Majialandrevus

description: genus Majialandrevus He gen. nov.
Type species: Majialandrevus dingguo He sp. nov.
Include species: type only.
Diagnosis. The new genus differs from other genera by a combination of the following characters: short forewings, but slightly longer than pronotum (Fig. 2A); with only outer tympanum (Fig. 2D); blunt distal parts of the male genitalia, absent of medial lobes of epiphallus, ectoparamere membranous; abdomen pubescent with cercus long. The ratio of the forewing lengths to the pronotal lengths is 1.19–1.22, which is most similar to 1.29 of Apiotarsoides Chopard, 1931. However, its structures of the male genitalia differ from Apiotarsoides, and other similar genera, such as Duolandrevus Kirby, 1906, Vasilia Grochov, 1988, Ectodrelanva Grochov, 2000 from adjacent areas in lacking ramus.
Etymology. The genus name majia- is for the Chinese phonetic alphabet Ḽm, which means a style of Chinese clothing like a waistcoat. It is used to emphasize its short forewing.

Type species.
Fimbriaria elegans A. Juss. [= Schwannia mediterranea (Vell.) R. F. Almeida & M. Pell.].
Notes.
Despite being the oldest available name for this genus, Fimbriaria A. Juss. is illegitimate for being a later homonym to Fimbriaria Stackh. (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta). This is unaffected by the posterior rejection of Fimbriaria Stackh. against Odonthalia Lyngbye. Furthermore, even if this rejection made “ Fimbriaria ” available as a generic name, Fimbriaria Nees ex Steud. (Aytoniaceae, Marchantiophyta) still has priority over the Malpighiaceae name. Therefore, Schwannia is the earliest available name for this genus.
Schwannia comprises 14 currently accepted species (seven threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of shrubs or lianas endemic to rainforests, savannas, and seasonally dry tropical forests of Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay, South America (POWO 2024). For an identification key for all species of Schwannia, see Sebastiani (2010) and Sebastiani and Mamede (2014), both under Janusia.

description: Abstract.While blood group A phenotype development is associated with impaired formation
of adaptive and innate immunoglobulins due to clonal selection and phenotypic,
glycosidic accommodation of plasma proteins, it is significantly burdened with
an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, while exerting strong
susceptibility to severe malaria infection. Both the risk of developing cancer
and the susceptibility to malaria appear molecularly to be strongly related to phenotype
formation, in which the blood group A-determining glycotransferases affect the
levels of anti-A/Tn cross-reactive immunoglobulins on the one side, and provide
contact and entry of the protozoan into the host on the other side. This
contact, provided predominantly by cells of blood group A, appears to be promoted
also by cancer cells suggesting "A-like" Tn formation, which is
inhibited by Plasmodium invasion, why
blood group A is extremely rare in regions, in which malaria is endemic but malaria
infection inversely associated with cancerous growth. Consequently, the blood
group O phenotype, currently discussed to have a survival advantage of the
overall risk to developing cancer when compared with non-O blood groups, rarely
develops severe malaria and represents the worldwide most common blood type,
which may signify a general survival advantage due to a complex superior
immunity.

description: This study aimed to ensure the quality of the seed as well as determine the phytochemical composition of Nigella sativa seed extract (NSSE) obtained from three different geographical locations. Pharmacognostic evaluation of the seed includes preliminary phytochemical screening, physicochemical evaluation, and study of heavy metal content, in addition to HPTLC, HPLC, and GC-MS studies of the extract obtained from the seed of the Nigella sativa (NS). HPTLC fingerprinting studies revealed the presence of various bioactive compounds. HPLC analysis confirms the quantitative variation of thymoquinone (TQ) in the extracts, i.e. the maximum quantity of TQ was found in Vizag NSSE, followed by Punjab and Madhya Pradesh. GC-MS analysis reveals the presence of 33, 35, and 32 constituents in the extract obtained from Vizag, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab, respectively. This study confirms the variation in the phytochemical composition as well as in the biomarker (Thymoquinone) content present in the collected samples.
Supplemental material for Semantic Effects on the Perception of Emotional Prosody in Native and Non-native Chinese Speakers.docx

description: While previous research has found an in-group advantage (IGA) favoring native speakers in emotional prosody perception over non-native speakers, the effects of semantics on emotional prosody perception remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of semantics on emotional prosody perception in Chinese words and sentences for native and non-native Chinese speakers. The critical manipulation was the congruence of prosodic (positive, negative) and semantic (positive, negative, and neutral) valence. Participants listened to a series of audio clips and judged whether the emotional prosody was positive or negative for each utterance. The results revealed an IGA effect: native speakers perceived emotional prosody more accurately and quickly than non-native speakers in Chinese words and sentences. Furthermore, a semantic congruence effect was observed in Chinese words, where both native and non-native speakers recognized emotional prosody more accurately in the semantic-prosody congruent condition than in the incongruent condition. However, in Chinese sentences, this congruence effect was only present for non-native speakers. Additionally, the IGA effect and semantic congruence effect on emotional prosody perception were influenced by prosody valence. These findings illuminate the role of semantics in emotional prosody perception, highlighting perceptual differences between native and non-native Chinese speakers.

Cricetomyinae Roberts 1951, Mammals of South Africa: 434.
Synonyms: Cricetomyidae Chaline, Mein, and F. Petter 1977; Saccostomurinae Roberts 1951.
Genera: 3 genera with 8 species:
Genus Beamys Thomas 1909 (2 species)
Genus Cricetomys Waterhouse 1840 (4 species)
Genus Saccostomus Peters 1846 (2 species)
Discussion: Although initially classified within Murinae (e.g., Ellerman, 1941; Simpson, 1945; Thomas, 1896), systematists have acknowledged a closer affinity of African pouched rats to one another than to other murines, a distinction later formalized by Roberts’ (1951) diagnosis of Cricetomyinae. Most subsequent systematic arrangements have followed F. Petter (1966 a) in allying cricetomyines with cricetids (Reig, 1980, 1981; Rosevear, 1969) based on his interpretation of molar cusp homologies. Lavocat (1973, 1978) first suggested phylogenetic association with other archaic African groups in a broadly defined Nesomyidae, an interpretation generally endorsed by Carleton and Musser (1984). Configuration of molar cusps (F. Petter, 1966 a), anatomy of internal cheek pouches (Ryan, 1989 b), and mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data (Jansa et al., 1999; Michaux et al., 2001 b; Michaux and Catzeflis, 2000) support the monophyly of the subfamily, which forms an unresolved polytomy with species of Dendromurinae and Mystromys according to phyletic evaluation of nuclear protein-coding genes (Michaux et al., 2001 b; Michaux and Catzeflis, 2000).
General and diagnostic morphological traits, taxonomic history, and phylogenetic interpretations summarized by Carleton and Musser (1984). Certain early to middle Miocene taxa of East Africa (e.g., Leakeymys and Notocricetodon) have been speculatively linked to the autochthonous African origin of Cricetomyinae, but their phyletic association so far lacks persuasive demonstration (see Chaline et al., 1977; Tong and Jaeger, 1993). Indisputable fossil representatives extend from the early Pliocene to the Recent of eastern and southern Africa (McKenna and Bell, 1997). Roberts (1951) taxonomically segregated Saccostomus (Saccostomurinae) from other African pouched rats (Cricetomyinae), a division not recognized by later systematists (F. Petter, 1966 a; Ryan, 1989 b). Many morphological traits, however, depict Beamys and Cricetomys as sister species apart from Saccostomus, as enumerated by Carleton and Musser (1984), and we employ those family-group taxa as tribes. The closer affinity of Beamys and Cricetomys is also reflected in gene-sequence analyses (Corti et al., 2004).

Species and subspecies: 2 species:
Species Beamys hindei Thomas 1909

Discussion: Cricetomyini, new rank. Two species have been generally recognized as originally described (e.g., G. M. Allen, 1939; Ellerman, 1941; Ellerman et al., 1953; Hanney, 1965; Misonne, 1974), until Hubbard (1970), without presentation of data, suggested their synonymy, a classification adopted by some (e.g., Ansell, 1978; Ansell and Ansell, 1973; Corbet and Hill, 1991; Honacki et al., 1982) but not others (Musser and Carleton, 1993). Ansell and Ansell (1973), while following Hubbard’s opinion, did present limited measurements that demonstrate the uniformly larger size of major compared with hindei. The number of species, their morphological discrimination, and vouchered distribution deserve the attention of a full generic revision. Emphasis should be given to those Beamys populations that occur in the Eastern Arc Mtns, whether more closely related to major proper from uplands in NE Zambia and Malawi or to hindei from lower dry coastal forest in SE Kenya and E Tanzania.

Cricetomys Waterhouse 1840, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1840: 2.
Type Species: Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse 1840
Species and subspecies: 4 species:
Species Cricetomys ansorgei Thomas 1904
Species Cricetomys emini Wroughton 1910
Species Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse 1840
Species Cricetomys kivuensis Lönnberg 1917
Discussion: Cricetomyini. Six nominal species were recognized (e.g., Allen, 1939) before Ellerman (1941) summarily reduced all to subspecies of C. gambianus. Genest-Villard’s (1967) revision provided evidence of two kinds, a predominantly savanna-dwelling species (C. gambianus) and a lowland forest form (C. emini), an arrangement broadly compatible with Hinton’s (1919b) perception of harsh-furred and sleek-furred groups. Her character states and univariate ratios for discriminating two species are generally workable in West Africa but break down in eastern and southern Africa; based on series in MCZ and USNM, four kinds of Cricetomys can be morphologically sorted. For studies of the gastrointestinal tract interpreted in the context of taxonomic comparisons, trophic niche, and digestive function see Knight and Knight-Eloff (1987) and Perrin and Curtis (1980).

Distribution: Kenya and E and S Uganda, southwards exclusive of Congo forest block, to W and S Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998:Map 21), S Zambia, E Zimbabwe, and NE South Africa (Limpopo Province and NE KwaZulu-Natal); including Zanzibar.
Discussion: Cranial proportions simililar to C. gambianus but size larger and skull robustly constructed (LM1-3 typically 11-12 mm versus 10-11 mm), dominant tones of dorsal pelage brown compared with grayish of C. gambianus; as equally differentiated in multivariate space from C. gambianus as from C. emini. Other morphological and ecological contrasts to C. gambianus enumerated (as C. g. ansorgei) by Genest-Villard (1967). Even as arranged, ansorgei is likely a species complex. Populations that occur on mountains in East Africa (elgonis, enguvi, kenyensis, microtis), each retained as well differentiated but localized subspecies of C. gambianus by Genest-Villard (1967), invite detailed investigation; certain populations may plausibly link with C. kivuensis from Western Rift Mtns. Also, cosensi, described as a species from Zanzibar, was considered by Hinton (1919 b) to be related to the emini complex.

Type Locality: Dem. Rep. Congo, Gadda, Monbuttu.
Vernacular Names: Forest Giant Pouched Rat.
Synonyms: Cricetomys dissimilis Rochebrune 1885; Cricetomys dolichops Osgood 1910; Cricetomys liberiae Osgood 1910; Cricetomys luteus Dollman 1911; Cricetomys poensis Osgood 1910; Cricetomys proparator Wroughton 1910; Cricetomys sanctus Hinton 1919; Cricetomys tephrus (Rochebrune 1885).
Distribution: Lowland, closed-canopied forest—in West Africa, from W Gambia (Grubb et al., 1998), S Guinea (Barnett et al., 1996), and Sierra Leone to S Nigeria; in Central Africa, from S Cameroon to SW Uganda, through Gabon, Republic of Congo, and much of Dem. Rep. Congo, to Cabinda, Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: As noted by Genest-Villard (1967), pelage color and cranial morphology are fairly conservative across the range of C. emini proper. Genest-Villard declared that Rochebrune’s dissimilis is a nomen dubium in defending Wroughton’s emini as the oldest available name for populations in the Guinea and Congo forest blocks. In his description of C. ansorgei, however, Thomas’ (1904 c:413) remarks intimate that he may have seen type or topotypic specimens: "The two forms of the group [dissimilis and tephrus], no doubt synonymous with each other, from Landana described by Rochebrune are both far smaller and have their bellies ‘albocinereis.’" G. M. Allen (1939) followed Thomas in treating tephrus as full synonym of dissimilis, the latter as a subspecies of C. gambianus (as erroneously repeated by Musser and Carleton, 1993); Genest-Villard and Crawford-Cabral (1998) did not mention tephrus. Further museum sleuthing may disclose whether type material exists and settle the nomenclatural status of Rochebrune’s taxa with regard to both emini and ansorgei.

Type Locality: Dem. Rep. Congo, Masisi.
Vernacular Names: Kivu Giant Pouched Rat.
Distribution: Mountains of easternmost Dem. Rep. Congo (Kivu), S Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi; limits unknown.
Discussion: Although Genest-Villard (1967) retained kivuensis as a subspecies of C. emini, she considered its differentiation as marginal. Compared with C. emini, examples of kivuensis are larger, their skulls fully as robust as the biggest C. ansorgei; dorsal color is fuscous gray (not the bright browns of emini) and the underparts are dull grayish-white, weakly demarcated from the dorsum (pure white and cleanly delineated in emini); and fur is long, its texture soft and luxurient (close-cropped and slightly hispid in emini). The union of such disparate morphologies under one species deserves unambiguous demonstration.

Discussion: Saccostomurini, new rank. Ellerman (1941) thought that all nominal forms would prove to be races of the single species S. campestris, a speculation widely and uncritically observed in later classifications and faunal reports (e.g., Delany, 1975; Ellerman et al., 1953; Kingdon, 1974 b; Misonne, 1974). Hubert (1978 a), however, marshalled karyotypic and morphological evidence that differentiates an eastern African species (S. mearnsi) from a southern African one (S. campestris), as earlier intimated by G. M. Allen and Lawrence (1936) and later reinforced by Denys (1988) in her morphological study of Tanzanian populations. Relationship of the two living species to the middle Pliocene S. major evaluated by Denys (1987 a, 1988), who placed their divergence some time after 3.7 million years ago. Geological range from middle Pliocene through the Pleistocene of Tanzania (Denys, 1988) and Plio-Pleistocene of Namibia (Senut et al., 1992).

Distribution: Arid to mesic southern savannahs and grasslands: from SW Tanzania across to W Angola (see Crawford-Cabral, 1998: Map 20); south through most of Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia; to S Mozambique and S South Africa (Western and Eastern Cape provinces).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: A composite of two or more species as suggested by extraordinary chromosomal, morphological, and genetic variation (Corti et al., 2004; Denys, 1988; Gordon, 1986; Gordon and Rautenbach, 1980); the status of anderssoni and mashonae especially deserves attention in regard to campestris proper. Ellison (1993) demonstrated and discussed geographic variability in torpor response in the context of the species distribution and its karyotypic variants; Ellison et al. (1993) examined correlations between body size and climatic variables in southern Africa.
