Enghoffosoma Golovatch, 1993: 8.
Enghoffosoma — Golovatch, 2011: 262; Nguyen and Sierwald, 2013: 1258.
Diagnosis. Body medium-sized to large (ca 18–40 mm long, ca 1.5–5.5 mm wide), with 20 segments. Paraterga from missing to very strongly developed, without lateral incisions. Transverse metatergal sulcus if any often faint and abbreviated. Sterna modified, with a small to evident cone near each coxa. Sternal lobe or cone(s) between male coxae 4 present. Pleurosternal carinae usually well-developed. First pair of male legs without femoral adenostyles. Male legs always with ventral brushes on tarsi, sometimes also on tibiae.
Gonopods only rather faintly curved, held subparallel to each other, with rather long, subcylindrical, distoventrally sparsely setose coxites; prefemoral (= setose) part of telopodite short to very short, 1/2–1/4 as long as acropodite; fermorite rather slender to stout, mostly enlarged distad, with a strong distolateral sulcus demarcating a “postfemoral” part; seminal groove running entirely or mostly mesally along femorite before turning laterad and passing onto a thick solenomere (sl), the latter opposed by a similarly thick to spiniform, ventral process (e) (= solenophore, = tibiotarsus), often with another, small, ventral or mesal process (p) at base; an evident to faint “postfemoral” shelf (b) also visible at base of e.
Type species. Sundanina spinipleura Carl, 1941, by original designation.
Other species included: E. longipes Golovatch, 2011, E. zebra sp. n., E. lanceolatum sp. n., E. anchoriforme sp. n., E. funda sp. n., E. bispinum sp. n.
Remarks. Based on a restudy of the lectotype of Sundanina spinipleura, Golovatch (1993) established the genus Enghoffosoma Golovatch, 1993. Following Carl (1941), however, he grossly misinterpreted the gonopod structure by thinking that E. spinipleurum showed a flagelliform solenomere so characteristic of the bulk of Paradoxosomatinae. However, already the new illustrations of a gonopod he provided showed a thick solenomere. The mistake was corrected (Golovatch 2011), and a reassignment of Enghoffosoma to the tribe Paradoxosomatini made, in relation to the description of a new congener from southern China: E. longipes Golovatch, 2011.

3D dynamic blind zone modeling and analysis for high-resolution roadside LiDAR sensors
Creators: name: Ge, Yi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: The key to any Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS), autonomous technology, or human driving is to accurately sense the surroundings. Conventionally, Autonomous Vehicles (AV) mainly depend on the equipped sensors to sense the surroundings and make decisions based on the sensor data along with the supportive information from other Connected Vehicles (CV) and Roadside Units (RSU). Limited by the height of the vehicle, the on-vehicle sensors are significantly affected by the occlusions. Coupled with the glacially increasing CV penetration rate, AVs will have to stay in a world full of blind zones for an extended duration of time. AVs will continue to navigate a world filled with blind zones for an extended period. These blind zones are also critical considerations for human driving maneuvers. Human drivers face more severe blind zones due to a more limited field of view, although the flexibility of drivers' eyes compared to fixed cameras can slightly mitigate these blind zones.Roadside sensors have advantages over on-vehicle sensors and driver views in reducing occlusions for two main reasons. First, roadside sensors can be installed at much higher elevations than vehicles, effectively mitigating occlusions. Second, although the installation of roadside sensors is constrained by the terrain, they can be situated distantly, which grants them the ability to sense from distinct viewpoints and further reduce blind zones. The recent deployment of the roadside sensor fusion system provides opportunities to systematically analyze the occlusion-caused blind zone and detect near-misses caused by blind zones. This dissertation conducts blind zone analyses from the perspective of roadside sensors, though the model can also be adapted for on-vehicle sensors. First, Sensor Coverage Models (SCM) for different roadside sensors are calculated based on sensor characteristics. Second, a Digital Surface Model (DSM) with a world coordinate system is built from the 3D model to represent the background, including both terrain and infrastructure. The simulated sensor coverage model SCM and the sampled background model DSM are calibrated and validated with actual Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data. Metrices are designed to cross compare the dense SCM and DSM with the sparse LiDAR point cloud data. For static blind zone analysis, the SCM is projected onto the DSM coordinate system as sensor placement. For dynamic blind zone analysis, vehicle trajectories are incorporated to update the dynamic DSM. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to test how different parameters affect the blind zones, and recommendations have been made based on these findings.

Description
Male (Figs 11–21). The main morphological characters of the species are illustrated (Figs 11–15), and the phallic complex is newly described here. Epiphallus with crescent outer lophi nearly projecting in a 90° angle from bridge and rounded inner lophi; anchorae with apex obtuse; anterior projections with posterior sides nearly straight in lateral view; lateral plate with external margin concave in dorsal view and posterior sides convex in lateral view; posterior projection somewhat stout and backward reaching at posterior margin of outer lophi in lateral view; bridge distinctly divided in middle (figs 16–18). Phallic complex illustrated (figs 19–21). Ectophallic membrane with an extra, spoon-shaped sclerite (fig. 20).
Remarks
Sharing the same generic characters with other four, especially on male furculae upright large and lophi crescent, the species is transferred to Longchuanacris from Caryanda. A new scientific name of L. viridus Mao et Ou is given for C. macrofurcula Mao et Ou, 2000 to avoid a junior homonym of type species L. macrofurculus Zheng et Fu, 1989.

Pseudoconocrinus

description: Genus Pseudoconocrinus n. gen.
Type species. Conocrinus doncieuxi Roux, 1978c.
Diagnosis. Cup shape highly variable but never inverted conical, except in some juveniles; sutures between cup ossicles often conspicuous at least at base of basal circlet. Distal face of radial circlet with small central depression (ratio to radial ring diameter 0.20–0.30), long conspicuous interradial crests separating large subtrapezoidal synarthries about as wide as radials, muscular areas moderately concave with inner side slightly erect or not at all. Arms divided at IBr2ax, two kinds of axillaries found in association with cups, the larger wider than tall and the smaller substantially taller than wide, suggesting change through ontogeny or possible additional branching. Articulation IBr1+2 without trifascial pattern.
Included species. Conocrinus doncieuxi Roux, 1978 (Ypresian), Democrinus maximus Brünnich Nielsen, 1915 (Danian), Conocrinus tauricus Klikushin, 1982 (Thanetian).
Remarks. The Thanetian species Conocrinus tauricus is known from a single aboral cup with distal face poorly preserved, columnals and primibrachials including one axillary that is as tall as it is wide; this may belong to Pseudoconocrinus n. gen. However, its syzygy of a radiate crenularium at IBr1+2 contrasts with the smooth synostosis observed in Eocene Conocrinus, Paraconocrinus n. gen. and Pseudoconocrinus n. gen.

Elytra apex with yellow band. Elytral epipleura yellow from mid to apex. Shape and size of median elytral band vary. Legs completely yellow.
Comments. P. (S.) hilaris sobrinus is similar to P. (S.) africanus (Dejean 1825) except for its lighter color (yellowish brown), smaller in size and elytral epipleura pale with fine tubercles, but almost always without visible setae. P. (S.) africanus possesses black elytral epipleura with more or less distinctive seta-bearing tubercles; P. hilaris hilaris is characterised by pale epipleura with fine tubercles, whereas, P. hilaris sobrinus has more or less yellow epipleura. Both subspecies show the epipleura with fine tubercles but always without setae (Felix et al. 2012).
Distribution. The specimens of this species were collected from Rawalpindi, Chakwal and Peshawar. Previously, it was reported from India (Andrewes 1930), Poonch Azad Jummu Kashmir (Rahim et al. 2013), Nepal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan (Anichtchenko 2016) and Yemen (Felix et al. 2012).

Baldratia

description: Genus Baldratia Kieffer, 1897
Baldratia is a Palaearctic genus with 38 species (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). Larvae induce galls on stems and leaves of the family Chenopodiaceae mainly in Central Asia. Four species were previously described on the basis of material found in Egypt (Möhn 1969). The genus Baldratia is characterized by the following combination of morphological characters (Fedotova 1992; Dorchin & Freidberg 2008): the female ovipositor has a ventrally curved aculeus and a lateral plate that bears simple or split setae; adults generally have relatively long legs and one or two segmented palpi; apical antennal flagellomeres are often fused and the number of flagellomeres may vary within the same species and even in the same individual. Larvae have a bilobed spatula (Möhn 1969).
Fedotova (1992) mentioned that the aculeus was evenly covered with 2 rows of long apically bent setae. In the present study, it is very clear that the aculeus bears 3 rows of these setae in both B. salicorniae and the new species described below.

description: Este escrito trata sobre la vinculación entre la obra de Vere Gordon Childe y los planteos de la Arqueología Social Latinoamericana que tomó explícitamente al primero como referente y estímulo inicial de una arqueología marxista que ligara el pasado y el presente. Se revisan algunas continuidades, diferencias y convergencias entre este arqueólogo y esa corriente teórica para ilustrarnos sobre el modo en que se incorporó su legado. Sobre esta base se plantea el actual potencial de sus ideas para diferentes posiciones teóricas.

description: Tubpontania gen. nov.
Type species: Nematus anomalopterus Förster, 1854.
Adults. Small nematine sawflies, length of body 3–5 mm, head width 0.9–1.4 mm. Vertex and frons with tuberculate microsculpture, as in many species of Pristiphora. Supraclypeal area hairy, hollow laterad of antennal torulus hairy. Mandibles asymmetric: Left mandible more bent, in lateral view with broad triangular basal half, narrow apical half twisted, carinate on outer lower margin, right mandible gradually tapering to apex and without carina. Anterior margin of clypeus with medial emargination. Fore wing with 4 submarginal cells. Fourth hind tarsomere with upper surface as long as or longer than apical slope. Claws bifid. Sawsheath in lateral view rounded apically, lower margin convex. Cerci short. Lancet slightly s-shaped, with 18–23 annuli.
Host plants and galls. In Europe larvae feed on leaves of several species of subgenus Vetrix of genus Salix. In areas outside Europe larvae feed on all three subgenera of willows, on Chosenia (Russian Far East), and on Populus (North America). Oviposition in the young leaf results in the development of a procecidium, inside which the larva may feed for a short time. Later, the solitary larva feeds inside a leaf-roll which can be as long as the leaf. In some species the roll may be twisted. One generation per year, or two generations per year in some species.
Larvae. Body about 6–10 mm long, elongate, greenish. Head semiglobose, hairs on vertex and temples rather long, antenna completely flat, 4–segmented. Frons with 6–10 setae, clypeus with 2 setae. Claws of thoracic legs without distinct basal lobe. Third abdominal segment with 4 dorsal annulets, annulets 1–3 with setae. Postspiracular lobes separated. Anal tergum uniformly pale, with minute dark flecks or with lateral longitudinal black stripes, anal margin distinctly convex. Caudal protuberances (pseudocerci) short, conical, arising in lateral corners of anal tergum.
Derivation of the name. The prefix tub- is derived from the tuberculate microsculpture of the head of adults and from the characteristic, more or less tubular leaf-rolls of the larvae. Pontania was erected by A. Costa for species of small, gall-making sawflies. Gender is feminine.

Scalaria fenestrata Strebel, 1908: 63 –64, pl. 4, fig. 61a–d (non Meneghini in de Stefani, 1875 nor Wöhrmann, 1889) Cirsotrema fenestrata: Powell, 1951: 114; Zelaya, 2005: 121
Type locality. 54°11’ S 36°18’W, Cumberland Bay, South Georgia 252–310 m.
Type material. Two syntypes (one syntype at SMNH type-918: Fig. 10 A; the other syntype at ZMH 3139: Fig. 10 B, C).
Known distribution. Only known from South Georgia.
Etymology. The name of the species refers to its provenance.
Remarks. Scalaria fenestrata Strebel, 1908 appears at present as a junior (primary) homonym of Scalaria fenestrata Meneghini in de Stefani, 1875 and Scalaria fenestrata Wöhrmann, 1889. Due to the above, “ Cirsotrema ” georgeanum is here proposed as a replacement name for Strebel’s species.
In shell morphology, “ Cirsotrema ” georgeanum resembles “ Cirsotrema ” magellanicum; both species reach large sizes, and are sculptured with widely separated, lamellate axial ribs, with low but strong spiral elements in the interspaces of axial sculpture, and with a prominent spiral cord at the base. In fact, Brown & Neville (2015) suggested that both are probably synonyms. However, “ Cirsotrema ” georgeanum differs from “ Cirsotrema ” magellanicum by being slender, with whorls separated by a deeper suture, axial ribs with prominent coronations, and by lacking the auriculate peristome that is present in “ Cirsotrema ” magellanicum. Given these differences, both taxa are here regarded as distinct.

Remarks. Delaney (1989) has given the most recent comprehensive revision of the family, together with a key to the genera of the family, and that work remains the primary source reference. The family is identified primarily by mouthpart characters (see for example Kensley & Schotte 1989; Bruce et al. 2002) and the genera may be identified using the key given by Delaney (1989).
All genera are distributed within the tropics and subtropics, with few exceptions. The genus Excorallana Stebbing, 1904a is restricted to the Americas and one record of West Africa (Delaney 1989); the records of Nunomura (1988, 1994) are misidentifications of species of Tachaea Schioedte & Meinert, 1879 and Argathona Stebbing, 1905, respectively.

Diagnosis. From Cook & Bergquist (2002): Wide range of growth forms, from encrusting pads to massive, upright, lobose, caliculate or digitate structures. The surface may be armoured, and is frequently thrown into ridges and hollows. Where unarmoured the surface is typically conulose. The skeleton comprises primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary fibres. The skeletal reticulum is usually regular, frequently with almost perfectly rectangular meshes. The spongin fibres making up the anastomosing skeleton are laminated in crosssection, with clear zones of disjunction between successive layers. The central region of each fibre is a diffuse pith that is not sharply disjunct from the denser investing layer, as is the pith in the Verongiida, but merges into the outer layer. A pith is always evident in the primary fibres, though it may be obscured by an axial core of foreign material within fibres, and may extend into the secondary elements of the skeleton. Some fibres can become extremely stout, and in some genera may form light and simple, to strong, complex fascicles. Primary fibres can be greatly reduced in number, or difficult to distinguish from sub-primary fibres. Thorectids do not possess the fine filaments seen in Irciniidae species. The mesohyl is more collagenous than in the Spongiidae, and macroscopically can appear fleshy.

Nalicora Moore, 1902: 169.— Richardson 1905: 163.— Menzies & Kruczynski 1983: 77.— Kensley & Schotte 1989: 168.
Type species. Lanocira kroyeri Hansen, 1890; by monotypy.
Remarks. Identification of species of Lanocira is problematic. Mature males of most species have a distinctive, possibly uniquely shaped rostral process. Females and immature males lack a rostral process, or it may be less developed. There is little difference in appendage morphology between species and perhaps consequently species have been moved in and out of synonymy as is the case for Lanocira gardineri. Furthermore some supposedly diagnostic characters, such as the rostrum and dorsal setae on the pleotelson, are apparently inconsistently present in the one species at one location.
Within Australian waters there are at least two ‘known undescribed’ species. A single specimen of Lanocira sp., closely similar to Lanocira anasicula Jones, 1982 (from Kenya) is here recorded from Western Australia (Hibernia Reef: MTQ W17820). A series of specimens from the Australian Coral Sea Territory (Marion Reef: MTQ W10787, W10789; also Chesterfield Reefs: MTQ W10795, W10796) are similar to Lanocira gardineri, but lack a rostrum, have a more elongate body and some specimens have a sub-truncate pleotelson; these could not be confidently identified to species.
Corilana Kossmann, 1880 has sometimes been placed in synonymy with Lanocira (e.g. Delaney 1989), but Kossmann’s description and figures provide no conclusive evidence that Corilana is a junior synonym of Lanocira as opposed to Argathona Stebbing, 1905. As the whereabouts of the type material are unknown (personal communication, see acknowledgements) and can reasonably be assumed to be lost, the genus and type species (Corilana erythraea Kossmann, 1880: 115, plate IX, figs 6–11) are here regarded as nomina dubia.
Delany (1989) has given the most recent overview of the genus, listing eight species. Only one further species has been described to date (Yasmeen & Javed 2000), and that species is here placed in synonymy with Lanocira gardineri. With the species recorded herein there are ten species of Lanocira including Lanocira sp. recorded here. All species occur within the tropics with the exception of one record from Juan Fernandez Islands, southern Chile (cited in Delany 1989).

The genus Stefaniella contains 9 Palaearctic species, 8 species on Atriplex spp. and one on Chenopodium vulvaria L. (Chenopodiaceae) (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). The genus Stefaniella can be characterized by the following combination of morphological characters (Fedotova 1991b, Dorchin & Freidberg 2008): antenna 2+10 or 2+9- segmented if two ultimate flagellomeres fused; palpi two-segmented; ovipositor telescopic, with straight, posteriorly pointed aculeus bearing 2 rows of straight or apically curved setae, a lateral plate that bears short setae, and a rectangular apical lamella.

Definition. Amended From Cook & Bergquist (2002): Variable growth form. Fibre skeleton comprises primary, secondary fibres and tertiary, except for Luffariella and Fenestraspongia, which also have quaternary fibres. These are massive, often lobose, globose or digitate sponges, not lamellate or folio-digitate (except for Collospongia which is a spreading plate).
Diagnosis. Amended From Cook & Bergquist (2002): Variable growth form, from low and pad-like to a range of upright forms. The fibre skeleton comprises primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary elements. Fibres are distinctly concentrically laminated. Primary fibres, where apparent, are cored with foreign material and may form fascicles. Secondary and tertiary fibres are uncored, except in the genera Hyrtios, Skolosachlys gen. nov. and Rubrafasciculus gen. nov. which have coring of the primary and secondary fibres. There is a low to high collagen deposition in the mesohyl and this can be characteristic for each genus.
