Etymology.
The specific name “ macrocera ” refers to the long antennae.
Remarks.
The new species is similar to H. extensicornis Frey, but can be separated by the long, strong vibrissae; the interfrontal setae are also very strong and nearly parallel. In H. extensicornis Frey, the vibrissae are small and the interfrontal setae are small and crossed (Frey 1960).

(Figs. 12, 61)
Holotype. Ƥ. French Guinea [Republic of Guinea], Massadou, nr. Macenta, 1600 ft, 13/ 17-5-1926, C. L. Collenette leg., genitalia Arct. g.sl. n. 5847 BMNH. In coll. BMNH (formerly included in the series of Asura submarmorata).
Diagnosis. Similar to Afrasura submarmorata but with the discal dot and marginal dots blackish in colour, whereas in discreta they have the same colour of the bands; fringes buff (Kiriakoff, 1958:4) in submarmorata, yellowish-white in discreta.
Description. Ƥ wingspan 19 mm. Forewing upperside ground colour whitish; pattern light brown. Only one roughly straight basal band discernible; the median and postmedian ones join to form a marbled pattern; one dot at the distal ending of the cell; sub-marginal series of four dots. Hindwing upperside ground colour same as in forewings. Forewing underside with bands less evident, and only two submarginal dots. Hindwing underside as in upperside. Fringes of all wings yellowish-white. Head, thorax, and all appendices yellowishwhite. Antennae ciliated. Labial palpi slender, slightly inclined downwards, not extending beyond the frons. Spurs 0, 2, 4. A7 large membranous, but stiff, with its cephalic margin forming two sterno-pleural pouches. A8 small and membranous. Female dorsal pheromone glands shorter than posterior apophyses. Male unknown. Ƥ antrum large, sub-cylindrical, slightly narrower at its cephalic ending. Ductus bursae membranous, short, forming connection between long antrum and cervix, comprising thick membranous tissue and enclosing two clusters of thorns. Corpus bursae membranous, sub-spherical, about two times the cervix, with small spread thorns inside. Signum small, formed by minute thorns in a rosette. Ductus seminalis arising from corpus bursae in cephalic position, rather than from the cervix as is usually typical in Afrasura.
Etymology. From the Latin verb discerno (distinguish), reflecting the fact that the type has been distinguished from submarmorata.

description: Alternaria yamethinensis M. N. Zin & J. X. Deng sp. nov.
Fig. 3
Etymology.
The epithet designation is attributed to the Yamethin township, which was the location where the holotype was originally collected.
Holotype.
Myanmar, Mandalay Region, Yamethin Township, Segyi Village (30 ° 21 ' 28.188 " N, 112 ° 08 ' 32.136 " E) on infected leaves of Helianthus annuus, August 2023, Khin Nayyi Htut, (YZU – H – 2023154, holotype), ex-type culture (YZU 231739).
Description.
Colonies on PDA are light yellow in the center, white at the edge, with flocculent hyphae, and sulfur yellow to pure yellow in reverse, 38–50 mm in diameter (Fig. 3 a). On PCA, conidiophores arise from the substrate, are simple, straight or flexuous, septate, light to brown, 19–85 (– 95) × 3–6.5 μm. Conidia arise from the apex or near the apex of the conidiophores, rarely from lateral hyphae, and are narrow ovoid or subellipsoid, blunt-pointed, 17–50 (– 65) × 8–14 µm, with 2–7 transverse septa and 2–6 units per chain with a beak 5–15 µm (Fig. 3 c, e, g). On V 8 A, conidiophores are 17–65 (– 85.5) × 2–5.5 μm, and conidia are 32–57 (– 63) × 8–15 µm with 2–7 transverse septa, 2–9 units per chain and a beak 1.5–8 µm (Fig. 3 b, d, f).
Additional isolate examined.
Myanmar, Mandalay Region, Yamethin Township, Segyi Village (30 ° 21 ' 28.188 " N, 112 ° 08 ' 32.136 " E) on infected leaves of Helianthus annuus, August 2023, Khin Nayyi Htut, living culture (YZU 231738).
Notes.
Phylogenetic analysis based on combined gene regions of ITS, GAPDH, RPB 2, TEF 1, Alt a 1, EndoPG, and OPA 10-2, along with morphological characteristics, clearly separates this species from others. It can be differentiated from A. betae-kenyensis (20–28 × 8–10 µm) by conidial size, A. eichhorniae (50–150 × 4–5 µm) and A. iridiaustralis (15–100 (– 133) × 3.5–4.5 µm) by conidial beak, and A. salicicola (12–38 µm) by conidial body width. Moreover, it is significantly distinct from those four species by conidial units per chain (Table 3).

(Figs. 13, 62)
Holotype. Ƥ. Nigeria, Rivers State, Port Harcourt, 1-12-1996, Durante leg. Genitalia prep. n. 432 MAD. In coll. MSNS.
Paratypes. 4 ƤƤ. Same locality as holotype; 7-12-1995, 29-1-1997, 13-2-1997, 19-2-1997. Durante leg. 2 in coll. MAD and 2 in MSNS.
Diagnosis. Similar to indecisa, but female genitalia with strong sclerotizations in the corpus bursae.
Description. Ƥ Wingspan 18–21 mm. Forewing upperside ground colour deep straw yellow; pattern violaceous-grey. One basal dot; two basal bands fragmented; median and postmedian band and submarginal series of dots, a discal dot between median and postmedian band. Hindwing upperside ground colour light straw yellow. Forewing underside with a light pink suffusion in the basal and median areas; a small proximal costal portion is pink. Bands less distinct than on upperside. Hindwing underside as in upperside. Fringes of all wings yellow. Head yellow with violaceous-grey dot on vertex; labial palpi yellow, short, slightly inclined downwards; antennae ciliated, yellow. Patagia yellow, tegulae yellow with two dots. Thorax yellow with two dots on mesoscutum. Legs yellow, with the last (distal) tarsomere and pretarsus deep violaceous-grey; fore- and midlegs with distal portion of tibiae violaceous-grey. Spurs 0, 2, 4. Abdomen yellow. A7 large, not strongly sclerotized; A8 small, interrupted by lamella postvaginalis. Female dorsal pheromone glands a bit longer than posterior apophyses. Male unknown. Female ostium large, without sclerotizations; membranous lamella postvaginalis. Ductus bursae cylindrical with conical sclerotized anterior end. Bursa copulatrix formed by a sub-conical cervix, from which the ductus seminalis arises, and by the corpus from whose posterior ending, laterally, a cone-shaped appendix arises. Distinct sclerotization at the appendix level: a subtriangular one, two irregular ribbon-like ones covered by small and strong thorns. Rest of corpus (anterior) globular and membranous, covered internally by small thorns and a small round dimple-shaped signum.
Etymology. Afrasura dubitabilis was initially thought by the author to be the female of the Nigerian males of Afrasura indecisa, but the evidence overall supports its status as a new species. The specific name reflects the doubt about the original association.

Diaphorocoris dubreuili Montandon, 1908: 300.
Diagnosis. Size alone will distinguish D. dubreuili from its three known congeners. This species (9.36 mm: male) is the largest of the described species of Diaphorocoris. The ventral surface is generally a medium brown color. The lateral margin of the embolium has a row of short, brown, peg-like spines, and the brown coloration anterior to the distal mesal incursion of the yellowish-white marginal coloration extends close to the lateral margin (Fig. 12), similar to the embolar condition of D. arunachalami. The metaxyphus is longer than wide.
Discussion. Montandon (1908) reported that the type specimen would remain in his collection and named this species after the collector, J. Dubreuil. The type locality is Trichonopoly in Tamil Nadu state. No information concerning its biology or ecology has been published. We have observed specimens on the vertical rock faces of small waterfalls and seeps in Kerala and Tamil Nadu states.

Orinomus [preoccupied] Chamberlin 1916: 206. Type species by original designation and monotypy O. lamprus Chamberlin, 1916, op. cit.
Orinomana Strand 1934: 273. New name for Orinomus Chamberlin 1916, preoccupied. Opell 1979: 498.
Note. The type species, Orinomus lamprus was synonymized by Opell (1979) with Uloborus bituberculatus Keyserling, 1882.
Diagnosis. Orinomana species share with those of Waitkera Opell, 1979, Sybota, Miagrammopes and Hyptiotes, the PLE on prominent tubercles; differ from Miagrammopes in having anterior eyes, from Hyptiotes in lacking the anterior cephalic narrowness (Opell 1979, fig. 55), and from the remaining two genera by having a peaked, humped abdomen (Figs. 2 B; Opell 1979, fig. 122; Grismado 2000, figs. 2, 7) rather than oval or projecting (Opell 1979, figs. 24, 102, 110, 116; Grismado 2001, fig. 3). Orinomana females have entelegyne genitalia, while Waitkera is haplogyne, and Sybota is intermediate between the two conditions (Grismado 2001). Males are easily recognized by the complex, branched embolus (Figs. 1, 3, 7).
Description. For female see Opell (1979). Male: carapace oval,>1.1 times longer than wide, ocular area not elevated from carapace. Both eye rows recurved, MOQ near 1.6 times longer than wide, ocular area occupying almost 80% of cephalic width. Eyes subequal, except the ALE, the smallest; PME separated by about three times their diameter; clypeus height>1.6 times the AME eyes diameter. Legs: femora I around 1.5 times the carapace length; macrosetae of legs I: femora: 2 prolateral, 4 ventral prolateral; tibiae: 2 retrolateral, 2 prolateral, 3–4 dorsal prolateral, 2 dorsal; metatarsi: 3 prolateral, 3–4 retrolateral. Abdomen with two conspicuous anterodorsal humps. For coloration, see species descriptions.
Palp: tibiae unmodified, cymbium distally notched. Bulb: subtegulum discoidal, tegulum as an apparently incomplete ring, leaving a ventral area less sclerotized; its retrolateral side with a differently wrinkled texture. On the prolateral side articulates the small median apophysis, conductor distally articulated, larger than the MA. Embolus highly modified, with 3–4 branches to different directions. For specific details, see under species descriptions.
Composition and distribution. Seven known species from western South America, mostly in Andean regions (Fig. 9): O. florezi n. sp. from Colombia, O. penelope n. sp. from Ecuador, O. bituberculata (Keyserling 1881) from Peru and Ecuador, O. viracocha n. sp. from Peru, O. mana Opell 1979 from northern Chile, and O. galianoae Grismado 2000, and O. ascha Grismado 2000 from northwestern Argentina.

description: Orinomana viracocha new species
(Figs. 2 E–F, 6D–F)
Types. Female holotype and three females paratypes from Peru, Río Lurín, near Lima, 50 m, leg. Weyrauch (Exline - Peck collection donated to CAS), deposited in CAS.
Etymology. Noun in apposition. Named after Viracocha, the god of creation for the Incas.
Diagnosis. Females of O. viracocha are distinguished by other congeneric species by the shape of the epigynum: two short lobes united at middle by a membranose lamina that point backwards (Fig. 6 D). It is also clearly separate by the broad area connecting the anterior and posterior spermathecae (Fig. 6 F).
Description. Female (holotype): Total length 2.80, carapace length 1.02, sternum length 0.74, abdomen height 1.94. Leg I: femur length 1.40, tibia length 0.92, metatarsus length 1.04, tarsus length 0.44. Carapace light brown with a medial dorsal yellowish stripe between median eyes and posterior prosoma’s margin, along two broad, diffuse, lighter paraxial bands; two irregular dark spots posterior to the fovea, diverging to the front. Eyes on whitish yellow areas; thin radial dark lines at sides (Fig. 2 E). Chelicerae, labium and endites distally yellowish, proximally light brown. Sternum light brown with slightly darker margins. Legs yellowish with irregular brown bands, this dark pigment is more extensive in prolateral surfaces of femora-patellae-tibiae I. Abdomen very high, yellowish, with a cardiac brown band; two tenuous transversal dark bands posterior to the humps, humps quite separate; small and sparse spots on sides, slightly more visible on caudal areas. Ventrally uniform yellowish.
Genitalia: Epigynum with two lateral lobes and a median translucent lamina pointing backwards (Fig. 6 D); two pairs of spermathecae, lacking constriction between anterior and posterior ones, that are broadly connected; copulatory ducts lead to the anterior spermathecae (Fig. 6 F).
Variability: Two female specimens show abdomen not so high, generally darker coloration, with more conspicuous pattern in legs, sternum dark brown with light spots, darker dorsum and sides marbled nevertheless, the carapace design is identical to those of the holotype.
Material examined. Only the type series.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality, in Lima, Peru.

Diaphorocoris notatus Montandon, 1897a: 61.
Diaphorocoris punctatissimus Montandon, 1897b: 445.
Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from D. dubreuili by size: D. punctatissimus is 7–8 mm in length, whereas D. dubreuili is over 9 mm. It can be distinguished from D. kiliyur most easily by the medium brown to reddish brown ventral coloration, whereas the latter species is dark brown to black. It can be distinguished from both D. kiliyur and D. arunachalami by the pronotum’s being broadly sunken below the level of the rounded ridge of the anterior margin, whereas the other species have some flattening or concavity, but are not sunken below the level of the anterior margin; the dark coloration of the embolium immediately anterior to the distal mesal incursion of the yellowish-white marginal coloration extends only halfway from the embolar suture to the lateral margin; and the marginal vestiture of the embolium is a row of short, brown pegs (Fig. 14).
Discussion. This species is known only from Sri Lanka, whereas the other three species of Diaphorocoris have been recorded only from India. Although more collecting is needed, this species appears to be geographically distinct from its congeners. Kirby's (1891) report that D. punctissimus was collected on wet rocks near running water was previously the only notation in the literature concerning biology or ecology for any species in the genus.
Material examined. SRI LANKA: Bad. Dist., Koslanda, Diyaluma Falls, 19 March 1973, 3,000 ft, Baumann & Cross (1 male). " Ceylon Kirkaldy" (1 male). Punduloya, III.[18]97, leg. E.E. Green (2 males). Simharaja Forest, II.1993, leg. Ehrmann (2 females).

Asura hyporhoda Hampson, 1900, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. II: 453.
Type locality. Sierra Leone (holotype 3 in BMNH, abdomen not dissected).
Distribution. Sierra Leone. Kenya.
Material examined. Sierra Leone: holotype 3 in BMNH. Cameroun: ƤƤ Arct. g.sl. 5754 BMNH, Arct. g.sl. 5886 BMNH. Uganda: 3 Arct. g.sl. n. 5736 BMNH, Ƥ Arct. g.sl. 5856 BMNH. Kenya: 3 Arct. g.sl. n. 5885 BMNH. Herein, specimens 5736, 5856 and 5886 are classified as hieroglyphica; 5754 is classified as obliterata.
Diagnosis. The forewing of this species has large bands, with the two basal bands fused together. Because of the variability of the bands, it is not possible to fully differentiate hyporhoda from hieroglyphica. The coremata are, however, large and double-sac shaped in hieroglyphica, unpaired and not deep in hyporhoda. The distal end of ala valvae is C-shaped in hieroglyphica, but long and pointed in hyporhoda.
Description. The coremata (Fig. 51 C) are on the cephalic margin of A8 sternum, unpaired, not deep and large (about half length of VIII sternum). Genitalia with long and slender uncus, bent caudally, ending in a point; tegumen slender; vinculum with saccus of medium length. Anellus completely sclerotized: ventrally by a hemispheric juxta, laterally by large sclerotizations (as large as long; valvellae), dorsally by a thin fingerlike sclerotization, that protrudes on the manica penis. Plicae centripetalis of basis valvae joined to form transtilla, reinforcing dorsal region of the anellus. Valvar costa with characteristic undulation; distal process of supravalva ventrally membranous and with roundish ending, dorsally slightly sclerotized and pointed; distal process of ala valvae longer, well sclerotized, slender, slightly bent inwards with a pointed end. Aedeagus tubular; coecum with a median concavity; vesica with three clusters of minute thorns, of which two clusters are expanded and the third compact; cornutus strong.

(Figs. 5 E–F, 6G–I)
Types. Female holotype from Colombia, Departamento del Valle de Cauca, Parque Nacional Las Hermosas, Laguna Santa Teresa, 3° 31’N, 75° 59’W, 3500 m, IX 1994, col. E. Flórez. Deposited in ICN-AR (# 1254), prep. CJG-00167.
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Eduardo Flórez (ICN), collector of the type series.
Diagnosis. Females of O. florezi are recognized by the triangular epigynal plate with a small incision on the posterior median border (Fig. 6 G). The spermathecae are very similar to those of O. bituberculata, but the copulatory ducts are shorter, and arise from the posterior spermathecae instead from the constriction area (Fig. 6 I; Opell 1979, fig. 125).
Description. Female (holotype): Total length 3.84, carapace length 1.44, sternum length 0.94, abdomen height 2.68. Leg I: femur length 1.68, tibia length 1.12, metatarsus length 1.34, tarsus length 0.58. Carapace brown with a medial dorsal yellowish stripe from the ocular area to back and two irregular dark spots in front to the fovea. Eyes on dark rings, the lateral ones on yellowish areas. Chelicerae, labium and endites distally whitish, proximally light brown. Sternum pale orange-brown with two anterior, oblique darker spots. Legs yellowish with irregular, diffused brown bands, this dark pigment is more extensive in prolateral surfaces of femora-patellae-tibiae I. Abdomen very high, whitish grey, with a cardiac dark band between the pedicel and the dorsal humps; posterior to the humps, diffuse dark transversal marks, slightly more evident on caudal area. Ventrally uniform yellowish.
Genitalia: Epigynal plate nearly triangular, with the posterior margin medially incised (Fig. 6 G); fertilization ducts arise from the junction area of the anterior and posterior spermathecae, meanwhile the copulatory ducts open in the posterior pair (Fig. 6 I).
Variability: The other adult female specimen show a lighter cardiac band, the abdominal pattern more marbled at sides, and the bands on legs are more dark and conspicuous, specially, the brown bands in distal metatarsi.
Material examined. One immature (same data as the holotype) and one female and four immatures –two of these are subadult males- (same data, ICN-AR 1239).
Distribution. Only known from the type locality, in Valle de Cauca, Colombia.

Supersolid Dark Matter and the Displacement Theory of Gravity: Curved Spacetime as a Physical Manifestation of Dark Matter Dynamics
Creators: name: Cavedon, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: In this work, we propose that dark matter is a supersolid Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) that fills the vacuum of space. This supersolid dark matter (SSDM) is displaced by massive objects, and its displacement field corresponds to what we perceive as curved spacetime. Unlike conventional general relativity, where gravity is purely a geometric phenomenon, this model provides a physical medium whose state determines gravitational interactions.A key observational test of this model is the Bullet Cluster, where the separation between ordinary matter and the inferred dark matter distribution suggests a medium-like behavior. We argue that this phenomenon can be understood in terms of SSDM displacement, analogous to the bow waves of colliding boats, where the clusters slow down due to resistance while the displaced medium continues propagating. To formalize this framework, we derive the governing equations for SSDM dynamics and explore their implications for gravitational phenomena.

Xanthetis ichorina Butler; Hampson, 1900, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. II: 415.
Type locality. Natal (holotype Ƥ in BMNH, lacking head and abdomen, as noted by Hampson (1900: 415).
Material examined. Natal: holotype Ƥ in BMNH. Natal, Durban, 18-5-1907: 3 Arct. g.sl. n. 5742 BMNH. Natal, Durban, Umhlanga, 13/ 20-8-1949: Ƥ Arct. g.sl. n. 5757 BMNH.
Diagnosis. Forewing bands large and discernible, unlike hieroglyphica and hyporhoda.
Description. Coremata between A7 and A8 sterna, large, double-sac shaped with two eversible tufts of androconial hairs; the caudal margin of sternum VII presents a double fold of which the inner most deepens cephalad. Sternally the coremata are thickened by a double U-shaped rod-like sclerotization, that seems to take origin from the anterior margin of sternum VIII. From the two ends of this sclerotization, at the border with the left and right pleurae, two thin sclerotized arms arise caudally. They meet forming an arch and merging in a heart-shaped sclerotization of sternum VIII. Tergum VIII presents an H-shaped sclerotization, with two arms in the cephalic direction formed by two small but strong apodemes. Male genitalia typical, with ala valvae becoming thin distally, ending in a well sclerotized strong horn that is slightly bent inward. Supravalva becoming large at the same point where the ala valvae is thin, sub-elliptical, lightly sclerotized. Supravalvar costa with characteristic undulation at midpoint. Aedeagus with a cluster of minute sub-conical thorns at distal end. Vesica with strong cornutus and cluster of small thorns. In the female, sternum VII is frustum of cone-shaped and slightly sclerotized; sternum VIII weak and membranous. Bursa copulatrix presents two large signa with long spines; ductus bursae entirely sclerotized, with thorns.
Remarks. This species, described by Butler in the genus Sesapa Walker, 1854, was subsequently included by Hampson (1900) in the genus Xanthetis Hampson, 1900 with a diagnosis based fundamentally on the wings veins (the forewings have eleven veins, missing vein 9 [Rs2] and lacking the anastomosis between Sc and R, the latter free as Rs1). This venation is confirmed for the examined female, but only partially for the examined male, which has R free but presenting Rs2 (vein 9 of Hampson) and hence 12 veins. Durante (2004) noted that venation is not considered a fundamental character in generic assignments into Lithosiinae.

C o m m e n t: Unlike G. manca, G. cingulata is rather widespread and not uncommon in Georgia and Azerbaijan (Map 3).
Based on the presence of a small tubercle on the male tergite VII, the species was previously attributed to the subgenus Chondridiosipalia SCHEERPELTZ, 1951. Other characters, however, suggest that it is more closely allied to geographically close species of the subgenus Sipalotricha, suggesting that the presence of a tubercle on the male tergite VII is an autapomorphy rather than a synapomorphy shared with Geostiba leonhardi (BERNHAUER, 1908) from Italy, the type species of Chondridiosipalia. This conclusion is also supported by the observation that there is no other species of Chondridiosipalia in the West Palaearctic east of Italy.
