(Figs 8A‒C)
Limnophora obsignata is a widespread Mediterranean (Hennig 1959) and Afrotropical (Couri & Pont 2017) species, but the present study revealed that the existing records from the Canary Islands (Becker 1908a; Frey 1936; Hennig 1959; Chandler 1979; Santos Abréu 1976; Báez 1981) are based on misidentifications of other Limnophora species with a similar contrasting “ Anthomyia pattern” on the mesonotum (see Figs 5 and 7).
Material examined. [NHMD]: Large sample of males and females from: France (incl. Corsica), Greece (incl. Crete), Portugal, Spain (incl. Baleares), Italy (Sicily). Also from: Morocco and Tunisia.
Diagnosis. In most respects morphologically identical to the endemic Canarian species described below as Limnophora obsignatula sp. nov. Decisive differences are found in the shape of the male surstyli, compare Figs 8B, C and E, F. Limnophora obsignata differs in the male sex from L. obsignatula (Fig. 6A) by the near absence of brown pruinosity on the fronto-orbital and parafacial plates, and by the wider separation of the presutural black mesonotal marks covering the setulose median part of the acrostichal field, by the slightly narrower postsutural black band reaching only to the third pair of postsutural dorsocentral setae, and by the dirty whitish calypteres. Limnophora obsignata differs in the female sex by the narrower black mesonotal band not extended behind the level of the third pair of postsutural dorsocentral setae, and by the paired black abdominal marks on tergite IV being smaller, obtusely triangular and far separated from the preceding tergite.
Taxonomic note. The photos of the male terminalia (Figs 8A‒C) of a specimen from Portugal agree well with the drawings of the same parts of an Afrotropical male by Couri & Pont (2017).

description: Nitrogen and sulfur-containing compounds are the core components utilized for synthesis of different heterocyclic moieties. In this research, a series of new analogues containing thiazolidinone have been synthesized (1-20) in order to evaluate their activity against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. Potent analogues were further subjected for molecular docking in order to study their protein-ligand interactions. The highly active analogues were also subjected for DFT, which confirmed the binding properties, electrical properties, and nature with the targeted enzyme. ADMET analysis also confirms the druglikeness properties of the synthesized series. Analog 5 (IC50 = 1.2 ± 0.1 µM and 1.8 ± 0.2 µM) exhibit excellent inhibition in comparison with the standard drug donepezil in view of inhibiting Alzheimer’s disease.

description: This research paper explores the intersection of migrant justice activism, border imperialism, and creative research methodologies, focusing on the Mediterranean border crisis. Through an in-depth and creative analysis of activists’ narratives from the Alarm Phone, this research highlights how irregular migration is framed as a form of resistance against colonial and capitalist structures that perpetuate global inequalities. Drawing on Harsha Walia’s concept of Border Imperialism, the study critiques Europe’s militarized border policies, exposing the complicity of European states in migrant deaths. Using personal narratives and creative documentation, this research amplifies the voices of activists who challenge dehumanizing discourses about migration. Grounded in over a decade of migrant justice activism, this work incorporates artistic elements, presenting its findings through a collaborative exhibition that invites audiences to engage emotionally with the stories of activists from the Alarm Phone.

description: Macaronesian Limnophora: Habitat requirements and threats
Most species of Macaronesian Limnophora have aquatic larvae and most of them may be strongly dependent on habitats of streaming water for larval development. Own field observations in the western Canary Islands suggest that the following species are wholly dependent on the availability of unpolluted lotic waters for larval development: L. beckeri, L. bipunctata, L. flavitarsis, L. nitidithorax and L. riparia. Bodies of stagnant water such as open tanks for water storage may be accepted by some species, e.g. L. obsignatula and L. paneliusi. In La Gomera I found L. quaterna in large numbers in an old orchard where larval development probably took place in heaps of rotten fruit and vegetables. Habitat requirements are unknown for the Afrotropical and Oriental L. exigua found in the Cape Verde Islands.
As documented by Malmqvist et al. (1995), Nilsson et al. (1998), Crosskey & Báez (2004) and others, the many permanent natural streams that earlier characterized the western Canarian islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma have diminished radically, because most fresh water is now captured by damming high in the mountains and conveyed down in closed pipes in order to satisfy the needs of agriculture, urbanization and tourism. The magnitude of eradication of natural water courses in the islands is evident from Lüderitz et al. (2016) who stated that the number of permanent streams in Gran Canaria has decreased from 285 in 1933 to 20 in 1973, and they found only two(!) moderately intact streams in 2009. A similar detour in undisturbed streams may as well have taken place in Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma. As a consequence the invertebrate limnofauna of the Canary Islands is highly endangered. In respect to Limnophora, several species may face local or global extinction in a foreseeable future, unless targeted precautions are taken to protect and restore what is left of the perennial streams.

Neurisothrips Sakimura, 1967: 419. Type species Thrips multispinus Bagnall.
In describing this genus, and transferring to it all seven of the endemic thripids described from the Hawaiian Islands, Sakimura presented differences only in relation to the genus Thrips. However, that genus is now recognised as only distantly related and differing in several character states of the head and abdomen (Mound et al. 2016). Relationships of Neurisothrips have remained far from clear, and are not likely to be understood without molecular data. However, the genus seems most likely to have evolved from, or possibly shared a common ancestor with, Frankliniella, a genus that is particularly species-rich in the warmer parts of the American continent. The species placed in Neurisothrips share with members of Frankliniella the following character states: head with a pair of setae in front of the first ocellus; fore wing with two complete rows of veinal setae; tergite VIII with a ctenidium-like row of microtrichia antero-lateral to the spiracle. With very few exceptions the two genera also share the following conditions: metanotum weakly reticulate with both pairs of setae on the anterior margin; sternites without discal setae. In contrast to Frankliniella species the antennae of Neurisothrips species have seven (not eight) segments, there are no distinct ctenidia on any abdominal tergite, and the posterior margin of each tergite and sternite bears a well-developed craspedum.

description: Neurisothrips antennatus (Moulton, 1928)
(Figs 1, 11, 15, 24, 39, 48)
Described originally from a single male taken on Oahu, Mt Tantalus, many specimens of both sexes of this species have been studied from Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui and Oahu. These specimens were collected from the flowers of Acacia koa, Astelia, Broussasia, Cheirodendron, and Geranium, and there are published records from Metrosideros. Both sexes are brown with teneral individuals considerably paler, particularly the males. The pronotum bears many discal setae, and the posteroangular setae are exceptionally long (120 microns), but the pronotal anterior marginal setae are all little longer than the discal setae. The tergal lateral discal setae are numerous (Fig. 39), and similar in number to multispinus, but antennatus is distinguished by the elongate antennal segment III that has almost parallel sides (Fig. 1). The fore wing is uniformly brown except for the usual sub-circular pale “window” near the veinal fork.

description: Neurisothrips dubautiae (Moulton, 1928)
(Fig. 4)
Described from seven females and 10 males taken from a species of Asteraceae, Dubautia, on Mt Tantalus, Oahu, these individuals have ocellar setae III little more than 25 microns long, and the postocular setae even shorter. The body is uniformly pale yellow, the ocellar pigment is pale and scarcely red, antennal segments I–IV and base of V are yellow, and the major setae on the body and fore wings are pale, with the exception of the setae on tergites IX and X. In these colour states this species is similar to N. janis sp. n., but that has sternal discal setae in both sexes. Apart from the type series, the only other specimen studied of this species is a female from a second site on Oahu, Konahua, on Dubautia plantaginea. This female is closely similar to the types in colour and chaetotaxy but has ocellar setae pair III about 30 microns long. Tergites IV and V have a small group of about five lateral discal setae.

Described from a single female taken in a wind trap at Kipapa, Oahu, in October 1935, no significant details were given apart from colour: body brownish yellow, with fore wings having a brown band medially and at apex. No further specimens have been seen, and the species remains unique in the genus in having banded fore wings. Although brown in colour, it is similar to dubautiae in having unusually short setae on the head, with ocellar setae pair III 25 microns long, and postocular setae pair IV scarcely 15 microns. The abdomen of the holotype is shrunken, thus obscuring details, but there seem to be fewer setae laterally on the tergites than in some other members of this genus.

(Fig. 40)
Described from a single female taken in a wind trap on Oahu, Moulton pointed out the distinctive position of the metanotal median setae “16 microns back from anterior margin”. This character state was unique amongst the original seven species placed in Neurisothrips but was ignored by subsequent workers. Curiously, the metanotal median setae of saki sp. n. are also placed behind the anterior margin, but this condition is not known amongst other members of this genus. A further character state that is distinctive in carteri is the arrangement of the tergal discal setae in a single transverse row, and despite the uniformly yellow colour of the body and legs, antennal segments III–VII are sharply brown. This species is possibly associated with Acacia koa, and specimens taken from that tree having been studied from two sites in Hawaii and also from Kaui. Two males taken with females from Acacia koa at Volcano have large oval pore plates but only on sternites V–VII, although one of these males has a fragmented pore plate on sternite IV. Four females of a very similar species have been studied with the following data: Hawaii, Mauna Loa Trail, Styphelia leaves, 22.vii.2016. These females have the metanotal setae less than 10 microns back from anterior margin, and the tergal lateral discal setae are considerably smaller and weaker than in typical carteri.

(Fig. 9)
Described from four females and one male on Broussonetia in Oahu, this species has been recorded from Hawaii, Kauai, and Molokai. However, apart from the type series, the only specimen studied was from the leaves of Pipturus on Mt. Tantalus, Oahu, 23.ii.1943 (in BMNH). The fore wing colour seems to be diagnostic, with a pale area on the posterior half just distal to the clavus (Fig. 9). One pair of pronotal anteromarginal setae is as long as antennal segment III, about 45 microns long, and the posteroangulars are 80 microns long. The female cotype of multispinosus from Molokai is probably fullawayi but the fore wings are folded on the abdomen.
