Philopteroides kayanobori

description: Philopteroides kayanobori (Uchida, 1948)
Bitrabeculus kayanobori Uchida, 1948: 322, fig. 8.
Philopterus kayanobori – Hopkins & Clay 1952: 285.
Philopteroides kayanobori – Mey 2004: 174.
Type host
Spizixos semitorques cinereicapillus Swinhoe, 1871 – collared finchbill.
Material examined
Non-type material (identity uncertain) (ex Spizixos semitorques cinereicapillus) CHINA • 2 ♀♀; Hunan Province, Tea station in Badagong Mountain Reserve; 23 Jul. 2012; D. Su leg.; J0102; GD-PHTH-00311; GIABR.
Type locality
“Bohosho, Dist. Nanto, Formosa” = Nantou County, Taiwan.
Remarks
Bitrabeculus kayanobori was placed in Philopteroides by Mey (2004), without justification. The original description and illustration of this species was based on a single male and single female (Uchida 1948), and fits with the description of the genus Philopteroides, except that the illustration indicates three temporal macrosetae on each side, whereas other species of Philopteroides only have two temporal macrosetae on each side. If correct, this character separates Ph. kayanobori from all other known species of Philopteroides.
We examined two female Philopteroides from the mainland host subspecies Spizixos semitorques semitorques Swinhoe, 1861. These specimens were reported as Po. kayanobori by Chu et al. (2019); however, these specimens do not have ps on abdominal segment III, as in the original illustrations of this species. Moreover, both specimens have only two temporal macrosetae on each side. As Uchida (1948) only illustrated the male, and both our specimens are female, we cannot presently confirm whether these specimens are conspecific with Po. kayanobori.

Several records of Ixodes apronophorus have been published under the name Ixodes arvicolae, described by Warburton (1926), a synonym of Ixodes apronophorus, as detailed in Guglielmone & Nava (2014).
The presence of Ixodes apronophorus in northern China was reported first by Guo et al. (2016), and its presence there was recognized in Zhang, G. et al. (2019), Zhang, Y.K. et al. (2019) and here, but not in Zhao et al. (2021). China (north) is provisionally included within the range of Ixodes apronophorus.
Andersson et al. (2018) and Rar et al. (2020) found molecular and morphological differences between Russian and Romanian populations of Ixodes apronophorus, indicating that more than one species may exist under this name.

Low temperature magnetic force microsocopy characterization of adjustable 3D ferrimagnetic multilayers based on NdCo+GdCotrilayers
Creators: name: Rodríguez Rodríguez, Gabriel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Multilayered systems allow us to tune the desired magnetic behavior of the entire structure by precisely adjusting material properties, thicknesses, and magnetic interactions such as exchange and magnetostatics for the involved materials. This capability is extremely useful to build advanced spintronic devices or magnetic recording media. Ferrimagnetic materials such as Gd-Co alloys exhibit adjustable magnetization, offering the possibility of controlling features such as spin-wave modes, skyrmion nucleation or fast domain wall motion [1]. In addition, temperature dependence of all these properties increases the interest of this kind of systems.A GdCo/NdCo/GdCo trilayered system has been designed to support an exchange spring at the top layer as ferrimagnetic GdCo alloys present a soft magnetic behavior with weak PMA [2] [Figure 1], so the middle NdCo layer with its high anisotropy (one order of magnitude larger than GdCo layer) can create a pattern of stripe domains with alternating up-down magnetization orientation, that can be used to control the configuration in the neighboring GdCo layers via interfacial exchange and magnetostatic interactions. Low temperature MFM under variable field shows the results of the anisotropy, exchange and magnetostatic interactions across the entire GdCo/NdCo/GdCo trilayer: Stripe pattern reconfiguration along the entire hysteresis loop (mainly induced by the NdCo mid-layer) and the collapse of the top PMA stripe pattern above Bz=800mT

Remarks
Specimens from Alophoixus flaveolus burmanicus and A. pallidus henrici examined by us are indistinguishable from the illustrations of Najer et al. (2012), and we agree with Chu et al. (2019) that these specimens represent Po. flavala. Chu et al. (2019) also reported this species from Hypsipetes leucocephalus (Gmelin, 1789), but the male on which this report was based was misidentified (see below).

Material examined (ex Hypsipetes leucocephalus ambiens) CHINA • 1 ♂; Yunnan Province, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Ruili City, Huyu Township, Weijiao Village; 16 May 2013; Y. Zhang and Z. Huang leg.; J1195; GD-PHTH-00317; GIABR.
Remarks
We have re-examined the male Philopteroides reported from H. l. ambiens by Chu et al. (2019) in light of the new descriptions and the key constructed for this manuscript. This specimen has male genitalia that are similar to those of Po. longiclypeatus sp. nov., but with a larger and more semi-circular gonopore. Moreover, on segments III–IV the lateral accessory sternal plates are connected to the central sternal plate by a slightly narrowed “isthmus”. Unfortunately, the male is poorly cleared, and cannot be
described. However, as we do not consider it conspecific with Po. flavala, we hereby remove this record from the list of hosts from which this species is known.

Material. Living specimens in squeeze preparation; whole mounts for fluorescence imaging of musculature.
Localities. Itaçucê Island, São Sebastião Channel, from coarse shelly sand with silt taken from 5 m water depth (23°49’S, 45°20’W); Praia Barreiros, Ilhabela, from subtidal coarse-grained sand with silt (23°45’52.2”S, 45°20’56.6”W); Praia do Araçá, São Sebastião, from intertidal mud (23°49’01.9”S, 45°24’23.2”W).
Description. Mature specimen ~ 620 m in length and ~ 150 m wide (Fig. 15 A). Anterior and posterior ends rounded; posterior club-shaped (Fig. 15 A). Body mostly without coloration in transmitted light except for gold coloration of diatoms in digestive syncytium. Rhabdoid glands not present. Mouth opening on ventral surface, anterior half of body.
Ovaries and testes paired. Female gonopore and accessory organs absent. Male gonopore on ventral surface, middle of body; opens to short, muscular penis invaginated into a muscular seminal vesicle (Fig. 15 B).
Remarks. Marcus (1950) found this species in gray mud at 5 m water depth along the coast of Ilhabela and identified it as Proaphanostoma tenuissima (Westblad, 1946) despite the fact that his specimens lacked a seminal bursa, which is present in P. t e n u i s s i m a. Due to this morphological difference, Dõrjes and Karling (1975) erected a new species, Avagina marci, for the Brazilian specimens. In spite of the differences of the female reproductive organs, P. tenuissima and A. marci are quite similar to each other and are likely to be sibling species.

Remarks
In light of these new descriptions, we re-examined the specimen of Philopteroides reported by Chu et al. (2019) from H. c. canipennis. The specimen is poorly cleared, and many characters used in our key cannot be seen; in our key, it is impossible to get beyond couplet 9 for this specimen. Overall, there seem to be no characters that directly contradict the statement that this specimen represents Po. flavala, but we prefer to consider this specimen to be unidentified, as the identity cannot be established with certainty. We therefore hereby remove H. c. canipennis from the host list of Po. flavala.

Records of Ixodes auritulus from South Pacific islands are based on Heath et al. (2011) and are named Ixodes auritulus zealandicus, most probably a species in itself (see note below).
Camicas et al. (1998, under the name Scaphixodes auritulus) and Guglielmone et al. (2014) listed this species as found in the Afrotropical Region, but records from that region have not been confirmed and the Afrotropics are excluded from the range of Ixodes auritulus (Guglielmone et al. 2020, 2021). There are also controversial records of Ixodes auritulus from the Antarctic Peninsula and South Atlantic and Indian Ocean islands that are not included in the range of this tick. Kolonin (2009) and Castrezana (2010) included Papua New Guinea and Mexico, respectively, within the range of Ixodes auritulus; however, the presence of this tick in those countries has not been confirmed, and Mexico and Papua New Guinea are provisionally excluded from its range.
Arthur (1960b), González-Acuña et al. (2005), Guglielmone et al. (2020, 2021) and others treated Ixodes auritulus as a name for a species complex, an opinion also endorsed here.
Note: the literature review for this monograph was completed on March 31, 2022. Subsequently, Apanaskevich et al. (Zootaxa, 5173, 1-73; August 5, 2022) confirmed that the name Ixodes auritulus has historically been applied to a species complex containing at least nine taxa distributed in the Australasian, Nearctic and Neotropical Zoogeographic Regions. However, these taxa are not discussed here.

description: Research on human-AI teams usually provides experts with a single label, which ignores the uncertainty in a model's recommendation. Conformal prediction (CP) is a well established line of research that focuses on building a theoretically grounded, calibrated prediction set, which may contain multiple labels. We explore how such prediction sets impact expert decision-making in human-AI teams. Our evaluation on human subjects finds that set valued predictions positively impact experts. However, we notice that the predictive sets provided by CP can be very large, which leads to unhelpful AI assistants. To mitigate this, we introduce D-CP, a method to perform CP on some examples and defer to experts. We prove that D-CP can reduce the prediction set size of non-deferred examples. We show how D-CP performs in quantitative and in human subject experiments ($n=120$). Our results suggest that CP prediction sets improve human-AI team performance over showing the top-1 prediction alone, and that experts find D-CP prediction sets are more useful than CP prediction sets.

Material. Topotype. MZUSP PL. 189, one set of 1.5-µm-thick serial sagittal sections of epoxy-embedded specimen stained with toluidine blue; living specimens in squeeze preparation; whole mounts for fluorescence imaging of musculature.
Localities. Itaçucê Island, São Sebastião Channel, from coarse shelly sand with silt taken from 5 m water depth (23°49’S, 45°20’W); Praia Barreiros, Ilhabela, from subtidal, silty flocculent layer on sand (23°45’52.2”S, 45°20’56.6”W).
Description. Mature specimen ~ 500 m in length and ~ 200 m wide (Fig. 16 A). Anterior and posterior ends rounded. Body mostly without coloration in transmitted light except yellow and green coloration in digestive syncytium. Sperm in seminal vesicle light orange in color. Rhabdoid glands arranged in distinct rows. Mouth opening on ventral surface, middle of body.
Ovaries and testes paired. Common genital pore opens caudally into male copulatory organ and rostrally into vagina. Vagina surrounded by weakly muscular sphincter; opens anteriorly to walled bursa that leads to short bursal nozzle ~ 5 m in length. Cells composing bursal nozzle wrap posteriorly around sides of bursa (Fig. 16 B). Long, curved, muscular, glandular penis contains numerous spherical glandular secretions within lumen (Fig. 16 B). Penis invaginated into muscular seminal vesicle containing sperm and a cluster of glandular secretions.
Remarks. This species can be distinguished from other species of Isodiametra known from Brazil by its long, curved penis containing large, spherical glandular secretions and by the lateral extensions of the bursal nozzle that enwrap the sides of the bursa.

Type host
Pycnonotus cafer intermedius Blyth, 1846 – red-vented bulbul.
Type locality
Pakistan, specific locality not provided.
Remarks
Ansari (1955, 1956, 1958b) described this species as new three times, but only Ansari (1958b) included enough details to be able to place this species accurately. As argued by Gustafsson & Bush (2017), this species belongs in Penenirmus Clay & Meinertzhagen, 1938, rather than Sturnidoecus Eichler, 1944. The type specimens of this species are presumed to be lost (Naz et al. 2020), and it has never been described or illustrated in sufficient detail. It should be considered a species inquirenda. No other species of Penenirmus have been described from any species of bulbul, but the genus is widely distributed across a large range of hosts (Price et al. 2003), and is generally poorly known, so species parasitizing bulbuls may have been overlooked. It is also possible that Ansari’s specimens constituted stragglers or contaminations. Until more red-vented bulbuls have been examined, and it has been established whether or not Pe. guldum naturally occurs on this host species, Pe. guldum should be considered a species inquirenda.

Locality. Praia de São Francisco, São Sebastião, São Paulo, Brazil, from intertidal coarse sand (23°45’45.1”S, 45°24’27.1”W).
Description. Living specimens ~ 300 m in length and ~ 90 m wide (Fig. 17 A). By transmitted light, body with greenish coloration in digestive syncytium and reddish-orange contents in chordoid vacuoles at margins of body. Rhabdoid glands in distinct rows. Mouth opening on ventral surface, middle of body.
Ovaries and testes paired. Common genital pore opens caudally into male copulatory organ and rostrally into vagina. Vagina surrounded by weakly muscular sphincter; opens anteriorly to walled bursa that leads to bursal nozzle (Fig. 17 B). Long, muscular, glandular penis with small granular gland-secretions in lumen (Fig. 17 B). Penis invaginated into muscular seminal vesicle containing sperm and a cluster of glandular secretions.
Remarks. The specimens of Isodiametra vexillaria collected by Marcus (1948) from Santos Bay, ~ 160 km to the south of our collection site, were considerably larger than ours (500–800 µm long); however, the coloration and shape of the bursal nozzle and penis described by Marcus (1948) matches that of our specimens, and as such, we treat them here as conspecifics.

Philopterus sturni var. acutifrons Uchida, 1949: 549.
Sturnidoecus acutifrons – Hopkins & Clay 1952: 344.
Type host
Hypsipetes amaurotis ogawae Hartert, 1907 – brown-eared bulbul.
Type locality
Amami-Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Remarks
Philopterus acutifrons was based on a single female, which was never illustrated or described in detail. It was separated from Philopterus sturni [= Sturnidoecus sturni (Schrank, 1776)] based on differences in measurements, the shape of the frons, and the lack of setae on posterior corners of the prothorax. In Philopteroides, the pronotal setae are situated more medianly, which may be interpreted as an ‘absence’ of setae on the pronotum. Similarly, the frons of Philopteroides on bulbuls is generally narrower and more deeply emarginated than in Sturnidoecus sturni (cf. Fig. 108 with Gustafsson & Bush 2017: fig. 379). However, as at least some of Uchida’s species appear to be described from stragglers or contaminations (see above), it is possible that his specimen of P. acutifrons is a straggler that could belong to any head louse ecomorph genus occurring in Japan. Without examining specimens it is impossible to know what genus this belongs to; the species is in need of redescription, and should presently be considered a species inquirenda. If the type specimen is lost, it may be best to consider this name a nomen dubium, as it cannot reliably be placed in any genus.

Material. Living specimens in squeeze preparation; whole mounts for fluorescence imaging of musculature.
Localities. Praia da Fazenda, Ubatuba, from intertidal fine sand (23°21’37.8”S, 44°51’00.3”W); Praia da Enseada, Caraguatatuba, from intertidal fine sand (23°39’58.8”S, 45°25’47.0”W); Praia Pedra do Sino, Ilhabela, from intertidal coarse sand (23°44’49.8”S, 45°20’52.9”W).
Description. Living specimen ~ 500 m in length and ~ 100 m wide (Fig. 18 A). Body mostly without coloration by transmitted light except for reddish-brown material in chordoid vacuoles at edges of body. Rhabdoid glands arranged in rows. Mouth opening ventral, middle of body.
Ovaries and testes paired. Common gonopore opens caudally into male copulatory organ and rostrally into vagina. Vagina surrounded by weakly muscular sphincter; opens anteriorly to walled bursa that leads to short bursal nozzle (Fig. 18 B). Short, muscular penis surrounded by glandular secretions and sperm that lie within seminal vesicle (Fig. 18 B).
Remarks. Isodiametra westbladi was found in large quantities at three sites, with thousands of specimens emerging from our sediment extractions. The short, muscular penis appears to lack glandular secretions within the lumen and can be difficult to see in squeeze preparations. The musculature of the male copulatory organ of I. westbladi, including the penis, was revealed clearly in our whole mounts stained for fluorescence imaging of musculature (Hooge & Tyler 2005).

Material. Living specimens in squeeze preparation; whole mounts for fluorescence imaging of musculature.
Locality. Praia São Francisco, São Sebastião, São Paulo, Brazil, from intertidal coarse-grained sand (23°45’45.1”S, 45°24’27.1”W).
Description. Living specimens ~ 1.3 mm long and 200 m wide (Fig. 19A). Conspicuous gold rhabdoid glands in rows visible by transmitted light. Mouth opening on ventral surface, middle of body.
Female gonopore and accessory organs absent. Male gonopore at posterior end; opens to muscular penis invaginated into elongate, muscular seminal vesicle (Fig. 19B).
Remarks. The male copulatory organ was difficult to see in squeeze preparations of live material. Marcus (1952) reported that the gonopore of P. d i v a e was positioned terminally or subterminally; however, at least one of our specimens had a supraterminal male gonopore (Fig. 19B). The penis musculature of this species is consistent with that found for other species in the family Isodiametridae (see Hooge & Tyler 2005).

There are morphological differences between the description of the female of Ixodes berlesei in Yu et al. (1997) and the descriptions of other workers; as well, the larva of this tick in Clifford et al. (1975a) differs from the larva depicted in Filippova (1958, 1997). Clifford et al. (1975a) classified their specimens from Nepal as Ixodes berlesei or a species close to it. According to Filippova (1997), the name Ixodes berlesei has been applied to different species, such as Ixodes caledonicus.
The presence of Ixodes berlesei in Mongolia is based on Kiefer et al. (2010), but this was not recognized by Černý, J. et al. (2019), while Perfilyeva et al. (2020) did not list Ixodes berlesei as present in Kazakhstan, but it was recorded from that country by Kolonin (2009) and others. Mongolia and Kazakhstan are provisionally included within the geographic distribution of Ixodes berlesei.

description: Viewing distance and display resolution have ar-guably a significant impact on perceived image quality; images seen on a mobile phone with high pixel density reveal fewer distortions than the same images seen on a large TV from a close distance. However, only a few image and video quality metrics account for the effect of viewing distance and resolution. Those that do, typically rely on contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) of the visual system. Other metrics can be potentially adapted to different viewing distances by rescaling input images. In this paper, we investigate the performance of such adapted metrics together with those that natively account for viewing distance. The results for three testing datasets indicate that there is no evidence that the metrics based on the CSF outperform those that rely on rescaled images. Moreover, we found that both methods are not successful to account for the changes in quality introduced by the change in viewing distance. We conclude that accounting for viewing distances requires better models.
