Dichorragia nesimachus koreana Shimagami, 2000: 26 [Type locality: Mt. Yeonhwa, Kyongsangnam-do, Korea].
Dichorragia nesimachus chejuensis Shimagami, 2000: 27 [Type locality: Kwanumsa, Cheju-do, Korea].
Subspecies. The populations in mainland Korea are considered to belong to subsp. koreana, while those on Jejudo Is. are considered to belong to subsp. chejuensis, both described by Shimagami (2000), until which the name nesiotes had been widely used for the populations in the Korean Peninsula and its adjacent islands.
Adult. Active from early May to late June and mid July to mid September (two broods). Males are often found on the ground near streams, and they are also seen feeding on decomposing organisms or fermenting sap fluid of oak trees. In the afternoon, they move to mountain peaks or ridges to sit on trees and engage in hilltopping. Females are attracted to fermenting fluids, especially fluxes issuing from oak trees.
Larval host plants. Meliosma myriantha Siebold and Zucc. of the Sabiaceae (Fig. 15) and Ficus spp. of the Moraceae (Kim 1965).
Life cycle. Not documented for the Korean populations. Usually pupae hibernate on shrubs near the food plants.
Distribution. Southern Korea (including Jejudo Is., some adjacent islands of southern provinces, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do), China, Taiwan, Japan, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia and northern India.

description: This paper introduces a framework for the automated evaluation of natural language texts. A manually constructed rubric describes how to assess multiple dimensions of interest. To evaluate a text, a large language model (LLM) is prompted with each rubric question and produces a distribution over potential responses. The LLM predictions often fail to agree well with human judges -- indeed, the humans do not fully agree with one another. However, the multiple LLM distributions can be $\textit{combined}$ to $\textit{predict}$ each human judge's annotations on all questions, including a summary question that assesses overall quality or relevance. LLM-Rubric accomplishes this by training a small feed-forward neural network that includes both judge-specific and judge-independent parameters. When evaluating dialogue systems in a human-AI information-seeking task, we find that LLM-Rubric with 9 questions (assessing dimensions such as naturalness, conciseness, and citation quality) predicts human judges' assessment of overall user satisfaction, on a scale of 1--4, with RMS error $< 0.5$, a $2\times$ improvement over the uncalibrated baseline.

Huxleyia pentadonta Scarlato, 1981: 215, fig. 117.
Material examined: nine specimens from the ocean and sea slopes of Paramushir Island (214–804 m).
Distribution: northern Kuril Islands (Paramushir and Shumshu Islands) (67–804 m) (Scarlato 1981; Kantor & Sysoev 2005).
Remarks: Previously, this species was found only in one sample (two specimens) collected from off Shumshu Island at a depth of 67 m (Scarlato 1981). Huxleyia pentadonta Scarlato, 1981, is very similar in shell shape to Huxleyia munita (Dall, 1898) from the northeastern Pacific but has 5 hinge teeth (Scarlato 1981) whereas H. munita has 6 hinge teeth (Coan, Valentich-Scott & Bernard 2000). The left valve of a specimen of H. munita in a photograph given in Coan, Valentich-Scott & Bernard (2000), however, has also 5 hinge teeth. Therefore, we think that the hinge of H. munita needs to be studied more thoroughly. It is quite possible that H. pentadonta turns out to be a synonym of H. munita.

The pithos production of Ainos during the Ottoman period

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη ασχολείται με την παραγωγή των αινίτικων πίθων και τη διάδοσή τους στον αιγαιακό χώρο κατά την οθωμανική περίοδο. Η Αίνος (σημερινή Enez), στην ανατολική όχθη του Δέλτα του ποταμού Έβρου, αποτελούσε από την αρχαιότητα ένα από τα σημαντικότερα οικονομικά και εμπορικά κέντρα του Βορείου Αιγαίου. Κατά τους βυζαντινούς και οθωμανικούς χρόνους ανέπτυξε μεγάλη ναυτιλιακή δύναμη, ελέγχοντας όλο το διαμετακομιστικό εμπόριο της Θράκης και των Βαλκανίων. Η πόλη εμπορευόταν ποικίλα προϊόντα, αλλά ήταν περιζήτητη κυρίως για τα αποθηκευτικά πιθάρια της, που ξεχώριζαν για το μέγεθος και την εξαιρετική αντοχή τους, και ήταν ιδανικά για την αποθήκευση του λαδιού. Οι αινίτικοι πίθοι, με το χαρακτηριστικό τροπιδωτό –σχεδόν αμφικωνικό– σώμα, και την ανάγλυφη, έντυπη ή εγχάρακτη διακόσμηση στον ώμο, μεταφέρονταν σε όλα σχεδόν τα παράλια και τα νησιά του Αιγαίου, αλλά και στην ενδοχώρα της Ανατολικής Μακεδονίας και της Θράκης. Ένα από τα πρωιμότερα δείγματα χρονολογείται στο πρώτο μισό του 18ου αι., ωστόσο υπάρχουν ισχυρές ενδείξεις ότι η πιθοπλαστική της Αίνου ανάγεται πιθανώς στον 16ο αι., αν όχι νωρίτερα. The present study focuses on the pithos production of Ainos and its distribution in the Aegean Sea during the Ottoman period. Ainos (Turkish: Enez) was one of the major economic and commercial centers of the Northern Aegean throughout antiquity on the eastern bank of the Evros River delta. During the Byzantine and Ottoman periods it developed a great maritime power, controlling the entire transit trade of Thrace and the Balkans. The town traded in a variety of goods, but it was most famous for its storage pithoi, which were large and extremely durable and thus ideal for storing olive oil. The Ainian pithoi, with their characteristic keel-shaped―almost biconical―body, as well as their relief, stamped or incised decoration on the shoulder, were transported to almost all the coasts and islands of the Aegean, but also to the interior of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. One of the earliest samples dates to the first half of the 18th century, but there is strong evidence that the pithos production of Ainos probably dates back to the 16th century, if not earlier.

Material examined: eight specimens from the sea slope of the southern Kuril Islands (Iturup and Kunashir Islands) and the Shpanberg Strait (5–55 m).
Distribution: Yellow Sea; Taiwan; Okinawa, Kyushu to Hokkaido; Sea of Japan; south Kuril Islands, Shpanberg Strait (0–68 m) (Scarlato 1981; Darkina & Lutaenko 1996; Evseev 2000; Matsukuma & Okutani 2000, 2017; Kantor & Sysoev 2005; Lutaenko & Maestrati 2007; Liu 2008; Nobetsu & Yamazaki 2011; Lutaenko & Noseworthy 2012; Lee 2013).
Remarks: Previously, this warm-water species was recorded only from off Kunashir Island (Evseev 2000). New findings of Tetrarca boucardi (Jousseaume, 1894) have extended the range of this species northward along the Kuril Islands to Iturup. Lutaenko & Maestrati (2007) indicated that T. boucardi was found at depths to 175 m, but it is not completely clear whether those findings were live-collected individuals or empty shells.

Variation. C. murale is decidedly variable in size, habit and leaves, often doubtless due to habitat. Dr. Aellen has determined Haarer B. 156 (K!) as C. murale var. spissidentatum Murr in Mag. Bot. Lapok 2: 11, t. 8, fig. 32 (1903) (C. murale f. spissidentatum (Murr) Aell. in Verh. Naturf. Gesellsch. Basel 41: 87 (1930). This represents a form with the teeth on the leaves rather more numerous, closer and more prominent than usual, but the difference is at best but slight and can readily be matched in Europe. For the present it is preferably considered, with other comparable extremes known, elsewhere but lacking any geographical correlation, which will very probably turn up in our area, as falling within the normal range of variation, of C. murale.
In spite of its Latin name, in Africa as in England, it is no use searching for C. murale on walls.
C. longidjawense A. Peter is probably C. murale, but the type being no longer extant, there is an element of doubt. The hairs on some of the anthers, noted by Peter, are probably fungal.

Material examined: 27 specimens from the ocean and sea slopes of Polonsky, Shikotan, Kunashir, Iturup, Brat Chirpoyev, and Simushir Islands (30–500 m).
Distribution: Kuril Islands; Kamchatka Peninsula; Aleutian Islands; Bering Sea; Pribilof Island and Bristol Bay, south to Cape Flattery, Washington (15–500 m) (Coan, Valentich-Scott & Bernard 2000).
Remarks: This is a new record from the region of the Kuril Islands. The species is widely distributed in the North Pacific (depth 15–274 m) (Coan, Valentich-Scott & Bernard 2000). In the Northwest Pacific, it was previously found only off the Kamchatka Peninsula (Coan, Valentich-Scott & Bernard 2000). The present finding down to the southernmost islands from depths to 500 m thus substantially expands its known geographical and depth range.

A tale of two Homers: The discovery and significance of dedications to Homer in Farsala (ancient Pharsalos), Thessaly
Creators: name: Rönnlund, Robin
Publisher: name: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Year: 2025
Subjects: Thessaly; archival studies; Homer; Homeric; Pharsalos; Achilles; Patroclus; Larissa

description: Governmental reports of the late 19th century, kept in the National Archive of Monuments in Athens, contain information regarding the discovery and protection of antiquities in the region of Thessaly. Among these documents are the records detailing the fate of two inscribed statue bases, with dedications to Homer, found in the town of Farsala (ancient Pharsalos) in 1882 and 1886. Due to infrastructural challenges and episodes of military instability, the two bases were mistakenly published as a single object and have until now been treated as such. The historical sources, the two inscribed bases, and the implications of Homeric monuments in ancient Pharsalos, are presented here, together with the text of the key source documents. In an appendix, a base for a bust of Homer found 1909 in Larissa is also presented.Κυβερνητικές αναφορές από τον 19ο αιώνα, που φυλάσσονται στο Εθνικό Αρχείο Μνημείων στην Αθήνα, περιέχουν πληροφορίες σχετικές με την ανακάλυψη και την προστασία αρχαιοτήτων στη Θεσσαλία. Μεταξύ αυτών των αναφορών υπάρχουν έγγραφα που περιγράφουν λεπτομερώς την τύχη δύο ενεπίγραφων βάσεων αγαλμάτων, με αφιέρωμα στον Όμηρο, που βρέθηκαν στα Φάρσαλα (αρχαία Φάρσαλος) τα έτη 1882 και 1886. Λόγω της έλλειψης υποδομής αλλά και της κατά καιρούς στρατιωτικής αστάθειας, οι δύο αυτές βάσεις περιγράφηκαν και ορίστηκαν κατά λάθος ως ένα αντικείμενο – ένα λάθος που δεν έχει διορθωθεί μέχρι σήμερα. Οι ιστορικές πηγές, η απόδειξη των δυο βάσεων, και η σημασία των ομηρικών μνημείων στην αρχαία Φάρσαλο, παρουσιάζονται εδώ μαζί με τα κείμενα μερικών βασικών εγγράφων της μελέτης, καθώς επίσης και μια βάση προτομής του Ομήρου που βρέθηκε το 1909 στη Λάρισα.

description: Η ανακήρυξη της Κύπρου σε επίσημο κράτος το 1960 αποτελεί ορόσημο στη σύγχρονη ιστορία του νησιού. Το δοτό όμως σύνταγμα περιείχε διατάξεις με διχοτομικό χαρακτήρα που προκαλούσαν τόσο προβλήματα στην εύρυθμη λειτουργία του κράτους, όσο και στην ειρηνική συνύπαρξη Ελληνοκυπρίων-Τουρκοκυπρίων. Οι προσπάθειες για συνταγματικές αλλαγές πυροδότησαν μια σειρά αλυσιδωτών γεγονότων που οδήγησαν στις διακοινοτικές συγκρούσεις του 1963-64, ενώ η πολιτική, κοινωνική και στρατιωτική αστάθεια της επόμενης δεκαετίας κορυφώθηκε με την τουρκική εισβολή του 1974.Η παρούσα μελέτη παρουσιάζει τις μεθόδους και τα εργαλεία της ιστορίας, ιστοριογραφίας, και χαρτογραφίας, αναδεικνύοντας τη θετική τους συμβολή στη δικαστική αρχαιολογία. Συγκεκριμένα, αναλύονται οι πτυχές, τα μεθοδολογικά εργαλεία κι η συμβολή της ιστορικής, ιστοριογραφικής, και χαρτογραφικής έρευνας, στον εντοπισμό πιθανών χώρων ταφής και στην ταυτοποίηση των θυμάτων. Αυτά, παρουσιάζονται μέσα από περιπτώσεις-μελέτης που εμπίπτουν στη δικαστική αρχαιολογία, κι αντιπαραβάλλονται τόσο στο πλαίσιο του προγράμματος ταυτοποιήσεων της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, όσο και σε αυτό του ανθρωπιστικού προγράμματος δικανικών ταυτοποιήσεων της Διερευνητικής Επιτροπής Αγνοουμένων. Σημείο αναφοράς αποτελεί η ανάδειξη αυτών των εργαλείων από τις διεθνείς ομάδες εμπειρογνωμόνων που βοήθησαν στην οργάνωση κι εδραίωση των εν λόγω προγραμμάτων, κι οι τρόποι συνεχούς ενίσχυσης αυτών των πτυχών από την έναρξη των πρώτων εκταφών το 1999 μέχρι σήμερα. Παράλληλα αναδεικνύεται ότι η λειτουργία αυτών των προγραμμάτων δε βοηθά μόνο στην επιστημονική κατοχύρωση της ταυτοποίησης των λειψάνων, αλλά μέσα από το ιστορικό υπόβαθρο της λειτουργίας τους φτάνοντας ως σήμερα, μαζί με τις προφορικές μαρτυρίες, μπορούν να λειτουργήσουν ως σημείο αναφοράς για καλές πρακτικές (τεχνικές-επιστημονικές μέθοδοι εργασίας) που ακολουθούνται για άλλα αντίστοιχα προγράμματα στο εξωτερικό.

Type: Kenya, Mfc. Kenya, 2550 m" westward to the Kasorongai R., 1950 m., Meams 1814 (US, holo.!)
Leaves acute at apex. Teeth (on well-developed leaves) comparatively few, generally 7-20 (-25) on each margin,acute, mostly coarse, little teeth few.

Distb. K3, 4, 5; not known elsewhere. May occur in K6 on the Mau; confirmation wanted
Hab. (of species as whole). Insufficiently known; recorded from upland evergreen forest, by roadsides, and as a weed in cultivated areas and waste places; 1310-2440 m.
This very interesting species, known outside our area only from Ethiopia, is related to C. murale, whose leaves are often more cuneate at base than in C, fasciculosum and with different toothing. The seeds of C. murale are, however, very different, smaller, sharply keeled, with a persistent pericarp and rounded not elongate-branched pits on the surface of the testa. This is a good example of a frequent occurrence among goosefeet: where constant seed-diiferences reinforce vegetative differences which though clear are hard to convey in words.
Aellen in his original description of C. fasciculosum gives the range in size of seed as 1.25-2 mm.; I have not seen ripe seeds less than 1.5 mm.

Material examined: Bulgaria, Sofia, Borisova Gradina Park, 42°41’08.2”N 23°20’00.5”E, 560 m a.s.l., 09.i.2022, 1 ♂, 1 ♀ (emerged between February 1st and 5th); the same locality, 15.i.2022, 1 ♀ (emerged between February 1st and 5th); the same locality and date, 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ (emerged between February 5th and 11th); the same locality and date, 1♂, 2 ♀♀ (emerged between February 11th and 16th); the same locality, 16.i.2022, 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ (emerged between February 5th and 11th); the same locality and date, 1 ♂ (emerged between February 11th and 16th).
A total of 16 adults (eight males and eight females) were obtained from the collected pods by mid-February. The first three adult specimens were observed emerged from the podson the 5th of February. Мost of the adults (nine specimens) emerged between February 5th and 11th, about three weeks after the pods were collected. Larvae of Bruchinae, most likely belonging to the same species, have been observed in dissected pods immediately after collection in early January (Fig. 1B). Megabruchidius dorsalis has a multivoltine life cycle and overwinters as larvae and adults (Kurota & Shimada 2001). In the present study, no adult beetles were found in the pods in January and adult emergence started two weeks after collecting the pods. The small scale of the research however, does not allow conclusions about the life cycle of the species in the newly occupied area.
Megabruchidius dorsalis differ from M. tonkineus by the absence of a long tooth at the apex of the hind tibia and also in the mainly black elytra (in fully sclerotized specimens) (Yus Ramos 2009, Korotyaev 2015) (Fig. 2). The morphology of the male genitalia of the examined specimens corresponds to that illustrated by Borowiec (1987) and Yus Ramos (2009) (Fig. 3).
The main host plant of M. dorsalis in Europe - G. triacanthos, is a non-native ornamental species and no immediate threat to natural habitats can be expected after establishment of the new alien beetle species. Moreover, in cases of moderate damage to the seeds of G. triacanthos, M. dorsalis can facilitate their germination (Horvat & Sajna 2021a).
