Pseudomyrmex nigropilosus (Emery); Kempf 1958:453.
Worker diagnosis. With the traits of the P. gracilis group (see couplet 6 of key) and the following more specific features. Head longer than broad (Cl 0.84-0.90); anterior margin of median clypeal lobe convex, conspicuously protruding; dorsolateral margination of pronotum usually blunt; mesonotum more steeply inclined than basal face of propodeum; petiole relatively robust (PLI 0.69- 0.77) with a short anterior peduncle (Fig. 7, 53); head and mesosoma densely punctulate to coriarious-imbricate, and subopaque; standing pilosity conspicuous on most of the body including the outer faces of the tibiae, consisting largely of black hairs, those on the petiole and propodeum long (> 0.20 mm) and curved. Color varying from concolorous orange-brown to bicolored orange and black to (western Mexico) predominantly black with orange mottling on the head, mesosoma, and appendages.
Taxonomic comments. - Among the Pseudomyrmex species recorded from swollen-thom acacias, P. nigropilosus is easily identified by its elongate eyes and head (REL 0.55-0.59, Cl 0.84- 0.90), short petiole (PLI 0.69-0.77), and conspicuous black pilosity (Fig. 7). Kempf (1958) provides further descriptive details.
Distribution and biology. - P. nigropilosus is found from Nayarit, western Mexico to Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, and is restricted to nesting in swollen-thom acacias (including Acacia collinsii, A. cornigera and A. hindsii). It is a member of the P. gracilis group and therefore not closely related to the principal group of acacia-ants (P. ferrugineus group). Janzen (1975) points out that P. nigropilosus is essentially a parasite of the Pseudomyrmex / Acacia mutualism. It occupies abandoned or otherwise uninhabited plants and reaps the benefits of this association without protecting the acacia from herbivores or competing plants. Additional information about the ecology of this species is given in Janzen (1975).

description: Methyl Violet (MV) removal from aqueous solutions is studied using an Algerian Bentonite sample as a low-cost adsorbent. SEM-EDX, X-ray diffraction, and chemical composition characterized the adsorbent material. The modeling and optimization study of MV adsorption using artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM) were also examined. The effects of pH, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature are all considered. The adsorption kinetics results are adjusted to best fit the pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir-Freundlich and Langmuir models well describe the experimental data with an adsorption capacity of 472 mg g−1. The calculated thermodynamic data demonstrates that adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic. Desorption studies with methanol indicate that the adsorbent could successfully retain MV, even after five cycles. The statistical physics theory indicates the non-parallel orientation of the MV molecule’s adsorption. The adsorption energies varied from 13.99 to 17.60 kJ mol−1, revealing the physical adsorption systems. From these results, it can be considered that the raw Algerian bentonite sample tested herein is effective in removing MV from aqueous solutions and may be used as an alternative to high-cost commercial adsorbents.

(Fig. 9)
Pseudomyrmex simulans Kempf 1958:459. Holotype worker, Tumba Muerta Road, Panama (W. M. Wheeler) (MCZC) [Examined],
Worker diagnosis. - With the traits of the P. gracilis group (see couplet 6 of key) and the following more specific features. Head longer than broad (Cl 0.86-0.90); anterior margin of median clypeal lobe straight to broadly convex, rounded laterally; pronotum with sharp dorsolateral margination; mesonotum more steeply inclined than basal face of propodeum; petiole relatively short and high (PLI 0.61-0.66), with a distinct anterior peduncle (Figs. 9, 53), and with moderate dorsolateral margination; head and mesosoma finely punctulate-coriarious to coriarious-imbricate, subopaque; standing pilosity rather short, pale and inconspicuous, present on the mesosoma dorsum and (usually) outer surfaces of the tibiae, but sometimes lacking or worn off on the latter; fine appressed pubescence on most of body; dark brown-black in color, distal portions of appendages lighter; mandibles luteous.
Taxonomic comments. - This curious species bears a superficial resemblance to the obligate acacia-ants (P. ferrugineus group), although its affinities to other P. gracilis group species are clear from eye size, pilosity, palp formula, mesosomal structure, and male genitalia. P. simulans can be recognized by the combination of elongate eyes (REL 0.52-0.55), short petiole (PLI 0.61-0.66), short inconspicuous pilosity, and black color.
Distribution and biology. - P. simulans is known only from a few collections, all from swollen-thom acacias (A. collinsii), in Panama (Canal Zone and the provinces of Veraguas, Los Santos and Panama). Nothing has been published about its nesting biology or behavior, but Janzen’s field notes indicate that the workers are more timid than those of the P. ferrugineus group. One might surmise that its habits are similar to those of P. nigropilosus, although the two species do not appear to be one another’s closest relatives (Ward 1991).

description: Genus Succinoraphidia Aspöck & Aspöck, 2004
Type species. Succinoraphidia exhibens Aspöck & Aspöck, 2004, by original designation.
Diagnosis based on wing venation. In fore- and hind wings, [1] pterostigma elongate with one incorporated branch (veinlet) of RA; [2] RA distad pterostigma not forked; [3] RP distad crossvein 3ra-rp not forked; [4] crossvein 3ra-rp located distad pterostigma. In hind wing, [5] crossvein 1r-m long, longitudinal; [6] AA1 and CuP fully separate; [7] crossvein between AA1+2 and AA3 present.
Species included. Three species from the late Eocene of Europe: S. exhibens and S. baltica (Carpenter, 1957), comb. nov. (both from Baltic amber); S. radioni sp. nov. from Rovno amber.
Comments. The genus Succinoraphidia differs from other genera of the family by male genitalia in which the gonapophyses 9 are completely free and bear a subapical hook; these character states are found in S. exhibens (Aspöck & Aspöck 2004). However, other known specimens (i.e., the holotypes of S. baltica and S. radioni sp. nov., and two not reported specimens of this genus from Baltic amber) are represented by females. Nevertheless, the venation of all these specimens is so similar that their assignment to the same genus is undoubted. In particular, their wings possess some character states not occurring in other genera of Raphidiidae [characters 3, 6, 7].

Pseudomyrmex subtilissimus (Emery 1890); Kempf 1972:224.
Worker diagnosis. - A member of the P. subtilissimus group, and immediately distinguishable from all other acacia-associated Pseudomyrmex by its small size (HW <0.60), elongate head (Cl <0.66), apedunculate petiole, and scarcity of standing pilosity. See Ward (1989:432) for further discussion of this species.
Distribution and biology. - P. subtilissimus has been collected only in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. What little is known about its biology suggests that it is a timid, non-protective species living in the thorns of Acacia plants occupied by (declining?) colonies of P. flavicornis.

description: Accurately assessing outcomes of students’ motivation when solving complex food system problems through integrating STEM learning can describe their learning experiences and help teachers make relevant connections. This study shows high school students self-reported that they were motivated by solving food system STEM projects.The purpose of the study was to predict high school students’ self-efficacy (confirmed by Exploratory Factor Analysis, EFA) based on Situated Expectancy-Value Theory (SEVT) variables (confirmed by EFA). The convenience sample for this study was students from four high schools in Indiana (N = 160) who had participated in food system STEM projects at their schools. Quantitative data was collected using the Food System Motivation Questionnaire containing 41 items related to two self-efficacy variables and five SEVT variables. Quantitative data were analyzed using Principal Components Analysis, descriptive statistics, simple linear correlations, and multiple regression. Qualitative data were collected using a focus group interview protocol (Appendix D) and analyzed using thematic coding (deductive) followed by pattern coding. Quantitative and qualitative findings were analyzed using triangulation.There were four conclusions to this study. First, the Food System Motivation Questionnaire accurately and reliably measured five variables aligned with SEVT motivation. Second, students were motivated regarding the project’s usefulness in their local contexts and reported higher cultural project self-efficacy after completing the project. Third, over 70% of high school students’ cultural project self-efficacy to complete a food system STEM project can be predicted based on their local context utility value, personal importance and usefulness, intrinsic value, and cost value. Local context utility value was the highest contributor of unique variance. Last, after completing the food system STEM projects, urban high school students shared they made connections to their families, local and global community contexts, and future careers and applications. Implications regarding how teachers can motivate high school students to solve food system STEM projects were discussed.

Type material. Holotype: Specimen No. 5122, deposited in MCZ. A nearly complete female. Verbatim label data: [hand written] “ Neuroptera / 17941”; [typed and hand written] “Mus. Comp. Zool. / no. 5122 / Raphidia / baltica / Carpenter / 272 Baltic amber”.
Type locality. Baltic amber (precise collecting locality is unknown).
Comments. The pterostigma of this species is not shorter than in other species of the genus (Fig. 5). The venation of the holotype is correctly figured by Carpenter (1957) and fully concordant with the diagnosis of Succinoraphidia. At least, the species cannot be assigned to Raphidia Linnaeus, 1758 or any other genus of the extant and fossil Raphidiidae as some character states of S. baltica are absent in these (see below).

Scutellum dull brownish yellow, with dark spot near each basal angle, two small dark spots on apical area. Face pale yellow, basal half mottled with black. Forewing pale brown, mottled with black.
Male genitalia. Pygofer lobes rounded posteriorly with stout setae ventrally. Xth segment weakly produced anteriorly (Fig. 81) Subgenital plate obtusely produced on lateral margin near base with apex rounded, two rows of stout setae on lateral margin. Style with well developed preapical lobe, apophysis long curved laterally with median protuberance laterally. Connective short, with arms as long as stem. Aedeagus simple, dorsal apodeme well developed, preatrium reduced, shaft curved posterodorsally with large gonopore on ventral margin.
Female genitalia. Seventh sternite longer medially than sixth, lateral angles of posterior margin rounded, medially produced without median concavity, area adjacent to median projection shallowly concave, median projection longer than lateral rounded angles.
Measurements. Male 4.6–4.7 mm long, 1.7 mm wide across head, 1.9 mm wide across pronotum.
Material examined. INDIA: Kodaikanal: 21 specimens (♂ and ♀), various months and years 1914–1918 on reverse of specimen mount (e.g., ‘5.17’), T.V.

Remarks. This species was described from an unknown number of specimens of both sexes (syntypic) with the following data: ‘South India; Kodaikanal (T.V. Campbell)’. No specimen of this species, bearing Distant’s usual type label, has been found in the BMNH. Although there are several topotypic specimens collected by T.V. Campbell in the BMNH (see above) they have a modern label and are not considered types (see Material and methods). However, two specimens (labeled Pulney Hills, Kodaikanal) found in TNAU agree with the description and do have Distant’s determination label. The basal lobe of the aedeagal shaft, present in both T. gravelyi and T. greeni, is absent in this species.

description: Genus Bispira Krøyer, 1856
Remarks. A partial revision of Bispira was provided by Knight-Jones & Perkins (1998). A cladistic analysis was undertaken by Fitzhugh (1989), which found Bispira as monophyletic with the inclusion of the sister taxa Branchiomma Kölliker, 1858, and Pseudobranchiomma Jones, 1962, supported by a number of synapomorphies: presence of interramal eyespots; inferior thoracic notochaetal fascicles in bundles with longitudinal chaetal rows, and abdominal neuropodial tori in the form of conical lobes. On the contrary, the hypothesis provided by Capa (2008), found Bispira as paraphyletic without the inclusion of Pseudobranchiomma and Branchiomma, but the high homoplasy and the low jacknife support for the clade suggest that these results are preliminary. Currently Bispira is composed of 22 species (Capa et al. 2014). In South America, only one species of Bispira is currently known, B. klautae Costa-Paiva & Paiva, 2007, from Rocas Atoll (Brazil).

description: This thesis aimed to investigate the effects of a synbiotic (combination of a prebiotic and probiotics) on measures of physical function and muscle health in older adults. Sixty-four community-dwelling older women and men were allocated (1:1) to receive a multi-strain synbiotic or placebo daily for 16 weeks. 16 weeks of synbiotic supplementation resulted in increased lean body mass and significant improvements in muscle strength and physical performance compared with placebo. Compared with placebo, supplementation with synbiotic was associated with improved muscle architecture as assessed by ultrasound. Beneficial links between synbiotic intake and untargeted serum metabolomics were observed.

description: Succinoraphidia and ‘Mesoraphidiidae’
It is now clear that the Mesozoic ‘Mesoraphidiidae’ is a paraphyletic group, which includes in particular the stem lineages leading to extant Raphidiidae and Inocelliidae (Makarkin & Archibald 2014). The venation of Succinoraphidia is more similar to that of some ‘Mesoraphidiidae’ than the venation of any genus of Raphidiidae. Moreover, there are a few mesoraphidiids in which all diagnostic character states of Succinoraphidia are found (except for the structure of the pterostigma). It is characteristic of some minute species from the early Late Cretaceous, e.g., Grimaldiraphidia luzzii (Grimaldi, 2000) from the Turonian New Jersey amber; Nanoraphidia electroburmica Engel, 2002 and Burmoraphidia reni Liu et al., 2016 from the early Cenomanian Burmese amber. These genera are considered to belong to the tribe Nanoraphidiini (Bechly & Wolf-Schwenninger 2011; Liu et al. 2016). But the structure of their pterostigma differs from that of Succinoraphidia. It lacks the crossvein 2scp-r at the proximal end of the pterostigma (B. reni) or incorporated branches of RA within pterostigma (G. luzzii and N. electroburmica). However, the pterostigma of some other ‘Mesoraphidiidae’ from Burmese amber (e.g., Dolichoraphidia engeli Liu et al., 2016) is very similar to that of Raphidiidae with a long pterostigma, including Succinoraphidia, i.e., it possesses the crossvein 2scp-r at the proximal end of the pterostigma and the incorporated branch of RA within the pterostigma (see Liu et al. 2016: Fig. 4). The venation of Dolichoraphidia engeli differs from that of Raphidiidae only by the number of discoidal cells: one in D. engeli and normally two in all Raphidiidae, except some species, which have one discoidal cell in the hind wings, e.g., those of Harraphidia Steinmann, 1963 (see Monserrat & Papenberg 2006: Figs 1–4).
Judging from great similarity of the venation of Nanoraphidiini (and similar genera of the Late Cretaceous ‘Mesoraphidiidae’) and Succinoraphidia, among the former may be present a stem group leading to Raphidiidae.

Remarks. The fossil genus † Furcembolus was first assigned to Pacullidae by Magalhaes et al. (2020). Pacullidae can be distinguished from Tetrablemmidae by their larger size (total length 3.0–9.0), heavily rugose cuticle and by lacking a pair of large membranous receptacles in the female genitalia (Shear 1978; Lehtinen 1981; Wheeler et al. 2017). Though characters concerning female genitalia are almost impossible to observe in fossil specimens, † Furcembolus can be assigned to Pacullidae by their size (>3.0) and rugose cuticle.
