Lasioglossum tegulare

description: Lasioglossum (Dialictus) tegulare species group
Diagnosis. Members of the L. tegulare group can be distinguished from most other Dialictus by the presence of an enlarged and punctate tegula. In North America, there are two exceptions; L. marinum and L. megastictum (Cockerell) both have enlarged tegula but additional morphological data do not support a close relationship to L. tegulare (Gibbs, unpublished data). Both of these latter species are larger than members of the tegulare group and have dense punctation on the mesoscutum. In contrast, species within the tegulare group are small to at most medium-sized Dialictus and have close but distinctly separated punctures on the central disc of the mesoscutum. In addition, L. marinum has metallic reflections on the metasoma that are absent in the tegulare group. Lasioglossum megastictum lacks punctures on the mesepisternum that are a common feature of many tegulare group species.
Description. Small to medium sized (3.5–6.1 mm); andreniform; head and mesosoma dull metallic; metasoma dark brown to piceous, rarely ferruginous (as in L. hunteri [Crawford]); mesoscutum punctation close but distinctly separated on centre of disc; mesepisternum often distinctly punctate; tegula enlarged forming posterior angle often coarsely punctate; basal vein arched; 2nd and 3rd submarginal crossveins (1rs-m and 2rs-m) and 2nd recurrent vein (2m-cu) weak.

Diagnosis. In male genitalia the new species is distinguished from all known Neotropical Acalyptris, except A. lascuavella Puplesis & Robinson, by valva with a short basal process. From A. lascuavella it differs in the presence of apical spine-like carinae on the aedeagus, and the rounded (not bilobed) pseuduncus.
Male (Figs 3, 4). Forewing length 1.7 mm, wingspan 3.8 mm. Head: palpi greyish cream; frontal tuft dark yellow-orange; collar yellow-cream, prominent, comprises broadened piliform scales; eye-caps yellow-cream; antenna with ca. 28 segments, slightly shorter than half of forewing; flagellum fuscous to brown-grey on upper side, brown-cream on underside. Thorax, tegulae and forewings grey, speckled with fuscous scales (particularly densely at apical part of forewing). Postmedian fascia incomplete (not reaching tornus of forewing), distinctly oblique, cream. Apical grey-cream spot weakly developed, irregular; apical cilia cream, on tornus grey; underside of forewing fuscous-grey. Hindwings and its cilia grey. Legs pale grey, glossy, with grey-brown darkening on upper side.
Female. Unknown.
Male genitalia (Figs 5–7). Capsule longer (210 m) than wide (150 µm). Vinculum with two triangular, distally rounded lateral (anterior) lobes. Uncus small caudal projection and sclerotized lateral lobes (Fig. 5). Gnathos with pointed caudal process and angular central plate (Fig. 5). Valva (Figs 5, 7) 145 µm long, with straight blunt apical process, large basal inner process, and with short slender sublateral process; transverse bar of transtilla present (long and slender). Aedeagus (Fig. 6) 180 µm long, 65 µm wide, with two large pointed apical carinae; vesica with a compact cluster of spine-like cornuti and some minute triangular cornuti.
Bionomics. A single adult attracted to light in February in the disturbed secondary lowland evergreen broadleaf tropical forest (Fig. 2).
Distribution. Known from a single locality in NE Guatemala (Petén Region) (Fig. 1).
Etymology. The species name is derived from Latin basis (a base) and cornis (a horn) in reference to the hornlike basal process of the valva.

description: The first evidence that Orthopoxvirus induced the expansion in vivo and the recall of effector innate Vδ2 T-cells was described in a macaque model. Although, an engagement of αβ T-cells specific response in patients infected with human monkeypox (Mpox) was demonstrated, little is known about the role of γδ T-cells during Mpox infection. IFN-γ-producing γδ T-cells in the resistance to poxviruses may a key role in inducing a protective type 1 memory immunity. We analyzed the kinetics of Vδ2 T-cell response from the acute phase up to three months after Mpox infection. Fourteen MSM subjects (5 PWH, 35.7%) were enrolled in a longitudinal study from May to July 2022. Blood samples were collected in the early phase of infection (T1, T2) and at 3 months (T3M) post-symptom onset. Vδ2 T-cell profiles (CD45RA/CCR7), activation/exhaustion markers (CD38/HLA-DR/CD57/PD-1/TIM-3), cytokine production (IFN-γ/TNF-α) and CD107a expression were assessed by multiparametric flow cytometry. Ten healthy donors (HD) were used as a control group. At T1, Vδ2 T-cell frequency of patients decreased, and effector memory Vδ2 T-cells increased with respect to HD. Activation/exhaustion markers were higher than HD. Vδ2 functionality decreased at T1 related to HD, and it was associated with CD38 and HLA-DR higher expression as well as TIM-3. Vδ2 T-cells restored their profile at T3M. The presence of effector/activated Vδ2 T-cells in the early stages of Mpox infection and their capability to activate quickly, producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, may be useful to enhance the early adaptive response to human Mpox, maintaining a protective memory/effector T-cell response.

description: In previous investigations, we reported that pre-exposure to radiofrequency (RF) withdifferent frequencies, modulation patterns, and specific absorption rate (SAR) levels, canreduce the damage induced by physical and chemical agents in different cellmodels. This study carried out within the NextGEM project funded by the EuropeanUnion, concerns the evaluation of the non-thermal effects of exposure and co-exposureof human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) to RF, in terms of ROS formation, apoptosis,and cell cycle progression.SH-SY5Y cells were exposed for three hours to 1950 MHz, LTE signal at SAR levels of 0.3and 1.25 W/kg, and co-exposed to menadione, a well-known cytotoxic chemical agent.To date, the effect on ROS formation has been carried out by flow cytometer. Thepreliminary results here reported indicate: i) no effect on ROS formation after exposureto RF alone at both SAR levels investigated, ii) induction of ROS formation by MDtreatments as a function of MD concentration, and iii) no effect of combined exposure ofRF with 20 μM MD. Subsequent investigations will be carried out to consolidate theseresults and to assess the effects on apoptosis and cell cycle.

description: The impact of gender upon levels of empathy within the context of a volunteer telephone hotline was examined. Male and female confederates placed fictitious telephone calls to the hotline which were recorded and evaluated for state empathy. Trait empathy of the hotline volunteers was also assessed and results revealed no gender differences. A gender of caller by gender of telephone worker analysis of variance on state empathy ratings revealed no significant main effects or interactions. A significant negative correlation between age of the telephone worker and the empathy levels was found. The lack of expected findings is discussed in terms of methodological problems in this area of research. Directions for future research are also presented.

description: Genus Allolobophora Eisen, 1874
TYPE SPECIES. — Enterion chloroticum Savigny, 1826: 182.
DIAGNOSIS. — Small-to-medium-sized species with green pigmentation (sometimes absent). Prostomium epilobous, no transversal furrows. Setae closely paired. First dorsal pore in 4/5 (rarely 3/4, 5/6, 7/8). Male pores in 1/2 XV with well-developed porophores. Presence of spermatophores. Spermathecal pores in variable position and number between 7/8 and 10/11, simple. Nephridial pores irregularly distributed (en solfège). Clitellum moderately posterior to extremely posterior, starting between XXVIII and LXXIII and ending between XXXVI and LXXVIII. Calciferous glands in X-XV with diverticula in X. Typhlosole usually trifid (sometimes bifid or with 4 lamellae). Variable number of simple spermathecae, usually three or four pairs. Four pairs of seminal vesicles in IX-XII. Nephridial bladders U-shaped (incurvate and reclinate or proclinate).
INCLUDED SPECIES. — Allolobophora chlorotica (Savigny, 1826: 182); Allolobophora burgondiae Bouché, 1972: 272; Allolobophora icterica (Savigny, 1826: 182); Allolobophora molleri Rosa, 1889: 3, Allolobophora moebii Michaelsen, 1895, Allolobophora dubiosa (Örley, 1881: 603); Allolobophora delitescens Gérard, Decaëns & Marchán, n. sp.
DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION. — The genus Allolobophora as redefined by Martínez Navarro et al. (2023) comprises seven species natively distributed in the Iberian Peninsula, France, Morocco, Algeria, Italy, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine. However, their geographic origin appears to be located between the Iberian Peninsula, Maghreb and the perialpine region (including France, Switzerland and the Western Balkans). The species attributed to Heraclescolex Qiu & Bouché, 1998 in the genus original description likely belong to Allolobophora and are mainly distributed in Portugal, western Spain and Morocco.

Calliphora latifrons Hough, 1897: 1853 nomen nudum.
Calliphora latifrons Hough, 1899b: 286. Type locality: USA (Idaho, Moscow).
Distribution: Highlands of northern Mexico northward to Alaska, eastward to Ontario, Canada.
Remarks: This is the most widespread member of the Calliphorini in the western United States. Recorded in 46 of the 58 California counties. C. latifrons breeds in the freshly killed carcasses of small animals such as smaller rodents and birds. The adults readily enter houses and may occur there in large numbers as a result of emergence from the bodies of poisoned or trap-killed mice. The variation in size is striking, a result, undoubtedly, of undersized individuals being produced by larval overcrowding and consequent shortage of food. This species has never been recorded in human or large animal myiasis, and, because of its small animal breeding preference, probably never will be. It may, however, readily contaminate food by mechanical transmission of pathogens.

Elachista deficiens Meyrick, 1922: 508
Material examined: ɗ, labelled: rounded white label with red margin “Holo- | type ”; white rectangle “Maskeliya | Ceylon | Pole. 4. 03; Elachista | deficiens | 1/1 Meyrick | E. Meyrick det. | in Meyrick Coll.; deficiens Meyr.; B. M. ɗ | Genitalia slide | No. 29575”. In BMNH.
Male. Forewing length 3.5 mm; wingspan 7.7 mm. Head: Vertex and neck tuft mottled due to brown tips of greyish scales; frons white with some metallic lustre; labial palpus whitish above, fuscous below, apices dark brown; flagellum brownish, not clearly ringed. Thorax: Forewing pale, greyish brown, mottled by dark brown tipped scales. Dark brown scales beyond the middle of wing forming two irregular spots near the costal and tornal margins. Same scales present in apical part, where they form an irregular spot. Irregular tornal and costal spots whitish. Hindwing dark brown.
Female. Unknown.
Pregenital abdomen (Fig. 7). Tergites VII and VIII with weakly sclerotized patches (Fig. 7 a, c); sternites VII and VIII with pair of curved, heavily sclerotized rods (Fig. 7 b, d).
Male genitalia (Figs. 5, 6). Uncus lobes unmodified, curved, basally bulbous, narrowed towards tip; ventral surface covered with short and thick, and rather long and slender setae. Basal arms of gnathos reinforced, spinose knob large and oval. Valva about 5 times longer than wide; sacculus basally slightly expanded, medially almost straight, distally with stout spine; cucullus rounded; hump of costa not large. Digitate process long and narrow, distally only slightly dilated, with few thin setae. Median margin of juxta lobes strongly sclerotized; lobes rounded, with few short setae. Vinculum produced into long tapering saccus. Aedeagus almost as long as valva, with a large pointed extension and strongly curved at 2/3; basal part broadened, with prominent dorsal lobe of caecum.
Distribution. Sri Lanka (Fig. 4).
Biology. The holotype was captured in early April; no other information available.
Diagnosis. E. deficiens can be distinguished most easily from other species of the E. freyerella species-group by the shape of the aedeagus, particularly the pointed extension at approximately 2/3 of its length.
Remarks. The holotype is in a poor condition; the forewings are rather rubbed and therefore the description is approximate.

Distribution. China (Yunnan), Nepal.
Remarks. In the specimens of B. (A.) lebisi we have examined, the elytra are usually metallic green with a pair of brownish red stripes. However, we observed that the elytra of two other specimens appeared metallic yellow with a pair of purple stripes (Fig. 1G), which are not significantly different from the species in other features. We identified that these two specimens were also B. (A.) lebisi. Since they were already in the mummified state when collected in the wild, we believe that the different elytral colour might be caused by the long-term exposure to strong sunlight.

Current status: Ectinogonia (Kheiliella) melichari rufimarginata Cobos, 1969 (Bellamy, 2008; Giraldo-Mendoza, 2019).
Comments: The original description of Cobos (1969:30) indicate that this subspecies was described from two male specimens (holotype and paratype), that were previously determined as “cincta Kerr.”. Original description also mentions that this taxon measures 17 mm in length and that its type locality is “ Perú: 40 mi. E. Abancay, 5-III-1951 (Ross y Michelbacher leg.)”. We recognized this specimen as holotype of Ectinogonia (Ectinogonia) melichari rufimarginata Cobos, 1969 since it matches exactly the above-mentioned information, as well as its original description and bears Cobos holotype labels.

description: This work introduces an approach to enhance the real-time monitoring of batch suspension polymerization processes through the integration of real-time calorimetry and state estimation techniques. The challenges inherent in monitoring dynamic and complex processes, particularly in the absence of direct measurements, are effectively addressed through the proposed approach. A dynamic model equation specific to batch operation is employed to assess conversion throughout the process, with timely updates of dynamic parameters in the model equation. A nonlinear high gain cascaded observer with calorimetric measurements estimates the overall heat transfer coefficient and reaction heat. Variations in other parameters such as heat capacity and density are derived from estimated conversion data and updated in the model equation. The study also accounts for the heat loss to the surroundings during isoperibolic batch processes. Validation of the proposed soft sensor model is carried out by comparing the estimated and experimental conversion data by conducting MMA suspension polymerization in a reaction calorimeter. Results demonstrate the potential of calorimetric state estimation as an alternative to direct conversion measurements, offering comprehensive and enhanced monitoring of the batch suspension polymerization process.
