Aleochara

description: Genus Aleochara Gravenhorst, 1802
A detailed description was provided by Klimaszewski (1984) and a short description by Yamamoto & Maruyama (2012). See Klimaszewski (1984) and Gouix & Klimaszewski (2007) for synonymic information and references.
Remarks. A phylogenetic study of the entire genus, using the molecular markers COI and COII, was conducted by Maus et al. (2001), supporting the monophyly of the genus.
Most of the type specimens in BMNH were already examined by some researchers. Unfortunately, many of the type specimens of the subgenera Aleochara and Xenochara were treated and dissected inadequately: for example, in many cases, whole specimens were soaked in KOH and were modified in shape and color, and the glued boards, which were important vouchers for judging the age of specimens, were replaced with new ones.

description: Across two studies, we tested whether evaluations of sexual misconduct allegations against male politicians are made in a partisan biased manner. First, we investigated the likelihood a sexual misconduct allegation made by a female staffer was perceived as legitimate by Democratic and Republican participants when the accused politician’s party affiliation was aligned (versus unaligned) with the participant’s own affiliation (Study 1). We also tested whether partisan bias was conditional on the strength of the participant’s expressive partisanship (Study 2). In Study 1, 182 Democratic and 159 Republican affiliates (N = 341), recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk, were randomly allocated to one of three conditions (Democratic, Republican, or unaffiliated accused politician). Findings indicated that Republican participants were less likely than Democrats to perceive a sexual misconduct allegation as legitimate, irrespective of the politician’s party affiliation. Nonetheless, participants were not more likely to perceive a sexual misconduct allegation against an unaligned politician as more legitimate than against a politician of their own party. However, in a replication of Study 1 with a larger sample (301 Democratic and 301 Republican affiliates), Republicans (but not Democrats) demonstrated partisan bias in judgements of the legitimacy of misconduct allegations. Expressive partisanship did not moderate this partisan effect.

See Klimaszewski (1984), Klimaszewski & Jansen (1993), Gouix & Klimaszewski (2007), Assing (2009), and Park & Ahn (2010) for further synonymic and taxonomic information.
Diagnosis. The subgenus Xenochara is not fully defined but can be distinguished from the other congeneric taxa by the combination of following character states (see Klimaszewski, 1984; Park & Ahn, 2010b): body compact, densely pubescent, spindle-shaped; antennomere IV usually elongate or at most only slightly transverse; pronotum evenly pubescent; mesoventrite rather, completely or almost completely carinate along midline; median lobe of aedeagus of male with projecting flagellum inside, at least 1/4 as long as median lobe; female spermatheca without coils basally, but sometimes deformed basally.
Comments. Assing (2009) recently revised the subgenus Xenochara, proposing three subgeneric synonymies: Dyschara, Ophiochara, and Euryodma. The subgenus is probably by far the most speciose subgenus of the genus Aleochara, with Palearctic examples alone including 106 species (Assing, 2009). In Japan, seven species of Xenochara are known (Shibata et al., 2013).

description: Genus Paraleochara Cameron, 1920
(Figs 9, 18, 27, 36, 44, 100–106, 119, 128)
Paraleochara Cameron, 1920: 275 (original description); Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926: 798 (catalogue of world species of Aleocharinae); Cameron, 1939: 623 (in key to British Indian genera of tribe Aleocharini), 662 (redescription), plate III (habitus figured).
Type species: Paraleochara fungivora Cameron, 1920: 276 (= Aleochara translata Walker, 1859), by original designation and monotypy.
Non-type material of the type species. P. fungivora: 1 unsexed, “ MALAY PENIN: / PAHANG, F.M.S. / Fraser’s Hill / HOUD’ / 19- 5- 1932 [HW: ‘Fraser’s Hill’, ‘HOUD’, ‘19- 5-’, only ‘[193] 2’.] // H. M. Pendlebury / F. M. S. / Museums. [US] // Paraleochara / fungivora / Cam. [HW] // Chicago Nat. Hist. Mus / (ex M. Cameron Colln. / by exchange with / Brit. Mus. Nat. Hist.)” (FMNH).
Diagnosis. Paraleochara can be distinguished and characterized from the other genera within the tribe Aleocharini as follows: body medium sized, pubescent, and strongly glossy; ligula elongate, somewhat acute apically; carina on each side of ventral side of head absent; each elytron with posterolateral corners not sinuate; legs long and slender, with 5-5-5 tarsal formula; intercoxal process of mesoventrite very short and wide, with broadly truncate posterior margin; intercoxal process of metaventrite exceptionally long, much longer than that of mesoventrite; female spermatheca with large spherical head, fused with its neck.
See Cameron (1920, 1939) and Park & Ahn (2010a) for further taxonomic information and references. Mouthpart characters of P. fungivora (as Paraleochara translata), the type species of the genus, have been described in detail (Sawada, 1982).
Comments. This genus includes only the type species from the Oriental region [Sri Lanka, Singapore, Borneo, Sulawesi, New Guinea (Pace, 2014); the Malay Peninsula (present study)] but we found another species from East Asia, discussed below. Paraleochara belongs to the Tetrasticta generic group, which consists of eight genera (see Maruyama, 2004b; Maruyama et al., 2011).

Material examined. Holotype and two paratypes.
Holotype: Vic. Strzelecki Ranges, Tarra-Bulga NP, Bulga Picnic Area, 38°25'30''S, 146°34'20''E, pitfall traps from Nothofagus cunninghamii forest, 16 July–10 September 1996, leg. G. Milledge; one paratype: Vic. Strzelecki Ranges, Tarra-Bulga NP, 0.5 km NNE of Tarra Valley Picnic Area, 38°26'40''S, 146°32'30''E, pitfall traps from Nothofagus cunninghamii forest, 14 September–14 November 1995, leg. G.

Etymology. The prefix para is Latin meaning “near” and refers to the similarity of the new species to Oribotritia contraria Niedbała, 1993 from New Zealand.
Comparison. The new species is similar to O. contraria in the presence of a single lateral carinae of prodorsum and similar prodorsal and notogastral setae. It is easily distinguishable by the presence of two anal setae (versus one pair of setae) and long ad 3 setae and minute ad 1 and ad 2 setae (versus all adanal setae short, similar in length).

Etymology. The specific epithet lunatus is Latin for “crescent-shaped” and alludes to the shape of sensilli.
Comparison. The new species may be differentiated from its congeners first of all by the crescent-shaped sensilli and presence of two pairs of lyrifissures im and ip. Slightly similar Austrophthiracarus radiatus Balogh et Mahunka, 1978 has fusiform shape of sensilli, distinct sigillar fields of prodorsum, much more notogastral setae (27–31 pairs) and presence of lyrifissures ia and im.

Measurements of selected specimens: (1): prodorsum: length 394, height 182; notogaster: length 838, height 566; (2): length 308, height 111; notogaster: length 566, height 353.
Material examined. Vic. Errinundra Plateau, 37o16’S, 148o53’E, Goonmirk Roks Rd. Podocarp litter, NMY Survey, November 1982 (6 specimens).
Remarks. The specimens from Goonmirk have the same characters as the holotype, but the notogastral setae are longer than in specimens from Tasmania (Niedbała 2006). Setae c 1 are slightly more remote from anterior margin. Furthermore some specimens have more notogastral setae (19 or 20) and more adanal setae (six pairs) (Fig. 8B).

description: The RSA algorithm is a fundamental component of secure communication, relying on the computational complexity of factoring large integers into primes. However, Shor’s algorithm proposes that quantum computers could theoretically find these prime factors with exponential speedup, even for large integers. Despite this potential, current quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking RSA. Today’s Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, which are accessible for experimentation through IBM’s cloud-based platform, enable researchers to test algorithms and investigate the potential quantum advantage given the existing capabilities of quantum computers. This thesis explores a hybrid quantum-classical approach that uses quantum computing for the computationally expensive parts of the problem and a classical optimizer. This study employed IBM’s quantum simulator and real quantum computer to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach. The quantum simulator successfully factorized the number 1048561, while the real quantum computer factorized the number 253.
description: Der RSA-Algorithmus ist ein grundlegender Bestandteil der sicheren Kommunikation, da er sich auf die Komplexität der Faktorisierung großer ganzer Zahlen in Primzahlen stützt. Der Algorithmus von Shor schlägt jedoch vor, dass Quantencomputer diese Primfaktoren theoretisch mit exponentieller Beschleunigung finden könnten, selbst für große ganze Zahlen. Trotz dieses Potenzials sind aktuelle Quantencomputer noch nicht in der Lage, RSA zu knacken. Die heutigen Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ)-Geräte, die über die Cloud-basierte Plattform von IBM für Experimente zugänglich sind, ermöglichen es Forschern, Algorithmen zu testen und den potenziellen Quantenvorteil angesichts der vorhandenen Fähigkeiten von Quantencomputern zu untersuchen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein hybrider quantenklassischer Ansatz untersucht, der Quantencomputer für die rechenintensiven Teile des Problems und einen klassischen Optimierer verwendet. In dieser Studie wurden der Quantensimulator von IBM und ein echter Quantencomputer eingesetzt, um die Wirksamkeit des Ansatzes zu bewerten. Der Quantensimulator faktorisierte erfolgreich die Zahl 1048561, während der reale Quantencomputer die Zahl 253 faktorisierte.

Introduction
Gobius vagina was described by Bloch and Schneider (1801) from a single specimen collected in Tranquebar, India. The original description was brief, but stated that an ovalshaped opening was present on the dorsal edge of the operculum. Because of this unusual, pouch-like structure at the dorsal margin of the operculum, Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes (1837) erected the genus Trypauchen [from the Greek trypa (hole) and auchen (neck)] for Gobius vagina. The function of the opercular pouch is not known, but this structure is only found in the following genera of Amblyopinae: Amblyotrypauchen, Ctenotrypauchen, Trypauchen, and Trypauchenichthys.
Trypauchen vagina is locally abundant in certain regions and is even used as a food source (Rainboth, 1996), but it has been little studied. However, records and brief descriptions of T. vagina are numerous: India (Day, 1878; Hora, 1924); Thailand (Fowler, 1935; H.M. Smith, 1945); Singapore (Larson and Lim, 2005); Mekong River (Rainboth, 1996); various parts of Indonesia (Bleeker, 1860; Kottelat et al., 1993); China (Richardson, 1844; Günther, 1861; Rendahl, 1924; Herre, 1927); and Taiwan (Chen and Fang, 1999).
In addition to T. vagina, four other species were described and assigned to Trypauchen: T. microcephalus Bleeker, 1860; T. raha Popta, 1922; T. taenia Koumans, 1953; and T. wakae Jordan & Snyder, 1901. All were described from Indonesian specimens, except for T. wakae, which was described from Japan.
In his major work on the gobioid fishes of the Indo-Australian Archipelago, Koumans (1953) provided the only systematic review of Trypauchen to date. Koumans (1953) included T. raha, T. taenia, and T. vagina in his treatment of Trypauchen. Trypauchen wakae was likely excluded because it was only known from Japan and T. microcephalus was placed in Ctenotrypauchen by Koumans. Koumans (1953) separated the three species of Trypauchen by numbers of longitudinal and transverse scale rows. However, based on examination of the types and/or images of the types, differences in pelvic fin structure, scalation, and osteology between T. vagina and its putative congeners are evident. Consequently, I propose herein a new diagnosis for Trypauchen and that Trypauchen comprises only two species: T. vagina and an undescribed species from Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.

Aleocharidae Fleming, 1821: 49 (type genus: Aleochara Gravenhorst, 1802) Piochardiae Fenyes, 1918: 20 (type genus: Piochardia Heyden, 1870)
Diagnosis. The subtribe is distinguished by the following characteristics: 5-5-5 tarsal formula (4-5- 5 in Tinotus Sharp, 1833) (Hanley, 2002; Klimaszewski et al., 2002); maxillary palpus 4-segmented, plus apical pseudosegment (looks 5-segmented); labial palpus 3-segmented, plus apical pseudosegment (looks 4-segmented); ligula bilobed apically, shorter than the segment I of the labial palpus; lateral projections of labial apodeme elongated (Maruyama, 2004); median lobe of the aedeagus without dorsal apodeme (Maruyama, 2004); at least some species have a reticulated velum on the paramerite of the male aedeagus (Seevers, 1978; Ashe & Maus, 1998).
Comments. This subtribe is composed of 21 genera and is distributed throughout all zoogeographic regions. The subtribe Aleocharina is easily distinguished from the other two subtribes comprised of termitophiles, namely Compactopediina Kistner, 1970, and Hodoxenina Kistner, 1970, in the tribe Aleocharini, by a rather generalized body shape (with some exceptions). Recently, however, a myrmecoid genus of the subtribe Aleocharina, Myrmecostica Maruyama, 2011, was described from Borneo (Maruyama et al., 2011).
The phylogenetic relationships within the subtribe remain uncertain. The phylogenetic concept of this subtribe is very unstable due to uncertain limits of the genus Aleochara and related taxa (Ashe & Maus, 1998). The monophyly of Aleocharina is still not established (Ashe & Maus, 1998), and no autapomorphy has been detected for it. Kanao et al. (2011) showed that Compactopediina belongs to the Tetrasticta Kraatz, 1857 genus group of Aleocharina (sensu Maruyama, 2004a) and suggested non-monophyly of Aleocharina.
In Japan, 5 genera, 6 subgenera (all subgenera belong to Aleochara), and 27 species of this subtribe have hitherto been recorded.

See, Klimaszewski (1984), Smetana (2004) and Gouix & Klimaszewski (2007) for further synonymic information.
Redescription. Body: small to large, medium to large in many cases; overall shape diverse, normally more or less broad: compact and robust, more or less fusiform or cylindrical and rarely slender and narrow (Ashe & Maus, 1998). Colour: uniformly reddish brown to black in most cases, sometimes elytra lighter or with maculations. Head: head capsule somewhat circular to more or less transverse. Antennae: 11-segmented, scape somewhat clavated, normally longer or as long as pedicel (Klimaszewski, 1984). Mouthparts: lacinia wide, multispinose; galea wide, as long as lacinia (Klimaszewski, 1984). Thorax: mesoventrite variable, without carina to with complete carina. Legs: normally medium length; mesocoxae narrowly separated, with long process of mesoventrite. Abdomen: simple and normally fusiform; tergite of segments III–V impressed transversely at base. Genitalia: median lobe of aedeagus in male, usually with flagellum inside. Spermatheca of female, which are differently modified in different subgenera (Klimaszewski & Jansen, 1993), but with some exceptions. Detail descriptions are in Klimaszewski (1984).
Comments. Adults predate upon eggs, larvae, and puparia of flies; most known larvae are internal parasitoids of cyclorrhaphous flies (Peschke & Fuldner, 1977; Seevers, 1978; Klimaszewski, 1984; Maus et al., 1998ab, 2001; Yamazaki, 2008, 2012). Thus, Aleochara species are considered economically important as host agents. In contrast to the accumulation of ecological knowledge for some particular species, the taxonomy at the subgeneric level and the evolution and phylogeny of this group are poorly known.
Studies of Japanese species of Aleochara are also still incomplete and only 22 species in 6 subgenera have been recorded. Revisions of each subgenus for the Japanese species are also required.
