description: Parahelice sp. 1
Material examined. 2 females (21.3 × 17.2, 18.3 × 14.8 mm), ZRC 2023.0245, st. VM34, Palikulo Peninsula, Sanma Province, Espiritu Santo Island, Vanuatu, 23 Sep. 2006.
Remarks. In the collection of Parahelice from Vanuatu, there are an additional 3 specimens superficially similar to Par. ngankeeae. The 3 specimens form two closely related clades, sister to Par. ngankeeae based on the molecular analyses (Fig. 5; Table 2). One clade (Par. sp. 1) has 2 females (ZRC 2023.0245) that agree with the character of suborbital cristae of Par. georgei described in K. Sakai et al. (2006). Another clade (Par. sp. 2) with 1 male (ZRC 2023.0246) also conforms to the male characters of suborbital cristae, chelipedal manus, and male G1s of Par. georgei. Further study is necessary to confirm the identity of the two species.

Type material. Holotype male (PSUNHM). Thailand: Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Huai Yang Waterfall National Park, 11°36’32”N, 99°37’43”E, ca. 105 m a.s.l., 6 November 2016, leg. Pongsak Laudee.
Etymology. Named for Asst. Prof. Dr. Niwat Keawpradubi, who is the President of Prince of Songkla University.
Description. Length of each male forewing 6 mm; specimens in alcohol with head, thorax, forewings, abdomen, and legs black.
Male genitalia (Figs. 1–7). In lateral view, segment VIII rectangular with two lobes dorsoapically, apical margin with numerous long and strong setae; in dorsal view with U-shaped incision apicomesally. Segment IX in lateral view longitudinally short, tall, without ventral process; in ventral view U-shaped. Preanal appendages small, round, with short setae. Segment X divided into two processes, upper processes slender, 2/3 as long as lower processes and tapering to acute apices, lower processes long, slender, dilate apically; in dorsal view upper processes of segment X tubular and L-shaped, lower processes tubular, curved inward, and rounded apically. Inferior appendages rectangular, each with bulging process apicoventrally, acute apex; in ventral view cylindrical with claw-like spine apically. Phallus in later view tubular, truncated apically (Figs. 6, 7).
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of C. keawpradubi n sp. appear similar to those of C. aneca Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1993 and C. matura Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1993 found in Thailand, C. haimuoinam Malicky 1995 found in Vietnam, and C. gerson Malicky 2009 found in Borneo. They share the character that the apicodorsal margins of segment XIII have numerous strong setae and segment X is divided into two pairs of processes. However, the new species is distinguished from the others by the characters of the inferior appendages, each with a bulging process subapicoventrally and a claw-like spine apically, which are not present in the previously described species.

Anatanais robustus forma crassus Riggio, 1975: 128
Anatanais robustus crassus Riggio, 1976: 503, figs 6–8. Hexapleomera crassa.— Riggio, 1996: 648 –649, fig. 22.
Remarks: This taxon was first described as a “form” of “ Anatanais ” robusta (Riggio 1975), then as a subspecies (Riggio 1976) and finally (Riggio 1996) as a separate species (see Anderson 2012), based on material collected from the Italian coasts of Naples and Sicily. Hexapleomera crassa was distinguished from his H. robusta by Riggio (1996) on the basis of its being “more oval”, having a different “length/width ratio”—being about twice that of the “typical” form (Riggio, 1976: 503) and being “significantly smaller, rarely exceeding one millimetre and a half”, on which basis he stated that “From these features it was considered a good species”. These cannot be adequate characters. It has not proved possible to find Riggio’s material.
As the published “description” is merely as above, coupled with three photographs (Riggio 1976, figs 6–8) and one figure (Riggio 1996, fig. 22), there is at present insufficient information from which to determine the validity, characteristics or even synonymy of this taxon. Riggio’s species may be synonymous with H. robusta sensu stricto. From its illustrated body proportions alone (female body 3.9 times as long as wide, male 2.9 times as long as wide, proximal article of male antennule 4.3 times as long as wide), Hexapleomera crassa is distinct from H. satella (4.5, 3.8 and 6.0 times as long as wide respectively) and only slightly closer to the proportions of H. robusta sensu Sieg (3.5, 3.2 and 5.0 times as long as wide respectively).

Diagnosis. This species is recognized within the genus Megalotomus by a combination of the following characters: body size relatively moderate, 12.5–14.0 mm in length, yellowish brown to black, with black punctures; head and pronotum with long, dense pilosity; vertex black, with pale yellow midline and macula on both sides; posterior angle of pronotum slightly upward, not sharp; forewings with small, light-coloured spots, and anterolateral margin pale; meta-femora with 3–5 spines on the inner margin of the terminal half, becoming gradually longer from proximal to terminal; surcapsular spines of the genital capsule acute and straight, extending without any projection or bifurcation; parameres strongly curved upward, elongate and slender, tapering gradually towards apex, and each with one or two prominent acute projections in the middle on the inner side.
Material examined. China: Hebei Province: 1 ♂, Xiaowutaishan National Nature Reserve, Donglingshan, 1700 m, 21-August-2005, Xin Yu leg.

Distribution. China (Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi).
Remarks. This species is readily recognized within the genus Megalotomus by its diagnostic characters, as thoroughly described and illustrated in Liu & Liu (1998). During field work in Wutaishan National Nature Reserve, Shanxi Province, China, large amounts of adults of this species were found on Melilotus officinalis, a common herbaceous plant of Leguminosae, which is highly suspected to be the host plant of this species, since there are no previous host records.

Type material. Holotype male (PSUNHM). Myanmar: Tanintharyi Division, Myeik Province, Tanintharyi, Tanintharyi bridge, 12°05’27”N, 99°00’38”E, ca. 24 m a.s.l., 16 November 2016, leg. Pongsak Laudee.
Paratypes: Same data as holotype, 22 males: 7 males (PSUNHM), 5 males (CHM), 5 males (CUAC), 5 males (NMPC).
Etymology. Named for Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sutham Niyomwas, who was the Director of the Research and Development Office, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai Campus.
Description. Length of each male forewing 4.0 mm; specimens in alcohol with head, thorax, forewings, abdomen, and legs light brown.
Male genitalia (Figures 8–11). Segment IX constricted near midheight into tergum and sternum, with acute angle between them; tergum IX in lateral view long, anterior margins broadly and shallowly concave, posterior margin pointed dorsally; square with anterior U-shaped incision half its length; sternum IX long, ventral margin broadly convex, posterior margin truncate; in ventral view rectangular, with anterior V-shaped incision 1/4 its length. Superior appendages in lateral view somewhat rectangular, slightly tapering to round apex, with scattered setae apically; in dorsal view each parallel-sided with broad subbasal tooth and blunt apex. Segment X visible only in dorsal view, tiny, slender, bifurcate. Inferior appendages each with tuft of long setae subbasodorsally, hooked dorsad in apical half; in ventral view square basally, tapering to tubular apical half, bent mesad, blunt apically, space between pair of inferior appendages shaped like sacred fig leaf. Phallus tubular in lateral view, bifurcate basally, bent subapically, obliquely truncate apically.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of E. niyomwasi n. sp. in lateral aspect appear similar to those of E. dikla Malicky 2009 found in Vietnam, but can be distinguished from them by the characters of inferior appendages. In E. niyomwasi n. sp., in lateral view the basal part of each inferior appendage is square, but is curved and tubular in E. dikla; the apical part is significantly narrower than the apical part of an inferior appendage of E. dikla, which is more expanding. In ventral view the inferior appendages of E. niyomwasi n. sp. are square basally and tubular apically, but triangular in E. dikla.

Downesatax Vidrine, 1992: 463.
Smithatax Vidrine, 1992: 463 new syn.
Vidrine (1992) erected the subgenera Downesatax and Smithatax for a number of small Unionicola species. Species of these two subgenera have a very similar genital field, but differ in leg setation, especially of the first leg. Species of Downesatax have short leg setae, while those of Smithatax have long leg setae, but not on tubercles, as stated by Vidrine (1992, 1996). With the description of three more species (U. longipalpis n.sp., U. latiseta n.sp. and U. curvipalpis n.sp.), the differences between these subgenera have become blurred. There are three species with the first leg with long, heavy setae (U. minutissima, U. alpa, U. longipalpis), one species with the first leg with shorter heavy setae (U. vidrinei) and two species with the first leg with a reduced number of setae, which are not as heavy as in the previous species (U. latiseta, U. curvipalpis). Therefore I synonymise the two subgenera. The heavy setae of the first leg of species belonging to the subgenus Downesatax are not on tubercles, as in the larger species, e.g. those of the subgenera Edwardsatax, Hexatax or Giselatax. Setal tubercles of PIV of the newly formed subgenus vary from large (U. minutissima, U. latiseta, U. longipalpis), to small (U. alpa) to absent (U. curvipalpis, U. vidrinei).

Figs. 12–15
Type material. Holotype male (PSUNHM). Thailand: Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Pala U waterfall, Kaeng Krachan National Park, Hua Hin, 12°32’47”N, 99°28’19”E, ca. 357 m a.s.l., 23 October 2016, leg. Pongsak Laudee.
Paratypes. Same data as holotype, 5 males (PSUNHM)
Etymology. Named for Asst. Prof. Dr. Sirirat Pinsuwan who was the Dean of Faculty of Pharmacy, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai Campus.
Description. Length of each male forewing 3.0–3.5 mm (n = 9); specimens in alcohol with head, thorax, abdomen, forewings, and legs dark brown.
Male genitalia (Figures 12–15). Segment IX membranous dorsally; sternum IX mango-shaped in lateral view, rounded basodorsally and anteriorly, protruding apicoventally to rounded apex. Preanal appendages large, in lateral view square basally, tubular apically, with apex round; in dorsal view bird-head-shaped, with strong setae apicoventrally. Tergum X membranous. Inferior appendages tubular, protruding ventrocaudad, rounded apically, each with long straight spine on its inner side. Phallus long vertically, arched anteriorly with acute apex, branched with short acute apex basally in lateral view.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of the new species very closely resemble those of P. amphiaraos Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1997 and other species similar to P. capillata Ulmer 1910 found in Thailand, including P. kuni Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1993, P. kiskinda Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1993, and P. lak Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1993. However, P. pinsuwanae n. sp. can be distinguished from these by characters of the inferior appendages. The inner (dorsal) branch of each inferior appendage has a long, straight spine on its inner side without spinulets. Psychomyia amphiaraos (Fig. 16) has no such inner spine, and in the other species this spine has various short spinulets.

Etymology. Named for Asst. Prof. Wasin Suwannarat who is the Vice President of Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai Campus.
Description. Length of each male forewing 6.0 mm; specimens in alcohol with head, thorax, abdomen, and legs light brown. Forewings white.
Male genitalia (Figs. 17–21). Segment IX in lateral view flask-like, longitudinally short (narrow) dorsally and long (expanded) ventrally, rounded basoventrally, projected apicoventrally; in dorsal view with small sharp projection anteriorly and rounded excision posteriorly; in ventral view transverse anterior margin nearly straight, posteriorly with deep V-shaped incision nearly dividing venter into two parts. Preanal appendages reduced to pair of setal patches on posterodorsal submesal margins of segment IX. Segment X divided into pair of long, slender rods, slightly diverging through most of their length and then curved ventrad and slightly asymmetrically mesad apically. Inferior appendages stout, protruding upward, fused basally with U-shaped space between them in ventral view; each with middle portion broader and with short setae on mesal margin especially in ventral view, distal portion rounded apically in lateral view, in ventral view narrow and curved slightly mesad subapically, blunt apically. Phallus tubular with long slender acute spine dorsally in lateral view, torpedo-shaped with very long slender spine in ventral view.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of the new species are very similar in lateral aspect to those of L. agaue Malicky and Chantaramongkol 1996 and L. ganymedes Malicky and Chantaramongkol 2002 (in Malicky et al. 2002) found in Thailand, but can be distinguished from them by the characters of segment X. In L. agaue and L. ganymedes, the long slender processes of segment X are asymmetrical, but nearly symmetrical in the new species. The phallus of L. suwannarati n. sp. is cylindrical, but oval in L. agaue and stout and tubular in L. ganymedes.

description: Abstract: Rice is major cereal crop for food and nutritional security of Nepalese people.  The study aimed screening of superior genotypes based on quanitative traits for irrigated condition. The research was carried out at National Rice Research Program (NRRP), Hardinath in 2019. The augmented randomized complete block design was adopted with six blocks. The study tested ninety advanced breeding materials developed through conventional breeding method as testing materials and six released varieties as replicated checks. The yield attributing traits such as days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, panicle length, filled grain percentage per panicle and grain yield ton per ha were recorded. ANOVA, descriptive statistics, genetic variability and cluster performance were determined to the studied traits and genotypes. All traits showed significant differences among genotypes at 1% and 5% level of significance due to different genetic loadings of parents used in crosses. The highest GAM, PCV and GCV recorded for grains yield per ha. Broadsense heritability recorded highest to phonological traits followed by filled grain percentage, plant height and panicle length. The grain yield had positive and highly significant (p<0.01) relation with filled grain percentage. The phonological traits showed positive and highly significant correlation with each other. A circular dendrogram based on five traits (MD, PH, PL, FGP, AGY) grouped into seven clusters. Cluster 1, 2, 3 and 5 grouped early maturity type, good filled grain percentage, short plant height, and high yielding with good filled grain percentage genotypes, respectively. The high heritability coupled with genetic gain helps in precise selection of traits for further improvement. High heritability coupled with genetic advance and GCV values found for days to heading, days to maturity, filled grain percentage and plant height. This allows the selection of these traits directly for improvement because of presence of additive gene action.

Type species.
Molge wolterstorffi Boulenger, 1905, by original designation.
Common name.
Chinese Fire-bellied Newts (in English) / diān yuán shǔ (滇螈属 in Chinese).
Distribution.
Endemic in mainland China.
Remark.
In spite of the paraphyletic relationships and distinct geographical isolation, species of the mainland genus Hypselotriton are very similar to those of insular genus Cynops in morphology, resulting in the prolonged categorising of these Fire-bellied Newts in a single genus. Hypselotriton can be distinguished from Cynops by the inconspicuous parotoid gland (vs. well developed) and smooth or slightly granular skin (vs. distinctly granular).

Bufotes viridis sensu lato green toads are rare in the assemblage and were identified by five presacral vertebrae (Figure 5a). The transverse processes are broken in all the vertebrae in the assemblage, but some diagnostic traits are still apparent. The vertebrae are procoelous. The cotyle is oval, elongated and is flattened dorsoventrally (semi-lunar shaped). The condyle is also oval and flattened dorsoventrally. In the dorsal view, the neural arch is flattened and wide anteroposteriorly. In the anterior view, the neural canal is wide (the width greater than the height) and oval. The prezygapophyses are dorsolaterally tilted. In posterior view the postzygapophyses are wide, dorsally flattened and laterally protruding. While there are no established osteological differences between the extant group of Bufotes viridis sensu lato (e.g. B. oblongus, B. viridis, B. boulengeri, B. balearicus and B. variabilis) (Blain et al. 2010), for the analysis bellow we identified the remains as Bufotes variabilis on biogeographic grounds (Stöck et al. 2006).
The species inhabits predominantly a wide variety of Mediterranean habitats including the Mediterranean maquis (montane Mediterranean vegetation); however, it can also inhabit arid/ semi-arid habitats (supplementary Figure 2a). This species was identified at various Epipaleolithic sites in Israel: The Kebaran site of Urkan e-Rub IIa (Hovers et al. 1988), the Epipaleolithic layers of Sefunim Cave (Tchernov 1984), the Natufian layers of Abu Usba Cave (mixed layer with Holocene intrusions, Stekelis and Haas 1952), Eynan (Ain Mallaha) (Biton et al. 2021) and EWT (Lev et al. unpublished data).

description: The larvae of the black soldier fly (BSFL) can efficiently convert food waste into valuable biomass. They are also an alternative source of fat, protein, and chitin, but little is known about the total microbiota of the whole BSFL and its impact on the microbiological safety of food and feed. This study was conducted to determine bacterial microbiota dynamics of the whole BSFL and frass residues during the industrial rearing process, including the effects of thermal treatment, counts and identification of cultivable bacteria, and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The second and the fourth instar larvae, frozen and dried fourth instar larvae, and frass samples were examined. The composition of the total bacterial microbiota in BSFL samples was similar and dominated by Proteobacteria while in frass Firmicutes prevailed. The lowest diversity was observed in the second instar larvae and the highest in the frass. The samples showed a relatively low bacterial community diversity. In agreement with the analysis of the total microbiota, the isolated cultivable bacterial strains were members of Proteus, Providencia, Morganella, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, and Bacillus genera. The counts of cultivable bacteria increased during the growth of larvae and were similar in the fourth instar larvae and frass residues. Dried larvae had the lowest number of viable counts and were dominated by spore-forming bacteria. The determined viable aerobic counts meet the criteria for edible insects. ARGs conferring resistance to aminoglycosides (aac-aph), β-lactams (blaZ), erythromycin (ermA), tetracycline (tetM, tetW), and vancomycin (vanA, vanB) were detected by PCR, with the highest diversity and detection rate in frass. The gene tetM was the most widespread and detected in all groups of the tested samples. The results of this work extend the scarce knowledge about the dynamics of microorganisms and ARGs in the industrial-scale food waste upcycling process by BSFL.

Content and remarks.
This subgenus includes all known Fire-bellied Newts populations distributed in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in southwestern China. Currently, four nomenclatures have been provisionally documented, i. e. H. (Hy.) chenggongensis (Kou & Xing, 1983), H. (Hy.) cyanurus (Liu, Hu & Yang, 1962), H. (Hy.) wolterstorffi (Boulenger, 1905) and H. (Hy.) yunnanensis (Yang, 1979) (Lyu et al. 2023 a). However, the exact taxonomic status for these populations / species is still unresolved (Raffaëlli 2022; Lyu et al. 2023 a). Thus, it is improper to present a key to these nomenclatures before a comprehensive study to precisely delimitate their taxonomic placements.

description: This research investigates the use of Large Language Model (LLM) embeddings to capture the unique stylistic features of authors in Authorship Attribution (AA) tasks. Specifically, the focus of this research is on evaluating whether LLM-generated embeddings can effectively capture stylistic nuances that distinguish different authors, ultimately assessing their utility in tasks such as authorship attribution and clustering.The dataset comprises news articles from The Guardian authored by multiple writers, and embeddings were generated using OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 model. These embeddings were subsequently passed through a Siamese network with the objective of determining whether pairs of texts were authored by the same individual. The resulting model was used to generate style embeddings for unseen articles, which were then evaluated through classification and cluster analysis to assess their effectiveness in identifying individual authors across varying text samples. The classification task tested the model's accuracy in distinguishing authors, while the clustering analysis examined whether style embeddings primarily captured authorial identity or reflected domain-specific topics.Our findings demonstrate that the proposed architecture achieves high accuracy for authors not previously encountered, outperforming traditional stylometric features and highlighting the effectiveness of LLM-based style embeddings. Additionally, our experiments reveal that authorship attribution accuracy decreases as the number of authors increases, yet improves with longer text lengths.
