Apion zikani Heller, 1922:52 (description). Blackwelder 1947:831 (catalogue); Costa-Lima 1956:126 (citation); D’Araujo e Silva et al. 1968:461 (catalogue); Wibmer and O’Brien 1986:44 (catalogue); De Sousa et al. 2019:15 (checklist).
Comment. It was not possible to obtain male syntypes; however, based on the brief diagnosis presented in the description, and the illustrations and biology (Heller 1922), together with detailed examination of female syntypes, this species is distinguished from P. zeppelinii by the smaller size (length 1.80 mm and maximum width 0.85 mm); brownish head, rostrum and antennae; scutellum subquadrate; and by association with Dalbergia spp. (Fabaceae). Males would be needed for a more complete description and better separation from P. zeppelinii.
Type material. We examined six syntypes, two deposited at MNRJ and four at CEIOC, with printed labels: “Cotype”, 2 females (MNRJ), 4 females (CEIOC), all syntypes glued on paper triangles, Apion zikani Heller, Para, Sor. Dario Mendes [det.], Passa Quatro Minas [Gerais], ex-collection J. F. Zikan. The syntypes examined at MNRJ were destroyed in the fire of September 2, 2019.
Non-type material examined. One female, glued on paper triangle, ex-collection J. F. Zikan, No. 9.616 I. O. C. Coleoptera, CEIOC 4224 (CEIOC).
Biology. Larvae and pupae of P. zikani develop in flower buds of Dalbergia foliolosa and Dalbergia glaucescens (Mart. ex Benth.) (Fabaceae) (Blackwelder 1947; Costa-Lima 1956; D’Araujo e Silva et al. 1968). The genus Dalbergia (Fabaceae) comprises about 40 species in Brazil, recorded from practically all ecosystems, mainly in the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Rainforest biomes and in rupestre (coastal dune) vegetation. Some species are economically important for their valuable wood, while others are considered endangered because of accelerated deforestation and habitat fragmentation in tropical forests (Mendes et al. 2012).

description: In speech emotion recognition (SER), using predefined features without considering their practical importance may lead to high dimensional datasets, including redundant and irrelevant information. Consequently, high-dimensional learning often results in decreasing model accuracy while increasing computational complexity. Our work underlines the importance of carefully considering and analyzing features in order to build efficient SER systems. We present a new supervised SER method based on an efficient feature engineering approach. We pay particular attention to the explainability of results to evaluate feature relevance and refine feature sets. This is performed iteratively through feature evaluation loop, using Shapley values to boost feature selection and improve overall framework performance. Our approach allows thus to balance the benefits between model performance and transparency. The proposed method outperforms human-level performance (HLP) and state-of-the-art machine learning methods in emotion recognition on the TESS dataset.

description: Chrysura baiocchii species-group diagnosis and discussion
During the examination of the material collected in Iran, we examined an outstanding undescribed species somehow related to the Chrysura genalis subgroup. This species probably belongs to a new genus, but considering the present chaotic situation regarding genera in the tribe Chrysidini, it is deemed better not to create a new genus, waiting for a modern taxonomic revision of all genera. Further information could be provided in the future, as a result of molecular analysis (Niehuis & Wägele 2004, Soon & Saarma 2011). Therefore we propose a new speciesgroup within the genus Chrysura. This species-group is mainly characterized by the unique modified structure of the internal metasomal segments, which form the ovipositor tube. The ovipositor resembles the one developed in the genera Stilbum Spinola and Spinolia Dahlbom. Sterna and terga S-V-VI and T-IV-V-VI are heavily sclerotized; T-V and S-V have a series of lateral ridges or partial annuli. Apically they are heavily sclerotized and sharp (Figs 5, 7). The shape of each internal segment is extremely modified, compared to the internal segments of species of the Chrysis radians group (e.g. Ch. genalis, Fig. 6), the most closely related species-group within the genus. The shape of the T-V apparently looks different between the drawing (Fig. 5) and the SEM picture (Fig. 7); this difference is given by a thin and transparent membrane, almost invisible under the biological microscope, but visible through the electron scanning microscope. External morphological and diagnostic characters are (in order of importance): habitus subcylindrical; T-III elongated and strongly arched along the anal margin, modified by the presence of the highly sclerotized ovipositor; punctuation on the body deep to evidently deep (as in many African chrysidids); pronotum longitudinally longer (l/w: 4,4) than in most Chrysura species; metanotum simple; propodeum very narrow compared with its maximum width (taken in dorsal view between the sides of mesoscutum; l/w: 1.1); head and mesosoma with short whitish hairs; subantennal distance very short (1 MOD). Other characters match the diagnosis of the genus Chrysura.

Parahellenia candida

description: Parahellenia candida (Škorničk., Böhmová & H.Ð.Trẫn) N.H.Xia & Juan Chen, comb. nov.
Basionym:— Cheilocostus candidus Leong-Škorničková, Böhmová & Trẫn (2022: 105).
Type:— VIETNAM. Lam Dong Province (cultivated in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore), collected from cultivation on 21 September 2021, Leong-Škorničková GRC-421 (holotype SING; isotypes E, P, SGN).
Phenology:—Flowering in the natural habitat was observed in June; in cultivation, it extends to October; fruiting unknown.
Distribution, habitat and conservation:—Endemic to Vietnam, occurring near rocky streams in lowland broadleaved evergreen forest, at elevations about 200– 300 m. According to Leong-Škorničková et al. (2022), there is no reliable information on the population sizes or distribution of this species. It was therefore treated as Data Deficient (IUCN 2012).
Notes:— Parahellenia candida is characterized by unbranched or barely branched stems, radical inflorescence, long and narrow floral tube fused with the style base more than halfway (assessed from Fig. 2 in Leong-Škorničková et al. 2022) and bilamellate stigma. With these features, this species fits well the concept of the genus Parahellenia.
Parahellenia candida is very similar to P. tonkinensis in producing the inflorescence radically, obovate to elliptic leaf blades and bract apex with a sharp mucro, but can be distinguished easily from the latter by its unbranched or barely branched leafy shoots, densely puberulent leaf sheaths, densely puberulous abaxial side of leaf blade and white flowers (Leong-Škorničková et al. 2022).

description: Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) constitute a critical area of research in the study of Large Language Models (LLMs). Previous works have investigated the selection bias problem in MCQs within few-shot scenarios, in which the LLM's performance may be influenced by the presentation of answer choices, leaving the selection bias during Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) unexplored. In this paper, we reveal that selection bias persists in the SFT phase , primarily due to the LLM's inadequate Multiple Choice Symbol Binding (MCSB) ability. This limitation implies that the model struggles to associate the answer options with their corresponding symbols (e.g., A/B/C/D) effectively. To enhance the model's MCSB capability, we first incorporate option contents into the loss function and subsequently adjust the weights of the option symbols and contents, guiding the model to understand the option content of the current symbol. Based on this, we introduce an efficient SFT algorithm for MCQs, termed Point-wise Intelligent Feedback (PIF). PIF constructs negative instances by randomly combining the incorrect option contents with all candidate symbols, and proposes a point-wise loss to provide feedback on these negative samples into LLMs. Our experimental results demonstrate that PIF significantly reduces the model's selection bias by improving its MCSB capability. Remarkably, PIF exhibits a substantial enhancement in the accuracy for MCQs.

description: Xizicus (Eoxizicus) hsiehi sp. nov. (Fig. 1)
Description. Male. Body small for the tribe Meconematini. Fastigium verticis conical, blunt apically and grooved dorsally. Eyes ovoid.
Pronotum (Fig. 1A, B) rather short, anterior margin straight, posterior margin obtusely rounded, slightly projecting posteriorly; lateral lobe of pronotum longer than deep; humeral sinus shallow.
Femora unarmed on ventral surface. Fore coxae with a short spine, fore tibiae with 6 long spines on both margins of ventral surface, tympanal organs open on both sides. Middle tibiae with 5–6 long spines on internal and external sides of ventral surface. Genicular lobes of hind femora with apices obtuse; hind tibiae with 26–30 spines on both margins of dorsal surface, bearing one pair of dorsal apical spurs and two pairs of ventral apical spurs.
Tegmina narrow and elongate, surpassing apices of hind femora, apices obtusely rounded; hind wings slightly longer than tegmina.
Posterior margin of 10th abdominal tergite with a pair of elongate spikes. Cerci elongate (Fig. 1 C–G), moderately incurved; basal area stout, basal half lamellate extending dorsally; apical half slightly narrow, dorsal margin with a long lamellate process, apically acute, depressed and obtusely rounded apically. Subgenital plate trapezoidal, basal area slightly broad, while apical area gently narrowing. Styli inserted on the apico-lateral margins of subgenital plate.
Coloration. Body light yellowish brown, probably green when alive. Eyes brown. Dorsal area of head with a pair of longitudinal brown stripes (Fig. 1A, B), these extending onto disc of pronotum. Genicular lobes of hind femora with apices black brown, dorsal spines of hind tibiae with apices black brown.
Female. Unknown.
Type material. Holotype: male, Taoyuan, Taiwan, 4 September, 2016, coll. Tien Hsieh.
Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 11.0; pronotum: ♂ 4.0; tegmina: ♂ 14.5; hind femora: ♂ 11.0.
Discussion. The male cerci of the new species are similar to those of Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) gurneyi Tinkham, 1944, but can be distinguished by the pair of spike-like processes on posterior margin of 10th abdominal tergite.
Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the collector’s last name to thank him for collecting the specimen.

description: Xizicus (Eoxizicus) bimaculus sp. nov. (Fig. 3)
Description. Male. Appearance of this new species is similar to the known species of the subgenus. Posterior margin of 10th abdominal tergite with one pair of short tuberculate posterior processes (Fig. 3 C–F). Basal area of cercus cylindrical and stout; middle area with a concavity; apical half slender, bent internally and dorsally, apex obtusely rounded. Subgenital plate nearly bowl-shaped, apical slight narrow; styli slightly slender, inserted on the apico-lateral margins of subgenital plate.
Coloration. Body light yellowish brown, probably green when alive. Eyes brown. Posterior margin of disc of pronotum with one pair of dark brown stripes. Genicular lobes of hind femora with apices black, spines of hind tibiae black brown.
Female. Unknown.
Type material. Holotype: male, Taoyuan, Taiwan, 4 September, 2016, coll. Tien Hsieh. Paratype: 1♂, the other data as holotype.
Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 11.0–11.2; pronotum: ♂ 4.1–4.2; tegmina: ♂ 20.5–21.0; hind femora: ♂ 10.5– 10.8.
Discussion. The new species Xizicus (Eoxizicus) bimaculus sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from other known species of the genus by the following: odd shape of male cercus and brown longitudinal stripes on disc of pronotum.
Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from one pair of black brown stripes on posterior area of disc of pronotum. Latin “ bi- ” means one pair, and Latin “ macul ” means spot.
