Anaceratagallia frisia

description: 8. Anaceratagallia (Anaceratagallia) frisia (Wagner, 1939)
Figs. 3, 183–188
Description. Only two males from Central Iran (Yazd) were investigated. Penis in side view almost as in A. (A.) laevis but slightly more slender (Figs. 183, 185, 187). Unlike all other members of A. (A.) laevis species group, male anal collar appendage narrow, spine-like (Figs. 184, 186, 188).
Biology. On saline land in dunes (Wagner, 1939), in olive yards, citrus orchards, and on different crops (Thanou et al., 2018).
Calling signal. Unknown.
Distribution. Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Iran.
Remarks. The male genitalia of this species are distinctive in shape. Until recently it was known only from Germany and the Netherlands. However, an ecological relationship with saline lands suggests that it is much more widespread, especially in the southern regions of the Palaearctics which is evidenced by its recent discovery in Greece (Thanou et al., 2018) and Iran (our data).

description: 9. Anaceratagallia (Anaceratagallia) ribauti (Ossiannilsson, 1938)
Figs. 191–193, 204–213
Anaceratagallia (Anaceratagallia) lithuanica Vilbaste, 1974: 150–151. Syn. n.
Description. Penis narrow, with denticulate ventral margin in basal part or in middle, parallel-sided throughout almost its entire length, slightly expanded only at transition to base (Figs. 204, 206, 208, 210). Male anal collar appendage with bifurcate tip (Figs. 205, 209, 211); sometimes one denticle reduced (Fig. 207).
Biology. In Moscow Oblast was collected on dry meadows and glades.
Calling signal. Signals of two males from Moscow Oblast (Serpukhov Region, environs of Luzhki Village, dry meadow with xerophytic vegetation on the bank of Oka River, 31. VII. 1993, recording at 23 oC) were investigated.
Calling signal consists of phrases lasting for 7–10 s (Fig. 191). Each phrase includes two parts differing in syllable pattern and repetition period (Figs. 192–193).
Distribution. All of Europe, Turkey (Istanbul), Central and Southern European Russia, Crimea, Northern Caucasus (Black Sea Coast, North Ossetia), Transcaucasia (Georgia, Azerbaijan), Southern Urals.
Remarks. The drawings of A. (A.) lithuanica Vilbaste, 1974 by Vilbaste (1974) (reproduced as Figs. 212–213) exactly match our specimens from different regions of Europe and the drawings of A. (A.) ribauti in Ossiannilsson (1981). According to the original description, A. (A.) lithuanica differs from the closely related A. (A.) ribauti by the more slender penis with basal part of stem not broadened (Vilbaste, 1974: 150). In fact, it is precisely in these traits that A. (A.) ribauti differs from A. (A.) fragariae Mityaev, 1971. Since A. (A.) fragariae was described from Kazakhstan, it was difficult to assume that it can be found in Europe. For this reason, Vilbaste, apparently erroneously, considered A. (A.) fragariae as A. (A.) ribauti and described true A. (A.) ribauti as A. (A.) lithuanica.

description: 10. Anaceratagallia (Anaceratagallia) fragariae Mityaev, 1971
Figs. 194–198, 214–227
Description. In shape of male genitalia similar to A. (A.) ribauti, but penis stem somewhat wider, usually expanded basally, sometimes with small preapical tooth on dorsal margin (Figs. 216, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226). Male anal collar appendage with bifurcate tip (Figs. 217, 219, 221, 223, 227), occasionally, with one denticle reduced (Fig. 225); different variations can be found in males from the same sample.
Biology. In Moscow Oblast was collected on dry meadow with sparse xerophytic vegetation; in the laboratory, one male lived for several days and produced signals on Rumex acetosella. In Southern Kazakhstan it was abundant on polydominant meadows in the foothills of Zailiysky Alatau Mtn. Range. In southeastern Kazakhstan it was found on a rather mesophytic meadow on the riverbank.
Calling signal. Signals of males from the following localities were investigated.
1. Moscow Oblast, Voskresensk Region, dry meadow with xerophytic vegetation on the Western edge of Beloozerskiy Town, on Rumex acetosella, 1. VII. 2018, signals of one male recorded at 27 oC.
2. Southeastern Kazakhstan near the Eastern Balkhash Lake, meadow on the bank of the Lepsy River ca. 1 km upstream from the Lepsy Town, 27. VI. 2019, signals of one male recorded at 33 oC.
Calling signal is a complex phrase lasting for 10–20 s (Figs. 194–198). It begins with a succession of pulses or syllables variable both in shape and repetition period. Immediately afterward is a short (ca. 1.5–3 s) succession of more uniform syllables following each other at a rate of about 13–16/s in our recordings. After a pause lasting from 1.5–2 up to 5–10 s one more such succession follows. Signals of males from Moscow Oblast (Figs. 194–195, 197) and Kazakhstan (Figs. 196, 198) have no significant differences.
Distribution. Ukraine (Poltava, Donetsk), Central and Southern European Russia, South Urals (Bashkiria), Kazakhstan, China (Xinjiang).
Remarks. A. (A.) fragariae and A. (A.) ribauti are very similar in morphological traits and in ecological preferences. Moreover, in European Russia they are sympatric, although they were never found in the same biotope. Still, distinct differences in calling signal patterns indicate that these are different biological species.
Viraktamath et al. (2012) recorded A. (A.) ribauti from China, but judging the drawings in their article (reproduced as Figs. 214–215) this record refers to A. (A.) fragariae.

description: 12. Anaceratagallia (Anaceratagallia) seriphidii (Emelyanov, 1964)
Figs. 239–240
Description. Only the holotype, male, with the labels “ 40 km South of Zhana-Arka St.[Railway Station], Karaganda Obl[ast] [Kazakhstan]. 16.IX.[19]60. Emelyanov” (handwritten, in Russian, our comments in square brackets) and “ Holotypus Agallia seriphidii Emelyanov ” (on red paper, first word printed, species name and author handwritten), deposited in Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg was investigated.
Penis in side view with serrated ventral crest in basal half and slightly concave dorsal margin (Fig. 239). Male anal collar appendage narrow, bent upwards, with pointed tip (Fig. 240).
The genital block was dissected into separate parts; the part that we consider to be male anal collar appendage is shown on Fig. 240. The shape of anal collar appendage on the drawing in the original description is different although the shape of the penis is exactly the same, as on Fig. 239. Drawings of this species by Mityaev (1971) do not clarify the situation, since they are reproduced from the original description.
Biology. On Artemisia (subg. Seriphidium). Hibernates at the egg stage and reaches 3 rd– 4 th instar by the end of June. In July–August, when host plants wither, the development of nymphs temporarily stops and resumes in the end of August. Adult specimens emerge in September (Emelyanov, pers. comm.).
Calling signal. Unknown.
Distribution. Central and Eastern Kazakhstan.

Figs. 241–245
Description. Only one series of specimens from Northern Caucasus (North Ossetia, the Ardon River Basin, SadonUnal Depression) was investigated. Penis in side view with straight or slightly convex serrated ventral crest in basal two-thirds and with dorsal margin strongly expanded in basal half (Figs. 241–242). Male anal collar appendage bifurcate, with dorsal angle pointing up and ventral angle directed back (Figs. 243–245).
Biology. Collected in mountainous-xerophyte plant community in arid depression on southern slopes of Skalisty Mtn. Range.
Calling signal. Unknown.
Distribution. Italy, Greece, Turkey (Zakhvatkin, 1946), Northern Caucasus (North Ossetia). The records from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia by Logvinenko (1984), Mityaev (1971), and Dubovskiy (1966) in fact belong to A. (A.) laevis.
Remarks. Mountainous-xerophyte plant communities are typical of arid regions of Transcaucasia and the Mediterranean. Thus, the occurence of this species in similar biotopes North of the Great Caucasus Mtn. Range is quite natural.

title: Investigation of iron-based spin crossover complexes and cocrystals.
Creators: name: Raja, Amber Tahira
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: Spin Crossover (SCO) is the phenomenon in which transition metals with d4–d7 configurations can switch between the high and low spin states. The change in spin state can be promoted by external stimuli, such as a change in temperature, light irradiation, pressure, magnetic field, or guest molecules. Recently, cocrystallisation has been used to form new SCO materials, SCO-cocrystals. In this study, the synthesis of a neutral heteroleptic Fe(III) material 2,2-dihydroxyazobenzene and 5-X-2-8- quinolyliminomethylphenolate (X= F, Cl, Br, and I) via ligand exchange was attempted, although this was not synthetically achievable. However, four [Fe(qsal-X)2]BF4 structures, including one of which was novel, were successfully synthesised. F, Cl and Br analogues are known in literature, but the SCO behaviour of the F and Cl analogues were further studied. The iodine analogue is not known in literature and, using VT-SCXRD, its SCO behaviour was analysed, showing that this derivative undergoes a gradual SCO. Also in this study, we present ten novel cocrystals in which Fe2+ based [Fe(3-bpp)2](BF4)2 complexes were cocrystalised with monotopic coformers, nine of which are SCO-active, showing a variety of SCO behaviour. A series of lutidines (2,3-, 3,4-and 2,6-lutidine) were chosen as coformers, forming SCO active materials, two of which show gradual SCO while the 2,3-lutidine cocrystal shows an abrupt spin transition close to room temperature. Using 4-phenylpyridine as a coformer produced three different crystal forms A, B and C which resulted in abrupt, gradual and no SCO behaviour, respectively. Where 8-Methylquinoline was used as a coformer, the resulting complexes crystallised in two different forms in different spin states with reversible SCO behaviour. 3-Cyanopyridine and 4-styrylpyridine also formed SCO active cocrystals, resulting in irreversible gradual SCO.

Stump-tailed Porcupine
Coendou rufescens
French: Coendou rougeatre / German: Kurzschwanz-Greifstachler / Spanish: Puercoespin de cola corta
Other common names: Short-tailed Porcupine
Taxonomy. Erethizon (Echinoprocta) rufescens Gray, 1865,
“Columbia [= Colombia].”
For a long time, C. rufescens was in the monotypic genus Echinoprocta. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome-b sequence data supports inclusion of rufescensin Coendou and indicates that it is the sister taxon to C. quichua in a clade that also includes C. mexicanus. Monotypic.
Distribution. All three Andean ranges in C & S Colombia and S throughout both slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes to N Peru (Lambayeque Region), also a disjunct population in N Bolivia (Cochabamba Department).
Descriptive notes. Head-body 309-370 mm, tail 105-150 mm, ear 17 mm, hindfoot 60-67 mm; no specific data available for body weight. The Stump-tailed Porcupine is medium-sized and medium brown to black. It lacks emergent fur and thus appears spiny. Dorsal pelage has mostly tricolored quills, with brownish or reddish tips. There is usually some white on face. Frontal sinuses are not inflated, and roof of external auditory meatus is smooth. There is a naked, calloused patch of skin on dorsal surface of tip of tail, suggesting prehension as in other Neotropical porcupines. Tail length averages 40% of head-body length. Defensive quills at base of tail and on rump are bicolored, yellow at bases, and darkly pigmented on distal 20 mm. Venteris pale brown and spiny.
Habitat. Collected from seasonally dry forests at elevations of 800-3500 m, with most records clustered at 1500-3000 m.
Food and Feeding. There is no information available for this species.
Breeding. There is no information available for this species.

French: Coendou brun / German: Schwarzbrauner Greifstachler / Spanish: Puercoespin marrén
Other common names: Brown Hairy Dwarf Porcupine
Taxonomy. Coendou vestitus Thomas, 1899,
“Colombia.”
Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome-b sequence data places C. vestitus in a clade with C. ichillus and C. pruinosus. These three species, together with C. roosmalenorum make up the “ C. vestitus group” and share presence of bristle-quills and soft fur in dorsal pelage. Monotypic.
Distribution. C Colombia, currently known from only two specimens from the W foothills of E Andes Range in Cundinamarca Department but possibly also in the lower E Andean slopes at 1300-2600 m.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 290-370 mm, tail 170-195 mm; no specific data are available for body weight. The Blackish Hairy Dwarf Porcupine is small and medium brown as a result of soft brown hair that covers spines. Two types of spines are present on dorsal pelage. Ordinary defensive quills are up to 37 mm long and pale yellow or whitish basally and, for most of their length, with short brown tips. Bristle-quills emerge through long dorsal fur and are bicolored, pale at their bases, and brown distally, blending almost invisibly with dorsal fur. Emergent fur is lacking on head and face, revealing white-tipped spines that are thick, sharp, and robust. Mystacial vibrissae are fine. Tail is short, with tail length ¢.50% of head-body length. Venter is a warm brown that is somewhat paler than dorsum and is thickly haired and lacks spines. Feet are colored like dorsum.

Other common names: Roosmalen’s Dwarf Porcupine
Taxonomy. Coendou roosmalenorum Voss & da Silva, 2001,
“Novo Jerusalem near the left bank of the middle Rio Madeira in the Brazilian state of Amazonas,” Brazil.
As with C. ichillus, C. pruinosus, and C. vestitus, C. roosmalenorum is placed in the “ C. vestitus group” based on presence of soft dorsal fur, bristle-quills, and defensive quills. Monotypic.
Distribution. W Amazonian Brazil, known from both banks of the Rio Madeira in Amazonas and Rondonia states between 5° S and 9° S and likely distributed widely S of the Amazon River.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 290 mm,tail 260 mm, hindfoot 53 mm; weight ¢.600 g. Roosmalen’s Porcupine is one of the smallest erethizontids. Like other members of the C. vestitus group,it has soft fur covering dorsal spines and bristle-quills. Long dorsal fur is medium-to-dark brownish or grayish. Bicolored spines are yellowish at bases, with dark-brown tips, and cover entire dorsum. Interspersed over dorsum are 40-70 mm, primarily tricolored bristle-quills that are pale yellowish or white at bases and tips, with bands of dark brown in middles. Head is also covered with quills and has fine mystacial vibrissae. Frontal sinuses may or may not be inflated, and dorsal roof of external auditory meatus may or may not show a weak keel. Tail is long, with tail length ¢.90% of head-body length. Base of tail has woolly fur and bicolored quills on its dorsum. Middle section of tail is covered with blackish bristles on upper and lower surfaces, and prehensile tail tip is naked and calloused dorsally. Venter is densely covered with coarse bicolored and tricolored hairs, rooted in clusters, and fine brown wool. Hands and feet have dense cover of coarse black or dark brown hairs dorsally.
Habitat. Lowland rainforest.
Food and Feeding. There is no specific information available for this species, but a captive individual consumed a variety of seeds and fruit.
Breeding. There is no information available for this species.
Activity patterns. Roosmalen’s Porcupine is nocturnal; a semi-captive individual slept in a tree hole during the day.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. There is no information available for this species.

Other common names: Black-tailed Hairy Dwarf Porcupine
Taxonomy. Cercolabes melanurus Wagner, 1842,
“Rio Negro,” Amazonas, Brazil.
Phylogenetic analysis using cytochrome-b sequence data indicates that C. melanurus is the sister taxon to the “ C. vestitus group” including C. vestitus, C. pruinosus, C. ichillus, and likely C. roosmalenorum. Coendou melanurus is sympatric with the larger C. prehensilis. Monotypic.
Distribution. NE Amazonian lowlands N of the Amazon River and E of Orinoco and Rio Negro rivers in E Venezuela, the Guianas, and N Brazil.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 280-380 mm, tail 220-363 mm, ear 7-24 mm, hindfoot 52-75 mm; weight 1.5-2.4 kg. The Black-tailed Porcupine is small and blackish, streaked with yellow. Long emergent dorsal fur is blackish and streaked with long, yellowish-tipped guard hairs that cover bicolored defensive spines. Fur is pale and is thickest on shoulders. Head of the Black-tailed Porcupine is finely grizzled; mystacial vibrissae are slender and fine. Frontal sinuses are seldom inflated, and roof of external auditory meatus has well-developed transverse bony ridge. Tail is relatively long and pitch-black; tail lengths are 80-95% of head-body lengths. Rump is covered with thick yellow defensive spines that may be hidden by fur. Venter is pale gray-brown and frosted with white, and legs and feet are grizzled dark gray-brown or blackish.
Habitat. L.owland rainforest.
Food and Feeding. There is no information available for this species.
Breeding. There is no information available for this species.
Activity patterns. The Black-tailed Porcupine is arboreal and nocturnal. It likely uses high forest canopy at least 15-20 m above ground whereit is difficult to detect.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Black-tailed Porcupine may be locally abundant as indicated by large numbers rescued during construction of a hydroelectric dam.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on 7he IUCN Red List (as Sphiggurus melanurus).
