocerus / henricus Cam / Type Bombay // P. Cameron Coll. / 1914-110. // B.M. TYPE / HYM. / 18.296 // [QR code] NHMUK015610166” (NHMUK).
Distribution. India: Maharastra (Cameron 1908) (Fig. 10).
Notes. Pseudonortonia henrica is distinct among the Oriental species of Pseudonortonia in possessing propodeum and T1 more similar to some African and Arabian species of the genus. The placement in Pseudonortonia, originally proposed by Giordani Soika (1941), is here provisionally maintained. The club-shaped antenna and the morphology of the second sternite place this species close to other genera with carinate T1 such as Subancistrocerus de Saussure and Stenancistrocerus de Saussure, and are also observed in an undescribed Eumenine wasp from Pakistan with uncertain generic affinities (M. Selis, unpublished data). The actual generic attribution of Pseudonortonia henrica will have to be discussed in the light of a phylogenetic study of Pseudonortonia and related genera.

Figures 44–59
TYPES: Male holotype (and male paratype) from Puerto Manatí, Las Tunas, Cuba (Dec. 1981; L. F. de Armas), deposited in BSC (609).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of the eminent Cuban arachnologist, Luis F. de Armas, collector of the holotype.
DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by the basally thickened embolus with a short, bifid tip (figs. 51, 52), females by the relatively wide anterior margin of the receptaculum (figs. 58, 59). Males and females have not been collected together, but are here matched because of their geographic proximity and their mutual affinities to other members of the species group.
MALE: Total length 2.40 (figs. 44–52). Carapace pale yellow, with dark purple margins separated from median reticulations by distinct submarginal unmarked bands, reticulations darker laterally than medially. Sternum pale orange, with pair of anterolateral dark spots just posterior of endites. Dorsum of abdomen light purple with four white chevrons, chevrons largest anteriorly. Legs pale yellow, with darkened sides on distal halves of femora, tibiae, and anterior metatarsi. Base of embolus wide, tip bifid (figs. 51, 52).
FEMALE: Total length 3.98 (figs. 53–59). Coloration as in male except posterior metatarsi also with darkened sides. Genitalia with short, broad anterior margin occupying more than three-fourths of receptacular width (figs. 58, 59).

Using Complex Citations to Close a Provenance Gap and Open an AI Highway Between IPCC and CMIP
Creators: name: Pascoe, Charlotte

Subjects: Complex Citation

IPCC
CMIP6

description: Many of the figures in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) are derived from the data of more than 100 climate model simulations.  However, recording over 100 data citations for a single figure would overwhelm traditional publication methods. The complex citation, named by the Research Data Alliance (RDA), is an idea to combine many metadata references into a single citable object.  We present an implementation solution for the IPCC complex citation use case which uses the CERN publication platform, Zenodo. 

Our Zenodo innovation uses a widely available resource to provide traceability, credit, impact metrics and a learning conduit for Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has the potential to be adopted as best practice by the data publication community.  It is an example of how innovation that has come about through the effort to increase IPCC data transparency can benefit the wider scientific community.

A Zenodo record is created for each figure, it establishes traceability by collating references to the figure’s input datasets, and credit via Zenodo’s related work/ DataCite’s relation features.  The Zenodo record acts as a node in a knowledge graph landscape, a machine actionable network of connections which maximises the potential of AI to make use of environmental data.

Credit: 

Zenodo’s related work feature links to existing data objects via their Persistent Identifiers (PIDs), in this case the CMIP6 data citation Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).

CMIP6 data citation DOIs are assigned at a dataset collection level which is sufficient granularity to assign credit.

Traceability: 

The specific CMIP6 dataset granules used in the figure are identified by their CMIP6 data reference syntax (DRS).

Files containing the mappings between CMIP6 data collection DOIs and the specific data granules used in the figure are placed in the Zenodo record in csv and json formats.

Impact: 

The Zenodo record is issued with its own DOI via DataCite.

This DOI connects the Zenodo record to the wider knowledge graph landscape.

Modellers can demonstrate the impact of sharing their data in terms of specific science outputs.

AI:

Complete chains of machine actionable metadata “from source to plot” provide a conduit for people and AI to learn how environmental data can be used.

Complex citations provide a mechanism to document explainable AI data usage.

There is still work to be done to establish full visibility of credit referenced within a Zenodo complex citation record. We hope to engage the community by presenting our prototype solution to the complex citation challenge which was developed in consultation with the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Complex Citation Working Group and the NERC Environmental Data Service (EDS).
