Anarthrura: G.O. Sars, 1882: 53 –54. Anarthrura: G.O. Sars, 1896: 37 –38.
Type Species. Anarthrura simplex G.O. Sars, 1882, by monotypy.
Diagnosis (after G.O. Sars). Anarthrurid with fragile, poorly calcified, cuticle. Cephalothorax short. Pleon short, pleonites distinct or fused. Mouthparts small. Labrum conical in plan and profile view. Mandibles weak, without molar or lacinia mobilis. Maxillule endite with four unequal setae. Maxilliped endite with two distal setae; palp article­3 with three inner setae. Cheliped propodus without lateral fold; fixed finger with one ventral seta. Pereopods 1–3 setation sparse. Coxa of pereopods 1–3 with seta. Pereopods 4–6 carpus with three simple spiniform setae and one smaller seta. Pleopods absent (females).
Remarks. With the description of another species belonging to this genus (A. edentatus – see below) the reduction of the pleon in A. simplex must be seen as a specific, rather than a family­level, character, as discussed in the previous section.

Ithyomus

description: Ithyomus gen. nov.
Anarthrura: Bird, 2001: 27.
Type Species. Ithyomus conopygus sp. nov., by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Anarthrurid with well­developed pleon. Labrum conical, not laterally compressed. Mandible without molar (?) Maxillule endite with seven terminal spiniform setae. Maxilliped palp article­3 with three long inner setae; endite with one long seta. Cheliped propodus without lateral fold; fixed finger with two ventral setae. Pereopod 1–3 coxa with seta. Pereopod 4–6 merus, carpus and propodus with spiniform setae with complex tips, carpus with four of these. Pleopod exopod with setae on entire ventral and distal margin. Uropod exopod with three setae.
Etymology. From Greek ithys, meaning ‘straight’ and omos ‘upper arm’, alluding to the pseudocoxa­basis articulation.
Remarks. As with most diagnoses defining new monotypic genera it is provisional and will be tested if and when very similar species are recorded elsewhere. The combination of four spiniform pereopod carpal setae, three palp setae (article­3) and no cheliped propodal fold is unique.

Thorkelius

description: Thorkelius gen. nov.
Leptognathia: Hansen, 1913: 101 –102. Leptognathia: Lang, 1968: 159, table II.
Type species. Leptognathia latiremis Hansen, 1913.
Diagnosis. Anarthrurid with normally developed pleon. Labrum conical, not laterally compressed. Mandible weak with elongate incisor process, without molar or lacinia mobilis. Maxillule endite with five (or six?) setae. Maxilliped endite with one seta; palp article­ 3 with four large setae. Cheliped propodus without lateral fold; fixed finger with two ventral spiniform setae. Carpus of pereopods 4–6 with three complex spiniform setae and one smaller dorsal seta. Pleopods present.
Etymology. After the Icelandic demon character ‘Thorkel’, from the ‘Tale of Thorstein Shiver’; alluding to its prevalence in the cold, dark depths of the seas north and east of Iceland.
Remarks. An apparently significant discrepancy exists between this diagnosis and the description and drawings of the mouthparts given by Hansen for L. latiremis. He shows large and robust mandibles that possess both a lacinia mobilis and well developed molar, and a maxilliped that has palps relatively small in relation to the bases; the palp article­3 is also depicted with only two inner setae. These all give the impression of belonging to an akanthophoreinid, colletteid or tanaellid rather than an anarthrurid and that a probable lapsus calami has occurred.
Two species are placed in this genus, L. latiremis and L. glacialis. They differ from all known anarthrurids in the possession of four inner setae on maxilliped palp article­3.

description: Anarthrurella gen. nov.
Anarthrura: Holdich & Bird, 1986: 79, 98, table 2.
Type Species. Anarthrurella clairae sp.nov., by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Anarthrurid with pleon normally developed. Labrum conical, not laterally compressed, relatively large. Mandibles not known (probably highly reduced). Maxillule endite with (at least) three spiniform seta. Maxilliped endite simple, with one seta; palp article­3 with three long inner setae. Cheliped propodus with prominent outer fold; with one ventral seta. Pereopods 1–3 stout, coxa with seta. Pereopods 4–6 carpus with three ordinary spiniform setae and one smaller dorsal seta. Pleopods present.
Remarks. A combination of an unmodified labrum and possession of a fold on the cheliped fixed­finger is unique among known genera and the taxa included in this study and is the basis for the erection of a new genus. Additional material is required to pursue the equivocal details about mandible and maxillule structures. The species Leptognathia profunda may also belong in this genus – see below.

description: Anisopechys gen. nov.
Anarthrura: Holdich & Bird, 1989: tables III, IV and appendices as taxon ‘26’. Anarthrura: Bird, 2001: 25 –26
Type species. Anisopechys crinitus sp. nov. by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Anarthrurid with normal pleon. Labrum strongly laterally compressed, ovoid. Mandible with weak, deflexed acuminate molar process. Maxillule endite with seven (?) unequal terminal setae. Maxilliped endite conical, with finely setose margin, without distal setae; palp article­3 with three inner setae. Cheliped propodus with lateral fold; fixed finger with one ventral seta. Carpus of pereopods 4–6 with three complex spiniform setae and one thin seta. Pleopods present. Uropod exopod with three thick distal setae.
Etymology. From Greek anisos ‘unequal’ and pechys ‘forearm’, alluding to the shape of the cheliped carpus.
Remarks. This genus differs from Synanarthrura gen. nov. (see below) principally in its habitus, i.e. shape and proportions of cephalothorax, pereon, pleon and pleotelson. However, it probably has close phylogenetic affinities to that genus and to Siphonolabrum because of its narrow labrum, conical maxilliped endites and cheliped fold. The presence of a mandibular molar process (albeit weak) is shared with Anarthruropsis galathea Lang, 1968 and Synanarthrura gen.nov.

Type species. Synanarthrura celtica sp. nov., by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Anarthrurid with normal pleon. Labrum laterally compressed. Mandible with acuminate molar process. Maxillule endite with five unequal terminal setae. Maxilliped endite conical, with finely setose margin, without distal setae; palp article­3 with three inner setae. Cheliped propodus with lateral fold; fixed finger with one ventral seta. Pereopods 1–3 coxa with seta. Carpus of pereopods 4–6 with three complex spiniform setae and one thin seta. Pleopods present. Uropod exopod with three long distal setae.
Etymology. Genus group name Anarthrura with prefix from Greek syn meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’.
Remarks. It is tempting to include this taxon with Anisopechys but the different habitus, as well as the characters given under the ‘Remarks’ on the previous genus, support its separate identity from that genus, Siphonolabrum and Anarthruropsis.

Leptognathia profunda

description: Leptognathia profunda Hansen, 1913
Leptognathia profunda: Hansen, 1913: 99 –100; plate X figure 1a–h.
Remarks. This species was known only as three specimens from the type locality, ‘Ingolf’ Stn 22, southwest of Cape Farewell, 3376 m. Another probable specimen of L. profunda has now been obtained from BIOICE Stn 2717, in the Irminger Basin at 255 m. Examination of this non­ovigerous female (and one of the types) shows it to have the following characters: cheliped propodus with lateral fold; fixed finger with one ventral seta and several high teeth on the incisive margin, the most distal being bifid, behind which the dactylus fits (on type specimen); labrum large and conical, not laterally compressed; maxilliped palp article­3 with three plumose setae; pereopods 4–6 with three spiniform carpal setae; pleopods present; uropod endopod 2­articled.
This suite of characters, together with the general shape, or habitus, suggests that L. profunda actually belongs to the genus Anarthrurella gen. nov. As further study is required (on limited material), and the zoogeography falls outside the scope of this paper, publication of the status of this species will occur elsewhere.

description: Программные продукты поддержки агротехнологических решений для зоны рискованного земледелия южных регионов и, особенно, имеющих низкую естественную водообеспеченность при моделировании и прогнозировании урожайности в первую очередь опираются на данные о пространственном и временном распределении осадков по территории и данных о динамике влагозапасов, при этом, во многих случаях для эффективного использования необходимо их региональное тестирование.

«NPK- эксперт» — это программный продукт относится к группе «интеллектуальных калькуляторов», интегрирующий в себе современные подходы максимального задействования открытых данных ДЗЗ с наземной информацией при сравнительно невысокой стоимости. При этом использование спутниковой информации для решения задач агромониторинга и прогнозирования урожайности является одним из активно развивающихся направлений исследований и внедрения их результатов. Частичные аналоги данной разработки (в смысле реализации решения балансового уравнения по выносу элементов питания под планируемый урожай) имеются как в сфере тепличного хозяйства, так и в разработках высокого уровня, ориентированных на сферу растениеводства.

На сегодняшний день основой с.х. производства является правильность применения минеральных удобрений для получения максимальных урожаев всех культур, выращиваемых в севообороте.

Первая рабочая версия программного продукта «NPK – эксперт» выполнена с использованием визуального языка программирования VBA (версия 7.0), интегрированного в MS Office и, в частности в электронные таблицы MS Excel.

Выбор языка программирования VBA для данной разработки основан на нескольких его преимуществах для решения задач данного класса: большинство потенциальных пользователей имеют опыт использования инструментов MS Office (Word, Excel); VBA интегрирован в эти инструменты, что позволяет максимально быстро и эффективно использовать его интерпретатор. Идеология использования VBA базируется на том, что в большинстве случаев, основным объектом, с которым взаимодействуют программные процедуры, являются документ (Word) или книга (Excel), в котором хранится основная программа и вспомогательные процедуры (хотя они могут храниться отдельно). VBA является де-факто стандартом для электронных таблиц, в том числе используется в бесплатном программном обеспечении OpenOffice.

По результатам тестирования ПП выявлен и устранен ряд программных ошибок, а также сделаны выводы о возможном и необходимом его совершенствовании.

Etymology. The name is derived from the type locality.
Diagnosis. C. boendense sp. nov. females are most similar to those of C. peregrinum Thorell, 1899 and C. shilabira sp. nov. in having two pockets in the anterior edge of the epigynal depression. C. boendense sp. nov. differs from C. shilabira sp. nov. by the absence of the bend in the copulatory ducts close to the spermathecae, and from C. peregrinum and C. shilabira sp. nov. by the pockets in the anterior margin of the central epigynal depression being shallower (see Lotz, 2007a: figs 3–4, 95–96 and Figs 2–3, 44–45).
Description. Female: (n = 1): TL = 8.3; CL = 3.3; CW = 2.5; OAL = 0.5; OAW = 1.3; CLL = 0.05. Chelicerae: robust with long fangs; fang furrow with six teeth of unequal size, PMT:RMT = 3:3 (Fig. 1). Measurements: AME– AME 0.20; AME–ALE 0.20; AME diameter 0.20; PME–PME 0.20; PME–PLE 0.30; PME diameter 0.20; MOQAW 0.55; MOQPW 0.60; CI (CL/CW) 1.32; LL:CL 4.70; STL 1.5; STW 1.2.

Etymology. The name is from Latin (falx = sickle) and refers to the sickle-shaped TA.
Diagnosis. C. falcis sp. nov. is similar to C. kakumense sp. nov. in the hooked apex of the TA, that differentiate them from other known Afrotropical species, but C. falcis sp. nov. differs from C. kakumense sp. nov. in the sickle shape of the TA apex and the longer, thinner, ventral RTA (Figs 5–6 and 26–27).
Description. Male: (n = 1): TL = 6.1; CL = 2.5; CW = 2.2; OAL = 0.4; OAW = 1.1; CLL = 0.05. Chelicerae: robust with long fangs; fang furrow with six teeth of unequal size, PMT:RMT = 3:3 (Fig. 4).

Abdomen: cream coloured with indistinct heartmark. Palp (Figs 5–6): cymbium elongate, longer than tibia, with broad apophysis with apex pointing proximally; tibia with DTA narrow and sharply pointed; RTA broader, ending with a bifid, rounded apex; TA sclerotized, with sickle-shaped apex; EM long, almost encircling tegulum, ending at CON apex; CON not sclerotized but distinct.
Female: unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in Gabon (Fig. 52).
Habitat. Montane rainforest.

Type material. Holotype ♀, SOUTH AFRICA: Limpopo Province, Marakele Nature Reserve, 24º29’S, 27º31’E, III.2005, S. Foord (NCAP).
Etymology. The species name is a patronym for Stefan Foord, collector of the type specimen.
Diagnosis. C. foordi sp. nov. females are similar to those of C. aculeutum Simon, 1884, but can be differentiated by the longer copulatory ducts and by the placement of the copulatory openings in the epigynal depression, being medio-lateral (Figs 8–9) instead of anterio-lateral (see Lotz, 2007a: figs 3–4).

Type material. Holotype ♂, TANZANIA: Bunduki, Uluguru Mountains, Mgeta, 07º02’S, 37º38’E, 30.IV– 2.V.1957, P. Basilewsky & N. Leleup (MRAC 111888); Paratype: 1♂, Mazumbai National Forest Reserve, west Usambara Mountains, 04º45’S, 38º30’E, V.1969, K.M. Howell (MRAC 147252).
Etymology. The name is derived from the country name, Tanzania, from which both specimens were collected.
Diagnosis. C. tanzanense sp. nov. is most similar to C. leucophaeum Simon, 1897, in the tapering almost Sshaped TA and the relatively short CA (see Lotz, 2007a: figs 76–77), but differs by the bent TA apex bending toward the CON and by the RTA being broader and the CA being longer (Figs 50–51).

NEW BRUNSWICK: Yor k C o.: Fredericton, 14.ix.1987, N. Albert, UMNB; New Brunswick (no further data), NBM. NOVA SCOTIA: 75 specimens examined from Annapolis, Antigonish, Cape Breton, Colchester, Cumberland, Guysborough, Halifax, Hants, Inverness, Kings, Pictou, Queens, and Richmond counties. The earliest record is from 1967 (Inverness Co.: Bras d'Or Lake, 17.v.1967, J. Gilhen, NSMC). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: St. Patricks, 17.viii.2002, C.G. Majka, CGMC; St. Patricks, 25.vi.2003, C.G. Majka, CGMC.
Newly recorded in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Widely distributed in the region (Figure 1). In Nova Scotia observed in association with the galleries of scolytines (Curculionidae) “feeding” on red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg,) (Pinaceae); also in white pine (Pinus strobus L.) (Pinaceae) and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) (Pinaceae) forests. Knull (1951) reported it as diurnal and found under the bark of trees infested with lignicolous boring insects.

NOVA SCOTIA: Kings Co.: Kentville, 10.vii.1948, CNC.
Only one specimen of this species has been collected in the Maritime Provinces (Figure 5). Further research is required to determine if this specimen represents an isolated population in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia (a relatively warmer portion of the province) or if this individual was a wind-blown stray. Cymatodera bicolor is known from Maine (Chandler 2001). Cymatodera favours immature stages of prey such as larvae of cynipoid wasps and other larvae associated with galls, fruit tree caterpillars, and larvae of bark beetles, cerambycids, and buprestids (Opitz 2002).

Newly recorded in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Widely distributed in the region (Figure 2). Collected in many habitats (coastal heath barrens, coastal dunes, pine barrens, along rivers, ravines, deciduous forests), often on the foliage or blossoms of trees or shrubs such as Betula papyrifera Marshall (Betulaceae), Diervilla lonicera P. Mi ll (Caprifoliaceae), Viburnum nudum L. (Caprifoliaceae), and Spiraea alba Duroi (Rosaceae). The form difficilis (LeConte, 1849) is also found in the region.
Species of Phyllobaenus are commonly collected by sweeping grass or beating live and dead branches with or without foliage. They have been reared from insect galls and cotton bolls and are known to prey on small wood borers, immature weevils, and hymenopterous larvae (Opitz 2002).
