Diagnosis. Length: male = 4.22mm, female = 5.21mm. A dark species, with three conspicuous pale spots on clavus. Clavus with a central round pale saddle mark, anteriorally flanked by lateral symmetrical pale marks, sometimes showing as clear patches along clavus (see Fig. 7 a); darkest forms with only a central saddle mark. Crown and pronotum with posterior pale bands. Genitalia matching species group description (see Fig. 8 b–g). Endemic to West Maui.
Distribution. USA: Hawaiian Islands, Maui, West Mauna Kahalawai, Pu’u Kukui, ~ 1220m, wet forest (Fig. 3).
Measurements. Body length (n=5): Male (n=5) = 4.22mm (4.15mm – 4.30mm); Female (n=8) = 5.21mm (5.10mm – 5.40mm). Genitalia (n=5): Pygofer = 0.57mm (0.55mm – 0.59mm); Style = 0.47mm (0.46mm – 0.48mm); Connective = 0.28mm (0.27mm – 0.29mm); Aedeagus lateral length = 0.35mm (0.34mm – 0.37mm); Aedeagus posterior height = 0.15mm (0.14mm – 0.16mm).
Material examined. Type Material: Holotype: 1 male, Hawaiian Islands, West Maui, Mauna Kahalawai, Pu’u Kukui, Boardwalk Trail, N20 o 56.078 W156 o 36.985, Elevation: 1220m, 23Nov2009. Host Plant: Broussaisia arguta. Coll. G.M. Bennett, K. Magnacca, P.M. O’Grady. Deposited in the BPBM, Honolulu, Hawai’i. Type #: 17304. Additional Material: 12 males, 11 females, Hawaiian Islands, West Maui, Mauna Kahalawai, Pu’u Kukui, Boardwalk Trail, N20 o 56.078 W156 o 36.985, Elevation: 1220m, Elevation: 940m, 23Nov2009, 7Aug2007, Coll. G.M. Bennett, K. Magnacca, P.M. O’Grady. Deposited in the BPBM, Honolulu, Hawai’i. 1 female, Hawaiian Islands, West Maui, Wet Forest below Nakalalua, Pu’u Kukuii Trail, 1220m, 26May2004. N20o 54’58” W156o 35’37”, Coll: DA Polhemus. Deposited in D.A. Polhemus’s personal collection at the Smithsonian, Washington D.C.
Etymology. The name chosen for this species refers to the host plant genus name it occurs on, Broussaisia.
Discussion. This species is nearly indistinguishable from the East Maui sibling species. Morphologically, the only character that distinguishes N. broussaisiai is the variable color pattern on the clavus, which is generally darker.

description: Despite increasing research on Intellectual Humility (IH) in recent years, most research has been conducted in the USA. We argue that this is due to a lack of scales that are validated in languages other than English. The goal of this study is to translate three established IH scales to German and validate them within Germanophone contexts. We plan to recruit participants who are proficient German speakers and at least 18 years old. Items of three Intellectual Humility scales (CIHS, Krumrei-Mancuso & Rouse, 2016; SIHS, Hoyle et al., 2016; LIHS, Leary et al., 2017) were translated from English into German by two independent researchers. Based on expert ratings (n = 8), translations were selected, revised, and pre-tested (n = 13) with an online-survey. We aim to validate the scales plus an already existing German IH scale with an online-survey (N = 697). To assess discriminant validity, we will include scales for social desirability, cognitive closure, need for cognition, HEXACO honesty-humility, and openness. Incremental validity is assessed by measuring affective polarization. Confirmatory Factor Analyses and further analyses will be conducted with JASP and R.

description: The Sociomoral Reflection Measure – Short Form Objective (SRM-SFO) aims to assess the reasoning and valuing components of moral judgment. A new index for measuring moral reasoning is introduced. The first study assessed construct validity by examining the structure and invariance of moral reasoning and moral value evaluation in community adolescents and adults from The Netherlands (N = 1,583). Factor analyses supported the unidimensionality of both components. Measurement invariance was found across age groups, gender, and educational levels. Convergent validity was supported by positive relationships between moral reasoning and age in males and between moral reasoning and higher educational levels. Divergent validity was supported by the weak relationship of both components with social desirability and their negative relationship with self-centered orientation and self-reported antisocial/delinquent behavior. The second study included incarcerated juvenile delinquents (N = 246). Measurement invariance was found for both components across delinquency groups. Furthermore, community participants reporting no antisocial/delinquent behavior showed higher levels on both components than community participants reporting antisocial/delinquent behavior and juvenile delinquents. The SRM-SFO provides acceptable to good psychometric properties for assessing the reasoning and valuing components of moral judgment. Its practical benefits support its use in large-scale research from young adolescence onward.The SRM-SFO consists of 10 sets of questions. Each set introduces a value, often in an everyday context (Appendix). The values are organized in four areas: Contract & Truth (item set 1-4), Affiliation (5), Life (6-7), Property, Law, and Legal Justice (8-10). Following the introductory stem is a question regarding the evaluation of the importance of a certain value (like ‘keeping promises’) and subsequently questions for reasoning or justification for support of the importance of that value.

description: Genus Myrsidea Waterston
Myrsidea Waterston 1915: 12. Type species: Myrsidea victrix Waterston by original designation.
A thorough characterization of this genus is given in Clay (1966). We will give here only features that are significant in defining the genus as it pertains to toucan lice.
Head (Fig. 1) anteriorly rounded; without lateral notch or slit; inner occipital setae long, outer minute; without ventral sclerotized processes; each side of gula with heavier longer posterior seta; hypopharyngeal sclerites well developed.
Thorax with pronotum lacking central setae near transverse carina; with 3 short setae at each lateral angle. Mesonotum well defined, with 2 minute setae adjacent to postnotum and 2 at posterior margin. Metanotum without central setae. Prosternal plate well developed, elongate, with 2 short anterior setae; mesothorax with notum, pleura, and sternum fused to form strongly sclerotized ring; metasternum large, diamond shaped, usually with 6 setae, much less often 4, 5, 7, or 8; venter of femur III with setal brush.
Abdomen with undivided tergites, without anterior setae except for very small corner seta on each side of tergite I; sternite I small, without setae; sternite II enlarged, with aster of 4–6 heavy setae at each lateroposterior corner. Female anus oval, without inner setae; subgenital plate of fused sternites VII–IX, with lightly serrated posterior margin. Male subgenital plate of fused sternites VIII–IX; genitalia of characteristic shape (Fig. 2), with spinous sac having small associated sclerites.
Sexual dimorphism is limited to males having smaller dimensions, sparser abdominal chaetotaxy, and differences associated with genitalic features of the posterior abdomen. Some females may have a gross enlargement of the metanotum (Figs. 9, 13) or abdominal tergite I (Figs. 3, 5, 8), and corresponding reduction of some anterior tergites. Male segments are unmodified (Figs. 1, 12).

Remarks. The description by Eichler (1951) provides a few generally valueless details, unaccompanied by illustrations. Carriker [and Diaz­Ungria] (1961) stated that M. abbreviata is “…certainly conspecific with M. victrix Waterston ” and placed it as a subspecies of M. victrix. He noted, however, that the female has all transverse tergites, none highly modified as for M. victrix. That Carrkier placed no importance on this tergal state is counter to his usual practice of employing minor features to justify recognition of new taxa.
The lengths of the postspiracular setae for both sexes, along with the configuration of the male genital sac sclerites and slight enlargement of female tergites I–III, separate M. abbreviata from the others of this group. The male genital sac sclerites are essentially identical to those of M. victrix, and are quite different from those of other males in the abbreviata species group.

Material. Ex P. a. m a r i a e, 4 males, PERU: Dept. Madre de Dios, Hda. Amazonia, near Atalaya Ridge 330 m. above Hda. (DHC­85­058; 1985); 2 females, PERU: Loreto, 86 km SE Juanjui on E bank upper Rio Pauya, 07°38'40" S, 75°54'58" W (MSS­3666; 2000). Ex P. inscriptus humboldti Wagler, 2 female, 2 males, PERU: Loreto, 36 km SE Juanjui on E bank upper Rio Pauya, 07°35'10" S, 75°56'01" W (JLK­219; 2001); 1 male, PERU: Dpto.

Remarks. Eichler (1953) gave a brief essentially useless description of this species based on a single female and accompanied by a meaningless illustration of the prosternal plate. Both sexes of M. dorotheae differ from M. abbreviata by their shorter postspiracular setae on III and fewer sternal setae on IV–VI. Males also are distinguished by their unique genital sac sclerites (Fig. 16).

Type host. Pteroglossus aracari (L.).
Female. As in Fig. 17. Metanotal margin with 6 setae. Tergites III–V with slight medioposterior convexity. Tergal setae: I, 15; II, 20; III–VI, 23–26; VII, 15; VIII, 8. Postspiracular setae very long on I–VIII. Medium inner posterior marginal setae on IX. Sternal setae: II, 31; III, 37; IV–VI, 42–49; VII, 22; subgenital plate, 36.

Remarks. The very long postspiracular setae on III and V, the consistently larger dimensions, the male genital sac sclerites without a lateral bifurcation (Fig. 18 vs. Fig. 16), and the female metanotal margin with only 6 setae allow separation of M. lanei from M. dorotheae and M. aleixoi.
Etymology. This species is named for Daniel F. Lane, Louisiana State University, in recognition of his help in collecting many valuable louse specimens used in this and other studies of lice.

Mythicomyia rigirostris Evenhuis, 1981: 6. Evenhuis, 1983: 487. Mythenteles rigirostris (Evenhuis). Evenhuis, 2002b: 36.
Reexamination of the unique type of Mythicomyia rigirostris showed characters that required that it be transferred to Mythenteles, which was done by Evenhuis (2002b). The wing venation, which was somewhat obscured when originally described, has been repositioned to give a more clear view and reveals a distinct vein M separating the cells br and bm plus a distinct vein A1 reaching the wing margin. The genitalia have not been dissected due to the paucity of material at hand. The external characters should serve to easily separate it from the congeners.
Very little can be added to the original description and it is reproduced here with a more detailed description of the wing venation. Material additional to or modified from the original description are placed in brackets.
DESCRIPTION. Female (Fig. 24). Length: 1.33 mm. Head. [Eyes dichoptic]; “as in asiatica; proboscis extending beyond oral margin, equal in length to entire body.
Thorax. Black, gray pollinose; scutellum brown with yellow laterally; otherwise as in asiatica. Legs: yellow, tarsi brown.
Wing. [(Fig. 15) Hyaline, veins brown; costa ends slightly beyond end of vein R4+5; 4 posterior cells; Sc incomplete; r­m crossvein at basal 1/4 of cell dm; cell dm complete, vein M separating basal cells complete; R2+3 short, ending in R1 before junction with costal vein, sinuous; veins R4+5 and M2 fairly straight to wing margin; M1 curved to wing margin; cell cup open slightly at wing margin; vein A1 present, slightly sclerotized; anal lobe normal, not keel­like in shape].
Abdomen. Brownish with yellow on posterior and lateral margins of each tergite; sternum yellow.
Genitalia. Not dissected.
Male. Unknown.”
Type. Holotype female from: BANGLADESH: Harbang Forest, 6 mi. N. Chiringa, 50 ft., 18.ix.1961, E.S. Ross & D.Q. Cavagnaro, deposited in CAS (#13,910). Type examined during this study. When originally described, the wings of the type specimen were positioned in such a way as to obscure the salient characters of the venation. During this study, I re­humidified the specimen and carefully repositioned one of the wings so as to allow clear view of the venational characters necessary to verify its generic placement.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Bangladesh.

Type material. Syntypes 1♀ and 1 juv. [not examined] with text data “Zwischen Tschintasy und Suwanko (Su, Suchow), 1.–5. VI 86 ” and introduction data “(69) l/ 5.VI.86 Zwischen Tschintasy und Suwanko (Suchow), Inner Mongolia ”. This information refers to a locality somewhere between modern town Jinta (39°59’N, 98°53’E) and Potanin’s locality “Su-van’-no” (not Suwanko) which is about 40 km NNE from Jinta and may refer to Choushuidun on a modern map (ca 40°17’N, 99°04’E).
Comment. Judging from the description, it is a rather large species, ca. 9 mm long. It has a rather low carapace in frontal view. Its epigyne does not resemble any species known to us.

Type material. Xysticus davidi: 4 ♀ syntypes [examined], one herewith designated as a lectotype and the epigyne dissected: “Mus Paris, Kion-Kiang a. David 1198-74”. Text data: “Kiukiang, V 1873: 1 ♀” indicates only one specimen. Data in introduction “Dd 5 Kiu-kiang, Kiangsi”—which refers to modern Jiangxi Province, Jiujiang.
Xysticus excavatus: holotype ♀ [examined] with dissected epigyne: labels: “Potanin 43”, “43” and “Потанинъ” which refer to: Gansu “Kloster Kadigel” 26.05.1885. Text data “Kloster Schine... Sume, Ordos, 9 IX 84: 1 ♀” which refers to Potanin’s number 10.
Xysticus hotingchiehi: holotype ♀ [examined] without legs, only with left femur I, abdomen separated from prosoma, epigyne dissected; vial label “Wuchang Ho Tingthich”. Text data “Wuchang, 1937: 1 ♀”. Data in introduction: “Wu - Wuchang, Hupei, Mr. Ho-Ting-Chich, 1937” (=Wuhan, Hubei Privince).
Xysticus pentagonius: holotype ♀ and paratype ♀ [examined] from ZMMU, RUSSIA, Amur Area, Tambovski Distr., Muraviovka Park, July 2001 (R. Seyfulina).
Comments. All synonymised species have the same shape of epigyne, are of a similar size and have similar markings. It is possible that this species is conspecific either with X. ferruginoides Schenkel, 1963 or X. insulicola Bösenberg & Strand, 1906.
Xysticus ferruginoides was described on the basis of both sexes, but the female was mismatched and the true female remains unknown. Additional evidence that X. ferruginoides can be a senior synonym of X. davidi comes from fact that the holotypes of Xysticus amurensis Seyfulina & Mikhailov, 2004 (♂, = ferruginoides) and X. pentagonius Seyfulina & Mikhailov, 2004 (♀, = X. davidi) were collected in the same locality. Because 1) female of X. ferrugionoides is unknown, 2) epigyne and vulva of X. insulicola were not properly illustrated, 3) type localities of X. davidi and X. hotingchiehi lie in coastal areas, while the type locality of X. excavatus lies in mountains, there is a possibility that X. davidi and X. hotingchiehi can be synonyms of X. insulicola, but that X. excavatus can be a synonym of X. ferruginoides.

X. fagei Schenkel, 1963: 218, fig 123 (♀). Syn. n.
Type material. Holotype ♀ [examined], with dissected epigyne (epigyne was lost during manipulations). Vial labels: “Hangtoheou A. Pichon” and “Potanin 85”. Text data “Hangtseheou, Tschekiang, 1925”. Data in the introduction refer correspondingly to “Hangtscheu, Tschekiang, A. Pichon, Comm. de Douane, 1925” and data for “Potanin 85” are lacking. Pichon’s label seems to refer to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Comments. Xysticus fagei Schenkel, 1963 is a junior homonym of X. fagei Lessert, 1919 from East Africa (Platnick 2014). Because of synonymy, and accounting for the fact that the African X. fagei belongs to another species group, which seems to have its own genus name Bassanioides Pocock, 1903 we refrain from providing a new name for this junior synonym.
Judging from the epigyne of the holotype X. fagei is undoubtedly conspecific with X. ephippiatus. The figure of the epigyne provided by Schenkel looks very different from the epigyne of the holotype.

Type material. Syntypes 2♂ and 1♀ [not examined], text data “Urga = Tsitsikhar, 1896”; data in introduction: “Cn 2, Urga-Zizichar, Mongolei-Mandschurei, Chaffanjon, 1896” which means that syntypes were collected during a long (over 1300 km) trip from Urga (=Ulaanbaatar) to Tsitsikhar (=Qiqihar).
Comments. There is no evidence that male and female syntypes were collected together during the 1300 km trip. While males of this species are very similar to X. insulicola Bösenberg & Strand, 1906, the syntype female of X. ferrugionoides has an epigyne very different from those of X. insulicola and has a septum like in X. audax (Schrank, 1803). The septum is lacking in X. insulicola as well as in related species such as X. ephippiatus and X. emertoni Keyserling, 1880. In our opinion, the syntype males and female are not conspecific. The male was well redescribed by Logunov & Marusik (1994), although types were not examined. The male of this species may be conspecific with X. davidi, X. excavatus or X. hotingchiehi. Here we refrain from providing synonymies because we have no males and females collected from the same locality. Xysticus ferrudinoides is related to X. insulicola which was originally described from Japan, and is now known also from Russia, China and Korea (Song et al. 1999). The two species differ by the shape of the lower part of the tegular apophysis.
