description: Dario kajal Britz & Kullander, 2015
(Fig. 2)
Material examined. DU 9033–9034, NRM 66171–66175, 68305, 14, 6.8 – 17.5 mm SL. Bangladesh: Sylhet Division: Sylhet District: Fenchuganj, roadside ditch in Garuli floodplain, 4 km south of Sylhet, 24°41′40″N 91°56′44″E; M.M. Rahman, 22 Mar 2016.
Diagnosis. Dario comprises six species of small adult size, distinguished from species of Badis by absence of a postcranial lateral line; shorter dorsal fin with 13–15 vs. 15–18 spines; truncate instead of rounded caudal fin; absence of lateral-line pores from the dentary, infraorbital series and anguloarticular; absence of teeth from the palatine, basihyal, and basibranchial 3; and fewer scales (24 vs. 26 or more) along the middle of the side (Kullander & Britz (2002). The Bangladeshi specimens of B. kajal agree in morphology and colour pattern with the original description of specimens from Meghalaya (Britz & Kullander 2015). In life, males are pale red or rosy, with irregular red vertical stripes on the dorsal sides. Preserved males (Fig. 2) are pale beige, abdominal sides pale maroon; short dorsal bars are formed from dark scale bases, and a dark brown short postorbital stripe runs posterodorsad from the orbit. Females are pale grey in life and preserved in ethanol. Counts from three larger Bangladeshi specimens (11.8–17.5 mm SL): dorsal-fin rays XV.5½; anal-fin rays III.5 ½; vertebrae 13+12=25; scales in lateral row 24.
Geographical distribution and habitat. Fourteen specimens of Dario kajal were seined from a densely vegetated roadside ditch close to Sylhet (Figs 3–4).

description: Redescription of Homaloptera stephensoni
This taxon was first described by Hora (1932) based on a single specimen obtained from the upper Mahakam basin in East Kalimantan. Hora re-identified the taxon that Popta (1905, 1906) had earlier listed as Helgia modesta Vinciguerra (a species described from Myanmar). This name had subsequently been used for populations identified from other localities in Borneo. Because of its poor original definition and illustration, this unique type specimen is herein re-described together with fresh comparable material from Central Kalimantan. The re-description may provide a basis for further comparative work with the other populations of Homaloptera in Borneo.

Eudigraphis Silvestri, 1948: 217 [type species: Eudigraphis ja- ponica Silvestri, 1948 (= Eudigraphis takakuwai)]; Nguy- en Duy-Jacquemin and Geoffroy 2003: 299; Short and Vahtera 2017: 2456.
Diagnosis. Head with 8 ocelli each side. Body with 10 segments, 9 pleural projections, a telson, and 13 pairs of legs in adults. Differs from Monographis Attems, 1907, in 6th antennal segments having just 3 bacilliform sensilla, respectively, and by having caudal trichomes with more numerous (range: 2–6) barbed hooks arranged in a line. Differs from Unixenus in the presence of a single usually continuous row of trichomes along the posterior edge of the tergites.
Included species. Six species: E. takakuwai, E. nigricans, E. kinutensis, E. sinensis Ishii and Liang, 1990, E. taiwanensis Ishii, 1990, and E. xishuangbanna Ishii and Yin, 2000.
Distribution. Japan, Taiwan, and China.
Remarks. Miyosi (1959) synonymized Eudigraphis with Monographis by expanding definition of the latter. However, Eudigraphis has been treated as a distinct genus different from Monographis since the revision of Monographis by Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin and Condé (1967) (also see Shinohara and Ishii 1984; Ishii 1988).
Japanese species of Eudigraphis seem to show close morphological similarity to Unixenus Jones, 1944 (Short and Huynh 2013; Huynh and Veenstra 2018a), especially in position and the number of bacilliform sensilla on distal segments of the antennae (cf., fig. 6 in Huynh and Veenestra 2018a) and in morphology of the gnathochilarium (cf., fig. 4F in Huynh and Veenestra 2018a). However, Japanese Eudigraphis differs from Unixenus in morphology of biarticuated setae on the second legs and show similarity to Monographis in this character (cf., fig. 12 in Huynh and Veenestra 2018a). Separation of Eudigraphis from Unixenus seems to be supported by a molecular phylogeny provided by Short and Vahtera (2017). However, further detailed analyses seem to be needed.

Manulea Wallengren, 1863, Wiener entomologische Monatschrift, 7: 145.
Type species: Lithosia gilveola Ochsenheimer, 1810 (a junior synonym of Phalaena palliatella Scopoli, 1763), by subsequent designation by Moore (1878).
Diagnosis. The genus was characterized and compared with Eilema in details by Dubatolov & Zolotuhin (2011). No autapomorphies can be recognized, but in the male genitalia, the combination of the following features is characteristic for the genus: (1) the vinculum is strongly elongate, with thin and weakly sclerotized arms, with membranous intravincular area bearing one or two bunches of androconial scales; (2) the valva has a long and wide dorsal part, costa thin and without processes; (3) the sacculus is relatively narrow and having an elongate distal process well separated from the dorsal part of the valva; (4) the aedeagus vesica bears robust cornuti (Volynkin & Saldaitis 2021).

Macropsalis hoggi Pocock, 1902: 398 (partim).
Spinicrus camelus Forster, 1949: 64 –66, figs. 1–4, 9–10.
Material examined. Paratypes. 2 males, 1 juvenile, Tubrabucca, New South Wales, 31°59’S 151°27’E, 19 January 1948, R. T. M. P[escott] & A. N. B[urns] (MV K-8902).
Diagnosis. Neopantopsalis camelus is distinguished from all other species of Neopantopsalis except N. thaumatopoiois by the small, granular armature on the dorsal prosomal plate and the presence of pseudoarticulations in femur II. It is distinguished from N. thaumatopoios by having a less rugose ocularium, lateral humps less angular in profile, and shorter, more widely spaced spines on femur I.
Description. MALE. A full description of this species is given in Forster (1949), except for the following: Femur II with five pseudosegments (Fig. 13). Penis with left anterior bristle group greatly reduced; stylus directed dorsad from glans (Figs. 14–16).
Comments. Despite being included by Forster (1949) in his genus Spinicrus, there can be no doubting the distinction of Neopantopsalis camelus from other species assigned to that genus, particularly the type species S. tasmanicum. Together with the closely related N. thaumatopoios, N. camelus has a more southerly distribution than other species of Neopantopsalis.
The leg II used to ascertain the presence of pseudoarticulations in the femur was found detached in the paratype vial.

description: Neopantopsalis continentalis (Roewer 1923) n. comb.
Pantopsalis continentalis Roewer 1923: 866, fig. 1032; Forster 1949: 63. Spinicrus continentale (Roewer): Hickman 1957: 73.
Type locality. Winton, Queensland, 22°23’S 143°02’E (Roewer 1923). No material examined.
Comments. The original description of N. continentalis by Roewer (1923) is unfortunately brief, and inadequate to identify the species involved. In establishing his new genus Spinicrus and transferring Pantopsalis tasmanica to it, Forster (1949) mused that it was ‘highly probable that on examination of the type specimen… [P. continentalis] will also be placed in Spinicrus ’, but did not personally do so. Hickman (1957) included this species under the name Spinicrus continentale in his key to the genus, but did not discuss it further, and it is unclear whether he did so due to examination of specimens or by inference from Forster (1949).
The holotype specimen at the Senckenberg Museum, Germany, was not available for direct study due to transport restrictions, but Peter Jäger kindly supplied photos of the holotype and a sketch of its genitalia. The holotype is a minor male of uncertain affinities. The absence of armature on the dorsal prosomal plate or ocularium in Roewer’s (1923) illustration (unfortunately not clearly visible in the photos supplied) originally suggested a relationship with Neopantopsalis psile, but the glans of the penis is proportionately longer than in that species and resembles that of N. quasimodo. While probably a member of the N. quasimodo complex, N. continentalis is distinguishable from that species in the strict sense by the lack of armature on the dorsal prosomal plate and by having proportionately longer bristle groups on both sides of the penis.
Until the identity of N. continentalis can be more clearly established, it is omitted from further consideration. Minor males of Neopantopsalis generally show a reduction in secondary sexual characteristics, and even with a complete investigation into the N. quasimodo complex it may be difficult to conclusively identify N. continentalis.

Type species
Spongiopsyllus adventicius Johnsson, 2000.
Revised diagnosis
Entomolepididae Brady, 1899
Circular body, shield-shaped, composed of cephalosome and pedigerous somites. Pedigerous somites 2 and 3 free. Pedigerous somite 4 expanded posteriorly, covering urosome, except for tip of caudal rami. Three postgenital urosomites in females, four in males. Antennule 14- to 17-segmented. Antennary endopod 2- or 3-segmented; exopod 1-segmented, as long as first endopodal segment. Legs 1 to 3 biramous, 3-segmented. Leg 3 endopod with reduced armature formula. Leg 4 uniramous, 3-segmented exopod.
Remarks
The original diagnosis of the genus was restricted to the body shape and segmentation, and did not deal with the antennule and antenna segmentation, leg morphology or setal formula (Johnsson 2000). The free pedigerous somites 2 and 3 characterize the Entomolepinae which differ from Parmulodinae, (Parmulodes, Paralepeopsyllus, Parmulella, Neoparmulella and Parmulopsyllus), that exhibit pedigerous somites 2 and 3 fused (Wilson 1944; Ummerkutty 1960; Stock 1992; Canário et al. 2019; Farias et al. 2020; Borges et al. 2021). In Entomolepinae, leg 4 is absent in Entomolepis (Brady, 1899), and Lepeopsyllus shows a reduced endopod (Thompson & Scott 1903). The uniramous and 3-segmented leg 4 of Spongiopsyllus is shared with Entomopsyllus (McKinnon 1988), but the later exhibits 2 postgenital segments, instead of 3 exhibited by Spongiopsyllus (Johnsson 2000).

description: Subgenus Tortrilema subgen. n.
Type species: Lithosia postmaculosa Matsumura, 1927.
Diagnosis. Species of the new subgenus (Figs 1–8) differ clearly from those of Manulea s. str. and Nyea (illustrated by Dubatolov & Zolotuhin (2011) and Witt et al. (2011)) in the wider forewing having a postmedially strongly convex costal margin and an elongate apex. Such a forewing shape is unique within the genus Manulea and is more similar to that of certain members of the genus Teulisna Walker, 1862. The forewing markings of Tortrilema subgen. n. are represented by shade-like transverse lines and round spots in the medial area whereas the forewing of Manulea s. str. and Nyea is monotonous or has a pale costal stripe. The male genital capsules of the subgenera are similar but in Tortrilema subgen. n. (Figs 9–14), the vinculum is somewhat shorter than in Manulea s. str. and Nyea (illustrated by Dubatolov & Zolotuhin (2011) and Witt et al. (2011)). The vesica of the new subgenus bears a single elongate and narrow cornutus while the vesicae of Manulea s. str. and Nyea bear a few short thorn-like cornuti or one large cornutus strongly dilated basally. The female genitalia of the subgenera display no remarkable differences. The subgenus can be subdivided into two species-groups different in both the external appearance and the genitalia structures of both sexes.
Distribution. Species of the genus are known from southwestern and southern mainland China, Taiwan Island and northern Indochina (northern Vietnam).
Etymology. The generic name is an aggregate of the family name Tortricidae and the genus name Eilema and refers to the unusual forewing shape reminiscent of that of members of the family Tortricidae.

Eleodes convexicollis Walker, 1866. vol. 2. p. 328 (nec Blaisdell 1909).
Original Description: “Black, rather dull. Head slightly excavated on the fore border and on each side in front of the base of the antennae. Head and thorax very minutely punctured. Thorax very convex on each side before the middle. Elytra elongate oval, with distinct punctured striae, somewhat broader than the thorax, and more than thrice its length. Length of the body 14 lines.”
Type Material. HOLOTYPE by monotypy.
Labels: (a) [circular, margined in red; printed] “ Type H.T.” (b) [hand-script] “ convexicollis ”. Eleodes convexicollis Walker was placed in synonymy under Eleodes obscurus (Say 1824) on page 248 of Gebien’s (1910) catalog and we confirm that in fact the specimen is a female of that taxon as currently recognized. Eleodes obscurus is a widespread and variable species occurring from southern Canada to northern Mexico. Walker’s name is the senior homonym of a name proposed by Blaisdell (1909) for a subspecies of Eleodes extricatus (Say) which has been renamed as E. extricatus convexinotus Thomas (2005). A table with synonymy follows the discussion of the next Walker species.

Manulea labahe

description: The M. labahe species-group
Diagnosis. The species-group is characterised by the limited sexual dimorphism expressed by the more elongate forewing apex in the female. In the male genital capsule, the uncus is strongly dilated distally whereas in the M. postmaculosa species-group it is slender and only slightly dilated subapically. The arms of the vinculum of the M. labahe species-group are anteriorly connected by a membranous commissure whereas the vinculum of the M. postmaculosa species-group is evenly sclerotised. The sacculus of the M. labahe species-group is medially constricted but the distal saccular process has a strongly dilated basal section forming a dorsal protrusion while the sacculus of the M. postmaculosa species-group is evenly dilated distally and the distal saccular process has a narrower base. The aedeagus of the M. labahe species-group is markedly narrower than in the M. postmaculosa species-group. The vesica of the M. labahe species-group is short, narrow, membranous and bearing a thin and almost straight cornutus, whereas the vesica of the M. labahe species-group is very broad, bearing clusters of scobination and a long, robust and medially curved cornutus dilated basally and distally. In the female genitalia of the M. labahe species-group, the ductus bursae is narrow, curved and longitudinally rugose whereas it is broad, somewhat curved or straight and membranous or smoothly sclerotised in the M. postmaculosa species-group. The corpus bursae of the M. labahe species-group is teardrop-shaped, membranous and having a long, band-shaped signum while the corpus bursae of the M. postmaculosa species-group is sack-like, more or less gelatinous and lacks a signum. The appendix bursae of the M. labahe species-group is very short, membranous and directed posteriorly whereas the appendix bursae of the M. postmaculosa species-group is gelatinous or with a sclerotised plate and directed postero-laterally or laterally.

description: Eleodes conjunctus Walker (Fig. 2)
Eleodes conjuncta Walker, 1866, vol. 2, p. 329.
Original Description: “Black, rather dull, like H. convexicollis in structure. Head and thorax very minutely punctured. Thorax with a shallow discal on each side hindward; sides less convex than those of H. convexicollis. Scutellum larger. Elytra narrower; their sides more linear. Length of the body, 13 lines.”
Type Material. HOLOTYPE by monotypy.
Labels: (a) [circular, margined in red, printed] “ Type H.T.” (b) [circular, margined in red, printed] “ Type H.T.” (c) [hand-script] “ conjuncta. ” (d) [circular, hand-script] “64 18.”
Eleodes conjunctus Walker was placed in synonymy under Eleodes obscurus (Say 1824) on page 248 of Gebien’s (1910) catalog and we confirm that in fact the specimen is a male of that species. In his description Walker compared conjunctus to convexicollis but used the prefix “H.” instead of “E.” for Eleodes. It may be that this error stems from an early draft wherein Walker had placed his species in Helops F. the next genus treated in his article. It is also likely that the word “impression,” to follow the adjective “discal,” was left out of the published version of the description.
Another relevant and available name is Eleodes sulcipennis (Mannerheim 1843) described from specimens collected in the Pacific Northwest by the Russian expeditions to that area. Horn (1870) reduced its status to a “race” of E. obscurus and it is now considered to be a subspecies following Wickham (1890) and Blaisdell (1909). Walker’s specimens of E. convexicollis and E. conjunctus correspond to that taxon and are therefore junior synonyms of Eleodes obscurus sulcipennis Mannerheim, and they were correctly listed in this combination by Leng (1920).

description: In this lightning talk, I will present the work I'm currently doing as the Zine Library Accessibility Graduate Assistant at Pratt Library, focusing on improving accessibility for blind and low vision users in zine collections. My responsibilities include creating descriptive alt-text for images, enhancing findability through diverse records and keyword functionality, and educating students about the significance of zines. I will discuss the challenges I face, such as generating alt-text as a blind user, and the opportunities for professional growth in navigating these accessibility hurdles. Key takeaways include the importance of radical dependency, fostering collaboration to enhance access, and how these practices can be replicated in other academic libraries to ensure inclusivity and representation. This talk will explore how my role can inspire others to rethink accessibility and advocate for inclusive practices in special collections, particularly for marginalized and disabled students.
