description: Ischnocerus bicinctus Walker, 1874
Taxonomic history. No taxonomic changes after the original description.
Current taxonomy. Ischnoceros bicinctus Walker, 1874 (Ichneumonidae: Xoridinae?).
Condition. Lost.
Remarks. Morley (1913b) and Townes et al. (1965) reported that the type of Ischnoceros bicinctus is lost. We have also failed to find the holotype female in NHMUK. Walker’s original description of this species is insufficient to identify the species.

Material examined
Female and deutonymph (RASP 9) from Asio otus L. (Strigiformes: Strigidae), Denmark, Ravnholt, country road outside the city (55° 32' 28.1" N, 9° 15' 05.0" E), 22 February 2022, bird collected by Ken Alminde.
Type locality Russia, Ryazanskaya Obl., Brikin Bor.
Distribution
Russia (Butenko 1976), Canada (Knee et al. 2008; Knee and Galloway 2017), Denmark (this study).
Type host Asio otus (Strigiformes: Strigidae).
Our record represents the first finding of Rhinoecius brikinboricus in Western Europe. Hitherto, R. brikinboricus has been reported from Canada and Russia. It is closely related to R. oti Cooreman, 1946, which is known from Asio otus from Belgium. According to Butenko (1984), R. brikinboricus can be distinguished from R. oti by the bell-shaped podosomal shield, its greater length, and the location of setae j6 on the surface of the podosomal shield.

(Figure 43)
Taxonomic history. Morley (1913b) suggested that L. semistriata is related to or a synonym of Earinus gloriatorius (Panzer, 1809). Townes (1961) transferred this species to Agathis, and Sharkey (1996) then to Bassus Fabricius, 1804.
Taxonomy. We propose a new combination, Therophilus semistriatus (Walker, 1874) comb. nov., based on recent work splitting the old concept of Bassus (which is now restricted to a few species; e.g. Sharkey and Chapman (2015)).
Current taxonomy. Therophilus semistriatus (Walker, 1874) comb. nov. (Braconidae: Agathidinae).
Type number. Type 3c.902. Specimen # NHMUK010881036
Type status. Holotype.
Sex. Female.
Type locality. Japan.

description: Funerary pseudo-vessels are repositories of ancestral souls; they carry not only messages from the living to the dead, but also provisions – both spiritual and material – for the deceased. Jenné (Djenné) globular terracotta pseudo-vessels (13-16th centuries CE) are snake-ornamented spheroids which modern Dogon informants have interpreted as rice and millet granaries. One specimen was indeed found to contain rice grains and boiled millet, suggesting that the globular pots may have been grave goods that contained food offerings for use in the afterlife.

description: Taxonomic note: O. rammei Harz, 1973 syn. nov. was described from Rijeka or hills above Rijeka (Kvarner or the Dinaric Alps) by Harz (1973). Since then, the species has not been recorded and no studies aiming to assess its identity and/or distribution have been conducted. According to our morphological studies on the populations of O. fallax / O. rammei syn. nov. from seven different localities in Croatia and after examination of the type material of both species, we found: 1) no differences in external morphology exist between the species, while the shape of genitalia varies equally in all examined populations, differences reported by Harz (1973) being of no diagnostic value; 2) no differences exist in morphometric traits between the species, especially in vertex width/eye width ratio, used by Harz (1973) as a diagnostic trait—measurements taken from altogether 48 specimens (including holotypes of both species, two paratypes of O. rammei syn. nov. and an allotype of O. fallax) indicated only sexual dimorphism-related size differences in the sample (females being on average larger); 3) preliminary molecular analysis on freshly collected specimens resulted in a single monophyletic cluster without separation of subordinate evolutionary units (Skejo, Rebrina, Tvrtković—fieldwork and morphological study, L. Lovrenčić—molecular study, unpublished data). No geographical, morphological or molecular evidence imply separation of O. rammei syn. nov. from O. fallax, hence we regard it a junior synonym of O. fallax. Within-species variability of genitalia shape, along with the small size of existing series, were likely responsible for its separation from the latter species. 62.

Xenobiotics in fish; uses of fish and fisherman monitoring data for public policy and public health decisions

Year: 1983

description: In New Jersey the Office of Science and Research (OSR) within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has been collecting and analyzing fish for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and selected organochloride pesticides  for the past seven years. The impetus for this effort was the findings of extensive environmental contamination by PCBs in the Hudson River to the north of New Jersey and Kepone in the James River and Chesapeake Bay area to the south. The program objectives were much more aligned with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) than the other regulatory agencies. In keeping with this objective, it was decided to analyze only edible fillets of all fish caught,  assuming that this would be a more appropriate indicator of health risk to New Jersey's consumers. This paper will present the data associated with these bioaccumulation  studies and the preliminary results from attempts to bridge the environmental sciences with the social sciences through the fisherman study and its implications for future public policy concerning the education of the consumer, public-health risk and resource utilization.

First faunistic record for Croatia: this study
Also reported as: Pezotettix salamandra Fischer, 1853 [partim] (Padewieth 1900)
Distribution in Croatia: Only two female specimens known from a single locality in the Dinaric Alps—Krivi Put (Velika Kapela Mt.), collected at the end of the XIX. century by Padewieth (= F. Dobijaš).
Taxonomic note: Two females deposited in the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb have their tegmina cut off, which was ascertained after careful examination of the specimens under stereomicroscope. Remains of the basal portions of reddish tegmina are clearly visible. The specimens are labeled ‘ Pezotettix salamandra ’ and were later published under that name (Padewieth 1900). We do not have any information about other Padewieth’s ‘P. salamadra’ material. The species is characterized by bilobate subgenital plate with a deep apical excision, similar to that of O. montana Kis, 1962, but without black markings.

(Figure 46)
Taxonomic history. Morley (1913b) synonymised this species under Exolytus laevigatus (Gravenhorst, 1820), with Exolytus Holmgren, 1859 since synonymised with Mesoleptus Gravenhorst, 1829.
Taxonomy. Jussila et al. (2010) synonymised many names in Mesoleptus (particularly those by Förster) under M. laticinctus. Jussila et al. (2010) partly characterised Mesoleptus laticinctus by the distinctive ‘tooth-like’ tyloids on the male antenna. The holotype male of M. laticinctus has tyloids of a different shape (Figure 46 (j,k)) and this clearly represents a different species to the European specimens identified as Mesoleptus laticinctus by Jussila et al. (2010). The valid name for the European species should be Mesoleptus angustulus (Förster, 1876) stat. rev., as has been used previously. Förster (1876) published many names in the same publication that are regarded as synonymous by Jussila et al. (2010), so we make a first reviser choice of M. angustulus stat. rev. as the senior synonym, in accordance with older identifications in collections.
Current taxonomy. Mesoleptus laticinctus (Walker, 1874) (Ichneumonidae: Phygadeuontinae).
Type number. Type 3b.411. Specimen # NHMUK010634932
Type status. Holotype.
Sex. Male.
Type locality. Japan.
Label data. First label, ‘Type’ (round label, with red margin; printed); second label, ‘B.M. TYPE /HYM./3.b.411’ (square label; first and second lines printed and third line handwriting); third label, ‘ Japan./Coll.F. Walker./ 1913–71.’ (square label; printed); fourth label, ‘262’ (square label; handwriting); fifth label, ‘ Mesostenus 3/laticinctus’ (square label; handwriting); sixth label, ‘ Exolytus /laevigatus, gr./Morley det.’ (square label; first and second lines handwriting and third line printed).
Condition. Good; both antennae medially broken and apical flagellomeres glued to card; fourth and fifth tarsomeres of left mid leg and left hind tarsus lost.
Remarks. A key to two Japanese species and M. laevigatus was provided by Momoi (1966).

First faunistic record for Croatia: Fischer 1853
Distribution in Croatia: Nominal subspecies only. Not common, found in isolated localities in the Dinaric Alps and possibly Pannonian mountains (a record by Jurinac 1887a needs to be checked). A specimen labeled 'Dalmatia: Split' from Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest (Puskás et al. 2018) was probably caught in the surrounding Dinaric Alps.
Distribution in Europe: Disjunct distribution with the southern range extending from the Pyrenean mountains across the Alps and the lower mountain areas of Central Europe into the Balkans, reaching the Black Sea. The northern range covers Scandinavia, Finland and Northwestern Russia. Two range-restricted subspecies inhabit the Italian Alps (P. p. caprai in the Alpi Finestre in Piemonte and P. p. nadigi in the Northeastern Trentino). Apart from the Alps, occurrences are often isolated and separated by vast uninhabited areas (Zuna-Kratky et al. 2016).

Separation of Colloidal Particles from Groundwater by Cross-Flow Electro-Filtration Process for Improving the Analysis of Lead - Year 3
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Division of Science, Research and Technology (DSRT)
Year: 2004

description: The major goal of this research project was to develop an innovative solid-liquid separation technique for the determination of heavy metal in groundwater exemplified by lead. The technique should be capable of separating the naturally occurring colloids into several size fractions with ease. The following were specific objectives: 1) to design and operate a crossflow electro-filtration (CFEF) process for the separation of naturally occurring colloids from the groundwater. An instrument based on the principle of cross-flow electro-filtration process was to be constructed and operated. The CFEF unit will eliminate all problems associated with conventional dead-end filtration process; 2) to study the major factors controlling the operation of the crossflow electrofiltration process. Factors such as filtration rate, applied field strength,  influent water quality; membrane type and characteristics that may affect the performance of the CFEF unit were to be evaluated. Performance of the CFEF process were to be assessed in terms of effluent quality, rejection, flux rate, and backwash; 3) to study the use of the crossflow electrofiltration (CFEF) as a means to improve lead determination in the groundwater. The effectiveness of the CFEF process on the speciation of lead in groundwater was to be compared with low-flow-purging technique and conventional bailer sampling method.

description: 66. Acrotylus insubricus (Scopoli, 1786) = debelonogi pješčarski skakavac
First faunistic record for Croatia: Pungur 1899
Distribution in Croatia: Nominal subspecies only. Confirmed in a few localities in the Pannonian region (Đurđevački peski). Older records from the coastal area (e.g. Baccetti & Capra 1988, Sombke & Schlegel 2007) should be revised in the future.
Also reported as: A. patruelis (see comments under A. patruelis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838)), Acrotylus versicolor Burr, 1898 [partim?] (Werner 1920)
Distribution in Europe: in the southern and central part of Europe and on the Canary Islands (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
Identification and distribution note: Novak (1888) and Karny (1907) denied the presence of A. insubricus on the coast, regarding only A. patruelis to be present in the coastal area. The species is easily misidentified with A. patruelis if the identification is based only on alae coloration (used in most keys). Black band on the hind wings is highly variable and there are overlaps in coloration between the two species. On the other hand, arolium morphology is a reliable diagnostic character—it is slender and 1/3 as long as tarsal claws in A. insubricus, while robust and 1/2 as long as tarsal claws in A. patruelis. Furthermore, A. patruelis has slender hind femora, while they are robust in A. insubricus (a character helpful for discrimination, but not used in available keys). We confirmed the presence of both species in Croatia.
