Figs. 14, 25, 39
Diagnosis. Apotomops boliviana is indistinguishable superficially from most congeners. Sexual dimorphism in forewing pattern is subtle as in most Apotomops, although the single female is considerably larger than either of the two males. The white hindwings of A. boliviana may be unique in the genus. The male genitalia are similar to those of A. carchicola, but can be distinguished easily by the single pointed tooth from the dorsum of the sacculus compared to the dense row of teeth present in A. carchicola.
Description. Head: White scaled; antenna simple, flagellomeres rounded, male with extremely short cilia. Thorax: Forewing (Fig. 39) length 7.5 mm in males, 11.0 mm in female; ground color white, overscaled and faintly mottled with gray in distal 0.5; slender black oblique bar from costa ca. 0.15 distance from base to apex; small semicircular blotch near middle of costa; costal portion of basal half of forewing blackish brown, with scaling extending nearly to costal blotch, isolating a subrectangular white patch in basal 0.5; hindwing white, pale beige in apical region, lacking male secondary structures. Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 14) with uncus short, stout, dilated near middle; socii short; gnathos unmodified; transtilla a simple bridge; valva uniform in width, curved dorsally throughout, rounded apically, sacculus with a single attenuate tooth at dorsal edge, followed distally by a short, weakly serrate region; aedeagus complex, with an extremely long, slender curved spine from phallobase; phallobase with two large asymmetrical lobes. Female genitalia (Fig. 25) with papillae anales simple; anterior portion of sterigma forming a large pocket with deep V­shaped lateral lobes; accessory bursa poorly defined; ductus bursae comparatively narrow; corpus bursae oblong, without spicules or signum.

Discussion. Eulia salubricola was described from one male and one female from Buenos Aires, Argentina (“unpublished” lectotype male in NHMW) and Phtheocroa cranaodes from a single female from Tigre, Argentina (holotype in BMNH). Although the synonymy of the two has been suspected (e.g., specimen labels by J. Clarke; unpublished studies by J. Pastrana; Razowski and Becker 2000), it has not been investigated thoroughly. In addition to the types cited above, we have examined 7 males and 5 females of Bonagota from Argentina (with males and females associated by collecting localities), and all are within the range of variation one would expect at the species level (Fig. 41). The females are similar to the holotype of P. cranaodes, and the males are similar to the lectotype of E. salubricola; on this basis we synonymize the two. Because E. salubricola has priority the correct name is Apotomops salubricola.
This species has become an important pest of apples in Brazil. Work on the sex pheromones has been conducted by Park et al. (1998), Coracini et al. (1999), Eiras et al. (1999), and Yadav and Reddy (2000); limited investigations on parasitoids have been reported by Querino et al. (2002).

Feldman, ex Krigia virginica, # CSE3677, CNC939735, CNC939736 (2♂).
Hosts. Asteraceae: * Krigia virginica (L.) Willd., Sonchus L.
Leaf mine. (Fig. 29) Larva primarily boring in the leaf midrib, making short corridors into the blade and sometimes overlying the midrib. The branches are virtually free of frass, which accumulates in the larva’s resting place at the base of the midrib (Ellis 2018).
Puparium. Yellowish-white or sometimes black, formed in the base of the midrib (Ellis 2018).
Distribution. * USA: NC; Africa; Asia; Europe.
Comments. This is the first record of any agromyzid from Krigia Schreb. TSF has also found an undetermined species of Liriomyza Mik mining leaves of K. virginica at St. Andrews University.

(Figs. 30–31)
Material examined. NORTH CAROLINA: Scotland Co., Laurinburg, St. Andrews University, 2.vi.2015, em. by 17.vi.2015, T.S. Feldman, ex Hypochaeris chillensis, # CSE2007 (1♀).
Host. Asteraceae: Hypochaeris chillensis (Kunth) Britton.
Leaf mine. (Figs. 30–31) The single photographed mine was whitish, beginning as a narrow, linear track on the lower leaf surface, then entering the midrib and petiole, where most feeding took place, including on the upper leaf surface, where there was a blotch-like expansion into the blade.
Puparium. Formed within the mine.
Comments. The leaf mine seems consistent with Ophiomyia beckeri, which has been found at the same location and is recorded from Hypochaeris L. in Europe (Hering 1957, p. 557). The reared adult is unfortunately in very poor condition, with the head and most legs missing, in addition to being a female. TSF has found similar midrib-based mines on H. radicata L. at both St. Andrews University and in Durham.

Material examined. NORTH CAROLINA: Durham Co., Durham, 23.v.2017, em. 25.v.2017, T.S. Feldman, ex Pyrrhopappus carolinianus, # CSE3714 (1♀).
Host. Asteraceae: Pyrrhopappus carolinianus (Walter) DC.
Leaf mine. (Fig. 32) Whitish, on the upper leaf surface; primarily over the midrib, with occasional short excursions into the blade. Although the leaf from which the adult was reared had no mining on the lower surface, TSF has found similar mines on this host with associated lower surface tracks as with Ophiomyia sp. 1.
Puparium. (Fig. 6) Whitish; formed within the mine, with the anterior spiracles projecting through the upper epidermis.
Comments. Although the leaf mine seems consistent with Ophiomyia beckeri, the single reared female cannot be identified. This is the first published record of any agromyzid from Pyrrhopappus DC. M.W. Palmer (in litt.) has found Ophiomyia mines on stems of P. carolinianus in Oklahoma.

Host. * Lamiaceae: Scutellaria integrifolia L.
Leaf mine. (Figs. 35–36) A gradually widening, serpentine track, expanding to a blotch that may obliterate the earlier portion; whitish, largely discolored brown; frass in scattered grains (more closely spaced in the earlier portion).
Puparium. Yellowish-brown to brown; formed outside the mine.
Distribution. * USA: NC; Canada: NS (Spencer 1969).
Comments. Scutellaria is a new host genus for Calycomyza and for any North American agromyzid. Since S. integrifolia does not occur in Nova Scotia, this fly must have another host. Scutellaria galericulata L. and S.
lateriflora L. are the only congeners recorded from Nova Scotia (USDA, NRCS 2018), and we have never found agromyzid mines on either of these plants.

description: We present a systematic analysis of the spatially resolved star formation histories (SFHs) using Hubble Space Telescope imaging data of $\sim 997$, intermediate redshifts $0.5 \leq z \leq 2.0$ galaxies from the GOODS-S field, with stellar mass range $9.8 \leq \log \mathrm{M}_{\star}/\mathrm{M}_{\odot} \leq 11.5$. We estimate the SFHs in three spatial regions (central region within the half-mass radii $\mathrm{R}_{50s}$, outskirts between $1-3~\mathrm{R}_{50s}$, and the whole galaxy) using pixel-by-pixel spectral-energy distribution (SED) fitting, assuming exponentially declining tau model in individual pixels. The reconstructed SFHs are then used to derive and compare the physical properties such as specific star-formation rates (sSFRs), mass-weighted ages (t$_{\mathrm{50}}$), and the half-mass radii to get insights on the interplay between the structure and star-formation in galaxies. The correlation of sSFR ratio of the center and outskirts with the distance from the main sequence (MS) indicates that galaxies on the upper envelope of the MS tend to grow outside-in, building up their central regions, while those below the MS grow inside-out, with more active star formation in the outskirts. The findings suggest a self-regulating process in galaxy size growth when they evolve along the MS. Our observations are consistent with galaxies growing their inner bulge and outer disc regions, where they appear to oscillate about the average MS in cycles of central gas compaction, which leads to bulge growth, and subsequent central depletion possibly due to feedback from the starburst, resulting in more star formation towards the outskirts from newly accreted gas.

description: In medical imaging, efficient segmentation of colon polyps plays a pivotal role in minimally invasive solutions for colorectal cancer. This study introduces a novel approach employing two parallel encoder branches within a network for polyp segmentation. One branch of the encoder incorporates the dual convolution blocks that have the capability to maintain feature information over increased depths, and the other block embraces the single convolution block with the addition of the previous layer's feature, offering diversity in feature extraction within the encoder, combining them before transpose layers with a depth-wise concatenation operation. Our model demonstrated superior performance, surpassing several established deep-learning architectures on the Kvasir and CVC-ClinicDB datasets, achieved a Dice score of 0.919, a mIoU of 0.866 for the Kvasir dataset, and a Dice score of 0.931 and a mIoU of 0.891 for the CVC-ClinicDB. The visual and quantitative results highlight the efficacy of our model, potentially setting a new model in medical image segmentation.

description: It is of utmost importance to ensure that modern data intensive systems do not leak sensitive information. In this paper, the authors, who met thanks to Joost-Pieter Katoen, discuss symbolic methods to compute information-theoretic measures of leakage: entropy, conditional entropy, Kullback-Leibler divergence, and mutual information. We build on two semantic frameworks for symbolic execution of probabilistic programs. For discrete programs, we use weakest pre-expectation calculus to compute exact symbolic expressions for the leakage measures. Using Second Order Gaussian Approximation (SOGA), we handle programs that combine discrete and continuous distributions. However, in the SOGA setting, we approximate the exact semantics using Gaussian mixtures and compute bounds for the measures. We demonstrate the use of our methods in two widely used mechanisms to ensure differential privacy: randomized response and the Gaussian mechanism.

description: Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is often combined with feedback linearization (FBL) for nonlinear systems that have the nonlinearity additive to the input. Conventional approaches estimate and cancel the nonlinearity based on the first principle or data-driven methods such as Gaussian Processes (GPs). However, the former needs an elaborate modeling process, and the latter provides a fixed learned model, which may be suffering when the model dynamics are changing. In this letter, we take a Deep Neural Network (DNN) using a real-time-updated dataset to approximate the unknown nonlinearity while the controller is running. Spectrally normalizing the weights in each time-step, we stably incorporate the DNN prediction to an LQR controller and compensate for the nonlinear term. Leveraging the property of the bounded Lipschitz constant of the DNN, we provide theoretical analysis and locally exponential stability of the proposed controller. Simulation results show that our controller significantly outperforms Baseline controllers in trajectory tracking cases.

Material examined: Mozambique, MSR. 2 males, Ponta Milibangalala (Dune Grassland), 15 m, 26°26′58.6″S, 32°55′29.8″E, 17–21.ii.2018, László, G., Mulvaney, J., Smith, L. leg. ANHRT:2018.2, gen. slide No. LG 5728; 1 female, same site, 24.xi.2016, Aristophanous, M., Cristóvão, J., László, G., Miles, W. leg. Trip Ref: MZ-001 (ANHRT 22), gen. slide No. LG 5729 (female).
Distribution: This species has been collected in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
Taxonomic note: During our examination of Caffricola specimens, there have only been minor external morphological and genitalia differences detected between C. vicina and C. cloeckneria (Stoll, 1781), in agreement with Janse’s (1964) findings. The confirmation of the validity of the two species requires further morphological and genetic studies to be carried out on more material. The female specimen from MSR (Fig. 1) shows slight differences with the female holotype of C. vicina as well as with specimens identified as C. cloeckneria in terms of the larger extent of black colouration in the anal half of the forewing. Having compared their copulatory organs, the holotype of C. vicina has a somewhat longer ductus bursae and tubular section of the corpus bursae. Additionally, there is also a noticeable difference in the shape of the signum bursae between the two examined specimens (Figs 46 – 47). In the male genitalia, certain differences between paratypes of C. vicina and a specimen collected in MSR were also found, expressed by the overall size of the genital capsule, the shape of the ventral margin of the valvae, and the length of the vinculum (Figs 44 – 45). Due to only a few specimens being examined, it is difficult to decide the taxonomic value of these differences.

Distribution: This species has been collected in Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Taxonomic note: Due to the prevalent confusion in diagnoses of the green tropical and subtropical slug moths, Latoia vivida has been referred to as Latoia (Fourie & Hull 1980) or Parasa (Hill 2008, Evans 1968) in scientific literature. We follow Janse’s (1964) review and consider this species to belong to Latoia (pp. 118–119).
