Material examined. Socotra, Di Lisha 4.IV.2008, B.Massa on Croton sp. (13); Ra’s Shoab 6.IV.2008, B.Massa (1Ƥ); Wadi Zerig 8.IV.2008, B.Massa (13); Wadi Ayev 20.II.2009, P.Lo Cascio & F.Griti (1Ƥ).
Remarks. The typical pattern of the pronotum with two dark bands in the middle of the pronotum (Figs. 1, 2) and microscopic stridulatory ridges, covered by setae, along the sides of the 2nd and 3rd terga consent to ascribe them to G. pileatus. Types (1 male and 2 females) came from Ra’s Shoab (Krauss 1907), and according to Uvarov and Popov (1957) and Wranik (2003) it appears a rare species, known on the area of airport and Hadibou plain. The ovipositor is very thick, with an evident central furrow along its upper side (Figs. 3, 5); the subgenital plate is provided with an arc-like swelling (Figs. 4, 6). This species, lacking of scale-like tegmina, is possibly more related to G. capitatus Uvarov, 1957 than to G. mediopictus Uvarov, 1957. It shares with the latter the presence of stridulatory ridges, lacking in the former; conversely, the ovipositor of G. mediopictus (Fig. 7) and the general structure of the body are weaker than those of G. pileatus.

Types. Holotype worker, Inglewood Flora Reserve, 36°32'25"S 143°51'47"E, approximately 4 km north of Inglewood, Victoria, (Museum Victoria, examined); one paratype worker, Wehla State Forest, 36°38'49"S 143°36'35"E, approximately 24 km WSW of Inglewood, Victoria (Australian National Insect Collection, examined).
Comments. This species is immediately recognisable by the presence of well developed longitudinal rugae on the dorsum of the head and mesosoma. It is still only known from type material.

Material examined. Socotra, Wadi Ayev 10.IV.2008, B.Massa & A.Carapezza on Croton sp. (1Ƥ; 13, 1Ƥ subad. nymphs).
Remarks. It is considered quite common (Wranik 2003). Antennae of this species are exceptionally long, up to three times of the body length. The ovipositor is much compressed along all its length (Fig. 7) and appears structurally much different from that of G. pileatus. Stridulatory ridges are much more evident than those of G. pileatus.

Material examined. Socotra, Wadi Zerig 8.IV.2008, B.Massa (43, 3Ƥ, 1 nymph) (33, 2Ƥ in coll. H.Devriese).
Remarks. Krauss (1907) reported Paratettix scaber (Thunberg, 1815) from Socotra, but subsequently other authors did not identify Socotran specimens because of the difficulty in understanding the taxonomy of African Paratettix (see Uvarov & Popov 1957, who reported Paratettix sp. on Hadibou plain). Specimens here listed have been identified by Hendrik Devriese, who sent me the following considerations: “this is a very common species in Africa, but its status is not yet very clear. Indeed, this species, that was called Paratettix scaber by the late K.Günther in his revision of the African fauna, belongs to a complex of forms with a very high variability. In Paratettix, they are characterized by a frontal costa that is extending only slightly before the eyes and by unbanded tibia of the hind legs. There are at least three good species in the group: the real Paratettix scaber, which is restricted to the high grounds and mountains of Southern Africa, Paratettix royi (Günther, 1979), which occurs in Western Africa and Paratettix subpustulatus. Probably the Asiatic Paratettix histricus (Stål, 1861), sometimes placed in Euparatettix, belongs to the same group. The status of another taxon, Paratettix cinereus Bolivar, 1887 from Madagascar, is not clear. There are also animals with a short pronotum on the high mountanis of Eastern Africa (Paratettix ruwenzoricus Rehn, 1914) of which it is not yet known if they are a separate species or a brachypronotal form of Paratettix subpustulatus. After having studied several hundred specimens from numerous places, I have concluded provisionally that Parattetix subpustulatus is a very variable and widespread species. There are populations with very small animals, like specimens from Socotra, and I have seen others from the Seychelles. Perhaps, the island populations have small specimens, but I have also seen small ones from some regions in Africa, and on Bioko, on the contrary, they are big. All this has to be analyzed by other methods (molecular or enzym analysis) before a definite conclusion can be drawn” (H. Devriese, pers. comm.).

Types. Holotype worker, Trial Bay, New South Wales (Australian National Insect Collection, examined).
Comments. A second specimen of this species was recently (November, 2003) collected in Brisbane by Chris Burwell of the Queensland Museum (pers. comm.). He hand collected the specimen at night, apparently from a tree trunk (although the specific collecting details were not recorded). This nocturnal habit, combined with its likely arboreal foraging and nesting, helps explain why these ants are so infrequently encountered. See below for notes on separating this species from the similar P. greavesi.

Types. Holotype worker, Clohesy River, near Mareeba, Queensland, 15 June 1937, T. Greaves (Australian National Insect Collection).
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from others in this genus by the absence of distinct sculpturing on the dorsum of the head, the broadly concave posterior face of the postpetiole and in having the area between humeral angles flat. This is also the northernmost species known in this genus.
Description. Total length 3.4 mm; maximum head length 0.81 mm; maximum head width (behind eyes) 0.73 mm; maximum diameter of eye 0.20 mm; scape length 0.60 mm; cephalic index (HW/HLx100) 90; scape index (SL/HWx100) 82; width across pronotal humeri 0.55 mm; Weber’s length of mesosoma 1.07 mm; dorsal petiole width 0.19 mm; maximum petiole height 0.36 mm; dorsal postpetiole width 0.21 mm; maximum postpetiole height 0.28 mm. Head capsule (Fig. 5) shiny, with a very fine network of microsculpture. Dorsal surface of mesosoma (Fig. 6) with weak longitudinal rugae which are more abundant laterally, absent centrally, underlying surface with indistinct, irregular weakly formed punctations. Lateral regions of mesosoma similar to dorsal surface but with longitudinal rugae shorter and less well defined. Petiole and postpetiole with smooth and weakly sculptured areas. Gaster smooth, shiny and with microreticulate sculpturing. Entire body covered with suberect, bluntly pointed hairs (those on gaster narrowly pointed rather than blunt). Colour chestnut-brown, dorsal areas slightly darker, lateral areas slightly lighter.
Comments. This species is known from a single specimen collected in 1937 by Tom Greaves. Despite extensive collecting in the area since this species has yet to be found again. As with other species in this genus, this is likely caused by its arboreal and nocturnal habits.

Material examined: 2 ♀♀, in 70% ethanol, BPOT Station MT55 R 1,278 m depth,2011,state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, 36°54′24.68″W, 04°34′24.26″S (MOUFPE 15958); 2♀♀,in 70% ethanol, BPOT Station MT55 R 2,283 m depth, 2011, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, 36°54′24.68″W, 04°34′24.26″S (MOUFPE 20007).
Distribution and bathymetric range: The species has previously been found off the coast of the states of Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Andrade & Senna, 2020a) between 25 and 128 m depth. Here we report it for the continental slope of the state of Rio Grande do Norte at 278 and 283 m depth.
Remarks: This species was recently described with material from off the coasts of the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. The individuals found here agree with its original description although some subtle differences can be noticed such as setation patterns. This is the deepest and northernmost record of the species and its first record to northeastern Brazil.

Remarks. Uvarov and Popov (1957) reported from Socotra P. cognata Krauss, 1877. However, according to Hsiung and Mc Kevan (1975), while the subspecies P. conica kurii Hsiung et Mc Kevan, 1975 occurs on the islet of Abd-el-Kuri (not far from Socotra), on Socotra a species to be assigned to P. conica tereticornis, but characterized by a very long head, occurs. Compared with long series of African specimens, those above listed are characterized by a very small size. Its presence on Dacsa Is. was previously unrecorded.

Exploring the Words relating to People and Places in the Correspondence of two British Women Travellers
Creators: name: Ditifeci, Francesca
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2024

description: This study focuses on the language used by two British women travellers in their letters – Lady Lucie Duff Gordon in Letters from Egypt (1865), Lady Hilda Petrie in Letters from the Desert (1942). Lexical keywords are analysed in order to compare and contrast the authors’ attitude towards Egyptian people and places, and assess whether and to what extent any shift in point of view can be seen as an expression of the changed socio-historical context and/or it also involves the authors’ attitude in their role as women explorers. The article combines quantitative and qualitative analysis of epistolary discourse, with special attention to the presence (vis-à-vis absence of) evaluative language (Hunston and Thomson 2000). The data suggest different ways of looking at Egyptian people and places. Particularly, whereas Duff Gordon seems very interested in the region she has settled in and particularly in its inhabitants, Petrie seems to be predominantly interested in reporting about places seen as archaeological sites.
