description: The idiosyncratic volatility puzzle in the asset pricing literature has been a topic of debate for several decades. This study aims to shed light on this puzzle from a South Asian market perspective, specifically in Sri Lanka. Using a sample of 214 non-financial firms listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange over a period of 163 months from September 2004 to March 2018, this study examines the impact of idiosyncratic volatility on average stock returns in Sri Lanka. The empirical results suggest that idiosyncratic volatility has a positive and statistically significant impact on average stock returns in the Sri Lankan market. Additionally, the findings reveal that idiosyncratic volatility is high among small stocks that are exposed to lower levels of profits and investments. These results raise questions about why there is a high demand for small stocks in the market. Furthermore, this study provides new evidence on the relationship between idiosyncratic volatility and profitability and investment, which departs from previous studies in this area. The findings of this study have significant implications for investors and policymakers in Sri Lanka and other emerging markets.

Megobaralipton

description: Megobaralipton Lepesme & Breuning, 1952
Megopis (Megobaralipton) Lepesme & Breuning, 1952: 140.
Megobaralipton; Komiya, 2002: 220 [designation, new rank]; Komiya & Drumont, 2014: 188, 197 [key to species]. Type-species: Aegosoma bicoloripes Ritsema, 1881 by subsequent designation by Komiya, 2002: 220.
Megobaralipton Lepesme & Breuning, 1952, previously considered as a subgenus of Megopis Audinet-Serville, 1832, was revised by Komiya (2002), who considered it as a genus and this generic position was followed and confirmed later on by Komiya & Drumont (2014).
Megobaralipton is mostly characterized by an elongated cylindrical body, head with robust and developed mandibles in males, each mandible furnished with two internal tooth; pronotum strongly convex, with lateral margins indistinct, and widest at posterior half; elytra elongated and generally parallel-sided with rounded apex (furnished with small sutural projection), and with two internal carinae, which start from base or humerus and meet each other at about ¼ of the length of elytra before apex (the inner most often absent); and by legs slender in both sexes (Komiya 2002; Drumont et al. 2018b). The genus comprises seven species and five subspecies organized into three species groups: bicoloripes, lansbergei and mandibulare (Komiya & Drumont 2014).
The geographic range of this genus corresponds approximately to that of Sundaland and partly extends to southeastern China, Laos, and Vietnam (Komiya & Drumont 2014; Drumont et al. 2018a, b). In this work, we confirm the occurrence of Megobaralipton in India, based on a recent collection of the species M. kalimantanum (Komiya & Makihara, 2001) in the Mizoram State. This discovery in India extends the geographic range of the genus to the western part of its distribution.

Holotype Female deposited in Pusat Penelitian Pengambangan Biologi-LIPI, Cibinong.
Type-locality: Indonesia (East Kalimantan [Borneo Island]): Bukit Soeharto.
Size: 27.7–40.6 mm.
Flying period previously recorded for the species: February–October.
Studied material: 3 males, 5 females, India: Mizoram / Lawnglai Dist. / Ngengpuikai vill. / Ngeng Pui N. R. / 120–350 m / 20.IV–9. V.2017 / Stanislav Jákl leg.
Distribution: India — new country record (Mizoram), Indonesia (East Kalimantan), Laos, Malaysia (continental part; Sabah state), Thailand, Vietnam.
Comments: Megobaralipton kalimantanum (figs. A–B) belongs to the bicoloripes species-group. This species exhibits a robust body above all in female and by having the elytra rounded with black margins, while the other species of this species-group have parallel-sided elytra without black margins (Komiya & Drumont, 2014; Drumont et al., 2018b). Megobaralipton kalimantanum was originally described from the island of Borneo (East Kalimantan province (Indonesia) and from Sabah State from East Malaysia). Shortly after, it was reported by Komiya (2002) from continental Malaysia (Cameron Highland). Recently, the species was also mentioned by Drumont & Komiya (2014) from Thailand, based on one male collected in north-eastern part of the country, from Laos by Drumont et al. (2018a) based on one female from Oudomxay province, and from Vietnam by Drumont et al. (2018b) based on several specimens collected in different areas of the country. The discovery of specimens of M. kalimantanum in the Mizoram State extends the geographical distribution of the species into the northern-western part of mainland Asia.

description: Ausmontins Deschodt & Davis, new genus
(Figs. 1A, 2A–B, 3)
Type species: Ausmontins jacobsi Deschodt & Davis, new species, here designated
Head. Clypeus bidentate, with two fairly well-developed and forward-pointing teeth. Single minute tooth on lower clypeal margin between dorsal teeth. Clypeogenal suture fairly distinct and straight.
Pronotum. Highly convex. Antero-lateral margin somewhat flattened.
Elytra. Convex and fused. Striae visible.
Sterna. Meso- and metasternum fused, mesometasternal suture well defined, straight. Densely punctate with small punctures.
Protibia. Three teeth at apical outside margin.
Pygidium. Parameres surface shagreened with medium sized faint punctures.
Aedeagus. Symmetrical. Phallobase with normal shape, parameres complexly shaped with three extending spines (see Fig. 2).
Etymology. The gender is masculine. This genus is named after the Aus Mountains, Namibia, an isolated inselberg where the type species of the genus was collected.
Diagnosis. Ausmontins new genus clearly falls within the tribe Deltochilini by being dorsally strongly convex, bearing three protibial teeth, the lateral margin of elytra being entire and by fore tarsi being present. It keys out to the genus Namaphilus in the key provided by Deschodt & Davis (2017). This new genus can be separated from Namaphilus with its standard aedeagus shape, by the very peculiar denticulate and angulate shaped parameres of the aedeagus and by its highly convex habitus.

description: Asterina rubiacearum M.R. Bhise, C.R. Patil, C.B. Salunkhe & S.V. Kambhar sp. nov. (Fig. 1) MycoBank: MB 811797.
Colonies amphigenous, dark black, circular to spreading, dense to sparse, confluent, up to 9 mm diameter, forming dark brown blotches below the colony. Hyphae dark brown, straight to undulate, branching opposite to alternate, mostly alternate at wide angles, loosely reticulate. Hyphal cells 24–32 × 7 μm. Appressoria alternate to unilateral, moderately placed, unicellular, subglobose to shallowly lobed, margin rough, 6–12 × 7–14 μm. Thyriothecia scattered on mycelium, globose to orbicular, stellately dehisced at the center, margin fimbriate with fringed hyphae, up to 238 μm diameter. Asci numerous, initially globose, ovate at maturity, 8-spored, 47–55 × 32–41 μm. Ascospores oblong, conglobate, olivaceous brown, uniseptate, deeply constricted at the septum, upper cell obovate, lower globose, 31–38 × 14–19 μm, wall smooth.
Type:— INDIA. Maharashtra: Satara, Mahabaleshwar, Machutar-Tetawali, on leaves of Canthium dicoccum var. umbellatum (Wight) Sant. & Merch. (Rubiaceae), 11 December 2013, Bhise M.R., MHB0406 (b), holotype (HCIO 51666).
Additional specimens examined:— INDIA. Maharashtra: Satara, Mahabaleshwar, Linghmala, on leaves of Canthium dicoccum var. umbellatum, 22 December 2012, Bhise M.R., MHB0071, HCIO 51665; Kharoshi, Mahabaleshwar, 7 February 2014, Bhise M.R., MHB0532, HCIO 51667.
Etymology:— the specific epithet refers to the host plant family Rubiaceae.
Notes:— Asterina canthiigena Hosag., Archana & Agarwal and A. canthii-dicocci Hosag. are known on Canthium sp. from Karnataka, India, but are not reported from elsewhere (Hosagoudar 2012). Asterina rubiacearum differs from these two species and closely related species in having larger size colonies, forming dark brown blotches below the colony; single-celled and smaller appressoria, and larger thyriothecia, asci and ascospores (Table 1). Hence, A. rubiacearum is proposed as a new species.
Asterina rubiacearum is associated with Balladyna canthiigena sp. nov., Meliola longiseta Höhnel and M. plectroniae Hansf., which are also growing on the leaves.

Sichuan province: 1♀ (CHH, dissected), Liangshan Yi Autonomous Region, Muli County, Liziping, 2700m, 5.V.2014, X.-D. Yang leg..
Remarks. The female holotype was collected from Yulongxueshan whilst the male paratypes were collected from Ludian, thus the association of male and female requires a confirmation from more material. In a recent expedition made by the first author, specimens of both sexes were collected from both localities.

description: Paxillus MacLeay, 1819
Paxillus MacLeay, 1819: 105; Fonseca & Reyes-Castillo, 2004: 12 (list).
Type species. Paxillus leachi MacLeay, 1819, subsequently designated by Gravely (1918: 48).
Diagnosis. Maximum length 30 mm. Body flattened. Lateral frontal tubercles generally more developed and never merged with external angles of frontal area and distinctly separated from these. Lacinia unidentate. Antennal club with five lamellate antennomeres; scape with shallow depression with sparse setae. Pronotum with anterior marginal grooves short, reaching only ¼ or ½ of pronotal width, normally narrowed. Prosternal process pentagonal after procoxae, large and flattened, with subparallel side, never convergent to apex; apical margin evident and broadly truncated. Disc of metasternum laterally marked, with punctures in lateral area of metasternum. Profemora lacking marginal groove on ventral side near anterior margin.
Habitat. Subcortical species.
Remarks. Paxillus is usually misidentified as Spasalus, because of the antennal club with five antennomeres. It differs from Spasalus and also from some species of Passalus with a five-antennomere antennal club by characters in the diagnosis above. In Spasalus, the prosternal process is romboidal after the procoxae, never pentagonal, with moderately broad, convergent sides to the apex, apex narrow and round to truncate; the profemora with a marginal groove on the ventral face near the anterior margin; and the pronotum with the anterior marginal groove elongate, reaching ½ of the pronotal width. In Passalus the lacinia is always bidentate; the prosternal process is romboidal, the protibiae are not enlarged, the mesotibiae and metatibiae have apical spines that are similar in size, and the hypostomal process long and separated from the labium.

Eyes fewer than 8, scales finely denticulate and apically rounded covering head, body and ventral face of furcula, distal vesicles of ventral tube smooth, mucro bidentate.
In addition to the characters mentioned in the previous section, the species described below share the absence of apical papilla on Ant. 4, absence of scales on antennae, ventral tube, legs and dorsal face of manubrium, outer maxillary lobe with apical and subapical setae smooth and subequal, three medial and one anterior seta-like processes on the sublobular plate (Fig. 40), labial papilla E with four seta-like processes in addition to the lateral process (Fig. 92), and the presence of a smooth mucronal spine reaching the basal mucronal tooth (Fig. 18). The sublobular plate of the outer maxillary lobe of all species has four processes, but the shortest process arises from the dorsal margin of the plate and in most cases it is folded under or covered by the edge of the labrum (Fig. 40).

Chilomastix cuspidata

description: Chilomastix cuspidata (Larsen and Patterson 1990) Bernard et al. 1997 (Figs 1a, 2a)
Observation: Cells are drop-shaped with a long posterior spike and are 20 to 32 µm long (including the spike) with a groove extending from the apex to the posterior end of the untapered part of the cell. The cells have 4 flagella inserting subapically and directed anterior laterally; one is shorter than the cell and the other three are about the cell length. The short flagellum beats and lies within the ventral groove. The nucleus is situated subapically. Food vacuoles occur throughout the cell. The cells move slowly by swimming while rotating and may attach to the substrate by the tip of the spike. Rarely observed.
Remarks: This species was transferred from Percolomonas to Chilomastix cuspidata by Bernard et al. (1997). It has been found at marine sites in Australia, Demark and Ireland (Fenchel et al. 1995; Larsen and Patterson 1990; Weerakoon 1999; Bernard et al. 1997, 2000) and previously reported range of cell lengths is 14 to 33 µm. There are two free-living species in Chilomastix including this species, but the other species, Chilomastix undulata Skuja 1956 was described as having an undulating membrane and may be transferred to Trimastix (Bernard et al. 2000).

Description. Shell(Fig. 10A–F). Length 18–60 mm. Shell small, solid, of medium thickness, ovate, symmetrical; posterior margin ovate, ventral margin straight; the umbo with wavy wrinkles, often eroded; lateral teeth long; the left valve with two pseudocardinal teeth, divided to two opposite triangles by a slit, pseudocardinal tooth of the left valve with a thin groove at the top, connected to lateral teeth; ligament long; anterior adductor muscle scar deep, posterior adductor muscle scar relatively small. Periostracum shining black; nacre white, with non-obvious fine lines.
Comparison. This species can be differentiated from the most similar species R. tauriformis by having a relatively narrow shell, weak lines on the nacre, and a more backward umbo position.
Habitat and distribution: Extinct species that inhabited muddy to sandy substrates near tributary mouths of Lake Babuhai.

Paxillus camerani, Luederwaldt 1931: 77; Blackwelder 1944: 191 (list).
Type locality. Valle Santiago (Ecuador).
Diagnosis. Female. Length 14.5–16.0 mm. Head (Fig. 8): labrum with anterior margin slightly concave, frontal area punctate, anterior margin very slightly notched medially; median frontal area smooth and elevated; anterior frontal ridges weakly curved and elevated, ending before reaching medial frontal tubercles; posterior frontal ridges elevated; medial frontal tubercles prominent and directed forward. Inner tubercles small and distinct; lateral frontal area uneven, with smooth bridge; central tubercle short, slightly broader at the base and slightly separated from the posterior lateral tubercles, posterior lateral tubercles small. Post frontal area declivous and opaque. Antennal club (Fig. 9): first antennomere reduced, antennomere 8 slightly longer than antennomere 9. Pronotum: anterior and lateral margins straight; anterior marginal with groove short, at least 1/6 length of margin, anterior marginal and the lateral marginal narrowed and with single row of coarse punctures. Prosternal process with disc elevated and slightly depressed in the center. Scutellum with median line. Mesosternum smooth and shiny; scar punctate, with punctures exceeding the border of scar. Mesepisternum with large opaque area. Metasternum: disc evident by the coarse and confluent punctures in the margins. Post lateral area of metasternum with fine and sparse punctures. Elytra: humeri with tuft of moderately elongate and sparse setae. Abdomen: sternite slightly rugose and depressed at sides. Mesotibia dorsally pubescent, with 0–1 lateral median spines.
Distribution. Luederwaldt (1931: 78) cited Ecuador (Zamora and Napo) and Brazil (Amazonas and Mato Grosso). Boucher (1986) added French Guiana.
Material examined. Ecuador, Napo, Santa Cecilia, 1 female (dissected), VI. 1968, W. Bokermann leg., excollection Alvarenga (DZUP).
Remarks. Paxillus camerani is similar to P. borellii in the anterior margin of head, but it differs from the other species by the anterior margin of the head distinctly straight (Fig. 8) and mesosternal scar punctate, with punctures exceeding the border of scar.
