description: Scaptodrosophila latifoliacea sp. nov.
(Figs 3A–C, 8)
Diagnosis. This species resembles S. nigrolimbata Liu & Chen, 2018 in the pattern on the abdomen tergites, but can be distinguished from it by surstylus broadened dorsally (Fig. 8A, B); hypandrium inverted-triangle-shaped in ventral view, with a membrane medially in lateral view; pregonite with pubescence basally (Fig. 8C, D). This species exhibits the closest genetic affinity to S. curvata in light of divergence in COI barcodes (Table 2).
Description. Head (Fig. 3A): Frons yellowish brown. Pedicel yellowish brown. First flagellomere grayish. Facial carina hazel, short, 1/3 the length of face.
Thorax (Fig. 3B, C): Mesonotum yellowish brown. Scutellum hazel. Pleura yellowish brown.
Abdomen (Fig. 3B, C): Tergites II to V yellow with black caudal bands, the caudal bands on tergites II to V interrupted medially.
Male terminalia (Fig. 8): Epandrium with ca. 14 epandrial bristles near posterior and ventral margins per side. Surstylus with 15 peg-like surstylar teeth on caudal margins (Fig. 8A, B). Hypandrium with a pair of paramedian hypandrial bristle. Pregonite with 3 sensilla medially. Phallus lacking pubescence (Fig. 8C, D).

Taxonomy. Uromys moncktoni Thomas, 1904,
“about 8°30’S. lat., 148° E. long. [= Kumusi River],” Northern Province, Papua New Guinea.
Paramelomys moncktoni was initially at- tributed to genus Uromys, but in 1936 H. Rammler included it in Melomys (in subgenus Paramelomys). In 1996 Paramelomys was resurrected as a full genus byJ. I. Menzies, whose revision placed P. moncktoni in the same morphological group as P. gressitti
and P. lorentzii. Monotypic.

Descriptive notes. Head-body 135-170 mm, tail 115-145 mm, ear 18-21 mm, hindfoot 29-33 mm; weight 78-118 g. This medium-sized Paramelomys is very similar to the Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat (P. levipes) and the Common Lowland Mosaictailed Rat (P. platyops). Monckton’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is characterized by the presence of three hairs (instead of one) per scale of the tail. Fur is short, and dorsal pelage is dark brown with black guard hairs, paler flanks, while ventral pelage is white to red. Tail is much shorter than head-body length;it is dark above and paler below. There may be a visible dark eye-ring. Females have two pairs of mammae.
Habitat. [Lowland forests from sea level to 700 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. Littersize is 1-2.
Activity patterns. Monckton’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial and nocturnal.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Monckton’s Mosaic-tailed Rat is widespread, and no major threats are known within its range.
Bibliography. Flannery (1995b), Menzies (1996), Rimmler (1936).

Other common names: Long-nosed Paramelomys
Taxonomy. Uromys naso Thomas, 1911,
“ ‘Whitewater Camp,’ Kafari River, [Nassau Range,] SW. New Guinea. Alt. 400’ [= 122m).”
Paramelomys naso was considered a synonym of P. levipes (within genus Melomys) by various authors, including T. F. Flannery in 1995, but a revision by J. I. Menzies in 1996 found it to be a valid species on basis of morphological and classic morphometric grounds. According to Menzies,it be-
longs to a group oflarge species including P. levipes and P. mollis. Monotypic.
Distribution. SW New Guinea, and Wokam I (Tanahbesar), N Aru Is.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 158-191 mm, tail 132 mm, ear 21 mm, hindfoot 33— 38 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Long-nosed Mosaic-tailed Rat is very similar to Lorentz’s Mosaic-tailed Rat (P. lorentzii) and the Papuan Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat (P. levipes), butit has a longer and more compressed skull and has longer feet. The brown to rufous dorsal pelage contrasts with a grayish-white belly. Tail is shorter than head-body length, and has only one hair perscale; it is bicolored, being dull above and paler below.
Habitat. [Lowland forest from sea level to 1000 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Long-nosed Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Longnosed Mosaic-tailed Rat is widespread and is found in a National Park. No major threats have been reported.

Diagnosis. This species resembles S. helvpecta Liu & Chen, 2018 in the pattern on the abdomen tergites and shape of surstylus, but can be distinguished from the latter by surstylus palm shaped in posterior view (Fig. 11A); postgonite large, expanded antrorsely, with pubescence basally (Fig. 11C, D). This species exhibits the closest genetic affinity to S. longiciliata in light of divergence in COI barcodes (Table 2).

Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat
Paramelomys platyops
French: Mélomys des plaines / German: Gemeine Tiefland-Mosaikschwanzratte / Spanish: Rata de cola moteada de tierras bajas comun
Other common names: Common Lowland Paramelomys, Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat
Taxonomy. Uromys platyops Thomas, 1906,
“Head of Aroa River, S.E. British New Guinea [= Central Province, Papua New Guinea.”
Paramelomys platyops, initially described in genus Uromys, was transferred to Melomys (subgenus Paramelomys) by H. Rimmler in 1936, but a revision byJ. I. Menzies in 1996 resurrected Paramelomys as a valid full genus and provided a new diagnosis for the species. According to Menzies, P. platyops
belongs to a group of smaller species that includes also P. rubex and P. steini. Recent molecular phylogeny by P. Smissen and K. C. Rowe, in H. J. McLennan and colleagues’ 2017 analysis, found P. platyops to be sister taxon of P. rubex. The extensive range of P. platyops suggests that it may represent a species complex; no subspecies have been defined, but urgent revision needed. Currently treated as monotypic.
Distribution. Present in most of mainland New Guinea, as well as a number ofislands in the Raja Ampat Is (Batanta), Cenderawasih (= Geelvink) Bay (Yapen and Biak), and the Bismarck Archipelago (New Britain) and D’Entrecasteaux Is (Goodenough, Fergusson, and Normanby).
Descriptive notes. Head-body 130-155 mm, tail 105-125 mm, ear 15-19 mm, hindfoot 27-29 mm; weight 65-102 g. The Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat has a silvergray dense dorsal pelage and a paler gray ventral one. The naked tail is grayish black; it is shorter than head-body length, and there is one hair per tail scale. Females bear two pairs of mammae.
Habitat. Disturbed habitats in lowland forest, from sea level to 1200 m.
Food and Feeding. Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rats feed on insects.
Breeding. A female was caught with a single young.
Activity patterns. The Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial and nocturnal.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Individuals have been observed foraging on ground litter and also in small trees less than 2 m high.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Common Lowland Mosaic-tailed Rat is widespread and adapts to anthropogenic habitats. It is reasonably common in many parts ofits range.

Material examined. Brazil: Pará: Conceição do Araguaia, VII.1959, M. Alvarenga (1 ♀), Santarém, IX.1955, M. Alvarenga (1 ♀); Rondônia: Abunã, XI.1962, W. Bokerman (1 ♀).
Notes. According to Moure and Camargo (1988), this is a very common species in southeastern Brazil and the female of this species can be easily separated from females of most of the sympatric species of subgenus Neoxylocopa by its brilliant green wing iridescence. In describing this species, Moure and Camargo did not compare it to X. (N.) amazonica, a similar species whose distribution overlaps in part with that of X. (N.) suspecta. In the material that I examined, the wing iridescence of females of X. (N.) amazonica is much less brilliant, and is distinctly bluish-green, particularly towards the base of the wing. The female of X. (N.) suspecta also has much larger and denser punctures on the tergites of the metasoma. These two species belong to a well-defined group of large-bodied species of subgenus Neoxylocopa with greenish iridescence on the wings. Another valid species in this group is X. (N.) nasica Pérez, which has greenish-golden wing iridescence and is known from northern Colombia, Panamá, and Costa Rica (Hurd 1978; Mawdsley 2017).

Creators: name: Silva Pimenta, Izadora
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: In 2014, former American baseball player Derek Jeter founded the website The Players' Tribune, on which athletes of all sports can publish autobiographical pieces, to have in their hands a role that, for a long time, belonged to the traditional media – bringing their stories beyond sports performances to the public. These articles, however, can also be seen as a form of self-branding since the athlete holds the power of the story that is being written. Therefore, the objective is to analyse, with the help of Systemic-Functional Linguistics and Transitivity System, one of those articles, written by the Brazilian player Daniel Alves, to understand if the experience report works in favour of production the self as a role model.

Brass’s Brush Mouse
Pogonomelomys brassi
French: Pogonomys de Brass / German: Brass-Mosaikschwanzratte / Spanish: Raton de cepillo de Brass
Other common names: Brass's Pogonomelomys, Gray Pogonomelomys
Taxonomy. Pogonomelomys bruinii brassi Tate & Archbold, 1941,
“Oroville Camp, Upper Fly River, 30 miles above d’Albertis Junction; altitude 60 meters.”
The exact relationships of Pogonomelomys within Hydromyini are uncertain, and further genetic studies are needed. P. brassi was originally described as a subspecies of P. bruynii, but is here recognized as a distinct species. Monotypic.
Distribution. SC New Guinea Descriptive notes. Head—body 173-180 mm, tail 190-197 mm, ear 9 mm, hindfoot 33-34 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. Brass’s Brush Mouse is a large species of Pogonomelomys. Pelage is shorter and stiffer than that of Shaw Mayer’s Brush Mouse (P. mayeri). Dorsal pelage is grayish brown rather than red, being lighter on the sides; ventral pelage is pure white. Feet are very broad and white, with a brown streak dorsally on hindfoot. Ears are fuscous. Tail is long (109%of head—body length), fuscous throughout, with a scaleless and dorsally prehensile tip. Skull is broad and well arched in profile compared with that of Bruijn’s Brush Mouse (P. bruijnii). There are two pairs of mammae, both inguinal.
Habitat. Lowland tropical moist gallery and hill forests, atelevations from sea level to 600 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Brass’s Brush Mouse is probably arboreal, nesting in tree hollows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Brass’s Brush Mouse has a relatively wide distribution and is not known to be facing any major threats, although it is sensitive to human disturbance. Virtually nothing is known of this species, and further research is needed in order fully to understand its natural history and evolution, and to detect any potential threats.
