Sunius sexspinosus

description: Sunius sexspinosus sp. n. (Figs 38-48, Map 1)
Type material:
Holotype : TR [20] - Muğla, 15 km ENE Muğla, 1190 m, pasture with stones, 37°14'58N, 28°30'07E, 10.IV.2006, V. Assing / Holotypus  Sunius sexspinosus sp. n. det. V. Assing 2006 (cAss). Paratypes: 3 , 6 : same data as holotype (cAss); 2 , 2 : same data, but leg. Wunderle (cWun).
Description:
Small species, 2.6-3.2 mm (abdomen extended). Habitus as in Fig. 38. In external morphology highly similar to S. fortespinosus, but distinguished as follows:
Coloration on average paler: forebody yellowish, elytra of same colour as head and pronotum; paratergites and apex of abdomen reddish to reddish brown. Puncturation of head on average slightly sparser, especially in median dorsal area. Elytra on average slightly shorter and more slender, approximately 0.70 times as long as pronotum (Fig. 39).
: sternite VII not distinctly modified (Fig. 40); sternite VIII unmodified, except for posterior incision (Fig. 41); aedeagus shaped as in Figs 42-47, internal sac with series of six stout, long, and distinctly sclerotised spines (Fig. 47).
Etymology: The name (Lat., adj.) refers to the presence of six stout spines in the internal sac of the aedeagus.
Comparative notes:
Based on the male sexual characters, especially the morphology of the aedeagus (shape of apex of ventral process, shape of spines in internal sac), S. sexspinosus is the adelphotaxon of S. fortespinosus. Both species are reliably distinguished only by the male primary sexual characters, particularly the shape of the apex of the ventral process (see Figs 30- 34, 42-45), as well as the number and colour of the spines in the internal sac (darker in S. fortespinosus than in S. sexspinosus).
Distribution and bionomics:
The type locality is situated some 15 km to the northeast of Muğla (Map 1). The type specimens were found under stones and sifted from grass roots between limestone gravel on a pasture with shrubs, very close to a field, at an altitude of about 1200 m (Fig. 48).

description: Geholaspis Berlese, 1918
Geholaspini with normally developed, robust chelicerae, fixed chelae with fewer than six teeth (Fig. 4); epistome triangular basally, with elongate median process (Fig. 5), or narrow, bifid median process; ventrianal shield with five pairs of pre-anal setae.
The dorsal shield has 28 pairs of setae, which may be either aciculate, lightly plumose, or distinctly plumose. A group of aciculate setae is present in the centre of the shield including at least j5, j6, z5, z6, and J2. Setae j1 are relatively short and plumose, while setae z1 are long and usually aciculate, but may be lightly plumose (G. pauperior Berlese, G. ponticus Bregetova & Koroleva). Setae j5 are displaced posteriorly so that they lie behind setae z5; they may be either anterior or just posterior to setae j6. The ventral sclerotisation is well developed; the metasternal platelets may either be free with the usual seta and pore (subgenus Geholaspis s. str.), or fused to the endopodal shields (subgenus Cyrtocheles). The epigynal shield is well sclerotised, ornamented with a punctate lineal pattern and has a truncate posterior margin. The ventri-anal shield is usually broader than long, and bears five pairs of pre-anal setae and the inguinal pores. The chelicerae are robust, with fewer than six teeth on the fixed chela (Fig. 4). The epistome is basically triangular and may have an elongate, tapering median process with distinct shoulders (i.e. G. longispinosus (Kramer) (Fig. 5)), or dentate lateral margins and a narrow, distally bifid median process. Spermathecal structures are usually not apparent, but the elongate tubuli and rami of one species have been illustrated by Athias-Henriot (1968). Males, where known (G. alpinus (Berlese), G. biperforatus Krauss, G. ponticus), have holoventral shields, a short, dorsally directed spermatodactyl and a small spur on femur II.
Notes. Geholaspis is a mainly Western Palaearctic genus, known from Ireland to the Caucasus (Bregetova & Koroleva, 1960; Hyatt & Emberson, 1988), but it is apparently most diverse in Central and Southern Europe (Krauss, 1970; Mašán, 2003). The genus is also recorded from North America, and G. longispinosus has established in New Zealand, evidently through human agency (Emberson, 1973).
Included species: Subgenus Geholaspis s. str.: G. aeneus Krauss, 1970; G. alpinus (Berlese, 1887); G. berlesei Valle, 1953; G. biperforatus Krauss, 1970; G. comelicensis Lombardini, 1962; G. forolivensis Lombardini, 1943; G. longispinosus (Kramer, 1876); G. pauperior Berlese, 1918; G. terrestris (Berlese, 1889). Subgenus Cyrtocheles Valle, 1953: G. asper (Berlese, 1904); G. ponticus Bregetova & Koroleva, 1960.

Description:
Small species, 2.7-3.3 mm (abdomen extended). Habitus as in Fig. 49. In external morphology extremely similar to S. pinniger and similar species (Figs 50-51). Distinguished only by the male sexual characters:
: sternite VII not distinctly modified (Fig. 52); sternite VIII with tubercle of distinctive shape (Figs 53-56); aedeagus shaped as in Figs 57-59, internal sac without spines, with minute subapical and pair of slender apical internal structures (Figs 60-61).
Etymology: The name (Lat., adj.: with wings) refers to the shape of the tubercle on the male sternite VIII.
Comparative notes:
Based on the male sexual characters, this species is most closely related to S. aculeatus from the Boncuk Dağı in Muğla and to S. pinniger from the Ak Dağ on the peninsula to
the northwest of Izmir. It is separated from both species reliably only by the shape of the aedeagus and of the tubercle on the male sternite VIII.
Distribution and bionomics:
Sunius pinnatus was discovered in the Karadağ range (Spil [=Sipil] nature reserve) to the south of Manisa, where it is probably endemic, as is suggested by the restricted distributions of other micropterous Sunius species occurring in Turkey and by the adaptive reductions of eye size, elytra, hind wings, and pigmentation. The type specimens were found under stones on a patch of calcareous grassland very close to the roadside at an altitude of 1200 m, together with an undescribed species of Geostiba THOMSON (Fig. 62).

description: Previous research has made significant strides in understanding children's language acquisition. However, the phenomenon of language attrition in children, particularly among bilingual children who are native Chinese speakers, remains largely unexplored. With increasing global migration and population mobility, many children who migrate during childhood lose the ability to communicate in their mother tongue within a few years. This underscores the importance of studying language attrition and the impact of newly acquired languages on the fading native language. Such research offers valuable insights into human cognition, language acquisition, and language theory. This study presents a case study of language attrition and transfer in two Chinese-English bilingual children after their move from China to the United States. The father of the subjects is a native Chinese speaker, and their mother is a native English speaker fluent in Chinese. The children spent their early childhood in China, where the dominant language at home and in society was Chinese. When the children were six (Jenny) and three and a half years old (Lisa), the family moved to the United States, making Chinese their minority language, limited to family communication.  Using regularly updated internet videos, the researcher observes family conversations from six months before the move to the year following the move. Through discourse analysis and longitudinal comparisons, this study examines the language attrition and pragmatic transfer characteristics of the two children after their relocation. The analysis focuses on discourse proportion, fluency, lexical richness, syntactic accuracy, pragmatic competence, and communicative strategies in different languages. The findings are discussed in terms of the age of onset of input deficit, family and social factors, and affective factors such as language attitudes. Unlike prior studies that regularly test children's language after immigration, this research is grounded in observations of daily family interactions, allowing for a nuanced exploration of the language attrition process. Ultimately, the findings underscore the significance of the age at which language input is diminished and the crucial role of continued, intentional reinforcement of the native language in supporting bilingual development in immigrant children.

description: Tribe Ambrysini Stål
The tribe Ambrysini currently comprises four genera, Ambrysus, Cataractocoris Usinger, Carvalhoiella, and Hygropetrocoris; a fifth genus (Picrops) is proposed here. The unifying feature of all genera in this tribe is that the propleura extend mesad to meet at the midline, thereby concealing most or all of the prosternellum. Cataractocoris was recently revised (Sites et al. 2013) and includes three species in Mesoamerica. Carvalhoiella also was recently revised (Rodrigues et al. 2016) and includes five species in the Neotropics. Hygropetrocoris is monotypic and was described from two male specimens collected on a rock seep in Guyana (Sites 2015). Ambrysus occurs from the northwestern United States (La Rivers 1951, Clark 2014) south to Argentina (La Rivers 1971) and its 92 species make it the most species-rich genus of Naucoridae (see Reynoso-Velasco et al. 2016, Reynoso-Velasco & Sites 2016a, b).

Macrocheles.— Hyatt & Emberson, 1988: 78, pars. Type species: Macrocheles analis Hyatt & Emberson, 1988.
Geholaspini with reduced dorsal (Fig 11) and ventral sclerotisation; ventral opisthosomatic sclerotisation limited to an anal shield; chelae elongate, bidentate (Fig. 12); epistome with a narrow, distally bifid median process (Fig. 13); hollow seta of palp tarsus similar in length to surrounding setae.
The dorsal shield (Fig. 11) tapers strongly from the shoulders and is mildly hypotrichous for the family, having 27 pairs of pilose setae, instead of the 28 pairs of setae found in most macrochelids. The shields of the ventral surface are weakly sclerotised and reduced in size. The epigynal shield is almost semicircular posteriorly and the epigynal pores are on the unsclerotised membrane. There are two pairs of lightly sclerotised post-epigynal platelets. The opisthogastric sclerotisation is reduced to a small oval anal shield (Fig. 14) without pre-anal setae. The epistome has a dentate anterior margin with a narrow, bifid, median process, which is distally dissected (Fig. 13). Both chelae are bidentate and elongate (Fig. 12), with the fixed chela being 3.5 times as long as its basal width. The corniculi are four times as long as their basal width, and reach the anterior margins of the pedipalpal femora. The external posterior hypostomatic setae h2 are anterior to internal hypostomatic setae h3 (Fig. 15). The hollow seta on the external surface of the palp tarsus, which is prominent in most other macrochelids, is no longer than the surrounding setae.
Males unknown.
Notes. The elongate corniculi and the anterior position of the external posterior hypostomatic setae (h2) are characters shared by all members of the Geholaspini, and the form of the epistome is almost identical to that found in Longicheles. The elongation of the cheliceral digits, though not their dentition, is another possible apomorphy shared with Longicheles. These characters clearly point to a close relationship of R. analis with the genera of the Geholaspini, rather than the previously suggested placement in the opacus species group of Macrocheles. The reduction in opisthogastric sclerotisation to a simple anal shield is, however, unique in the geholaspine group of genera. In the Macrochelidae, simple anal shields otherwise occur only in Neopodocinum and Lordocheles Krantz, neither of which appears to be closely related to R. analis.

1948b Echinocyamus megapetalus H. L. Clark. —Mortensen: p. 190–191; pl. 46: figs. 48–50.
Material studied. Nine denuded tests: WUSL/EI/152, EI/153, EI/154, EI/155, EI/156, EI/157, EI/195, EI/196, and EI/197 from Hiriketiya Bay, Sri Lanka.
Description. Shape and size —Test elongate, 3.72–7.35 mm TL; longer than broad, width, 73–80% TL; height, 41–45% TL; oral side deeply sunken, aboral side flattened.
Apical system —Situated close to centre, 50–56% TL from anterior margin; with four circular gonopores, single hydropore, sometimes distorted to resemble groove with two or three hydropores (Fig. 26).
Ambulacra —Petaloid region length more than half TL (75–90% TL); petal III with 7–14 pore pairs, anterior paired petals with 5–12 pore pairs, posterior paired petals with 7–13 pore pairs; petals broad, open distally; pore series diverging; interporiferous zones wider than poriferous zones.
Peristome —Elongate pentagonal; moderate size, length 20–28% TL, width 16–22% TL, slightly anterior of centre, 38–42% TL from anterior margin, infundibulum deep.
Periproct —Small, 9–12% TL; transversely oval; wider than long, width 11–14% TL; inframarginal, 14–23% TL from posterior margin.
Geographic range. Indo-West Pacific, from Mauritius (Clark 1914) to Coral Sea (Miskelly 2002), South Pacific Islands (Clark 1954; Mortensen 1948b) and Hawaiian Islands (Mortensen 1948b).
Bathymetric range. 20–75 m (Markello 2015).
Observed occurrence in Sri Lanka. Only denuded tests were found on the beach of Hiriketiya Bay, southern coast of Sri Lanka (Fig. 27).
Remarks. E. megapetalus is recorded for the first time in Sri Lanka. E. megapetalus is similar to E. crispus in having a deep infundibulum but E. megapetalus is easily distinguished from E. crispus and other Indo-Pacific species by having broad, diverging petals that cover the majority of the aboral surface and by its deep infundibulum. However, studied specimens show great variation in test size and petaloid area length.

With the characters of the genus. The dorsal shield leaves the posterior lateral regions of the dorsum unsclerotised and has 27 pairs of pilose setae and small lateral swellings posteriorly (Fig. 11). Setae j1 are longer than the surrounding setae, but are not laterally expanded. Setae j6 and J5 appear to be absent or displaced, but the setal pattern of the opisthonotal region is so distorted that in the absence of known juveniles, it prevents positive identification of individual setae. The sternal shield has a fine granular texture and distinct reticulations posteriorly. The metasternal plates are small and round, barely larger than the setal bases. The metasternal pores are on the unsclerotised membrane. The epigynal shield is reduced; it is almost semicircular posteriorly and has a porous surface without reticulations. The latigynal sclerites are poorly developed and the epigynal pores are on unsclerotised membrane. The sternal, epigynal and posterior ventral setae are pilose. There are two pairs of lightly sclerotised post-epigynal platelets in the opisthogastric membrane between the epigynal shield and the oval anal shield. The post-anal seta is pilose and the para-anal setae are longer and aciculate, with the para-anal extensions of the cribrum almost reaching the level of the para-anal setae (Fig. 14). The fixed chela has a median tooth and an offset subterminal tooth, while the movable chela is also bidentate (Fig. 12). The hypognathal groove has five rows of denticles, the posterior two of which are strongly developed (Fig. 15). All setae on coxa and tarsus I are simple, while all other leg segments have mainly pilose setae. The sacculus is not visible in the material examined, but elongate tubuli are apparent.
Material examined. Holotype female, England, Berkshire; non-type material, 1 female, USA, Kentucky, Lexington; 5 females, Iran, Kerman.
Notes. This species, though apparently rare in collections, is evidently widespread across the Holarctic. There does not appear to be any significant morphological difference between specimens examined from three continents.

description: Subfamily Calymeninae Milne Edwards, 1840
=Flexicalymeninae Siveter, 1977
Discussion. Siveter (1977) restricted Calymeninae to those taxa with fixigenal buttresses to the glabellar lobes and assigned the remainder of taxa to his new Flexicalymeninae. While it appears likely that Calymeninae as thus restricted is monophyletic (though the concept has never been explored analytically), it is equally apparent that Flexicalymeninae is expressly paraphyletic, a grade left over by removal of Calymeninae. Hence we elect not to formally recognize it and follow Adrain (2013, pp. 309–310) in regarding all of the taxa in question as Calymeninae.
The early history of putative members of the subfamily Calymeninae Milne Edwards, 1840, is sparsely known. Three formally named species are known from the Floian, all from Gondwanan Armorica and assigned to Platycalymene Shirley, 1936, by Courtessole et al. (1983). No named calymenine species are known from the Dapingian, and nine occur globally in the Darriwilian. The subfamily became increasingly more common thereafter and at least 58 Katian species have been named. No potential Floian calymenines have been reported from Laurentia, but several Dapingian and lower Darriwilian occurrences have been described, though not always recognized as such. These are assigned herein to an unnamed, monotypic, new Dapingian genus and to the Darriwilian Atlanticalymene n. gen. (to which a Dapingian species from Tarim is also tentatively assigned).

Figures 27, 32, 33
Material studied. Eleven denuded tests: WUSL/EI/158, EI/159, EI/161, EI/164, EI/165, EI/179, EI/180, EI/181, EI/185, EI/186, and EI/187, from Hiriketiya Bay, Sri Lanka.
Description. Shape and size —Test oval, small, 5.3–8.72 mm TL, longer than broad, width 75–84% TL, height 44–50% TL, posterior part of test wider than anterior, test slightly pointed anteriorly and truncated posteriorly; oral side slightly concave.
Apical system —Situated posterior of centre, 53–59% TL from anterior margin; with four circular small gonopores and small hydropores placed in short groove (Fig. 33, A).
Ambulacra —Petaloid area 69–76% TL, petaloid width 47–49% TL; petals short, with 5–8 pore pairs in each series of petal III and posterior petals, 3–5 pore pairs in each series of anterior-paired petals; pores small, rounded; petals broad, open distally; pore series slightly diverging; interporiferous zones similar in width to poriferous zones.
Peristome —Moderate in size, length 16–22% TL; rounded pentagonal, width 12–17% TL, situated slightly anterior of centre, 39–43% TL from anterior margin.
Periproct —Small, length 11–12% TL; squarish in outline; slightly elongate, width 8–11% TL; situated closer to peristome than posterior edge, 16–22% TL from posterior margin, four plates on periproctal membrane, no spines on plates.
Observed occurrence in Sri Lanka. Denuded tests only were found on the beach of Hiriketiya Bay, southern coast of Sri Lanka (Fig. 27).
Remarks. This taxon likely represents a new species currently under study by one of us (Rich Mooi). Fibularia sp. can be distinguished from F. cribellum, F. japonica, F. plateia, and F. nutriens in having higher numbers of pore pairs relative to TL. This species is very similar to F. ovulum as both have a relatively high number of pore pairs. However, Fibularia sp. can be consistently distinguished from F. ovulum by its lower test.

description: The genus Dolgoma Moore
Moore, 1878, Proceedings of the Scientific Meetings of the Zoological Society of London, 1878: 20.
Type species: Lithosia reticulata Moore, 1866 (by original designation).
Diagnosis. Dolgoma is a member of the Eilema genus-group. The diagnosis for the genus was provided by Dubatolov & Zolotuhin (2011). In the male genitalia, a combination of features such as an apex of distal saccular process being broadened, heavily sclerotized and armed with spinules (autapomorphy of the genus) and a short and moderately sclerotized vinculum, without coremata is characteristic for the genus. Some species of Teulisna also have setose or even spinulose distal saccular processes, but those are elongated and curved, and their vincula are more or less rectangular, weakly sclerotized and have coremata. In the female genitalia, the presence of a large, sack-like lateral diverticulum of appendix bursae is characteristic.
On the basis of male genitalia, the genus can be sub-divided into three species-groups established below.
The Dolgoma reticulata species-group. The group is characterized by: (1) a robust uncus being broadened medially and having a short claw-like tip; (2) a weakly sclerotized, X-shaped juxta (with apical branches being much shorter than lower ones); (3) an apex of distal saccular process being bulb-like, broadened and densely covered with short and thin spinules.
The Dolgoma steineri species-group. The group is characterized by: (1) a narrow uncus being broadened basally; (2) a weakly sclerotized, pentagonal juxta; (3) a bulb-like, weakly spinulose apex of a distal saccular process having longer base and being well separated from the valva surface.
The Dolgoma recta species-group. The group is characterized by: (1) a short arrowhead-shaped uncus having a longitudinal dorsal crest; (2) broad and heavily sclerotized juxta having broad and rounded lateral lobes and a V-like dorsal process medially; (3) a sacculus being evenly broadened distally with a distal saccular process being pyramidal, heavily sclerotized and armed with several long robust setae on its tip.

Ambrysus

description: Genus Ambrysus Stål
Ambrysus is distinguished from other members of Ambrysini (Table 1) by the following suite of attributes: deep convexity of the posterior margin of the head; sternum continuously covered by a fine hair pile in both sexes; narrow lateral glabrous band on the abdominal venter in both sexes; and males with variously sized and shaped pseudoparameres of tergum VIII, symmetrical parameres, ventral lobes of the phallosoma with or without teeth, and accessory genitalic process of tergum VI usually present. Ambrysus has been organized into five subgenera (La Rivers 1965, Nieser et al. 1999). Most species are in the nominate subgenus; Melloiella comprises two species in Brazil; Syncollus includes 11 species and recently was reviewed by Reynoso-Velasco et al. (2016); Acyttarus is monotypic and occurs in Death Valley, California (La Rivers 1949, Whiteman & Sites 2008); and Picrops is monotypic (La Rivers 1952), distributed in the Neotropics, and is elevated to genus rank herein (see below).
