description: Increasingly, videofluoroscopic swallow studies are being conducted without a radiologist. This study explored current assessment of structural dysphagia in adults during videofluoroscopic swallow studies, both internationally and within the Australian context. A document analysis of available international videofluoroscopic swallow studies guidance regarding the use of videofluoroscopic swallow studies for structural dysphagia was performed, followed by an online survey of Australian speech-language pathologists seeking information regarding roles, practices, training, and self-perceived competence specific to interpreting structural abnormalities. Eleven international guidelines agreed that: a) identification of structural abnormalities is one purpose of videofluoroscopic swallow studies, b) radiologists are responsible for diagnostics, however, c) 55% conceded videofluoroscopic swallow studies takes place without a radiologist if unavailable. Of 139 Australian speech-language pathologists surveyed, only 11% reported constant radiologist presence with 84% requesting radiologists’ input to review images. Fifty eight percent had received training to identify structural abnormalities. Self-perceived competence in identifying structural dysphagia was positively correlated with videofluoroscopic swallow studies experience (r = 0.43, p < 0.05). International guidance varies in its advocacy for speech-language pathologist led videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Speech-langauge pathologists in Australia are often conducting videofluoroscopic swallow studies without a radiologist present and may need to determine when to request radiologist review of potential structural abnormalities. Speech-language pathology training and multidisciplinary clinical pathways are needed to mitigate the risk of missed structural diagnoses.

Ischalia

description: Ischalia (Nitidischalia), new subgenus
(Figs. 1–2)
Diagnosis. Nitidischalia differs from both the nominate subgenus and Eupleurida by its considerably reduced pubescence (both in density and setal length), the nearly glabrous pronotum (Fig. 2), and the highly reduced humeral carinae (Fig. 1). The pronotal pits and depressions, characteristic of most species of Ischalia (Ischalia) and I. (Eupleurida), are also greatly reduced. Like the nominate subgenus, Nitidischalia is macropterous.
Type species. The type species for Ischalia (Nitidischalia), by monotypy and present designation, is the new species described below: Ischalia (Nitidischalia) barclayi.
Etymology. Nitidischalia, is derived from the Latin root, “ nitid -” (= shining) + the Greek “ isch -” (= suppress) + the Latin “ ali -” (= a wing). While no hint was provided in Pascoe’s original description of Ischalia, the name could have been in reference to the elytra disk, which presents the illusion of being “pushed down” or suppressed by virtue of the considerably elevated sutural carinae. Perhaps a related derivation, Blatchley (1910) considered Ischalia to come from the Greek for “dried up” – presumably in reference to the shriveled looking pronotum, by virtue of the many pits and depressions, and seemingly concave elytral disk seen in Ischalia. Nitidischalia refers to the highly reflective, shining, dorsal pronotal and elytra surfaces, with a nearly complete lack of vestiture compared to those of the other subgenera.

description: Leptonetidae
Synapomorphies. Synapomorphies for the Leptonetidae include an unusual iridescence, especially on the legs and carapace (Figs. 1–3), autospasy at the patella-tibia joint, the presence of tartipores on the ALS (Fig. 50, 58, 62, 70), male palpi with a fused tegulum and subtegulum but with an expandable basal haematodocha, and a respiratory system consisting of a pair of short median branches with long laterals that open to a single spiracle anteriad of the ALS (Fig. 114).
Respiratory system. (Fig. 114) The respiratory system is unlike other Haplogynae in that there is a single tracheal spiracle anteriad of the anterior lateral spinnerets, which opens to a pair of long lateral branches with a pair of short median branches, similar to that found in many Entelegynae (Ramirez, 2000). The tracheae are restricted to the abdomen. Anteriorly, the respiratory system consists of a pair of book lungs.
Expandable palpi. Brignoli (1979) was the first to note the expandable morphology of leptonetid male palpi. While it is tempting to make comparisons with the palpi of some Entelegynae, homology between these structures is difficult to assess. Leptonetid palps are generally far less expandable, i.e. the bulb twists up to 180° from a basal hemotadocha with some accessory sclerites and the embolus slightly changing orientation but not ballooning out as in typical entelegynes.

description: Smoking is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and social networks may play an important role in smoking behaviors. Our objectives were to (1) describe the network characteristics of adults with SMI who smoke tobacco (2) explore whether network attributes were associated with nicotine dependence. We performed a secondary analysis of baseline data from a tobacco smoking cessation intervention trial among 192 participants with SMI. A subgroup (n = 75) completed questions on the characteristics of their social network members. The network characteristics included network composition (e.g. proportion who smoke) and network structure (e.g. density of connections between members). We used multilevel models to examine associations with nicotine dependence. Participant characteristics included: a mean age 50 years, 49% women, 48% Black, and 41% primary diagnosis of schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. The median personal network proportion of active smokers was 22%, active quitters 0%, and non-smokers 53%. The density of ties between actively smoking network members was greater than between non-smoking members (55% vs 43%, p = .02). Proportion of network smokers was not associated with nicotine dependence. We identified potential social network challenges and assets to smoking cessation and implications for network interventions among individuals with SMI.

In 1870, when Stål described V. nigropicta from Semper’s collection, he provided a drawing of the habitus. The type was supposed to be a male but was not dissected. However, from the habitus drawing, since the wings are spread and the body visible, we can clearly identify the specimen as being a female by the shape of the anal tube, typical of the genus as figured for the female terminalia of V. luzonensis (Fig. 56), specimen selected from Baker’s collection. According to Stål’s description, Baker identified a specimen as V. nigropicta from Surigao, which he assumed to be near the type locality. The specimen is a female. We found male specimens in the BPBM collections fitting with both Stål and Baker descriptions and coming from Esperanza, which is south to Surigao on the Mindanao Island. We illustrate here one specimen (Figs 57–61) and provide illustrations for the male terminalia (Figs 62–64). Some additional material examined come from a region further west on the island, near the lake Lanao.

Comments: Brauer initially identified the type specimens “ notatus? det. Brauer” [Nemoleon notatus (Rambur, 1842)]; but Navás (1914) described it as a new species. This rare species was described twice more following the original description from collections made in Greece and Romania, and those specimens are now synonyms (Hölzel 1972). Oswald (2021) listed this species for Hungary, but it has not been collected in that country. Before World War I, the type specimen of Banatoleon lineatus Kis, 1964 was collected in a locality that was within the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, but this area now belongs to Romania.

Description: Male: Size medium. Pronotum with sparse tubercles. Side lobes abdominal edge with tumors (Figs.12B, C). Front corners of mesosternum protruding tooth-shaped (Fig. 12D). Fore femora on the ventral inside edge with 5–9 spines, 3–9 spines on the outside edge. Hind femora with 12 lower outer, 8–13 lower inner and 11 upper median spines. Fore femora and median femora dark ventrally. Tegmina with almost truncated apical part (Figs. 5I, J). Epiproct nearly oval, with intermediate longitudinal ridge (Fig. 12E). Cerci robust, almost conical (Figs. 12E, F).
Female: Similar to male in general appearance, but larger than male. Subgenital plate subtriangular, notched in terminal (Fig. 12G). Ovipositor wide relatively, distal half of dorsal margin armed with fine teeth (Fig. 12H).
Comparison. H. (T.) spinosus robustus subsp. nov. is very similar to H. (T.) spinosus spinosus (Figs. 11A–H; 12A–H), but differs in the size (length of pronotum, tegmina, and hind femora of male in H. (T.) spinosus robustus subsp. nov. are 7.7–7.9, 35.8–36.2 and 18.9–20.6mm respectively, but these are 7.3–8.3, 30.3–34.2 and 17.6–19.6 mm in H. (T.) spinosus spinosus, respectively). H. (T.) spinosus robustus subsp. nov. have more spines on hind femora dorsally than H. (T.) spinosus spinosus (11 vs. 7–9).
Measurements (in mm): Male: SZ 45.0–47.9, PR 7.7–7.9, FW 35.8–36.2, HF 18.9–20.6; Female: SZ 59.2, PR 10.5, FW 47.9, HF 22.3, OV 19.4.
Etymology: Subspecies name robustus means it’s stronger than H. (T.) spinosus spinosus.
Distribution: China (Guangxi).

Material examined. Iran: Gilan province, Qazi Chak, 17. V.–23. VI.2010, leg. M. Kheirandish, one male. Deposited in the HNHM.
Remarks. This species was recently described from North Korea, based on females (Vas 2023b). The Iranian record suggests that this apparently rare species is widely distributed in the Eastern Palaearctic region.
Complementary description of male sex. Similar to female in all characters given in the original description (Vas 2023b), except the following. Area basalis is barely separated from area superomedia in male (while these are distinctly separated in female), and second tergite is more elongate in male than in female, almost 2.0× as long as its apical width.

Type species: Myrmeleon lagopus Gerstaecker, 1894:143.
Nedroledon striatus Hölzel, 1972: 65, Figs 191 (wings), 192–195 (male and female genitalia).
Diagnosis: The genus is closely related to Nedroledon Navás, 1914 in the habitus and structure of the wings and inner male genitalia. However, the postventral processus of the male ectoproct is very long. Tibial spurs are generally shorter than in Nedroledon species, and they are as long as tarsal segment 1 in the hind leg. This new genus contains three species.
Description: Middle-sized species. Sexually dimorphic, male abdomen considerably longer than wings, female abdomen as long as wings. Head as wide as thorax. Vertex arched, almost bare. Pronotum is longer than the width at the distal margin, with a pair of lateral irregular dark brown stripes running through their entire length and with a bright, light-coloured line in the middle (Figs. 14a, 15a–c). Fore and hindwing narrow, with rather subacute apex and obtuse anal area, venation not dense. Cross-veins simple in coastal area. Pterostigma bicoloured. In forewing radius sector originates after cubital fork, A2 bifurcate, A3 simple. 7–9 cross-veins before origin of R 1 in forewing, in hindwing only one cross-vein (Fig. 5). Legs long and slender. Tibial spurs slightly bent and in hind leg as long as tarsal segment 1. Tarsal claws opposable. Male ectoproct with long postventral processus. Parameres arch-shaped.
Distribution: Iran, Turkey, Turkmenistan. It is found in several provinces of the Irano-Turanian Subregion of the Sethian (Saharo-Gobian) Desert Region. (Krivokhatsky 2011) (Fig. 6).
The genus could have split off from its common ancestor during the developmental adaptation to Asian aridification in the Oligocene when the ejected sister genus Nedroledon broke up into its eastern and western parts. According to the preferred Sethian desert model, the distributions of the species are associated with two centres of biodiversity, i.e., the Irano-Turanian-Anatolian (D. lagopus, D. iranensis) and eastern Irano-Turanian (D. aspoecki).
Etymology: Dominikon originates from the name of Dominik, after the name of the sixteen-year-old son of the second author (RD), who was born at the time when the new taxon was recognized.
