Nola (Nola) submelanoscelis Hacker, 2012, Esperiana 17: 124. Type locality: RSA, Durban. Holotype male, in coll. ZSM.
Material examined: Mozambique, Maputo Special Reserve. 1 ♂, 15m, Ponta Milibangalala, Dune Grassland, 26°26'58.6"S, 32°55'29.8"E, 25–30.V.2017, MV Light Trap, Aristophanous, M., Laszlo, G., Miles, W., Vetina, A. leg., slide No.: LGNA 511 ♂ (coll. ANHRT).
Remark. The nominate taxon of Nola biangulata (Toulgoet, 1954) was described from Madagascar. Later, a closely related species was found in Tanzania which subsequently have been described as N. usambai Fibiger & Legrain, 2009. In his revision Hacker downgraded the taxon as subspecies of N. biangulata, and at the same time described an other closely related species N. submelanoscelis from South Africa (Hacker et al 2012). As all three taxa have nearly identical genitalia, distinguishing N. submelanoscelis on species rank is not justified, therefore it is downgraded here to subspecies rank. The distribution area of the southern African subspecies of biangulata is probably restricted to the lowland coastal bushveld-grassland of Southern Africa. N. biangulata submelanoscelis differs from the Tanzanian subspecies by its considerably darker, more brownish forewing ground colour and its considerably smaller size, as these features are also well expressed on the specimen collected in the Maputo Special Reserve. New country record for Mozambique.

Material examined: Mozambique, Maputo Special Reserve. 2 ♂, 9m, Mangrove Camp, Mangrove-Woodland Mosaic, 26°19'35.9"S, 32°42'35.7"E, 7–9.XII.2016, Light Trap, Aristophanous, M., Cristovao, J., Laszlo, G., Miles, W. leg., slide No.: LGNA 329 ♂; 1 ♂, 15m, Ponta Milibangalala, Dune Grassland, 26°26’58.6”S, 32°55’29.8”E, 25–30.V.2017, MV Light Trap, Aristophanous, M., Laszlo, G., Miles, W., Vetina, A. leg.; 2 ♀, 22m, West Gate, Sand Forest, 26°30'14.2"S, 32°42'59.6"E, 30.V.–9. VI.2017, MV Light Trap, Aristophanous, M., Laszlo, G., Miles, W., Vetina, A. leg., slide Nos: LGNA 509 ♀, LGNA 510 ♀ (coll. ANHRT, MHNM).
Remark. The species is very similar to Nola squalida Staudinger, 1870, and Nola afrotaeniata Hacker, 2012, the differences between the three species, however, are well expressed in the female genitalia (Hacker et al 2012). The concept of Hacker on the distribution of N. squalida seems to be correct considering the species being widely distributed from the West Mediterranean, throughout the Arabian peninsula towards Central Asia and the westernmost chains of the Himalayas. In the Subsaharan Africa N. squalida is replaced by its sister species N. afrotaeniata and N. politzari which are two evidently different species due to their female genitalia. The males are, however not distinguishable displaying in all three species the typical squalida -like genitalia configuration. Thus, it can be declared, that only the female specimens of the species group can satisfactorily be identified. The female specimens collected in the Maputo Special Reserve are identical in genitalia with the holotype of N. politzari described from Burkina Faso, thus the squalida -like species from South Mozambique is identified here as N. politzari, new country record for Mozambique representing the southernmost occurrence of the species known to date. Nevertheless it cannot be excluded, that N. afrotaeniata also occurs in South Mozambique.

This species was originally described from Crete, where it was repeatedly recorded again, partly in large numbers (ASSING 2004b, 2013a, 2015a). The species was subsequently reported from West Anatolia (ANLAŞ & TEZCAN 2008), but this record appears highly doubtful and requires confirmation. For the time being, P. creticus is considered an endemic of Crete.

Phloeocharis subtilissima var. hummleri BERNHAUER, 1915: 69; syn. nov.
Phloeocharis hummleri was originally described as a variety of P. subtilissima, based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “Kreta” (BERNHAUER 1915). According to the original description, it is distinguished from P. subtilissima only by longer elytra and the presence of a palisade fringe at the posterior margin of the abdominal tergite VII. SCHEERPELTZ (1931) regarded the taxon as a distinct species. An examination of recently collected material (including a male) from Crete, which is in perfect agreement with the original description of P. hummleri, revealed that it is conspecific with P. longipennis FAUVEL, 1875. Since there is little doubt that the same is true of the type material of P. hummleri, this name is placed in synonymy with P. longipennis. The previously known distribution of P. longipennis ranged from the Greek Aegean islands Lesbos and Samos across Turkey to the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Israel) (ASSING 2004c, 2005c, SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). The record of P. hummleri from Hungary by TÓTH (1982) most likely refers to P. subtilissima MANNERHEIM, 1830.

Remark. The species was described in the genus Nola, nevertheless Hacker et al (2012) correctly refer the species as Nolidia, although the new combination is not indicated in the publication. The same work illustrates only a drawing of the male genitalia having been copied from the original description of the species and refers the female genitalia as undescribed. As both sexes were collected in the Maputo Special Reserve, photos of male and female genitalia are published here for the first time (Figs 49, 69). New country record for Mozambique.

Mecothrix Hacker, 2012, Esperiana 17: 145. Type species: Nola poliophasma Fletcher, 1958.
Taxonomic notes. The genus Nola Leach, 1815 has several hundreds of species distributed worldwide. The most important diagnostic characters of the genus is the deeply cleft bilobate valva, and the lacking of uncus, while the also species rich African taxon Mecothrix Hacker, 2012 has completely different valval structure (broad, uncleft or just slightly concave apically, weakly sclerotized with membraneous costal margin), a special feature of the pair of dense, extraordinarily long, easily removeable androconial hair-tufts arising from a pocket-like lateral extension of vinculum, in addition the very unique single, large, needle- or robust thorn-like cornutus of the vesica. In the female genitalia morphology, species of the genus Nola display quite large diversity but in general have longer and predominantly membraneous ductus bursae only with shorter sections of heavier sclerotization or dilation, whereas the females of Mecothrix have significantly stronger and, in most cases much longer sclerotization of ductus bursae, in addition the pair of elongate, finger-, or claw-like signum bursae of Mecothrix species is also characteristic for the genus. As the extent of the differences in the ground plan of the genital morphology between Nola Leach, 1815 and the recently established subgenus Mecothrix Hacker, 2012 is so substantial, distinguishing Mecothrix as a distinct genus is fully justified.

description: The Risk Amplification Macro Model (RAMM) is a new nonlinear two-country dynamic model that captures rare but severe adverse shocks. Tail risk arises from heightened financial stress abroad or in Canada that triggers a regime change with a negative feedback loop to the real economy. We rely on a combination of sign, zero and elasticity restrictions to identify structural shocks. The foreign block (global and US variables) impacts the domestic block (a large number of Canadian macrofinancial variables), but not vice-versa. Simulations suggest that tighter financial conditions in the United States can spill over to Canada, and a regime change in macrofinancial elasticities provides a good replication of economic downturns. The RAMM can be used to assess the financial stability implications of both domestic and foreign-originated risk scenarios.
description: Le modèle macroéconomique d’amplification des risques (modèle RAMM) est un nouveau modèle dynamique non linéaire à deux pays qui rend compte de chocs négatifs rares, mais graves. Les risques extrêmes découlent de tensions financières accrues à l’étranger ou au Canada, lesquelles déclenchent un changement de régime ayant un effet de rétroaction négatif sur l’économie réelle. Nous comptons sur une combinaison de contraintes de signe, de nullité et d’élasticité pour cerner les chocs structurels. Le bloc de variables étrangères (mondiales et américaines) a une incidence sur le bloc de variables intérieures (un grand nombre de variables macrofinancières canadiennes), mais pas l’inverse. Des simulations donnent à penser qu’un resserrement des conditions financières aux États-Unis peut se répercuter sur le Canada, et qu’un changement de régime (et donc des « élasticités macrofinancières ») reproduit bien les ralentissements économiques. Le modèle RAMM peut être utilisé pour évaluer les implications de scénarios de risques d’origine intérieure ou étrangère pour la stabilité financière.

description: Summary:This research addresses the topic of (grammatical philosophy inclassifying the functional parts in the structures and structures of thephilosophy, classification, functionalism, tools, signtopic. It is based on what came from grammatical-philosophical studieson the functional characteristics of independent and non-independentlinguistic parts, which are called tools or signs in The structures andstructures of the Arabic language, and what is known as grammaticaland syntactic signs and their letters in the words and structures of theArabic language. What is known as the grammatical and syntactic signsand their letters in the words and structures of the Arabic language. Oneof the objectives of the research is to clarify the philosophical concept offunctional parts in the Arabic language, analyze the variousphilosophical classifications of functional parts between tools and signs,and highlight the philosophical aspects affecting this classification.Which helps to know the worker and non-worker, and to know whetherhe is the worker or the effect of the worker. Explaining the types of signsin the Arabic language, in terms of their division into grammatical signs(parsing and syntactic signs), morphological signs (numerical, gender,and temporal), and verbal derivational signs (subjective, object,exaggeration, superlative, and simile). I followed the descriptive andanalytical approach in dealing with the individuals of the phenomenonunder study, and the comparative approach in comparing the doctrinesof the Basra and Kufan grammarians regarding its essence. The studywas divided into two sections, the first on the grammatical-philosophicalconcept of the essence of the sign, and the second on the grammatical-philosophical concept of the end of the tool. Then came the conclusionin the results of the study, which showed the role of grammaticalphilosophy and its differences in clarifying the nature of the functionalparts, in the specialty of each of the tools and signs with meanings thatdistinguish them from others, and the participation of tools and signs inmeanings that are granted by the unity of description (the scientific term),and the way out of this classification distinction. By applying the term(letters) to both types.

Remark. The species was described from Madagascar and considered to be endemic to the island. Its occurrence in South Mozambique is rather surprising, although it is worth noting that not all species which were found first in Madagascar are necessarily endemic to the island. Despite of a thorough study of the external and genital morphology of the specimens collected in the Maputo Special Reserve no significant difference was found in comparison with the Madagascan specimens. The most important diagnostic character in the species group is the configuration of the robust cornutus of vesica which was found to be completely identical in all Mozambican and Madagascan specimens. New country record for Mozambique.
