Kartidris

description: Kartidris Bolton, 1991
Taxonomy. The genus Kartidris was established under the tribe Pheidolini by Bolton (1991). The worker of the single known Vietnamese species has the following features.
Worker monomorphic; head in full-face view oval, with posterior margin slightly concave medially; frontal lobe in full-face view partly concealing torulus; frontal carina and antennal scrobe absent; median portion of clypeus with anterior margin roundly convex bearing a row of stout setae but lacking an isolated median seta; posteromedian portion of clypeus relatively broadly inserted between frontal lobes; mandible triangular; masticatory margin with 5 sharp teeth which decrease in size from apex to base; antennae 12-segmented, with conspicuous 3- segmented club; eye well developed; vertex with a broad depressed area between eyes; promesonotum highly raised, with a long posterior slope; promesonotal suture vestigial dorsally; metanotal groove conspicuous; propodeum unarmed; propodeal spiracle elliptical, opening posterolaterad; propodeal lobe very small and low, round; petiole pedunculate, with relatively high node; postpetiole much higher than long, relatively strongly swollen dorsad.
The worker of Kartidris is easily distinguished from that of other myrmicine genera known from Vietnam by the depressed area of the vertex (also see notes under Aphaenogaster and Pheidole).
Vietnamese species. Only one species has been found from Vietnam: sp. eg-1 (Chua Yen Tu).
Bionomics. Foragers swarming around a dead cicada were found on the ground within a bamboo forest (720- 845 m alt.).

Pomatostegus

description: Genus Pomatostegus Schmarda, 1861
Type-species. Pomatostegus macrosoma Schmarda, 1861, junior synonym of Terebella stellata Abildgaard, 1789.
Diagnosis. (from ten Hove & Kupriyanova 2009). Tube white, opaque, semi-circular to roughly triangular in crosssection, with up to 5 longitudinal keels; granular overlay absent. Operculum a very flat ampulla covered with chitinous disk bearing a column with several serrated disks alternating with circlets of spines proximally and closely applied to each disk. Peduncle flatly triangular in cross-section with broad latero-distal wings along its entire length; inserted to the left or right at the basis of the branchial lobe; from the fact that the first and second radiole separated by the base of the peduncle, it is inferred that it is derived from the second normal radiole. Constriction absent. Pseudoperculum absent. Arrangement of radioles in (semi-)circles, up to 90 per lobe. Interradiolar membrane present. Branchial eyes present. Stylodes absent. Mouth palps absent. Seven thoracic chaetigerous segments. Collar tri- to penta-lobed, well developed with an entire smooth margin. Tonguelets absent. Thoracic membranes short, ending just posterior to the second row of uncini (segment 3). Collar chaetae Spirobranchus - type, with basal pilose fin and distal blade, and limbate. Apomatus chaetae present. Thoracic uncini saw-shaped, with 9–13 teeth, anterior peg blunt. Thoracic tori meet ventrally in larger specimens; in juveniles the ventral space between thoracic tori narrowing towards last rows that almost fused, leaving a triangular depression. Abdominal chaetae flat narrow geniculate, with long blade. Abdominal uncini smaller than thoracic ones, with about 8 teeth in profile, 3 teeth in a row. Achaetous anterior abdominal zone absent. Long posterior capillary chaetae absent, but posterior chaetae longer. Posterior glandular pad absent.
Remarks. For a couple of decades, the genus was thought to be monotypic, with Pomatostegus stellatus (Abildgaard, 1789) as single representative, occurring circumtropically. Instigated by P. Valentijn (personal communication from unpublished student's research), ten Hove & Kupriyanova (2009: 78) restricted the nominal taxon P. stellatus to the tropical Atlantic Region, and the previously synonymized P. actinoceras Mörch, 1863, from the Indo-West Pacific Region and P. krøyeri Mörch, 1863, from tropical Pacific America, were elevated to full species again.

Lasiomyrma

description: Lasiomyrma Terayama & Yamane, 2000
Taxonomy. The genus Lasiomyrma is assigned to the tribe Stenammini by Terayama & Yamane (2000). The worker of the single known Vietnamese species has the following features.
Wo r k e r probably monomorphic; head in lateral view subrectangular; frontal carina and antennal scrobe absent; median portion of clypeus forming steep anterior face, with weak submedian carinae; anteromedian portion of clypeus forming a transverse strip with anterior margin weakly pointed in middle, lacking an isolated median seta; posteromedian portion of clypeus relatively narrowly inserted between frontal lobes; mandible elongate-trianglar, with 8 teeth that decrease in size from apex to base; antenna 12-segmented, with inconspicuous 3-segmented club; eye well developed; promesonotum in lateral view slightly convex, only a little higher than anterior border of propodeum, in dorsal view with obtusely angulate humeri; promesonotal suture absent dorsally; metanotal groove distinct; propodeal spine distinct; propodeal lobe present as a small angulate lobe; petiole pedunculate, with high and thin node; postpetiole higher than long, in lateral view roundly convex dorsally; gastral shoulder absent.
All of the described species of Lasiomyrma have 11-segmented antennae (Terayama & Yamane 2000, Jaitrong 2010). However, a single worker of Lasiomyrma collected from northern Vietnam (L. sp. eg-1) has 12-segmented antennae, thus the worker diagnosis of the genus given in Terayama & Yamane (2000) should be widened as "antenna 11- or 12-segmented". The worker of Lasiomyrma is morphologically very similar to those of Lordomyrma bhutanensis (Baroni Urbani) and L. sinensis (Ma, Xu, Makio & DuBois) which were recently transferred to Lordomyrma from Stenamma by Branstetter (2009). These Lordomyrma species completely lack antennal scrobes and have the apex of anterior clypeal margin with a small projecting tooth. We provisionally accept Lasiomyrma as a valid genus but suggest that a comprehensive re-examination of Lordomyrma and Lasiomyrma is needed.
Vietnamese species. A single specimen of Lasiomyrma has been found from Vietnam: sp. eg-1 (Ba Vi).
Bionomics. The single specimen of Lasiomyrma sp. eg-1 was collected near the top of Mt. Ba Vi, ca. 1,100 m alt. (Eguchi et al. 2005).

Sion/Sitten, Archives de l'Etat du Valais/Staatsarchiv Wallis, Ms. litt. 10/1 : Chanson de la Reine Sebile (fragment)
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: The Chanson de la Reine Sebile or Macaire is a work from the end of the 12th century that belongs to the medieval French epics, more precisely to the epics that refer to the "poetic biography of Charlemagne": Macaire, who is in love with Queen Sebile, wife of Charlemagne, conspires so that she is unjustly accused of adultery, cast out, and sent into exile, to be rehabilitated in the end. More than 200 alexandrines from this heroic epic are known. They come from five different fragments that were not part of the same original manuscript and are today held in Brussels, Royal Library of Belgium (ms. II 139, ff. 3r-4r: 2 13th century fragments), in Sheffield, University Library (ms 137: 2 13th century fragments), and in Sion, State Archive of Valais. The fragment from Sion was discovered in 1925 by Leo Meyer, cantonal librarian and state archivist, in an old binding and removed. It was then edited by Paul Aebischer (1950), who dated it to around 1300. The fragment, which has a hole in one place, contains 168 verses in two columns. Its only decoration are red initials at the beginning of the verses.

Sion/Sitten, Archives de l'Etat du Valais/Staatsarchiv Wallis, de Rivaz, Rz 222 : Missale speciale OFM
Creators: name: Rivaz, Charles Emmanuel de
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: This Missale speciale from the second half of the 13th century is for the use of the Franciscan Order and contains the mass formularies for the most important feasts of the liturgical year, for votive masses, and for some rituals. Thanks to its small format, it could easily be taken along on journeys. Leisibach places its origins in the Savoy region, as the barely visible coats of arms of the de Sales family seem to confirm (f. 59v). The missal came into the possession of Charles Emmanuel de Rivaz (1753-1830), an important politician in the Valais. On the fly leaf, a note in his hand can be found, which lists the contents of the missal (f. A1r-v). His library was donated to the Valais State Archives by his descendants in 1978.

Liomyrmex

description: Liomyrmex Mayr, 1865
Taxonomy. The genus Liomyrmex was recently revised by Rigato and Bolton (2001) and assigned to the tribe Liomyrmecini by Bolton (2003). The worker of the single known species has the following features.
Worker monomorphic but size-variable: head in full-face view subrectangular, with round posterolateral corners; frontal carina and antennal scrobe absent; median portion of clypeus raised well, margined at each side by a well defined carina, with straight anterior margin; median clypeal seta absent, but a pair of distinct setae present in the middle; frontal lobes widely separated by posteromedian portion of clypeus; antenna 11-segmented with distinct3-segmented club; eye absent; masticatory margin short, 4-toothed; promesonotum in lateral view almost flat or only weakly convex; promesonotal suture absent; metanotal groove distinct; propodeum unarmed; propodeal spiracle large; metapleural gland bulla large, elongate toward propodeal spiracle; propodeal lobe well developed, not produced posteriad but in lateral view filling the concave outline of posterior slope of propodeum; petiolar peduncle short but distinct; petiolar node well developed, in lateral view squarish, and in dorsal view transversely elongate; subpetiolar process lamelliform, directing anteroventrad; sternite of postpetiole distinctly produced anteroventrad; gastral shoulder indistinct; sting extremely developed, long.
The worker of Liomyrmex is somewhat similar to eyeless worker (or minor) of Anillomyrma, Oligomyrmex, Parvimyrma and Solenopsis. However, frontal lobes are not so widely separated by the posteromedian portion of clypeus and antennal segmentation is not "11-segmented with distinct 3-segmented club" in the worker (minor) of the latter genera.
Vietnamese species. After their critical reexamination of relevant type-material and other specimens, Rigato & Bolton (2001) concluded that Liomyrmex Mayr is monotypic. The single species, Liomyrmex gestroi (Emery), is widespread in the Indo-Chinese, Indo-Malayan, and Austro-Malayan subregions: gestroi (Emery) [= sp. eg-1] ("Muong Moun" (see Rigato & Bolton)).
Bionomics. According to Rigato & Bolton (2001), Liomyrmex gestroi is a species of forest leaf-litter and topsoil and may be a specialised predator of isopterans. Eguchi found a mass of workers under bark of large fallen log in W. Bali (unfortunately he did not take account of the presence of other insects).

The manuscript, bound in a Romanesque binding, was probably written towards the end of the 12th century, possibly also at the beginning of the 13th century. It is unclear whether it was written in St. Gall, but the ownership note Liber sancti Galli from the 13th century (flyleaf) indicates that it was already in the monastery of St. Gall at that time.

Lophomyrmex

description: Lophomyrmex Emery, 1892
Taxonomy. The genus Lophomyrmex was placed in the tribe Solenopsidini by Emery (1895), and in the Pheidologeton genus group by Ettershank (1966). More recently the genus was revised by Rigato (1994a), and transferred into the tribe Pheidolini. The worker of the single known Vietnamese species has the following features.
Worker monomorphic; head in full-face view oval with a relatively straight posterior margin; frontal carina and antennal scrobe absent; median portion of clypeus convex anteriad, with a protruding blunt tooth at the midpoint of its anterior margin; frontal lobes moderately separated by posteromedian portion of clypeus; antenna 11-segmented with distinct 3-segmented club; eye oval with a weak anteroventral point, located at about midlength of head in full-face view; masticatory margin of mandible with apical tooth and one preapical tooth, followed by an enlarged denticle, this then followed by a series of small denticles; basal margin of mandible finely serrated; promesonotum forming a single dome, flattened dorsally, with a pair of horizontal flat spines those are formed by the lateral and anterolateral edges of the dorsum and directed anteriad; promesonotal suture absent; metanotal groove well defined; propodeal spine long; propodeal lobe reduced to a weak carina; petiole with a distinct peduncle and a high node; gastral shoulder distinct.
The worker of Lophomyrmex is similar to the minor workers of Pheidole and Pheidologeton. However, in the minor worker of Oriental species of Pheidole, the antenna is 12-segmented and basal margin of the mandible is never serrated. In the worker of Pheidologeton the antennal club is 2-segmented and the basal margin of mandible is never serrated.
Vietnamese species. The genus Lophomyrmex occurs in the Oriental and Indo-Australian regions, and in Vietnam only one species has been found from the central and southern regions: birmanus Emery [= sp. eg-1] (Binh Chau-Phuoc Buu, Nam Cat Tien, Nui Chua).
Bionomics. Lophomyrmex birmanus nests in the soil, usually under stones and logs or around the bases of trees. Workers are active ground-foragers. We have collected workers by underground bait-trapping, suggesting they workers forage both on and under the ground.

Operculum and pseudoperculum absent. Radioles arranged in two semicircles to a spire of up to 6 whorls, up to 320 per lobe (P. superba Moore, 1909). Inter-radiolar membrane present. Branchial eyes may be present. Stylodes absent. Mouth palps present. Seven thoracic chaetigerous segments. Collar trilobed, tonguelets absent. Thoracic membranes long and wide, with undulating edge, forming ventral apron across anterior abdominal segments. Collar chaetae limbate. Apomatus chaetae present. Thoracic and abdominal uncini rasp-shaped with approximately 30 teeth in profile, up to 6 rows of teeth above and continuing onto elongated rounded peg. Thoracic triangular depression absent. Abdominal chaetae sickle-shaped, with finely denticulate blades, may be retro-geniculate in some taxa. Achaetous anterior abdominal zone absent. Long posterior capillary chaetae present. Posterior glandular pad present.
Remarks. In their recent review of the taxonomy of serpulid genera, ten Hove & Kupriyanova (2009: 81) called Protula the most problematic serpulid taxon. Often authors do not even try to identify specimens to species level as evidenced by over 60 literature records of Protula spec. in ten Hove’s literature database. The phylogenetic basis for this genus is ill-defined and based on negative characters, such as lack of an operculum, lack of special collar chaetae and mostly lack of any characteristic ornamentation of the tube (although Protula diomedeae Benedict, 1887 has a fairly recognizable tube, and some others too may be determined by tubes only). In Australia, two species are currently commonly reported: the large forms with distinct spiralled radioles (white or white and yellow in colour) as P. bispiralis (Savigny, 1822) and all smaller forms as P. palliata (Willey, 1905). For an extensive discussion see Ben-Eliahu & ten Hove (2011: 44–62). The real number of species is unknown and it is most likely impossible to determine without a dedicated morphological and molecular revisionary study.

description: Analytically solving the magnetostatic Maxwell equations in the bispherical coordinates, we calculate the magnetic field around two uniformly magnetized spheres oriented so that their magnetic moments are parallel to the axis passing through the centers of the spheres. We demonstrate that, contrary to what is often claimed in the literature, the magnetic interaction between such spheres is not equivalent to the interaction between two point magnetic dipoles placed in the centers of the spheres. The nonzero levitation force acting on a uniformly magnetized sphere or a point magnetic dipole above a superconducting sphere in the ideal Meissner state is a clear manifestation of the non-equivalence.

St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. Sang. 515 : Private prayer book in German
Creators: name: Augustinus, Aurelius
name: Hauntinger, Johann Nepomuk
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: This small-format prayer book in German contains prayers to Christ, on the Passion and on Communion, to Mary, Mother of God, and to various saints, further prayers on various topics, reflections on the Passion, and devotions according to Johannes Gerson. On f. 38v and 39r there are two full-page miniatures. They depict Christ on the cross with Mary and John (f. 38v) and the Pietà with the instruments of torture (Arma Christi, f. 39r). The manuscript was probably written for a women's convent or for female users, although some male forms also appear in the prayers. According to the ownership note on f. 185r, in the 17th century the book was owned by the Benedictine Convent St. Wiborada in St. Georgen above St. Gall.

. La existencia de un texto sobre normas de comportamiento en las reducciones, puniciones e instrucción tiene que ser explicada, también en el cuadro de los otros ms. en guaraní que conservamos de la región. Hay varias cuestiones en cuanto al contenido y a los destinatarios de un tal texto, si eran indígenas o misioneros o los dos. El cuadro de Diálogos entre un indígena y un jesuita sirve ciertamente a jóvenes misioneros para aplicarse en un uso pragmático correcto y con carácter de modelo en cuanto a la explicación verbal de esas normas en guaraní. Por eso es uno de los textos mayores del temporal en la región que vale particular atención. Vamos a aclarar esas preguntas en la introducción de la edición.

Hay otra versión más completa en el Museo Udaondo de Luján. Probablemente las dos copias fueron en el siglo XIX en la colección de Pedro de Angelis.

Lordomyrma

description: Lordomyrma Emery, 1897
Taxonomy. The genus Lordomyrma is assigned to the tribe Stenammini (Bolton 1994, 2003). The genus was recently overviewed by Taylor (2009). Although Lordomyrma as recognised by Taylor (2009) is morphologically heterogeneous, the worker of the single known Vietnamese species has the following features.
Worker monomorphic; head in full-face view subrectangular; frontal lobe large; antennal scrobe very deep, surrounded dorsally by frontal carina and ventrally by genal carina; posteroventral face of head laterally margined by a weak carina; median portion of clypeus forming steep anterior face, with distinct submedian carinae; posteromedian part of clypeus relatively narrowly inserted between frontal lobes; mandible triangular; masticatory margin with 7 or more teeth decreasing in size from apex to base; antenna 12-segmented, with 3-segmented club; eye medium sized; promesonotum in lateral view weakly elevated above anterior border of propodeal dorsum, in dorsal view with angulate humeri; promesonotal suture absent dorsally; metanotal groove distinct dorsally; propodeal spine long and slender; propodeal lobe well developed, triangular, expanding posterodorsad; petiole consisting of short peduncle and moderately elevated node; petiole higher than long; gastral shoulder absent; head, mesosoma and waist segments heavily sculptured.
Lordomyrma bhutanensis (Baroni Urbani) and L. sinensis (Ma, Xu, Makio & DuBois) which were recently transfered to Lordomyrma from Stenamma by Branstetter (2009) represent the named species of Lordomyrma known from mainland Asia. The two species differ in several important ways from other Asian species: (1) frontal carinae and scrobes absent; (2) apex of the anterior clypeal margin with a small tooth; (3) ventrolateral margin of the head not delineated by a short carina; (4) propodeal spines short; and (5) petiolar peduncle relatively long and slender. Thus, the generic limits between Lordomyrma and Lasiomyrma need re-examination (see notes under Lasiomyrma).
Vietnamese species. A single colony of Lordomyrma has been found from Vietnam: sp. eg-1 (Sa Pa).
Bionomics. The single known colony of Lordomyrma sp. eg-1 was found in the soil under stone in a relatively well-developed lower montane forest (1,600-1,700 m alt.).

description: The superconducting diode effect (SDE) is defined by the difference in the magnitude of critical currents applied in opposite directions. It has been observed in various superconducting systems and attracted high research interests. However, the operating temperature of the SDE is typically low and/or the sample structure is rather complex. For the potential applications in non-dissipative electronics, efficient superconducting diodes working in zero magnetic field with high operating temperatures and a simple configuration are highly desired. Here, we report the observation of a SDE under zero magnetic field with operating temperatures up to 72 K and efficiency as high as 22% at 53 K in high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO) flake devices. The rectification effect persists beyond two hundred sweeping cycles, confirming the stability of the superconducting diode. Our results offer promising developments for potential applications in non-dissipative electronics, and provide insights into the mechanism of field-free SDE and symmetry breakings in high-Tc superconductors.

Pseudovermilia

description: Genus Pseudovermilia Bush, 1907
Type-species. Spirobranchus occidentalis McIntosh, 1885
Diagnosis. (from ten Hove & Kupriyanova 2009). Tube white (in one species with transverse brown bands), opaque, with longitudinal keel(s), sub-triangular or triangular in cross-section; generally with regular ornamentation of ribs, pits, or teeth. Double or single brooding scoops may be present. Granular overlay absent. Operculum consisting of bulbous ampulla terminated by chitinous endplate or cap, usually with spine(s). Pseudoperculum absent. Peduncle smooth, cylindrical, without wings, clearly separated from ampulla by constriction; inserted just below and between first and second radiole on one side. Arrangement of radioles pectinate, up to 17 per lobe, inter-radiolar membrane absent. Branchial eyes not known. Stylodes absent. Filiform mouth palps present. Seven thoracic chaetigerous segments. Collar with unpaired medio-ventral lobe and two latero-dorsal lobes continuous with short thoracic membranes, continuing to second thoracic chaetiger. Tonguelets between ventral and lateral collar lobes absent. Collar chaetae limbate. Apomatus chaetae from second or third chaetiger onward. Thoracic uncini saw-shaped, with 9–17 teeth above gouged peg (seemingly bifurcate). Triangular depression absent. Abdominal chaetae flat narrow geniculate, with rounded teeth on edge. Abdominal uncini rasp-shaped with 9–13 teeth in profile view, up to 6 teeth in a row above gouged peg. Short achaetous anterior abdominal zone may be present. Long posterior capillary chaetae present. Posterior glandular pad may be present.
Remarks. The genus Pseudovermilia is most similar to the genus Semivermilia, the differences being the insertion of the peduncle (inserted just below and between first and second radiole in the former versus inserted as second radiole in the latter); the arrangement of the radioles, long pectiniform versus short pectiniform; the structure of thoracic uncini (saw-shaped in the former versus saw- to-rasp-shaped in the latter) and the (mostly) regular ornamentation of the tube in Pseudovermilia, missing in Semivermilia. All these characters show clinal variation and it remains to be seen if ten Hove’s (1975) proposed differentiation holds under DNA scrutiny.

description: The family register of the Feldkirch student Jakob Hygel, which was established in Dillingen in 1598, was later continued at Lake Constance and in Grisons. The entries contain colored coats of arms with inscriptions in poetry and prose, some of them full-page miniatures. Between 1622 and 1645 entries were made for the Ragaz parish priest Petrus Higelius, a relative (brother?) of Jakob Hygel. Locally this family register is considered a first-rate cultural-historical showpiece (“erstrangiges kulturgeschichtliches Schaustück”) (Burmeister).

St. Gallen, Kantonsbibliothek, Vadianische Sammlung, VadSlg Ms 327 : Book of hours
Creators: name: Studer, Jakob
Publisher: name: e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
Year: 2024

description: This book of hours is from the workshop of the Master of Gold Scrolls, which was probably located in Bruges and specialized in the production of books of hours. It was likely made for someone in Flanders in the middle of the 15th century. Contrary to the usual sequence of texts, this book of hours features the Office of the Virgin after those of the Cross and of the Holy Spirit. When this book of hours was rebound, a series of cut-out historiated initials were inserted that pick up on the themes of the miniatures. In 1615 the bibliophile St. Gallen merchant Jakob Studer donated this book of hours to the municipal library.
