description: 2. Opuntia kingstoniana Guiggi sp. nov. (Figs. 3–4)
Type: ― JAMAICA. Kingston, June 1914, Rose 18503 sub Opuntia tuna (L.) Mill. (holotype US00180263!, corpus, areolae, spinae; isotype NY1496104!, corpus, areolae, spinae).
– Opuntia tuna sensu Britton & Rose (1919: 113–114), non (L.) Mill.
Diagnosis: ―It differs from Opuntia tuna by its lower habit to 0.9 m tall (vs. to 3 m); smaller cladodes to 16 cm long (vs. to 40 cm), light green (vs. bluish green), with entire margins (vs. ± undulate); spines acicular, straight, greyish in age (vs. subulate, curved or twisted, yellow ± brown banded), to 6 in number (vs. to 10); fruit 3 cm long (vs. 5.0– 7.5 cm).
Description: ―Shrubby habit, 60–90 cm high, with horizontal branching pattern; cladodes light green, darker around the areoles, normally obovate, to 16 cm long; leaves small, early deciduous; areoles large, brownish later grayish; spines initially brownish-yellow, later greyish darker at apex, normally straight and reflexed, 2–6 in number, 3.5–5.0 cm long; glochids yellowish; flower yellowish slightly tinged of red, 5 cm in diameter, inner tepals oblong, rounded at apex, outer tepals orbicular, filaments greenish below, style and stigma-lobes cream or yellowish; pericarpel obovoid, intense green, with areoles and tufts of yellow glochids; fruit reddish, obovoid, ca. 3 cm long; seeds 3–4 mm in diameter.
Etymology: ―The name refers to Kingston, the capital city of Jamaica, where the species grows.
Taxonomical notes: ―This new species was reported by Britton & Rose (1919: 113–114) as Opuntia tuna, a name with priority referred over Opuntia dillenii (see the discussion below about O. tuna), but it can easily distinguished by its lower habit, smaller cladodes not glaucous, acicular spines and smaller fruits (see the above diagnosis). O. kingstoniana with its yellow flowers is also easily distinct from another Jamaican endemism O. sanguinea Proctor (1982: 239) which is characterized by its oxblood ” sanguineis ” flowers. The synonyms included in Britton & Rose (1919: 113) sub Opuntia tuna of uncertain application are not referable to O. kingstoniana.
Chorology: ―Endemic to Jamaica (Britton & Rose 1919: 114). Its disjointed distribution in Cayman Islands (see Adams 1972: 74) has not been confirmed by Proctor (1984: 320).
Illustrations examined: ― Britton & Rose (1919: 114 figs. 141–142) represent a plant and two cladodes collected by W. Harris near Kingston in 1913 (Fig. 5); Howard & Touw (1982: 176–177 figs. 8–9).
Relevant literature: ― Britton & Rose (1919), Adams (1972).

description: Pseudochillus subgen. nov.
Type species. Pseudochillus (Pseudochillus) bangaloreanus (Kaszab, 1981), here designated.
Description. Body length 4.0– 6.2 mm. Clypeus concave with small tooth. Tempora 1.5–2.0 times longer than eye length. Suborbital keel prominent and markedly convex. Occiput with triangular impression, but not sharply bordered. Junction of interval 7 and 9 on elytra forming a small obliquely directed humeral corner. Elytra glabrous. Antennomeres longer than wide.
Diagnosis. Pseudochillus subgen. nov. differs from Kaszabochillus subgen. nov. and Micropseudochillus subgen. nov. primarily in a prominent suborbital keel and tempora that are 1.5–2.0 times longer than eye length. In both, Kaszabochillus subgen. nov. and Micropseudochillus subgen. nov. the suborbital keel is reduced and the tempora are at most as long as eye length. In Kaszabochillus the clypeus is straight without tooth, while in Pseudochillus the clypeus is concave and with a small tooth. Micropseudochillus subgen. nov. also differs in oval elytra; elytral intervals not forming humeral corners; elytral intervals 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 with row of setae, while Pseudochillus subgen. nov. has elongate elytra, in middle third almost parallel; junction of interval 7 and 9 on elytra forming small obliquely directed humeral corner; glabrous elytra.

description: Aim: Breast cancer is the most recurring cancer among females and is being diagnosed as a major cause of death among women. Materials & methods: Levosulpiride Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and analyzed by physical and spectral (FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) analysis. MTT assay against MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line), scavenging activity and Molecular docking against receptors 1M17, 3PP0, 3IOK and 4KIK along ADME pharmacokinetic studies were performed. Results & conclusion: L1 and L3 synthesized derivatives have revealed better percent cell viability and inhibitory concentration (IC50) with scavenging activity as of the parent compound. L1, L3 and L9 revealed significant docking scores compared with standard drugs. Most of the derivatives showed strong pharmacokinetic profiles while no drug crossed blood–brain barrier. The newly synthesized L1 and L3 levosulpiride-derived compounds have demonstrated promising anticancer properties against breast cancer cells. Levosulpiride-derived Schiff bases were synthesized exhibiting anticancerous potency against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Spectral analysis (FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) confirms the newly synthesized derivatives. The synthesized derivatives were screened for their anticancer activity by performing an MTT Assay against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. DPPH radical scavenging activity was performed to evaluate newly synthesized compounds’ antioxidant effect. Molecular docking studies carried out & evaluated results were correlated with the results of the MTT assay. In silico ADME pharmacokinetics have been studied.

description: Aim: The current work is an extension to our previous work for the development of new thalidomide analogs. Materials & methods: Quinazolinone-based molecules carrying a glutarimide moiety have been designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated for immunomodulatory and anticancer activity. Results: Compounds 7d and 12 showed considerable immunomodulatory properties in comparison to thalidomide. 7d and 12 significantly reduced TNF-α levels in HepG-2 cells from 162.5 to 57.4 pg/ml and 49.2 pg/ml, respectively, compared with 53.1 pg/ml reported for thalidomide. Moreover, they caused 69.33 and 77.74% reduction in NF-κB P65, respectively, compared with 60.26% reduction for thalidomide. Similarly, they reduced VEGF from 432.5 to 161.3 pg/ml and 132.8 pg/ml, respectively, in comparison to 153.2 pg/ml reported for thalidomide. The two new derivatives, 7d and 12 also showed about eightfold increases in caspase-8 levels in cells treated with them. These results were slightly better than those of thalidomide. The obtained results revealed that Compound 12 had better immunomodulatory properties than thalidomide, with stronger effects on TNF-α, NF-κB P65, VEGF and caspase-8. Conclusion: This work indicates that compounds 7d and 12 have interesting biological properties that should be further evaluated and modified in order to develop clinically useful thalidomide analogs. New series of quinazoline based thalidomide analogs have been developed. The new derivatives were evaluated in vitro against cancer cell lines. The effects of new candidates on TNF-α, VEGF, caspase-8 and NF-κB were examined. The results indicate the significance of the new molecules as lead for development of immunomodulatory anticancer drugs.

Suhpalacsa Lefèbvre, 1842: 7. Type species: Ascalaphus flavipes Leach, 1814: 48. Suphalasca Hagen, 1866: 373.
Suhpalasca Banks 1913: 230.
Ceraus Navás, 1900: 95.
Diagnosis of Suhpalacsa Lefèbvre. At this time, their diagnosis for Suhpalacsa follows that given by New (1984): “Wings generally elongate and narrow, venation not particularly dense.

Female: Body length 27mm; abdomen length 19mm; forewing length 33mm; hindwing length 27mm; antennae length 21mm.
Colouration. Head: Vertex and occiput dark brown; face, clypeus and labrum yellow; mandible redbrown with black apex; maxillary and labial palpi brown. Antenna pale brown with clubbed apex dark brown; eyes black. Thorax: Nota brown, medially dark brown, without distinct markings. Lateral view of mesothorax and metathorax yellow except prothorax brown. Legs with femora pale brown, tibiae and tarsi brown; spurs and claws red-brown. Wings hyaline, Sc and R1 with cross-veins yellow brown; costal area infuscate, pterostigma yellow brown, apical area mostly hyaline except for area close to pterostigma yellow-brown. Abdomen: Red-brown with black margin on each segment.
Vestiture. Head with dense, long, yellow-brown and black hairs, especially on vertex and between antennae; thorax with sparse, long hairs; abdomen with sparse, shorter hairs.
Venation. Apical area of forewings with cells in three rows, apical area of hindwings with cells in 2–3 rows. 5–6 rows cells in cubital area of forewings, 3–4 rows cells in cubital area of hindwings.
Male genitalia. Ectoprocts with long finger-like prominence ventrally. Gonarcus and parameres united, parameres with a row of spines, pelta present.
Female genitalia. Ventrovalvae long and narrow, with long black hairs. Interdens and linguella unconspicuous.
Material examined. male Holotype, Jianfengling, Prov. Hainan, 1983. IV.27, Gu Maobin leg. (CAU- N 200184). male Paratype, Jianfengling, Prov. Hainan, 1983. V.11, Gu Maobin leg.

Distribution. China: Hainan, Guangdong.
Remarks. The diagnostic characters of Acheron are the basal flagellomeres of male with distinct spines, apical area of forewings wide with cells in four rows, apical area of hindwings with cells in 3–4 rows. cubital area of wings obviously wider than apical area of wings. In this species the basal flagellomeres are without any spines, the apical area of the forewing is narrow with cells in three rows, the apical area of the hindwing with cells in 2–3 rows, and the cubital area of wings almost equals width of the apical area. All characters of these specimens show that this species should be moved from Acheron into Suhpalacsa.

description: Genus Austrosciara Schmitz & Mjöberg, 1924
Type species: Austrosciara termitophila Schmitz & Mjöberg, 1924; [Schmitz & Mjöberg (1924): 1‒3, fig. 1].
= Ctenosciara Tuomikoski, 1960, syn. n.
Type species: Sciara hyalipennis Meigen, 1804 [Meigen (1804): 99].
Literature: Tuomikoski (1960): 110; Mohrig & Jaschhof (1999): 14‒27; Mohrig et al. (1992); Sasakawa (1994); Menzel & Mohrig (2000): 293‒299; Sutou & Ito (2003); Wu et al. (2010); 42‒50; Shin et al. (2013); Vilkamaa et al. (2012): 37‒51; Mohrig (2013): 123‒136.
Remarks. Species of Ctenosciara are characterized by macrotrichia on the posterior wing veins, at least on branches of the M-fork (macrotrichia are absent on posterior wing veins in about one third of all species), a 3- segmented palpus, a bare postpronotum, a comb-like row of bristles on the apex of the fore tibia (tibial organ), mostly divided or with 1‒3 bristles separated from the comb, claws with or without teeth, a strong apical tooth on the apex of the gonostylus, a variable number of subapical spines (seldomly a few spines above the tooth) and a simple tegmen on the hypopygium.
Although most of these characters are not developed in the brachypterous female specimens from Victoria – the comb-like row of bristles on the apex of the fore tibia, sometimes distinctly divided, is an unmistakable feature for their classification. The hypopygium of Aus. termitophila resembles, in all details, species which have been classified as Ctenosciara so far by having an apical tooth and subapical spines on the gonostylus. Species of that genus are common and widespread from the Eastern Palaearctic region to the Australian region.

Identification of the specimens (deposited in the Museum of Natural History ISEA PAS in Kraków) from Rząska (Krakowsko- Wieluńska Upland) and from Przemyśl (Western Beskidy Mts), was verified and confirmed.
This species is known only from very old records in our country, moreover it is a very rare species in the territory of Slovakia and unknown in Moravia (Stehlík & Vavřínová 1995), therefore its occurrence in Poland needs confirmation.

description: Genus Paraleucilla Dendy, 1892
“ Amphoriscidae with leuconoid organization. The thick wall is divided into two regions. The outer region is supported by the skeleton which remains essentially inarticulated, with the apical actines of cortical tetractines pointed inwards, and a layer of triactines and/or tetractines with the unpaired actine pointed outwards. The inner region of the choanoskeleton is intercalated between the original subatrial skeleton and the atrial one, and it is supported by large triactines and/or tetractines, that are scattered in disarray, and whose form is similar to the spicules found in the outer layer of the choanoskeleton, or inside the atrial skeleton. Because the original subatrial layer still remains in the outer part of the choanosome, facing the cortical tetractines, there are no typical subatrial spicules adjacent to the atrial skeleton” (Borojevic et al. 2002).
