description: Las muestras de regolito y rocas traídas a la Tierra por las misiones Apolo, unos 285 kg, han sido estudiadas durante décadas y han servido como patrón para fabricar materiales similares que pudieran utilizarse para simular las propiedades geotécnicas de los suelos lunares. En la actualidad existen multitud de simulantes lunares, cada uno de ellos con características análogas a diferentes zonas de los suelos lunares. Dadas las misiones proyectadas a la Luna en los próximos años, es necesario disponer de simulantes que puedan utilizarse para investigar diferentes áreas, desde la construcción o abrasión de materiales hasta la extracción de oxígeno o los cultivos. En este punto, el ICTEA vio la necesidad de contar con un simulante de producción propia para investigar en diversas áreas dentro de las líneas de investigación actuales. La proximidad de varios afloramientos basálticos de los que se disponía de caracterización previa facilitó el desarrollo de este nuevo simulante denominado ICTEA-01. La fabricación de este material permite investigar en diversos aspectos cruciales para el aprovechamiento in situ de los recursos. En este trabajo se describirá el procedimiento seguido para la caracterización de potenciales materias primas para su producción y en base a los resultados obtenidos las características del simulante ICTEA 01

description: Genus Megalotomus Fieber, 1860
Megalotomus Fieber, 1860: 58. Type species by subsequent designation (Oshanin, 1912: 24): Alydus limbatus Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835 (= Cimex junceus Scopoli, 1763). Ghauri, 1972: 285–287; Hsiao, 1977: 276–277; Nonnaizab, et al., 1986: 305–313; Moulet, 1995: 272–273; Liu & Liu, 1998: 41–43; Dolling, 2006: 38.
Huphus Mulsant & Rey, 1870: 157–158 (Synonymized by Puton, 1872: 311). Type species by subsequent designation (Kerzhner, 2003: 103): Alydus sareptanus Baerensprung, 1859 (= Alydus ornaticeps Stål, 1858).
Diagnosis. Megalotomus differs from other genera of the family Alydidae by the combination of the following characters: body slender, small to large sized, body length range 10.0–17.0 mm, body colour from yellow to black; head almost triangular, slightly narrower than pronotum; antennal segment I longer than or equal length to segment II; posterior angles of pronotum prominent, slightly raised, always pointed; femur and tibiae straight with no curving, tibiae longer than femur, femora with 3–8 spines, inner surface with plectrum; genital capsule with a pair of surcapsular spines, never crossing over, parameres elongate, slender and curved; posterior margin of female abdominal sternite VII split longitudinally in middle [valid only if specimens of female Megalotomus quinquespinosus (Say, 1825) are examined and confirmed].
Distribution and diversity. This genus is distributed in the Palaearctic and Nearctic Regions, and according to the literature (Dolling 2006) and the results presented herein contains eight species: Megalotomus junceus (Scopoli, 1763); Megalotomus quinquespinosus (Say, 1825); Megalotomus ornaticeps (Stål, 1858); Megalotomus costalis Stål, 1873; Megalotomus castaneus Reuter, 1888; Megalotomus angulus (Hsiao, 1965); Megalotomus zaitzevi Kerzhner, 1972; Megalotomus acutulus Liu & Liu, 1998. Among these, seven species occur in the Palaearctic Region, with only M. quinquespinosus (Say, 1825) recorded from the Nearctic Region. A new combination transferred from Alydus to Megalotomus and a new junior synonym are proposed below.

Paraehlersia

description: Genus Paraehlersia San Martín, 2003
Type species: Ehlersia ferrugina Langerhans, 1881, designated by San Martín (2003), by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Relatively medium-sized syllids, with 1–2 transverse dorsal rows of cilia per chaetiger. Prostomium with 2 pairs of eyes, 1 pair of anterior eyespots, 3 antennae and 1 pair of basally jointed, usually triangular palps. Peristomium with 2 pairs of long cirri. Antennae, peristomial and anterior dorsal cirri articulated to pseudoarticulated, remaining dorsal cirri smooth; some taxa with antennae and cirri throughout with cirrophores. Anterior parapodia with small, retractile subcirral papilla underneath dorsal cirri. Compound chaetae of two types, dorsalmost spiniger-like chaetae and falcigers with teeth about same size or with distal tooth larger than subdistal tooth on anterior body, subdistal tooth progressively stouter towards posterior body. Aciculae acuminate. Pharyngeal tooth anteriorly located. Reproduction by epigamy (San Martín et al. 2009).
Remarks. Although described as a genus belonging to the Eusyllinae, in the present paper we follow the new arrangement of the subfamily proposed by Aguado et al. (2011), for the moment considering Paraehlersia as of uncertain subfamilial affiliation.

Hexapleomera cf. robusta Edgar, 2008: 23 –29, figs 10–12. (non Tanais robustus Moore)
Diagnosis: Adult uropod with four segments; pleopod endopod with two subdistal inner marginal seta, pleopod 3 basis with one inner seta; coxa of pereopod 1 with slight apophysis; maxillule palp with five distal setae; maxilliped basis with two unequal distal setae, coxa with three setae, endite with three distal spines; cheliped fixed finger with five ventral setae; dactylus of male cheliped with spinulation along cutting edge; fixed finger with no proximal tooth-like apophysis on cutting edge.
Etymology: named for Graham Edgar, who discovered and, most valuably, comprehensively described this species.
Remarks: The material of this species, originally described as Hexapleomera cf. robusta by Edgar (12008), is deposited at the Queensland Museum, being one male (QM W25442) herein designated the holotype, and one female (QM W25443) herein designated a paratype. Both were from the carapace of a nesting Caretta caretta on a beach in Queensland, Australia. All other information can be found in Edgar (2008).
Hexapleomera edgari sp. nov. is distinguished from H. robusta by its having a distinct apophysis on the coxa of pereopod 1, as well as two (as opposed to one) inner setae on the pleopod endopod, only five (as opposed to eight) maxillule palp setae, three (as opposed to two) setae on the maxilliped coxa, and distal spines on the maxilliped endite, but no proximal tooth-like apophysis on the cutting edge of the fixed finger on the male cheliped.

description: Palaeomylus, new genus
TYPE SPECIES: Palaeomylus lii, n.sp., the only species of the genus.
DIAGNOSIS: Differs from other early diverging members of Glires in having on upper molars a weak centrocrista between the paracone and metacone, distinct conules close to the paracone and metacone but distant from the protocone, and a distinct hypolophid connecting the pointed entoconid and the hypoconid on m3. Further differs from Mimotona, Gomphos, and Sinomylus in possessing only a single, evergrowing lower incisor (presumably di2) in each lower jaw. Further differs from Sinomylus in being larger, cheek teeth less unilaterally hypsodont, the apex of the protocone more lingual and confluent with the hypocone, weaker lophs but more distinct conules, lack of a mesostyle, a simpler p4 (the p4 of Sinomylus illustrated in Dashzeveg and Russell, 1988, has a better developed trigonid), and stronger hypolophid. Further differs from Tribosphenomys in being much larger, having a stronger hypocone shelf, more labially positioned conules, lack of an external cingulum, lower teeth more lophate than cuspate, and better developed posterior lobe on m3. Further differs from Eurymylus, Rhombomylus, and Matutinia in being smaller and having more cuspate cheek teeth that possess a less developed hypocone shelf. Further differs from Eomylus in having a low, transverse hypoconulid on m1–2, in lacking a diagonal shearing pattern, in having a broader third lobe on m3. Further differs from Heomys in having less inflated cusps.

description: Hexapleomera moverleyi (Edgar, 2008) comb. nov.
Pancoloides moverleyi Edgar, 2008: 85 –90, figs 43–45.
Diagnosis: Adult uropod with five segments; pleopod endopod with one subdistal inner marginal seta, pleopod 3 basis with one inner seta; coxa of pereopod 1 with apophysis; maxillule palp with five distal setae; maxilliped basis with one distal seta, coxa with two setae, endite with paired distal spines; cheliped fixed finger with five ventral setae; dactylus of male cheliped without spinulation along cutting edge; fixed finger with a slight (but not toothlike) proximal apophysis on cutting edge.
Remarks: All information on this species, collected from pylon-scrapings in Port Hobart, Tasmania, can be found in Edgar (2008). It is one of only two known species of Hexapleomera to have five uropod segments; for distinctions from the other, see below. It also differs from H. robusta in having an inner seta on the basis of pleopod 3, a distinct apophysis on the coxa of pereopod 1, only five (as opposed to eight) maxillule palp setae, distal spines on the maxilliped endite, but no proximal tooth-like apophysis on the cutting edge of the fixed finger on the male cheliped. Apart from the number of uropod segments, it differs from H. edgari in having only one pleopod endopod inner seta, only one maxilliped basis distal seta, and only two maxilliped coxa setae. Finally, H. moverleyi differs from all other known species of Hexapleomera in having no spinulation along the cutting edge of the dactylus of the male cheliped.

Referred specimen. NMV P218298, isolated, worn-down apical region of tooth crown (Fig. 3C).
Description. P218298 has an ovoid cross-section at its base which becomes more ellipsoid towards the preserved apex of the crown. In occlusal view, the apex of the tooth crown is incised by a deep anteroposterior cleft which is attributed to tooth wear. Shallow longitudinal grooves in the surface occur on all faces of the crown. The basal end of the tooth is broken to reveal a cross-section through the crown. The only notable feature of this aspect of the tooth is the presence of thick layers of cementum.
Discussion. The large size of this tooth and the thick layers of cementum suggest that P218298 represents a physeterid. Little more can be said about the systematics of this specimen although its size and similarity to teeth of large adult Physeter macrocephalus suggest affinities with the extant sperm whale.

Remarks. According to Cook (1986), the peg-bearing tubercle of PIV should be nearly as long as the longest of the other tubercles. In my opinion this is not correct. I examined the two syntypes, lodged in Basel. The slide with the female is in very poor condition, the slide of the male is in good condition, although the fourth pair of legs is missing. The longest tubercle is 1.5 times as long as the peg-bearing tubercle. Also in all my specimens, the peg-bearing tubercle is shorter than the longest tubercle. The longest tubercle is about 1.6 – 1.8 times as long as the peg-bearing tubercle. Unionicola longiseta is a widespread species, known from Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland, New Caledonia and New Zealand. It is reported here for the first time from Western Australia and New South Wales.

description: Quinoline and coumarin-tethered phenanthroimidazole hybrides 2 and 3 which have imidazole ring N-alkylated by ‘alkyl halide method’ and their divalent copper complexes were originally synthesized and reported here. N-alkylation process were performed by using quinoline and coumarin halides in promising yields. N-alkylated phenanthroimidazole rings have special structural and bonding properties with electron-rich characteristics due to the two nitrogen atoms in imidazole core, additional hetero atoms in structure, π-electron delocalization in their aromatic nature. Their photophysical characteristics were investigated by Uv-vis and Fluorescence Spectroscopy. At their excitation wavelenght of 260 nm, phenanthroimidazole hybrides exhibited maximum fluorescence at 400 nm for 1, 398 nm for 2, 405 nm for 3 and their divalent copper complexes exhibited quenchings in fluorescence intensity and bathochromic shifting to 394 for 2-Cu and 380 nm for 3-Cu. The binding stoichiometries with divalent copper ion were determined by Job’s plotting as 1:1 ratio between hybrides 2 and 3 (seperately) and copper ion. Magnetic natures of the copper complexes were also determined by magnetic susceptibility measurements in solid-state.

Megalotomus costalis

description: Megalotomus costalis Stål, 1873
Megalotomus costalis Stål, 1873: 92, Syntype (s): Japan; NHRS. Miyamoto & Yasunaga, 1989; Schaefer et al., 1989: 500–507; Lee, Kown & Miyamoto, 1993; Liu & Liu, 1998: 41–43; Dolling, 2006: 38.
Remarks. This species was originally described from Japan and is so far known from Japan (Hokkaido and Honshu), Korea and China (Heilongjiang Province and Shandong Province) (Miyamoto & Yasunaga, 1989; Lee, Kown & Miyamoto, 1993; Liu & Liu, 1998).
Specimens were rather limited which made the study of some morphological characters difficult. Based on published information, this species resembles M. junceus in body size and colour, but differs from it and other Megalotomus species in the male genital structures. As noted by Schaefer et al., 1989 on page 503, the “surcapsular spine extending beyond end of capsule, each spine with small spine arising middorsally; spine more narrow and straighter”. These characteristics were also illustrated by Liu & Liu (1998: see illustration of fig 17, on page 43). However, the surcapsular spines illustrated by Liu & Liu (1998) crossed each other at the apex, which was contrary to other Megalotomus species.
This species should be studied further once more specimens are collected.
