description: The motion of a tracked object often has long term underlying dependencies due to premeditated actions dictated by intent, such as destination. Revealing this intent, as early as possible, can enable advanced intelligent system functionalities for conflict/opportunity detection and automated decision making, for instance in surveillance and human computer interaction. This paper presents a novel Bayesian intent inference framework that utilises sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods to determine the destination of a tracked object exhibiting unknown jump behaviour. The latter can arise from the object undertaking fast maneuvers (e.g. for obstacle avoidance) and/or due to external uncontrollable environmental perturbations. Suitable intent-driven stochastic models and inference routines are introduced. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated using synthetic and real data.

description: H. hippocampus (Linnaeus 1758)
English common names. Short-snouted Seahorse.
Synonyms. Gasterosteus equus Cabrera, Pérez, and Haenseler 1817, Syngnathus hippocampus Linnaeus 1758, H. heptagonus Rafinesque 1810, H. antiquorum Leach 1814, H. vulgaris Cloquet 1821, H. brevirostris Schinz 1822, H. antiquus Risso 1827, H. europaeus Ginsburg 1937; H. pentagonus Rafinesque 1810.
Distribution. Algeria, Albania, Azores, Croatia, France, The Gambia, Greece, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Italy, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Portugal, Senegal, Slovenia, Spain (including the Canary Islands), Turkey, UK, Western Sahara.
Neotype: BMNH 1872.2.6.3 (but see notes about Linnaeus’ specimens).
Type locality. Spain / Portugal, eastern Atlantic.
Notes. Linnaeus had two seahorses in his collection, one of which is the European Short-snouted Seahorse, the other is a distinctly spiny species of unknown identity (SL pers. obs., Maclaine 2015). Linnaeus himself made no distinction between different species of seahorse and gave them only a single name, Syngnathus hippocampus. This species name has been used extensively with the revised generic name for seahorses— Hippocampus) for the Short- Snouted Seahorse over the years, and is consistent with one of Linneaus’ specimens. Vasil’Eva (2007) however, suggests the use of H. hippocampus for the long-snouted European seahorse based on (some of) the meristic data in Linnaeus’ original descriptions. This action would be extremely disruptive to European seahorse nomenclature. We follow CF (Eschmeyer & Fricke 2016) and Maclaine (2015) in recommending that Vasil’Eva’s publication, its neotype designation, and its nomenclatural conclusions be suppressed. Hippocampus hippocampus consists of three distinct genetic units (921 bp cyt b and CR) in the English Channel/ Bay of Biscay, the Mediterranean/Atlantic Europe, and West Africa (Woodall et al. 2011). Hippocampus europaeus does not exhibit meristic or morphological characteristics that distinguish it (Appendix F). The average distance among the populations in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Europe is 0.89%, while the average distance of the West African populations is 1.90% from the above populations (Woodall et al. 2011), and these do tend to have distinctively large coronets (Lourie et al. 1999).

Both C. innocens and C. trapeziceps (w syntypes examined, MHNG) occur in Paraguay, but there is little justification for viewing these sympatric forms as conspecific. To my knowledge major workers of C. innocens have never been collected, but the minor of C. innocens has a markedly more slender head in full-face view than C. trapeziceps, a more elongate mesosoma, and thicker, longer pubescence on the head and mesosoma.

Syntypes. MNHN A-0906, RMNH 1537.
Type locality. Japan.
Notes. Five of the eleven specimens used by Fricke (2004) to describe H. curvicuspis were examined previously by the first author who did not find the cited morphological and meristic distinctions that purportedly separate these specimens from H. histrix (Lourie et al. 1999; Appendix G). In addition, one specimen (AMS IB.4155) in the type series appeared to be a member of a different species (H. spinosissimus) (SL pers. obs.). The wide geographic range of H. histrix (from east Africa to Japan) warrants further investigation, as Song & Mabuchi (2014) suggest that the genetic distance between Indian and Pacific H. histrix is 6.6–6.7% (CO1) and this is also suggested by BOLD (2016) which indicates a 6.13% distinction between specimens from Mozambique / India versus Viet Nam / Japan (648bp CO1). This high degree of divergence indicates the presence of at least one cryptic species across the range. There are no genetic data currently available for H. jayakari, which is morphologically very similar to but replaces H. histrix in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf.

Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) blandus st. crispulus Santschi 1929b: 315.
Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) blandus var. crispulus Santschi. Kempf 1972: 44.
Camponotus crispulus is locally sympatric in Paraguay with at least two other species in the C. blandus complex, most frequently the similarly-colored C. rosariensis. Both species share a similarly dense pubsence over most of the body and a common bicoloration consisting of a red head and mesosoma and a dark gaster. However, C. crispulus is structurally more compact, with shorter appendages and a relatively tall propodeum. In my experience, the easiest character to separate C. crispulus from other bicolored blandus-complex species is the unique pattern of pubescense on the gaster. While all species in the complex show some degree of medial convergence in the appressed setae on the gastric terga, in C. crispulus this convergence is extreme, starting on the first gastric tergite (= abd. tergite 3) well ahead of the posterior margin and continuing to the apex of the gaster almost as a visible line. Because of the distinct morphological separation in sympatry between C. crispulus and other closely-related forms, I find unambiguous the elevation of C. crispulus to species.
Material from Paraguay is a close match to Santschi’s types from Córdoba, although Santschi’s material is somewhat more pubescent. F. Smith’s C. blandus holotype worker (BMNH, examined- see discussion under C. pellitus) from Pará is clearly a different species, as that ant is more gracile than C. crispulus and lacks the distinct pubescence.

Camponotus crassus is the most frequently recorded Camponotus from Paraguay. This ant appears to be found in every terrestrial habitat type with woody vegetation of sufficient diameter to house the arboreal nests in hollow twigs. The coloration of the antennal scapes shows slight variation among collections, from testaceous to dark reddish brown. The amount of pilosity on the mesosomal dorsum also varies somewhat. Forel’s type of C. vezenyii from Asunción is slightly more pilose and has lighter colored scapes than Mayr’s type of C. crassus, but it still falls well within the range of variation observed in Paraguay and is synonymized here.
Santschi (1936) distinguished the variety C. picticornis from C. crassus on the basis of antennal scape color. I was unable to view Santschi’s types of C. picticornis from Loreto, Argentina, but several other series from northern Argentina at NHMB identified by Santschi as C. picticornis are within my conception of C. crassus.

Forel’s C. latinota types from San Bernadino (the replacement name is C. bajulus Emery) have slightly longer pilosity on the mesosomal dorsum and gastric terga than Forel’s iheringi type from São Paulo, but the two forms are otherwise similar. Forel (1909a) separated the two based on surface sculpture and mesosomal structure, but the sculpture differences are slight and full nest series of this species I have collected show enough allometric variation in mesosomal structure to call into question the reliability of Forel’s distinction. Since C. iheringi and C. bajulus are allopatric and the differences are ambiguous at best, I find little reason to treat these forms as separate.

Notes. This species was described on the basis of a single specimen, however since then a second specimen has been collected from Lord Howe Island (from the gut of a kingfish Seriola lalandi Valenciennes 1833), and is now deposited at the Australian Museum in Sydney. Hippocampus jugumus looks superficially similar to the species described as H. pusillus and H. fisheri, however the meristics do not agree (Lourie et al. 1999; Kuiter 2001; Fricke 2004). Additional research is required to determine the relationships among these three species.

Camponotus sexguttatus is a common ant throughout the neotropics, particularly in disturbed or edge habitats, that has accumulated an unfortunate number of infraspecific taxa. These names usually pertain to minor color differences. While C. sexguttatus in the broad sense may actually contain a number of cryptic species over the full range of the group, there is little chance that the current haphazard assortment of subspecies and varieties accurately represents them. Literature records from Paraguay include both C. sexguttatus (Forel 1906, Forel 1907b [as “ bimaculatus ”], Kempf 1972) and C sexguttatus var. fusciceps (Emery 1906, Kempf 1972). Examination of the specimens at MHNG on which the records are based shows both to belong to the single common species that I have been calling C. sexguttatus. A proper taxonomic study may eventually show that the forms from subtropical South America should have a different name, as the type of C. sexguttatus is Antillean in origin, far to the north.

Notes. Jawad et al. (2011) conclude there are morphological differences between H. kelloggi and specimens from Oman (potentially H. suezensis), however the crucial table containing distinguishing characteristics is missing from that paper and could thus not be Evaluated for this current revision. The specimens that we have examined do not show meristic differences (Appendix H). One of the paratype specimens identified as H. alatus appears to be a specimen of H. kelloggi (Appendix N), as are several specimens identified by Kuiter (2001) as H. tristis.

Hashmi (1973) never saw the types of C. lessonai and subsequently excluded C. lessonai from Myrmothrix. I located Emery’s lessonai types from San Pedro at MCSN and they are nearly identical to Forel’s type of C. damocles from San Bernadino (MHNG examined). Workers of these forms are considerably darker than Mayr’s type of C. cingulatus and match several recent collections from eastern Paraguay. I have also encountered light-colored C. cingulatus in San Pedro. Whether the presence of sympatric color morphs indicates mere intraspecific variation or the existence of cryptic species is not clear. However, Hashmi (1973) considered C. damocles a junior synonym of C. cingulatus, and if one adopts Hashmi’s broad concepcion of the species then C. lessonai should also be synonymized.

description: Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) is a promising technology for future quantum technology applications. Cooling units for ADRs are cheap and reliable while enabling base temperatures comparable to those obtained in dilution refrigerators. A challenge are the residual magnetic fields originating from the magnet used for recharging the paramagnetic salts, as these lower the operation fidelity of superconducting circuits. Here, we present the design of a 4 Kelvin two-stage mu-metal and Niobium magnetic shield with ports for 4 RF wires, and 48 DC lines. The lowest temperature stage enters the magnetic shield through a feedthrough, and contains an additional Copper infrared shield around the sample space. Using finite element simulations, we quantify the magnetic shielding factor before manufacturing. To benchmark the ADRs shielding performance, we characterize a set of Niobium resonators, measuring their quality factor. First results indicate a competitive performance of these resonators in our customized set-up.

COMMENTS. A. coccolobae is one of three species that form a natural grouping within Aleurodicus, their puparia lacking the more usual pair of small compound pores on each of abdominal segments VII & VIII, and with particularly dense provision of dorsal disc pores of four types. This small group was discussed in detail as part of the description of A. dispersus Russell (1965).

Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) punctulatus var. hispidus Emery. Kempf 1972: 70.
Several species in the Camponotus punctulatus complex occur in Paraguay and are among the more common groundnesting ants in open habitats. Camponotus hispidus can be distinguished from the locally sympatric C. punctulatus Mayr (syntype w examined, NHMW) by the more extensive pilosity on the head of the major. Camponotus punctulatus majors normally lack standing setae on the sides of the head and between the eye and the mandibular insertion, while C. hispidus majors have numerous subdecumbent to suberect setae on the sides of the head and> 10 between the eye and the mandibular insertion. As the pilosity of C. hispidus is more extensive than that of C. punctulatus, the integument of C. hispidus appears more densely and deeply punctate. Camponotus hispidus is piceous to black in color, while C. punctulatus in Paraguay is ordinarily bicolored with a reddish brown head and mesosoma a dark brown gaster. Since these two species are sympatric and distinct in Paraguay, there is no justification for retaining C. hispidus as a subspecies.

Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) punctulatus termitarius Emery. Kempf 1972: 71.
The aptly-named Camponotus termitarius is most commonly collected from old termite mounds in low-lying pastures and pastizales. This ant should be treated as a full species. Camponotus termitarius is locally sympatric with C. punctulatus (syntype w examined, NHMW), shows consistent differences in nesting site (C. punctulatus is a generalist groundnesting ant), and is morphological distinct in a number of characters. First, C. termitarius is more pilose, being intermediate in this regard between the relatively hirsute C. hispidus and the relatively bare C. punctulatus, lacking extensive standing hairs on the side of the head but bearing>8 between the eye and the mandibular insertions. Second, the propodeum of C. termitarius is lower, more elongate, and with a shorter declivitous face than that of C. punctulatus. Third, the microsculpture of the gastric tergites is more extensive, giving the gaster a duller appearance than in either C. hispidus or C. termitarius. Finally, the pubescence is more extensive in C. termitarius than in either C. hispidus or C. termitarius, with the fine appressed setae on the first gastric tergite separated by distances much shorter than the length of the setae and overlapping in places.

COMMENTS. A. dispersus is one of only two known Aleurodicus species that possess only 4 pairs of abdominal compound pores, in total, on the puparium. A third member of the same small assemblage (A. flavus Hempel) has additionally just one pair of tiny compound pores, situated on abdominal segment VII, otherwise strongly resembling A. dispersus.
A. dispersus was particularly unusual in remaining undescribed for many years, despite the accumulation of numerous samples in the USNM collection, most of them interceptions at United States port quarantine facilities; yet it is now the best­known of all Aleurodicus species. It is probable that A. dispersus (the so­called “spiralling whitefly”) is native to the Caribbean and northern South America. Although many of the paratypes are from these native areas, Russell chose a sample from Florida from which to select the holotype. This curious technicality qualifies A.dispersus as one of several neotropical whiteflies to have been described from material sampled in an area of probable introduction. This choice of holotype may have been the result of most other specimens, then available to Russell, being isolated quarantine interceptions with imprecise originating locality data. Since its description, the spiralling whitefly has become almost pan­tropical in its distribution, its rapid radiation having begun in the 1980s (Martin & Lucas, 1984; Martin 1990).

DISTRIBUTION. Neotropical Region — Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela; Nearctic Region — Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana, Texas; Pacific Region — Hawaii.
COMMENTS. A. dugesii has recently gained similar notoriety to A. dispersus although not yet increasing its range as extensively. It causes direct feeding damage to crops, and also cosmetic problems on ornamental plants through the unsightly appearance of its own woolly­waxy secretions, its excreted honeydew and the sooty mould that grows on the honeydew. Although described from Mexico, and almost certainly a native of Central America, it is the recent movement of this species into the southern states of the U.S.A. and Hawaii that has raised its profile, provided it with a vernacular name, “giant whitefly”, and gained it much coverage in contempory Internet reports.
Sampson & Drews (1941) stated that their new species, A. poriferus, differed from A. dugesii in two characters. Firstly, the puparia of A. poriferus were stated to have “simple pores scattered over the dorsum”. Examination of two syntypes of A. poriferus (UCD), marked “ holotype ” and “ paratype ” (but such status not mentioned in the description), revealed septate pores scattered over the dorsal disc, with a band of crowded wide­rimmed pores occupying the submargin, the submarginal band’s mesal boundary lined by poorlydefined double­rimmed pores (Fig. 70), exactly as also seen in Cockerell’s type­locality (probably syntypic) material of A. dugesii in BMNH. Secondly, the large compound pores of A. poriferus were stated each to have an axial “long process” (Fig. 70) which is, in fact, a character also clearly seen in many specimens of the Cockerell material. It is clear that A. poriferus should be regarded as a junior synonym of A. dugesii syn. nov.
