description: Localized electronic spins in solid-state environments form versatile and robust platforms for quantum sensing, metrology and quantum information processing. With optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), it is possible to prepare and readout highly coherent spin systems, up to room temperature, with orders of magnitude enhanced sensitivities and spatial resolutions compared to induction-based techniques, allowing for single spin manipulations. While ODMR was first observed in organic molecules, many other systems have since then been identified. Among them is the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, which is used both as a nanoscale quantum sensor for external fields and as a spin qubit. Other systems permitting ODMR are rare earth ions used as quantum memories and many other color centers trapped in bulk or 2-dimensional host materials. In order to allow the broadest possible community of researchers and engineers to investigate and develop novel ODMR-based materials and applications, we review here the setting up of ODMR experiments using commercially available hardware. We also present in detail the dedicated collaborative open-source interface named Qudi and describe the features we added to speed-up data acquisition, relax instrument requirements and extend its applicability to ensemble measurements. Covering both hardware and software development, this article aims to steepen the learning curve of newcomers in ODMR from a variety of scientific backgrounds, optimize the experimental development time, preempt the common measurement pitfalls, and provide an efficient, portable and collaborative interface to implement innovative experiments.

The only difference between Galissus cyanopterus Dupont and Panchylissus cyaneipennis Waterhouse, both typespecies, is the density of hairs in the metatibiae, which are densely piloses in G. cyanopterus and with sparse hairs in G. a z u re u s Monné & Martins, 1981, P. cyaneipennis and P. nigriventris Lane, 1965. The density of the pilosity is an insufficient character to consider Galissus as a different genus of Panchylissus and we herein propose the synonymy of Panchylissus with Galissus.

Mecynostomella

description: Mecynostomella Kimmins, 1953
Type species: Mecynostomella fusca Kimmins, 1953, original designation.
Etymology: Mecyno is from the Greek mekyno, meaning lengthen. Stomella is from the Greek stoma, meaning mouth, with the suffix ­ la, meaning very. The name refers to the long rostrum of the head.
Diagnosis. Ocelli absent. Antennae stout, covered by short, blackish setae. Scapus about 1.5 x longer than wide, between 2/3x and 3/4x eye diameter, pedicel nearly half as long as scapus. Mouthparts strongly prolonged into slender rostrum. Maxillary palp 3­segmented, segments cylindrical, arising approximately 2/3 from base of rostrum, segment 2 longer than segment 1, segment 3 about 2x longer than segment 2. Frons domed. Labial palp 3­segmented, slightly longer than maxillary palp. Forewing termen convex, R1 fuses distally completely with Sc before diverging into wing margin, Dc short, Tc about 1.5x longer than Dc, fork 1 absent in male, present in female, fork 2 with basal nygma and about 1.5x longer than Dc, fork 3 about as long as Dc and fork 5. Hind wing Dc absent, R1 fused distally toward wing margin, fork 1 about as long as fork 3 and shorter than fork 2, M fused with R until R4+5, M3+4 absent, fork 5 about as long as fork 2, Cu2 forked, A multiply divided. Spurs 2,4,4.
The genus is distinguished from other Kokiriidae genera by the antennae being slightly longer than the forewing, the head setal wart tubercles dispersed dissolved into single tubercles, and pronotum without median setal warts.
It is separated from Kokiria by the longer Dc and the convex distal margin of the forewing, and from Taskiropsyche by the presence of 2 foreleg spurs and a cylindrical third maxillary palp segment. The maxillary palps of Mecynostomella originate more distally than those of Taskiria and are longer than those of Tanjistomella. In the forewing of both Taskiria and Tanjistomella, R1 connects to Sc by a crossvein while they are fused in Mecynostomella. The forewing Tc in Tanjistomella is shorter than the Dc, but longer in Mecynostomella. The forewing M in Tanjistomella separates from R5 and not R4+5 as in Mecynostomella. Mecynostomella can be separated from Panguilla by the shape of the Segment X, which in Pangullia is broad and has ventrally oriented lateral lobes.

description: In this paper, we consider blowup of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the following biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), $$ \textnormal{i} \, \partial_t u=Δ^2 u-μΔu-|u|^{2 σ} u \quad \text{in} \,\, \R \times \R^d, $$ where $d \geq 1$, $μ\in \R$ and $0<σ<\infty$ if $1 \leq d \leq 4$ and $0<σ<4/(d-4)$ if $d \geq 5$. In the mass critical and supercritical cases, we establish the existence of blowup solutions to the problem for cylindrically symmetric data. The result extends the known ones with respect to blowup of solutions to the problem for radially symmetric data.

Agrisius leloii

description: The A. leloii species-group
Agrisius leloii sp. nov. (Figs 9, 10) is very close to the A. japonicus species-group (Figs 1–8) by its external appearance, the long basal plate of the uncus with medial dorsal crest, the hood-like juxta, the absence of coremata on the apex of the valve (only longer hairs presented), the presence of only one, short saccular process, and the absence of cornuti and spinules in the aedeagus vesica, but the long distal branches of its uncus (Figs 26, 27) are very different from those of the A. japonicus species-group (Figs 21–25) and resemble those of the A. guttivitta species-group (Figs 28–32). However, in the A. guttivitta species-group those branches are not curved dorsoventrally and are pointed apically, whereas in A. leloii sp. nov. the distal branches of the uncus have the short and trigonal apical-dorsal processes similar to those of the A. japonicus species-group, but differ from the latter by the claw-like apexes, which are curved downwards (in the A. japonicus species-group they are curved upwards). The female genitalia of A. leloii sp. nov. (Fig. 36) differ from those of the A. japonicus species-group (Figs 33, 34) by the presence of a heavily sclerotized antevaginal plate, and from the A. guttivitta species-group (Figs 37–41) by the absence of heavily sclerotized antrum. Taking into account all listed genitalic characters, we treat A. leloii sp. nov. as a member of the separate species-group, which is morphologically intermediate between the A. japonicus and the A. guttivitta species-groups.

Material studied: Réunion, Route de Maido, 1700–1800m, 3.– 10.1.1992, J. Janák lgt. (3♂♂, cJan); same labels but 7.– 12.1.1992, 1600–1700m (1♂, cJan); Réunion, Forêt de Bébour, Plaine des Marsouins, 1200–1400m, 23.– 27.12.1991, J. Janák lgt. (1♂, cJan).
Remarks. This is a species endemic to Reunion, with strongly reduced wings. It is very similar to P. gomyi and P. janaki sp. n. but differs from both by having a narrower head, posterior angles more rounded, and antennae and legs paler. The posterior margin of male sternite VII (Fig. 8) is more concave in the middle, evenly pubescent, lacking short, dark modified setae. The posterior margin of male sternite VIII (Fig. 19) is deeply excised as in P. gomyi and P. janaki sp. n., but the excision is shorter and wider. In ventral view, the ventral process of the aedeagus (Figs 5–7) is apically much wider in ventral view and the apex is formed by two short asymmetrical semimembranous processes. The ear-like lateral processes of the dorsal plate of the aedeagus do not extend beyond the overall lateral profile of the aedeagus when viewed ventrally or dorsally.
Distribution. Réunion.

Elminius Leach, 1825: 210. — Darwin, 1854: 345. — Ross, 1970: 9. — Newman and Ross, 1976: 52 Elminius (Elminius) Buckeridge, 1983a: 353.
Diagnosis: Four-plated elminiine lacking distinct external ribbing; parietes smooth internally (“inflected inner basal margin” absent), but with fine striae at basal edge; scutum lacking adductor ridge, articular ridge prominent, tergum with spur removed from basi-rostral angle; scutum and tergum often fused together by internal secondary calcification.
Distribution and age: Littoral, low energy environments. Recent: Southern South America. Type: Elminius kingii Gray, 1831: 13 (subsequent designation: Pilsbry 1916: 260). Recent: Chile below 30°S, Cape Horn to Punta Arenas, Argentina, Falkland Islands. Elminius kingii is remarkably tolerant of high levels of fresh water, occurring with essentially freshwater amphipods (Hyallela) at the mouth of the Rio Salton in southern Chile (Davenport et al., 1995).
Remarks: Elminius is now a monotypic genus. Further important characters of E. kingii are the broad, smooth edged radii and the large orifice.

Remarks. This is an endemic species to Réunion, with strongly reduced wings. It is very similar to P. janaki sp. n. and differs from late only in male terminalia. In contrast to P. janaki sp. n., male sternite VII (Fig. 12) is with less numerous short dark modified setae along the posterior margin. Male sternite VIII (Fig. 18) is similar to that of P. janaki sp. n. The ventral process of aedeagus (Figs 9–11) is broader in its basal part, as wide as the dorsal plate, and the apex is distinctly asymmetrical. The ventral process of the aedeagus in its basal portion is more protuberant in lateral view. The ear-like lateral processes of the dorsal plate of the aedeagus clearly extend beyond the overall lateral profile of the aedeagus when viewed ventrally or dorsally.
The material determined as P. gomyi and published by Janák (2014) is in fact P. janaki sp. n.

Type locality. Colombia, Santa Marta. (MNHN). Geographical distribution. Colombia, Venezuela.
Poecilosoma fontanieri Lucas, in Castelnau, 1857 was described on page 178, at the same time as Poecilosoma haemoptera Lucas, in Castelnau, 1857 and figured in the same plate (figures 6 and 5, respectively). Poecilosoma haemopterus was currently registered in catalogues and checklist. Monné (1994:24) listed P. fontanieri for the first time in a catalogue, and the species was omitted by Gemminger & Harold (1872), Aurivillius (1912) and Blackwelder (1946). Lucas described and illustrated a male, here we describe the female.
Female. Head, antennae, thorax, legs and abdomen black, elytra orange red with four tranverse black patches, basal and apical from lateral sides to suture, second and third not quite extending to suture.
Antennae reaching the middle of elytra, antennomeres 1-6 filiform, 7-11 serrated, Prothorax with median lateral tubercles moderately projected, surface uniformely and moderately punctate. Apices of elytra subtruncated, with a minute conical projection at sutural margin. Surface rugosely punctate at base, punctures more sparse to apex. Fifth urotegite and urosternite transversely truncated.
Measurements, in mm. male/female. Total length, 26.3/24.5; prothorax length, 6.2/5.0; prothorax width, 9.0/ 7.5; elytral length, 19.3/18.3; humeral width, 9.6/9.4.
