description: Palaeodytes Ponomarenko, 1987
Type species: Palaeodytes sibiricus Ponomarenko, 1987.
Notes: The genus is characterized by a short band-like pronotum and short head, together about 1/3 as long as the elytra; metacoxal plates longest in their lateral third (lateral of the external margins of the mesocoxae); lateral lobe of metaventrite half as long as metacoxal plate, median platforms of mesocoxae separated from the anterior margins of mesocoxae by a line, rounded apically and notched laterally; and dilated and flattened metatibia and metatarsus, the latter longer than the former.
It differs from members of the subfamily Liadytiscinae in the shorter lateral lobe of the metaventrite, shorter and more dilated metatibia and metatarsus, and short pronotum; from Sinoporus it differs in the metaventrite with concave posterior margins of the lateral lobe (cf. Figs 17 and 23).
The new species described below belongs to this genus according to the combination of two characters: metacoxa nearly twice as long as the lateral lobe of the metaventrite (LC/LV ≈ 2), and absence of an elevated laterally limited area of the metaventrite.

description: " Palaeodytes " incompletus Ponomarenko, Coram & Jarzembowski, 2005
This species was recently described from the Berriasian Purbek Limestone Group, UK. Its body outline is uncharacteristic of Palaeodytes (cf. fig. 4 in Ponomarenko et al. 2005: 280) and its lateral lobe of the metaventrite has a peculiar shape (resembling, e.g., that of the recent dytiscid Ilybius fenestratus (Fabricius, 1781), although it may be distantly related), with the posterior and anterior margins strongly converging and then slightly diverging again, and converging again near the epipleuron. The genus to which the species belongs is similar in morphological parameters to several recent genera of the family, and it is difficult to provide a diagnosis based on what is known about it. Having at present no opportunity to re-examine the holotype of this species in search of possible distinguishing characters of the genus, we refrain from describing the new genus here. Therefore, in this study the species is provisionally referred to hereinafter as " Palaeodytes " incompletus.

Multimodal communicative behaviours in shy children in assessment situations and social evaluative contexts

description: Shy children are characterised by reserved communicative behaviour, especially in novel situations or when interacting with unfamiliar interlocutors. Many of the contextual elicitors that trigger typical patterns of shyness reactions in children, such as gaze aversion, a more distant approach, or general hesitation, may be present in typical laboratory settings or in standardised testing situations, for example, language assessment tests. In our chapter, we review recent studies that operationalise shy childrens communicative behaviour at verbal and nonverbal levels with different social partners, such as humans or social robots, as interaction partners, providing practitioners with a sound overview of communicative signals that are challenging to capture and measure in practical settings. From this, we derive critical implications for the design of testing situations for children that allow them to unfold their communicative potential and demonstrate their linguistic competence, taking into account their individual temperamental characteristics.

description: Cretodytes Ponomarenko, 1977
Type species: Cretodytes latipes Ponomarenko, 1977.
Notes: The genus is characterized by the short lateral lobe of the metaventrite, deep and rather wide cavity at the apex of the anterior metaventral process, and elevated median platforms of metacoxae, which are weakly diverging, but dilated and rounded apically. It differs from Palaeodytes in the longest point of the metacoxal plate situated at the level of the external margin of mesocoxae, and in the shorter lateral lobe of the metaventrite (which also distinguishes it from Liadytiscinae); from " Palaeodytes " incompletus it differs in the shape of the lateral lobe of the metaventrite and shape of the metacoxal processes; and from Sinoporus, in the concave posterior margins of the lateral lobes of the metaventrite (cf. Figs 20 and 23).
The new species belongs to this genus according to the combination of two characters: metacoxal plate three times as long as the lateral lobe of the metaventrite and absence of a laterally limited elevated median area of the metaventrite.

description: Genus Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy
Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 425. Type species: Bengalia testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, by designation of Duponchel (1842: 542) (= Musca torosa Wiedemann, 1819).
For lists of generic synonyms see James (1977) and Pont (1980). An updated list is given by Rognes (2011b). Rognes (2015) established that an old, hitherto misunderstood name, Plinthomyia Rondani, 1875, is also a synonym of Bengalia. The genus Bengalia has been characterized by several authors, including Bezzi (1911, 1913), Surcouf (1920), Malloch (1927), Senior-White et al. (1940), Zumpt (1956), Lehrer (2005, as Bengaliidae) and Rognes (2011b), and its defining character states need not be repeated here. Rognes (1997) discussed the systematic position of Auchmeromyiinae and Bengaliinae (then considered separate) in the broader context of nonmonophyly of the Calliphoridae, whereas Rognes (2011b) presented a phylogenetic analysis of the relationship of the genera of the Bengaliinae (including Bengalia) within a revised concept of this subfamily.

(Figs 257–262)
Bengalia robertsi Kurahashi, 1987: 70. HoloType ♂ (BPBM; examined), by original designaTion. Type localiTy: Papua New Guinea (Morobe Province, Kulolo Creek, Bulolo).
Temaseka robertsi: Lehrer (2005: 150). [Lehrer copied the original description, including the figures, and remarked “[n]ous ne connaissons pas cette espèce, …”.]
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂ (BPBM), labelled as shown in Fig. 257. The dried out terminalia (not examined) are situated in a glass microvial, with a cork stopper, pinned together with the specimen (Fig. 257).
Discussion. This species lacks discal setae on T5 and was included in the Bengalia torosa species-group (Gangelomyiinae) by Lehrer (2005). Lehrer (2005), copying Kurahashi’s description in toto, placed B. robertsi in his newly created nominal genus Temaseka together with B. concava Malloch and T. mallochi Lehrer, on the basis of alleged similarities in the distiphallus. By his own admission, he had not seen any material himself (“[n]ous ne connaissons pas cette espèce”). The greater ampulla is gourd-shaped (i.e., pointed at its lower end) (Figs 259, 262), which places it in the Bengalia labiata Robineau-Desvoidy species-group. Note also the position of a particular seta (the Hough seta) inside of the row of two sa setae (Fig. 262). This seta is mentioned by Kurahashi under another name (… “first postsutural ia is located laterad of longitudinal intraalar line, …”). This seta is also present in Bengalia labiata Robineau-Desvoidy (KR) but it is usually absent in the genus Bengalia. Rognes (2011b: 19) discussed the occurrence of the Hough seta in the Bengaliinae. The fore tibia has a single strong v seta (Figs 260– 261). I cannot locate the single p seta mentioned by Kurahashi. I have not examined the terminalia, but I find no evidence of semidomes or a distal lip process on the distiphallus in the figures published by Kurahashi (1987). I leave a more detailed description of the distiphallus to revisers of the Bengalia labiata species-group.

Remark. Finland, North European Territory of Russia and West Siberia listed for E. capucinus by Muona (2007) are excluded from the distributional range of this species, since all the previous citations of E. capucinus from these territories refer to E. zaitzevi Mamaev, 1976 (see Muona, 2019; Kovalev & Nikitsky, 2021). The citations of E. capucinus from Belarus, Latvia, and Lithuania needs confirmation as all of them may refer to E. zaitzevi, so these countries are listed with a question mark.
