description: Anemia is a common complication in patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (HDD-CKD). Anemia is principally the result of erythropoietin deficiency, inflammation, and iron deficiency. High molecular weight iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) are routinely administered intravenously to replace iron losses and, although effective, there are lingering concerns about possible safety issues. Ferric pyrophosphate citrate (FPC, Triferic*1, Triferic AVNU*) is a complex iron salt that donates iron directly to plasma transferrin. FPC is devoid of any carbohydrate moiety and is administered via the dialysate or intravenously during each hemodialysis session to replace iron and maintain hemoglobin. Controlled clinical trials of up to 48 weeks in duration have demonstrated the efficacy of regular administration of dialysate FPC for maintaining hemoglobin levels and iron balance in HDD-CKD patients. Clinical data also suggest that dialysate FPC may reduce the dose requirements for and use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and IONPs in HDD-CKD patients. Safety data from clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance show that FPC is well tolerated and not associated with an increased risk of infection, inflammation, iron overload, or serious hypersensitivity reactions. FPC represents an effective and well-tolerated choice for iron replacement and maintenance of hemoglobin in the long-term management of HDD-CKD patients.

description: This paper investigates the interaction of crop insurance and contracts in improving the risk management of farmers who produce bioenergy crops. Numerical simulation is conducted for 1,919 U.S. counties east of the 100th Meridian that have yield data for corn and for at least one bioenergy crop yield of miscanthus and switchgrass. County-level yield data, both on low quality land and high quality land, are simulated by using DayCent model, and Copula approach is used to estimate a joint yield-price distribution for each county. We model a representative farmers’ optimal choice problem of whether to use their land to grow conventional crops or to use their land for production of bioenergy crops under one of three different contract choices offered by the biorefinery. The terms of these contracts are determined in such a manner that they jointly maximize the net benefits of the refinery and farmers. We do this joint optimization in two scenarios: ‘With insurance’ and ‘Without insurance’ for bioenergy crops to see how presence of crop insurance for bioenergy crops will affect the optimal contract design and will affect land allocation under a certain contract type.

description: To assess the correlation between PFS2 and OS among patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) in a real-world setting for Japan. This was a retrospective analysis using the Japanese MDV database. Patients with nmCRPC (non-metastatic Castration-Resistant PC), mCRPC (metastatic Castration-Resistant PC), and mCNPC (metastatic Castration-Naïve PC) were identified and their medical records were investigated for PFS2 and death. Association between PFS2 and OS was determined using the Pearson’s, Spearman’s, Kendall's Tau, and Fleischers’ correlation coefficients. A total of 386,484 patients with PC were identified from the database, of which, 1,783 patients with nmCRPC, 630 with mCRPC, and 454 with mCNPC met the predefined eligibility criteria. Significant correlation between PFS2 and OS was observed in patients with nmCRPC (Pearson’s r = 0.873; 95% CI: 0.849 – 0.897, Spearman’s r = 0.909; 95% CI: 0.893 – 0.925; Kendall’s Tau r = 0.831; 95% CI: 0.812 – 0.850, Fleischers’ r = 0.682; 95% CI: 0.601 – 0.764), mCRPC (Pearson’s r = 0.812; 95% CI: 0.758 – 0.865, Spearman’s r = 0.895; 95% CI: 0.868 – 0.923, Kendall’s Tau r = 0.789; 95% CI: 0.755 – 0.823, Fleischers’ r= 0.439; 95% CI: 0.334 – 0.544), and mCNPC (Pearson’s r = 0.931; 95% CI: 0.899 – 0.964, Spearman’s r = 0.943; 95% CI: 0.922 – 0.964, Kendall’s Tau r = 0.866; 95% CI: 0.836 – 0.896, Fleischers’ r = 0.756; 95% CI: 0.624 – 0.888). The results of this study indicate a significant correlation between PFS2 and OS, which adds additional evidence to the existing literature of using PFS2 as a surrogate endpoint for OS in patients with PC.

Ragionando di catastrofi: due voci ‘minori’ dell’Illuminismo meridionale
Creators: name: Bottone, Alessio
Publisher: name: Griseldaonline
Year: 2022

description: La letteratura della catastrofe occupa un ruolo cruciale all’interno della cultura settecentesca dei Lumi, in particolare di quella dell’Italia meridionale. Fra i generi letterari impiegati dagli intellettuali vi è anche il dialogo, che due autori ‘minori’ come il calabrese Onofrio De Colaci (1746-1799) e il pugliese Francesco Antonio Astore (1742-1799) utilizzano per commentare rispettivamente il terremoto del 1783 e l’eruzione del Vesuvio del 1794. Entrambi, proprio attraverso la morfologia dialogica, offrono un’importante testimonianza della sensibilità illuministica di fronte ai disastri naturali, distinguendo tra vero e falso sapere, tra scienza e superstizione, tra primato delle cose e fantasie poetiche. Le due opere in questione, i Dialoghi intorno a’ tremuoti e i Dialoghi sul Vesuvio, costituiscono dunque un esempio significativo della possibilità e della necessità di indagare il pensiero dei Lumi nel Mezzogiorno con le lenti della critica letteraria.

«Ovviamente», il Medioevo? Note per una lettura metastorica de «Il nome della rosa» di Umberto Eco
Creators: name: Della Gala, Beniamino
Publisher: name: Griseldaonline
Year: 2022

description: Il saggio si propone di riflettere sulla scelta del Medioevo da parte di Umberto Eco per l’ambientazione de Il nome della rosa (1980). Se nelle Postille al romanzo pubblicate dall’autore nel 1983 questa scelta è raccontata come ovvia, vale invece la pena di concentrarvisi per inserirla nel suo contesto storico e culturale – quello di un ampio revival medievalista degli anni Settanta – e comprenderne dunque il significato in quanto nodo di una rete più ampia. Ragionando poi nello specifico su che genere di Medioevo venga rappresentato nel testo, e mettendolo in relazione con il periodo storico durante il quale Eco afferma di aver concepito il libro, si vede come ciò che sembra interessargli è il racconto dell’eterno ritorno delle dinamiche di potere, la definizione di archetipi del potere che costituiscano dei passepartout per l’interpretazione della realtà: la profondità storica pare cedere in una certa misura a un’ipotesi ‘metastorica’ volta a formulare un modello di scontro tra potere e contropotere nel cui mezzo soccombe chi cerca di indagarne lucidamente i meccanismi.

description: Using composting technology, the biodegradable fraction of solid wastes collected from Agbalepedogan district in Lomé (Togo) was transformed into composts with no phytotoxicity suitable for use in agriculture. The household urban solid wastes were mixed with poultry manure and Mucuna pruriens leaves in appropriate percentages and transformed into composts. The composting process was monitored by temperature, pH and C/N ratio controlling. The composts quality was appreciated by phytotoxicity test, particle size distribution, contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter and trace elements. The results showed that composts particle size distribution presented four fractions (>10 mm, 5-10 mm, 2-5 mm and ≤2 mm) whose average percentages are respectively 9.04±0.2%; 10.71±0.2%; 12.68±0.4% and 67.53±0.6%, respectively. Composts produced contained 1.02±0.1% - 2.72±0.2% of nitrogen, 1.35±0.3% - 2.70±0.4% of phosphorus, 1.31±0.2% - 1.72±0.3% of potassium and 23.50±0.4% - 37.75±0.5% of organic matter. The pH in final composts were between 8.50±0.2 and 9.00±0.3 while C/N ratio varying from 8.06±0.2 to 13.13±0.2. The concentrations of some heavy metals in final products were 79.8±1.7 - 140.2±1.6 mg/kg.dm of zinc, 27.1±1.01 - 76.6±1.03 mg/kg.dm of copper, 2.07±0.33 - 9.19±0.22 mg/kg.dm of lead, 4.13±0.16 - 11.05±0.36 mg/kg.dm of nickel and 0.79±0.02 - 2.15±0.03 mg/kg.dm of cadmium. These concentrations were lower than the limited value for heavy metals prescribed by French and US EPA regulation for organic and organic-mineral fertilizers.

description: A field experiment was conducted to identify the best adapted and high yielding lentil variety at Shishinda sub-testing site of Bonga Agricultural Research Center during 2012 main cropping season. The experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Eleven improved lentil varieties were used for this study. The varieties included in the study were Teshale, Alemaya, Alemtena, Assano, Gudo, EL-142, R-186, Ada’a, Derso, Chalew and Chekol. The parameters studied in this experiment were days to flowering and maturity, plant height, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, thousand seeds weight and grain yield. The analysis of the experiment showed significant (p<0.05) differences among varieties for all studied parameters. The varieties Assano, Alemtena, Derso, EL-142, and Gudo were found to be high yielder with the value of 1.71, 1.59, 1.39, 1.36 and 1.31 ton ha-1, respectively. In addition, farmers were invited to evaluate the performance of the tested varieties under field condition. Eventually, the farmers selected Assano and Alemtena as the most preferred varieties. Therefore, these varieties can be suggested to use for wider production in the study area. The involvement of farmers in variety selection processes may increases the adoption of new variety in the area.

description: Smallholder potato producers in Jeldu district produce potato for both home consumption and market. Adoption of improved varieties is suggested to improve and diversify farmers’ household income. This study intents to identify factors determining adoption and intensity of adoption of improved potato varieties in Jeldu district of West Shewa zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were used. The primary data were collected from 140 sample households’ selected using two-stage random sampling techniques. Descriptive statics and double hurdle econometric model were used to analyze the data. Results indicate that sex of the household head, access to extension services, livestock ownership and farmers’ perception about the technology positively and significantly determined adoption of improved varieties in the district. In contrast, distance from the nearest market affected adoption of improved potato varieties negatively and significantly. Intensity of adoption is measured by the area of land allocated for improved potato varieties by farmers. The truncated result identified improved varieties yield perception, family size, livestock ownership and membership to agricultural cooperative influenced intensity of improved potato varieties adoption positively and significantly. Strengthening extension services to enhance farmers’ awareness about improved potato varieties infrastructure development, family planning, asset ownership and facilitating membership to cooperatives are recommended.

description: The research was carried out with small indigenous fish species (SIS) named mola (Amblypharyngadan mola) in monoculture system to intensify production in farmers’ homestead ponds with 50% household women involvement during June to December, 2016. Brood mola was stocked at the rate of 2, 4 and 6 m-2 with three replications in each treatment. Supplementary feed (27.1% protein) consisted of commonly available agricultural by-products was provided daily at the rate of 2% of the total biomass along with natural feed as mola is planktivorous species. Seven different water quality parameters were measured fortnightly and found within cultivable range. Gross production of mola were obtained 520.59±23.4, 599.06±258.87, 1063.94±42.87 kg ha-1 from T1, T2 and T3, respectively after 4 months’ culture period. The yield of T3 was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than T1 and T2. The highest gross production was obtained in T3 where stocking density was 6 brood mola m-2.

description: The study examined the adoption of soybean products among women in Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Specifically, it described the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, identified the type of soybean products available in the area, determined the source of information of the soybean products, ascertained the level of adoption of soybean products and identified the major constraints to the adoption of soybean products in the area. Purposive and simple random methods were used to select 50 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and personal interview and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency distribution and mean scores. Findings show that 91.0% of the respondents were within the age range of 30-49 years, while the mean age of the farmers was 45.43 years. Extension agents (90.0%) and friends/relatives (80.0%) were the major source of information. Based on the level of adoption of soybean products, the farmers’ adopted only five soybean products, which included soymilk, soybean cake, soybean oil, soybean nut and soy flour. The major constraints against adoption of soybean product were poor extension service to assist farmers (x=3.7), lack of awareness of the soybean products (x=3.3) and lack of capital (x=3.3). In line with the findings, the study therefore recommends that extension agent needs to re-package and dynamically disseminate information, educate and re-educate farmers on several health benefit of soybean use in order to upgrade farmers’ awareness and subsequently their adoption.

description: A study was carried out to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of improved postharvest management practices (IPMP) in enhancing the eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) value chain of Bangladesh. In IPMP, sorting, grading and washing of eggplants were done, and packed them in plastic crates with or without modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Traditional postharvest management practices (TPMP) existed in the value chain was used as control treatment. IPMP including the use of plastic crate with MAP reduced weight losses by 26.7 and 38.0% at wholesale and 2-days display at retail outlets. The total postharvest loss of eggplant handled with TPMP including packed in jute sack was 40.0%, whereas it was only 4.5% when followed IPMP. The reduction of postharvest losses of eggplants handled with IPMP amounted to 88.7%, and 100.0% fruit could be sold at retail outlets. The additional weekly gross income of a small trader by selling 1000 kg eggplant handled with IPMP comprising the plastic crates with MA packaging would be BDT 17,190 (USD 207).

description: A rapid and non-destructive assessment of quality parameters in tomatoes was evaluated using a portable differential absorbance (DA) meter in order to accurately establish optimum harvest maturity. A commercial tomato variety cv. ‘BARI Tomato-8’ grown in the summer season of Bangladesh was used in this study. Different quality parameters including fruit skin colour, tissue firmness, chlorophyll contents, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity and pH of tomatoes were determined using standard reference methods. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the difference in absorbance index (IDA) and fruit quality parameters. The correlation coefficients showed good ability in estimating the hue angle, chlorophyll contents, titratable acidity and firmness of tomatoes showing ‘r’ values of 0.93, 0.91, 0.91 and 0.92-0.94, respectively. However, the changes of ascorbic acid contents and TSS of tomatoes did not follow the linear model during fruit maturation. Thus, the DA meter could most accurately predict the major quality attributes and may be used as an efficient technique for in-plant non-destructive assessment of tomato fruit qualities.

The following treatments were T1 = Spore suspension of T. harzanium added to around the roots of seedling, T2 = Dry neem leaves @100 g seedling-1, T3 = Furadan 5G @ 40 kg ha-1, T4 = Poultry litter @ 5 t ha-1, T5 = Mustard oil cake @ 800 kg ha-1, T6 = Furadan 5G + Dry neem leaves, T7 = Furadan 5G + Poultry litter, T8 = Furadan 5G + Mustard oil cake and T9 = Control were tested for their performance against the disease. Gall index ranged from 3.33-7.67. Significantly lower gall index (3.33) was recorded in treatment T7= Furadan 5G + Poultry litter and maximum gall index (7.67) was recorded in treatment T9= Control plot. The highest yield (24.97 t ha-1) was recorded in Furadan 5G + Poultry litter treated plot where are the lowest yield (7.53 t ha-1) was in Control plot. The incorporation of Poultry litter with Furadan 5G increased the efficiency of the treatment and gave satisfactory result to reduce root knot disease and to improve plant growth and yield of pointed gourd.

description: This study investigated the determinants of access to credit among cocoa farmers in Osun state, Nigeria. Specifically, the study described the socio-economic characteristics of cocoa farmers in the study area, examined the factors affecting access to credit by cocoa farmers in the study area; and identified the constraints faced by cocoa farmers in credit acquisition. The study was conducted in Osun state, south-western Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used for selecting respondents for this study. A total number of 180 farmers were selected for the study. Data were analyzed using Descriptive statistics and logit Regression. The results for the entire respondents showed average values of 46 years for age, 25 years for year of experience, 8 persons for household size, and about 88% of the respondents have formal education. Farm size (p<0.05), income (p<0.05) and years of schooling (p<0.05) show significant and positive effects on access to credit. On the other hand, gender (p<0.05), distance to credit source (p<0.1) and interest rate (p<0.01) are significant but have negative effects on access to credit by cocoa farmers in the study area. Majority (85.6%) of the cocoa farmers acknowledged lack of collateral security as a constraint in credit acquisition, while about 71.1 % acknowledged that high interest rate was a factor hindering credit acquisition. Other factors are acknowledged in the following order: Bureaucratic procedures 60.6%, lack of information about available credit sources 45%, mode of repayment 40%, no credit association 31.1% and non- membership of farmers’-based organization had 23.3%. Following the findings of the study, government, non-governmental agencies and financial institutions should provide cocoa farmers with adequate access to credit facilities and soft loans with low interest and without collateral security.

description: The imbalance between the crop production and population growth is currently the major issue in southern Ethiopia. To feed the growing population, increasing the production of food through growing more crop types in the same field as an intercropping is the right strategy. The current study was aimed at evaluating the effect of sorghum-legume intercropping and its residual effect on yield of sorghum. The land equivalent ratio was calculated for sorghum intercropped with pigeon pea and cowpea. Intercropping sorghum with pigeon pea and cowpea increases the land productivity as its Land Equivalent Ratio is greater than 1. In both cases, the land equivalent ratio is greater than 1 indicating the benefits of intercropping. The residual effect of sorghum intercrop with legumes was evaluated on the yield of sorghum. Although there was no statistically significance differences on yield and yield component of sorghum, sorghum planted on the plot of pigeon pea and cowpea sole has 44.6% and 27.8% yield advantage relative to sorghum alone respectively. Planting sorghum under sorghum-cowpea intercropped condition increase the yield of sorghum by 41.8%. The result also shows 74.0% sorghum yield change was observed when planted after intercropped condition of sorghum with pigeon pea. The productivity of sorghum also increases when planted on the plot of sole legume. The current finding in general shows that legume crops contributed to the yield of sorghum either intercropped with legume or grown up using residual contribution of legumes after a year. Therefore, for maximum sorghum production farmers in the area should plant either as intercrop or after residual effect of legumes.

description: This study was conducted to analyze the profitability of banana farming in some selected areas of Tangail district of Bangladesh during 2015. A total of 60 samples (16 small, 19 medium and 25 large farmers) were directly interviewed using a structured questionnaire for achieving the purpose. Apart from the descriptive analysis of the socio-economic variables of the selected respondents, the benefit-cost and functional profitability analysis of banana farming were also performed. The Cobb-Douglas production function was chosen to determine the effects of various inputs on the profitability of banana. The finding of cost-benefit analysis reveals that banana farming is a profitable activity in Bangladesh as the estimated cost of production was lower than the return in the selected study areas. However, the profitability differs among different farmers’ group and large farmers are more profitable in banana farming than small and medium farmers. In addition, the functional analysis identifies four inputs such as the cost of human labor, manure, fertilizer and irrigation as the significant determinants of profitability of banana farming in the study area. In this study, resource use efficiency was also measured to show the efficient resource allocation to attain the goal of profit maximization which showed that human labor, seedling, manure, fertilizer, insecticides, irrigation and bamboo has inefficient use of the resources, and farmers should limit the use of these inputs. The researcher suggested some recommendations to improve the present production situation so that banana farming could be more viable and attractive commercial enterprise.

description: The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of population densities of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on the growth and production of tilapia in monoculture system. Fish population density was 80 fish per decimal under treatment-I, 160 fish per decimal under treatment-II and 320 fish per decimal under treatment-III. In the ponds under three treatments supplementary feed was not used. The average initial length and weight of the fry of tilapia was 4.48 cm and 0.067 g, respectively. The ponds were fertilized fortnightly with urea and TSP at the rates of 60 g, and 90 g per decimal, respectively. Mean survival rates of fish under treatment-I, treatment-II and treatment-III were 91.12%, 82.82% and 66.23%, respectively. The specific growth rates (SGR, % per day) of fish under treatment-I, treatment-II and treatment-III were 5.49%, 4.95% and 4.61%, respectively. The calculated net fish production of the ponds under treatment-I was 2.65 ton ha-1 yr-1 and that of the ponds under treatment-II was 2.55 ton ha-1 yr-1 and that of the ponds under treatment-III was 2.68 ton ha-1 yr-1. The net fish production under treatment-I and treatment-III were 2.65 ton ha-1 yr-1 and 2.68 ton ha-1 yr-1 higher than that of treatment-II, taking net fish production under treatment-I for 100%. According to survival rates and specific growth rates treatment-I is the best. So, the population density of 80 fish per decimal (under treatment-I) might be considered the best among the three treatments.

Material examined
Holotype ♀ and paratype 1 ♂ juv. from IZ PAN with museum label ‘ Armenia: Elenovka, ad lacum Goktsha, 9.VI. leg. G. Horwath’ (Figure 1f, modern name Sevan Town on Sevan Lake) and original label ‘ Armenia ♀, ♂ juv. Bessarabia’ (Figure 1g); 1♂ 20 juv.

Marusik).
Note
Holotype ♀ (Armenia) and paratype subadult male (Bessarabia) are from very widely separated localities (ca. 1500 km).
Brief description
Holotype female. General appearance as in Figure 1a–b, h. Total length 3.0. Carapace 1.25 long, cephalic part 0.83 wide, thoracic part 0.95 wide. Leg length as shown in Table 1.
Epigyne as in Figure 1c–e.
Topotype male. General appearance as in Figure 2d, g–h. Total length 2.63. Carapace 1.25 long, cephalic part 0.63 wide, thoracic part 1.0 wide. Leg length as shown in Table 2.
Palp as in Figure 2a–c.
Comments
The endogyne of the holotype female of D. ignobilis is undistinguishable from that of D. arundinacea. The adult male specimen collected about 10 kilometres from the type locality has no distinct differences in the palp from that of D. arundinacea, and therefore the two names are synonymised here. The slight apparent differences between the male palps of specimens from Armenia (Figure 2a–c) and Yakutia (Figure 2d–e) are caused by different positions of the palps during photography.
Distribution
Dictyna arundinacea has a circum-Holarctic range and is known across the whole Palaearctic from Iceland to Kamchatka (Marusik et al. 2000), and throughout the Nearctic from Alaska (GenBank accession nos: KU874826, KU874827) to Newfoundland (Paquin et al. 2010). This species is also known from across the Caucasus, including Armenia (Otto 2022).

description: Introduction and Aims School refusal is an ongoing difficulty affecting 22.3% of young people in full-time UK education and has garnered national interest. Refusal is often underpinned by experiences of anxiety, and there are several possible functions for not attending school. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been widely used as an intervention to increase attendance. However, between a third and half of anxious school refusers show little or no response to CBT. In recent years, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been proposed as an alternative approach to several transdiagnostic difficulties. ACT aims to increase psychological flexibility (PF) and has been shown to be effective with young people experiencing mental health difficulties. This study aims to apply ACT to the problem of school refusal, looking at the role of psychological flexibility on the behavioural outcome of school attendance. Method A single case experimental design (SCED) was used with three young people from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) waiting lists. An ACT guided self-help intervention was administered with the aim of increasing psychological flexibility, whilst monitoring other outcomes such as anxiety (Anx) and subjective wellbeing (SWB). Results Visual analysis showed no observable or systematic change in PF, Anx, or SWB between baseline and intervention phases. All participants showed some increase in school attendance, despite small increases in PF. Only one young person increased attendance above the UK minimum threshold required. Suggestions around upscaling the study, increasing the evidence base for PF measures for young people, and how ACT could be administered were discussed

Material examined
Holotype ♀ of D. sibirica (ZISP), with museum label (Figure 3o): [Yakutia] ‘ Dolgulakh River, tributary of Yana River, 25–26.06/7– 8.07.1885 (Yana Expedition) ’. Syntypes 2♀ of D. s. simulans from Pederata and Kara Rivers with museum label ‘ northwestern Siberia’ (Figure 3h) and original label ‘ Dictyna sibirica var.? simulans, Syberya pn. z’.
Comments
Dictyna sibirica was previously known only from the original description. Although types of D. sibirica are housed in St. Petersburg, they had never been re-examined. Description of the species was based on an adult specimen from the upper reaches of Dolgulakh (Dulgulakh) River (tributary of Yana River in Yakutia) and a subadult female from Yana River. In the collections of the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg, there is a vial with ‘ Dictyna sibirica ’ on the label (Figure 3l), containing an adult male and another label in Russian (Figure 3n) with the note ‘1 spider was in jar without tube and label’ and cannot be considered a paratype. Dictyna sibirica was synonymised with D. hamifera Thorell, 1872 by Eskov (1985), although without any justification.
Unfortunately, the epigyne was accidentally lost during a photography session. Still, I can confirm that it had the same conformation as those illustrated by Marusik et al. (2006) and Oger (2022) for D. major, and therefore the two names D. sibirica sibirica and D. sibirica simulans are synonymised herein.
The epigyne of the syntypes of D. s. simulans (Figure 3a–b, d–e) is identical to that of D. s. sibirica and indistinguishable from that of D. major, and therefore these species are synonymised.
Note
This species is described in detail in numerous publications (see WSC 2022).
