Archiphora pria Grimaldi and Cumming, 1999: 97.
SUMMARY: The original (holotype) specimen of H. pria is covered with a milky coating that obscures many surface details, critically the acrostichals, as well as the presence/absence of a median furrow on the frons, and terminalia, though portions of larger macrosetae protrude through the coating. A new specimen in New Jersey amber, AMNH NJ-Ch1, has some critical features that are better preserved, but this specimen lost the left side of the head and thorax before or during fossilization, and the abdomen has a thin milky coating. A few acrostichals can be seen in left profile, which appear to be in one (or possibly several) rows and are significantly smaller than those in H. robusta (whose acrostichals are about as large as the flanking dorsocentrals; fig. 19). Male genitalic structure cannot be compared to H. robusta since this specimen is female. Most importantly, the stridulatum is present in AMNH NJ-Ch1, with a scraper very visible on the mesal surface of the right profemur, and a file on the lateral surface of the left procoxa. The location, arc, and length of the stridulatum are just as in living sciadocerines, but the number and structure of ridges and teeth are not visible. A stridulatum was also observed in H. robusta based on a file on the right procoxa of a male specimen, AMNH Ba-JH58 (fig. 19) (this specimen also lacks a median furrow on the frons).
Hennigophora pria is similar to H. robusta in venation (proportions and lengths of main veins, a tubular stem of M; fig. 47A, B), setation of legs; and a broad frons (judging from the preserved right half in AMNH NJ-Ch1). It differs from H. robutsa by having a pair of reclinate interfrontals, near the frontal margin of the frons (vs. absent); also, setae are shorter, especially the acrostichals, supraalars, postalars, and scutellars. In agreement with Brown (2007a), Archiphora should be restricted to the sole living species.

description: Eosciadocera Hong
Eosciadocera Hong, 1981: 140. Type species E. helodis Hong, 1981 (Fushun amber).
DIAGNOSIS: (from Brown, 2002, with modifications) Largest phorids, body lengths 6–7 mm; with many very large, bristlelike setae; frons narrow; 1–4 pairs frontal setae; size of basal flagellomere with little or no sexual dimorphism. Acrostichals, dorsocentrals, postoculars (even setae on tegula) large, thick macrosetae; proepisternum very bristled (10–20 setae). Branches of M 1 and M 2 tubular, not sclerotized; these veins not completely connected. Wing membrane with dense microtrichia overall; proleg stridulatum present; frontal sulcus absent.
TYPE SPECIES: E. helodis Hong, in Early Eocene amber from Fushun, China. Unfortunately, the collection of Fushun amber insects studied by Hong is lost, including the types, and additional specimens of Eosciadocera have not been found in new excavations of Fushun amber (Wang et al., 2014). It is necessary to rely on the original description.
COMMENTS: There are now three species of Eosciadocera: E. helodis in Fushun amber, E. setosa Brown in Baltic amber (fig. 15), and E. pauciseta, n. sp., also in Baltic amber (fig. 16). The flies are extraordinarily large and bristly, almost like calyptrates, and apparently very rare in Baltic amber. Brown (2002) expressed some doubt about the sciadocerine position of the genus, but later included Eosciadocera in this subfamily (Brown, 2007a). Courtesy of Christel Hoffeins, who loaned the paratype of E. setosa (CCHH 1358-1: fig. 15), I was able to observe the stridulatum in this species. There are considerable differences between the two Baltic amber Eosciadocera species (listed in the diagnosis below), but I am placing the new species in this genus given the striking similarities between the two, such as the uniquely large size and numerous, large macrosetae.

Prophora

description: Prophora, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: Proleg stridulatum present (seen in holotype specimen only); frons with well-developed median sulcus, one pair of fronto-orbital setae in both sexes; one pair of interfrontals in male, 3 pairs in female; one pair of verticals in male, two pairs in female; basal flagellomere not sexually dimorphic in size; one pair of dorsocentrals, two pairs of scutellars present; sternites well developed in male, lost in female except for terminal two sternites (7 and 8); lacking wing-vein characters of Euphorida (i.e., chars. 19–24 in table 4, fig. 43).
TYPE SPECIES: P. dimorion, n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY: Pro - (“first, before”), and - phora, common suffix for generic names in the Phoridae. The name is feminine.
COMMENTS: The possession of a sulcus on the frons and great reduction in female sternites (which occur in stem-group and many crowngroup Euphorida), but more generalized venation of the Sciadocerinae, makes the phylogenetic position of this genus apparently close to the basal fork of the two lineages.

description: An open question in \emph{Imprecise Probabilistic Machine Learning} is how to empirically derive a credal region (i.e., a closed and convex family of probabilities on the output space) from the available data, without any prior knowledge or assumption. In classification problems, credal regions are a tool that is able to provide provable guarantees under realistic assumptions by characterizing the uncertainty about the distribution of the labels. Building on previous work, we show that credal regions can be directly constructed using conformal methods. This allows us to provide a novel extension of classical conformal prediction to problems with ambiguous ground truth, that is, when the exact labels for given inputs are not exactly known. The resulting construction enjoys desirable practical and theoretical properties: (i) conformal coverage guarantees, (ii) smaller prediction sets (compared to classical conformal prediction regions) and (iii) disentanglement of uncertainty sources (epistemic, aleatoric). We empirically verify our findings on both synthetic and real datasets.

Holotype: male, SOUTH AFRICA, KwaZulu-Natal Province, Champagne Castle Hlathikulu For., 29°02'S: 29°23'E, 1550 m a.s.l., bases of grasses and ferns in forest, 20 January 2011, leg. C. Haddad (NCA 2010 / 2717).
Paratypes: same data, 2 females (NCA 2010 /2718).
Diagnosis. The species resembles E. difficilis (Simon, 1868) from the Mediterranean area but differs from it in the longer tibial apophysis and the shorter proximal lobe of the bulb. It is also similar to E. meridionalis described below, but the male is larger. It may be recognized by the presence of the outgrowth on the ventral surface of the palpal tibia, the more elongated bulb and clearly longer embolus. The structure of the epigyne resembles that in E. gracilis described below in having a knot in the distal parts of the seminal ducts, which are also longer in this species.
Etymology. The specific name is Latin, meaning sickle bearing and refers to the shape of embolus.
Description. Measurements (male/female). Cephalothorax: length 1.9/1.1, width 1.4/0.9, height 0.8/0.5. Abdomen: length 1.8/1.2, width 1.5/0.8. Eye field: length 0.8/0.4, anterior and posterior width 1.3/0.9.
Male. General appearance as in Fig. 40. Carapace oval, moderately high, dark brown, clothed in colourless and grey hairs, eye field black, with longer bristles near eyes. Clypeus low, dark. Chelicerae dark brown, with two promarginal teeth and single tooth on retromargin. Labium and endites dark, sternum black. Abdomen oval, black with pattern composed of light patches, and with a few darker chevrons posteriorly (Fig. 40), brown hairs on dorsal surface. Venter with mosaic of dark spots. Spinnerets dark. Legs dark brown, basal parts of patellae, tibiae and metatarsi orange. First pair of legs almost black. Pedipalps brown. Embolus thin, broader at base, small bump on the tibia ventrally (Figs 41–43), resembling one found in members of Chalcoscirtus.
Female. Smaller than male, slightly lighter coloured. Abdomen greyish brown with five pairs of light patches, in the second specimen the patches joined in two irregular streaks, venter yellowish. Spinnerets light. Legs greyish yellow with darker rings. Epigyne with two rounded depressions (Fig. 45). Internal structure as in Fig. 46, seminal ducts with knot in front of the inlets to spermathecae, accessory glands in spermatheca wall.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality.

Remarks. In Oliveira et al. (2018) S. hermana was mistakenly identified as Salina tristani Denis, 1931. The specimens from Brazil actually have the same morphology of S. hermana, except by m1 chaeta present in second thoracic segment, and p3p and p4 chaetae absent in third thoracic segment, differences which are probably intraspecific variations (Mari-Mutt 1987a). On the other hand, S. tristani has extra chaetae on the second thoracic segment to the first abdominal segment compared to the Brazilian specimens (see Mari-Mutt, 1987b). Thus, all records of S. tristani from Brazil (Oliveira et al. 2018) are herein transferred to S. hermana.

Prosyrphus

description: Prosyrphus, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: (male only). Extensively holoptic; arista dorsal; mouthparts small, clypeus minute; scutum and scutellum with numerous scattered setulae, two pairs of prescutellar dorsocentral setae, notopleural setae, four pairs scutellar setae. Vein r-m at level of Sc apex; M with short apical fork, M 1 not connected to R 4+5; dm and cup cells very large; alula small; spurious vein and sc-r lacking; male abdominal segments 6–8 very asymmetrical, epandrium to left side, sternite 8 terminal and bulbous.
TYPE SPECIES: P. thompsoni, n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin pro - (“first, before”), in reference to the stem-group position of the fossil among Syrphidae.
COMMENTS: Prosyrphus is a stem-group Syrphidae (fig. 51). It has a large cell bm (~⅓ length of wing), apex of CuA 1 incomplete (not reaching the wing margin), cell cup large, and male genitalia that are very asymmetrical with a bulbous, terminal sternite 8 (among other genitalic features). Based on the unique male, features of the frons (e.g., lack of macrosetae) cannot be determined. Moreover, the body is stout and short; wing shape broad and apically tapered, the body overall with few macrosetae, and the mesal surface of the pedicel has a tonguelike lobe inserted into the basal flagellomere, features consistent with many modern syrphids.
Prosyrphus lacks synapomorphies of crowngroup Syrphidae, namely: a large alula, sc-r and spurious veins, M 1 curved upward to meet R 4+5 preapically; M 2 lost (or at most a spur on the curvature of M 1). Kovalev (1979) reported a fragmentary specimen of a syrphid or syrphoid in Late Cretaceous Siberian amber, but the characters are too few for a definitive attribution, and it may no longer be available for study since many of the Siberian amber specimens at the Paleontological Institute in Moscow have disintegrated. Otherwise, Prosyrphus appears to be the most derived dipteran known from the Mesozoic, although I predict that syrphids more derived than Prosyrphus will eventually be found in the Late Cretaceous, especially in the Maastrichtian and Campanian.

Diagnosis. The species is related to E. limpopo described below. The male may be distinguished by the clearly longer embolus with a smaller basal coil. The female has an epigyne similar to that in E. falciger but differs in the position and shape of the epigynal depressions (near the posterior edge of epigyne and oval versus anteriorly and round in E. falciger) and in the shorter seminal ducts.
Etymology. The specific name is Latin, meaning slender.
Description. Measurements (male/female). Cephalothorax: length 1.9/1.8–2.0, width 1.4/1.4–1.5, height 0.7/ 0.6–0.7. Abdomen: length 2.1/2.1–2.6, width 1.5/1.6–2.1. Eye field: length 0.8/0.8, anterior width 1.2/1.2, posterior width 1.1/1.1.
Male. General appearance as in Fig. 47. Carapace oval, brown with darker eye field, black around eyes, covered with thin brown and grey hairs, some longer brown bristles near eyes. Clypeus low, dark. Sternum and mouth parts brownish, only endites with paler inner margins. Abdomen oval, brownish grey with whitish band along sides and anterior margin and wide light longitudinal streak with thin dark line medially (Fig. 47). Venter dark grey with four light lines. Dorsum of abdomen clothed in grey and brown hairs. Spinnerets grey. Legs brown, first pair darker, especially femora. Leg hairs and spines brown. Pedipalp dark, its structure as in Figs 48–50, tibial apophysis wider than in majority of congeners (Fig. 50), process on tibia ventrally.
Female. Similar to male, slightly darker coloured. Eye field shiny. Abdomen more rounded, without median streak, mottled, with pattern comprised of poorly contrasting mosaic of dark and lighter patches (bleached dorsally in one specimen). Epigyne with two large oval depressions (their edges vague) (Figs 51, 53). Seminal ducts short, with knot in front of the inlets to the spermathecae (Figs 52, 54).
Distribution. Known from south-eastern Lesotho and the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa.

description: DDO68 is a star-forming (SF) dwarf galaxy residing in a nearby void. Its gas metallicity is among the lowest known in the local Universe, with parameter 12+log(O/H) in the range of 6.96-7.3 dex. Six of its SF regions are located in or near the so-called 'Northern Ring', in which the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images reveal many luminous young stars. We present for these SF regions (Knots) the results of optical monitoring in 35 epochs during the years 2016--2023. The data was acquired with the 6m (BTA) and the 1m telescopes of the Special Astrophysical Observatory and the 2.5m telescope of the MSU Caucasian Mountain Observatory. We complement the above results with the archive data from 10 other telescopes for 11 epochs during the years 1988-2013 and with 3 our BTA observations between 2005 and 2015. Our goal is to search for variability of these Knots and to relate it to the probable light variations of their brightest stars. One of them, DDO68-V1 (in Knot 3), was identified in 2008 with a luminous blue variable (LBV) star, born in the lowest metallicity environments. For Knot 3, variations of its integrated light in the previous epochs reached ~0.8 mag. In the period since 2016, the amplitude of variations of Knot 3 reached ~0.3 mag. For the rest Knots, due to the lower amplitudes, the manifestation of variability is less pronounced. We examine the presence of variability via the criterion chi^{2} and the Robust Median Statistics and discuss the robustness of the detected variations. The variability is detected according to the both criteria in the lightcurves of all Knots with the chi^{2} confidence level of alpha = 0.0005. The peak-to-peak amplitudes of variations are ~0.09, ~0.13, ~0.11, ~0.08 and ~0.16 mag for Knots 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. The amplitudes of the related variations of the brightest supergiants in these regions can reach of ~3.0 mag.

description: Aschizomyia, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: Head lacking macrosetae, female frons pubescent; ptilinal suture absent; basal flagellomere large, tapered asymmetrically to apical point (which bears arista); scutum with numerous scattered setulae (none in rows); thorax with one pair of dorsocentral setae, one pair of of scutellars, three postalars, four notopleurals, no supraalars. Vein Sc long; apices of R 4+5 and M 1 converge closely at wing tip but do not meet; M forked, with very short stem; cells dm and cup very large. Metatibia with ventral pair short, stout apical spurs.
TYPE SPECIES: A. burmensis, n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY: Derived directly from Aschiza, and - myia (Greek, “fly”). The genus name is feminine.
COMMENTS: The phylogenetic position of the genus is equivocal (fig. 51), having features of Syrphidae and Pipunculidae but decidedly more primitive than the crown group of either. Syrphid features include a short sc-r crossvein, apex of CuA 1 incomplete, the exposed female frons being pubescent (the head lacking any macrosetae), and the alula is well developed. Aschizomyia plesiomorphically has a small cell bm; C ends at the apex of M 1 (instead of R 4+5); M is forked, and M 1 does not join R 4+5 preapically. The venation is very similar to that of Protonephrocerus, but Aschizomyia lacks all the features of the head, female terminalia, and pretarsi that characterize Pipunculidae. The large cup cell occurs in both Syrphidae and Pipunculidae, possibly convergently. It is difficult to discern whether the arista is dorsally or apically situated on the basal flagellomere, since it occurs at the apex of a narrow, pointed lobe and the flagellomere is asymmetrical, with an extensive, emarginate ventral margin. I have chosen to depict Aschizomyia, preliminarily, in a basal trichotomy with Syrphidae and Pipunculidae + Schizophora because of the equivocal morphological evidence. The lack of a ptilinum indicates that Aschizomyia is not a schizophoran, though the possibility remains that it is a stem-group one.

Paratype: NAMIBIA, Ai Ais, 27°55′S: 17°29′E, 1 male, 19 August 1981, leg. P. Selden (NHM).
Diagnosis. The male pedipalp of this species may be distinguished from those in the other African members of the genus—except E. leipoldti Peckham & Peckham, 1903 —by the large spirally coiled embolus placed parallel to the long axis of palp. It differs from E. leipoldti in having a clearly longer embolus with the tip bent onto the dorsal surface of the cymbium and by the presence of a ventral process on the tibia.
Etymology. This species is dedicated to Charles E. Griswold, eminent arachnologist, who collected the holotype.

Male. General appearance as in Fig. 55. Carapace moderately high, brown with darker eye field. Anterior eyes surrounded by small fawn scales. White hairs form wide streaks along lateral margins of carapace and two short stripes on eye field anteriorly (Fig. 56). Five long bristles on “face”: three placed below median eyes and pair above, between median and lateral eyes. Chelicerae with two promarginal teeth and single tooth on retromargin. Clypeus brown, labium, endites and sternum slightly lighter. Abdomen yellowish with median brown streak in anterior half. Dorsal surface of abdomen covered with brown and greyish hairs. Venter yellowish, book-lung covers brown. Traces of greyish patches on sides. Spinnerets light yellow. Legs light brown, only ventral surfaces of femora I tinged with black. Leg hairs light, dorsal spines of femora very long. Pedipalps brownish, clothed in dark hairs, basal segments with white hairs (Fig. 56). Segments of pedipalps short. Palpal tibia with large process on ventral surface (Figs 57, 58) and long retrolateral apophysis, embolus spirally coiled, placed parallel to long axis of palp, very long with end folded onto dorsum of cymbium (Figs 57–60).

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and infectious diseases prediction have recently experienced a common development and advancement. Machine learning (ML) apparition, along with deep learning (DL) emergence, extended many approaches against diseases apparition and their spread. And despite their outstanding results in predicting infectious diseases, conflicts appeared regarding the types of data used and how they can be studied, analyzed, and exploited using various emerging methods. This has led to some ongoing discussions in the field. This research aims not only to provide an overview of what has been accomplished, but also to highlight the difficulties related to the types of data used, and the learning methods applied for each research objective. It categorizes these contributions into three areas: predictions using Public Health Data to prevent the spread of a transmissible disease within a region; predictions using Patients' Medical Data to detect whether a person is infected by a transmissible disease; and predictions using both Public and patient medical data to estimate the extent of disease spread in a population. The paper also critically assesses the potential of AI and outlines its limitations in infectious disease management.

Bulk Motions in the Black Hole Jet Sheath as a Candidate for the Comptonizing Corona

description: Using two-dimensional general relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the properties of the sheath separating the black hole jet from the surrounding medium. We find that the electromagnetic power flowing through the jet sheath is comparable to the overall accretion power of the black hole. The sheath is an important site of energy dissipation as revealed by the copious appearance of reconnection layers and plasmoid chains. About 20% of the sheath power is dissipated between 2 and 10 gravitational radii. The plasma in the dissipative sheath moves along a nearly paraboloidal surface with trans-relativistic bulk motions dominated by the radial component, whose dimensionless 4-velocity is $\sim1.2\pm0.5$. In the frame moving with the mean (radially-dependent) velocity, the distribution of stochastic bulk motions resembles a Maxwellian with an `effective bulk temperature' of $\sim$100 keV. Scaling the global simulation to Cygnus X-1 parameters gives a rough estimate of the Thomson optical depth across the jet sheath $\sim 0.01-0.1$, and it may increase in future magnetohydrodynamic simulations with self-consistent radiative losses. These properties suggest that the dissipative jet sheath may be a viable `coronal' region, capable of upscattering seed soft photons into a hard, nonthermal tail, as seen during the hard states of X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei.
