Pachynolophus

description: Genus Pachynolophus Pomel, 1847
TYPE SPECIES. — Pachynolophus duvali Pomel, 1847 by original designation.
INCLUDED SPECIES. — Pa. cesserasicus Gervais, 1849; Pa. cayluxi (Filhol, 1888); Pa. livinierensis Savage, Russell & Louis, 1965; Pa. garimondi Remy, 1967; Pa. boixedatensis Crusafont & Remy, 1970; Pa. lavocati Remy, 1972; Pa. bretovensis Remy, 1988; Pa. molipontiensis Checa-Soler, 1994; Pa. zambranensis Badiola, Pereda-Suberbiola & Cuesta, 2005; Pa. eulaliensis Danilo, Remy, Vianey-Liaud, Marandat, Sudre & Lihoreau, 2013; Pa. gaytei Remy, 2015.
EXCLUDED SPECIES. — Pachynolophus hookeri Hooker, 1994 (synonym of Cymbalophus hookeri Godinot, 1987; see Danilo et al. 2013).
EMENDED DIAGNOSIS (after Danilo et al. 2013). — Small brachyodont equoids; nasal notch opening above the postcanine diastema, close to canine; confluent foramen ovale and middle lacerate foramen. Usually rather long DPC. Virtually complete set of cheek teeth with occasional lost of P1/ 1 in old individuals. Less bunodont dentition than in hyracotheres, up to fully lophodont. Mesostyle missing on upper molars, sometimes replaced by a “pseudomesostyle”. Fairly developed conules. Generally weak cingula, less continuous and less high than in hyracotheres, phyletically tending to fade; the labial one frequently interrupted at paracone on upper molars. Non-molariform premolars with phylogenetic trend toward a reduction of their area relatively to molars. P3/-P4/ devoid of hypocone. Postero-lingual expansion of the distal outline of P4/ in some species. Twinned metaconid on lower molars. Large hypoconulid basin on M/3, with labial cristid of hypoconulid directed from entoconid to mid hypolophid. P/3-P/4 devoid of entoconid.
NOTE
Occasional absence of the first premolar on some specimens (e.g. FSL 3038 [Pa. livinierensis], ICP 3070 [Pa. boixedatensis]) could be ontogenetic in origin. This phenomenon was also observed in the genus Plagiolophus that bears relatively short premolar series like Pachynolophus (Remy 2004: 123). Indeed, many specimens of various Pachynolophus species retain their P1/1, what may be the original condition (e.g. Pa. cesserasicus FSL 2977, Pa. duvali MNHN CGR-82, Pa. lavocati MNHN Qu-7371, Pa. eulaliensis UM-SEL 45, SEL 88, SEL 05, an unpublished skull of Pa. livinierensis in the Vidalenc’ coll.).

(Figs 9, 22)
Stigmothrips nilgiriensis Ananthakrishnan, 1971: 177.
Described from 25 females and 13 males, two of the original females have been studied and are listed below. It is a dark brown species (Fig. 9), with the head relatively elongate (Fig. 22). Antennal segment III has 3 sensoria, and segment IV has 4. This species shares some character states with darwini, but the femora are brown, the postocular setae pointed to blunt, the notopleural sutures incomplete, the fore wing sub-basal setae S3 pointed, and the major setae on tergite IX pointed and almost as long as the tube. In contrast, the original illustration indicates widely complete notopleural sutures.
Specimens examined. INDIA, Ooty, 2 females from dry fern, 5.vii.1970, T.N. Ananthakrishnan; Davikulam, 1 female from dry fern, 9.ix.1970, T.N. Ananthakrishnan (UMIC).

Described from 10 females collected from dry leaves and twigs in Tripura, eastern India, this species was compared to Stigmothrips consimilis, a species now placed in Apelaunothrips. However, the pronotal notopleural sutures were illustrated as incomplete, and the generic position adopted here is presumably correct. Dr Kaomud Tyagi kindly informed us that there are 10 paratypes in the collections of the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, and that these all have three sensoria on antennal segment III and four sensoria on segment IV. This is a brown species, with the femora described as “golden yellow with brownish shade” the fore and hind tibiae yellow but the mid tibiae shaded brown.

Two specimens have been examined from the original type series of 41 females and 23 males. These specimens clearly show that the notopleural sutures are not complete, despite being indicated as fully complete in the original illustration. The description did not mention the number of antennal sensoria, but there are two on III and three on IV, and although segment III is mainly yellow it is shaded light brown on the apical half, and the basal stem is very weakly shaded grey rather than clear yellow.
Specimens examined. INDIA, Kodaikanal, 1 female, 1 male from dry fern, 4.viii.1970, T.N. Ananthakrishnan No. 479 (BMNH).

(Figs 1, 4 a–e)
Description. Ground color (Figs 4 a–e) beige, eyes grey, lower midline of frontoclypeal area and anteclypeus infuscated, basal triangles of mesonotum dark, forewing with brown longitudinal stripe near outer margin. Pronotum with reticulate sculpture. Head narrower than pronotum, coronal suture distinct; anteclypeus much wider than in type species. Brown stripe on forewing lightened apically.
Pygofer side (Fig. 1a) with 2 distinct processes and 2 small protrusions on lower margin, upper process extended from outer surface, lower process on inner edge, larger than upper one, 2 lowest protrusions very close to each other. Subgenital plate (Figs 1a, b) with 2 macrosetae in central part, near outer margin, base of plate with two enlarged macrosetae, with more microsetae on ventral side but marginal microsetae greatly reduced. Style (Fig. 1c) with apical part thickened and slightly serrated subapically, preapical lobe small, near midlength. Connective (Fig. 1d) without central lobe. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 1e, f) with lateral lamella broad, rectangular, with paired processes extended from lower apical angle, process 3-branched, antler-like; dorsal apodeme long; gonopore near shaft midlength.
Diagnosis. The new species can be easily distinguished from the type species by the presence of marginal macrosetae in the central part of the subgenital plate and the 3-branched apical processes of the aedeagal shaft. The pygofer lobe of the new species is also longer and the style is thicker apically.
Measurement. Male length 4.6mm.
Material examined. Holotype ³, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, Morobe, Tekadu, 7°38'S, 146°34'E, 01–20 iv 2000, Malaise trap, coll. T. Sears & Binatung Brigade (UCD).
Etymology. The new specific epithet is derived from the Latin adjective “ latus ” which means “broad”, referring to the broad lateral lamella of the aedeagal shaft.

title: The Role of Field Dependence and Independence in Visual Search

description: Research has shown that individuals are faster at searching for the presence of features in displays than the absence of features. The present study was designed to examine whether differences in the ability to search for the presence and absence of features are moderated by differences in the ability of individuals to perceive separate parts of the visual field as distinct from the background (field dependence/independence). In addition, spatial ability was examined to assess its relationship to field independency. Participants were administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) and were divided into field dependent and field independent groups based on their GEFT scores. They then searched displays for targets that contained or did not contain a specific feature. It was hypothesized that field independent as opposed to field dependent individuals would have faster search times for targets that lack a feature because of more efficient serial processing mechanisms. The results showed that searches for targets containing the feature required significantly less time than targets that lacked the feature. There was also a trend for faster response times to feature absent targets among field independent individuals; however, this finding did not reach significance. Furthermore, field independency was found to be positively associated with spatial ability. These findings may have implications for selection processes that concern serial processing tasks. If efficient visual search is desired under conditions that warrant serial search mechanisms, identification of individuals who can search more quickly during effortful processing may be optimal. The WAIS may be useful for identifying individuals who perform visual search tasks more efficiently when serial processing is required.
