description: Die MaCS dient der quantitativen Messung von Craving bei unterschiedlichen Einzelsubstanzen, kombiniertem und/oder multiplem Substanzgebrauch. Sie besteht aus 12 Items und vier Zusatzitems. Reliabilität: In den klinischen Gruppen zeigten sich in Übereinstimmung mit der Stabilitätsprüfung gute Koeffizienten der internen Konsistenz (Alpha über .85). Die Retestkoeffizienten bewegten sich im Bereich von .45 < rtt < .68 (klinische Gruppe) bzw. rtt = .76 (nicht-klinische Gruppe). Validität: Es fanden sich erwartungskonforme, signifikante Unterschiede der MaCS-Scores im zeitlichen Verlauf und zwischen den Konsumgruppen. Der MaCS-Score korreliert erwartungskonform und hochsignifikant mit den Validitätskriterien: Mit der Stärke des Craving (Analogskala) zu r = .56, mit dem maximalen Craving (Analogskala) zu r = .59, mit der Häufigkeit des Craving (Analogskala) zu r = .54; mit der Abstinenzzeit (Tage) zu r = -.23; mit der Entzugssymptomatik (RS-EMS) zu r = .56, ohne substanzielle Unterschiede zwischen den Konsumgruppen oder Therapieeinheiten. Normen: Auf Basis des Vergleichs der klinischen Stichprobe (N = 292) mit der nichtklinischen Stichprobe (N = 616) erfolgte eine erste Normierung und Berechnung von Cut-off-Werten.
description: The MaCS is used for the quantitative measurement of craving with different single substances, combined and/or multiple substance use. It consists of 12 items and four additional items. Reliability: In the clinical groups, good coefficients of internal consistency (alpha above .85) were found in accordance with the stability test. Retest coefficients were in the range of .45 < rtt < .68 (clinical group) and rtt = .76 (non-clinical group). Validity: There were significant differences in MaCS scores over time and between treatment groups, in line with expectations. The MaCS score correlates with the validity criteria in a highly significant manner and in line with expectations: With the strength of the craving (analog scale) at r = .56, with the maximum craving (analog scale) at r = .59, with the frequency of craving (analog scale) at r = .54; with the abstinence time (days) at r = -.23; with the withdrawal symptoms (RS-EMS) at r = .56, without substantial differences between the consumption groups or therapy units. Norms: Based on the comparison of the clinical sample (N = 292) with the non-clinical sample (N = 616) a first normalization and calculation of cut-off values was performed.

Frewena Richardson, 2013: 466.
Type species. Frewena maculata Richardson, 2013
Revised Diagnosis. This Australian genus of very small unidentate spiders can be distinguished from other euophryine genera by the shape of the spermatheca. This is subdivided into two compartments placed one on top of the other and with a well-formed long narrow diverticulum off the ventral compartment. The paired fossae are separated by a distinct septa and include two S-shaped guides. The male has a long embolus forming an anticlockwise spiral. L3 is the longest leg in both sexes.
Remarks. Frewena was described on the basis of material from the Northern Territory.A second species of this genus has now been collected from central Queensland (Fig. 60). L 3 in both species is much longer than the other legs but without strong markings or fringes, raising the possibility they are related to the Maratus Karsch, 1878 group amongst the Australian euophryines (Otto & Hill 2021). Alternatively, Frewena has independently developed the use of L 3 in mating rituals in parallel to Maratus.

Type material. Holotype: 1♂, White Mountains, Queensland, 144.80°E, 20.38°S, 2 Apr. 2000, P.J.M. Greenslade, (ANIC 42 001432).
Etymology. The name reflects the Queensland origin of the type material and is to be treated as a noun in apposition.
Diagnosis. It differs from the type species by the shorter and wider shape of the cymbium, the presence of a large bulge on the ventral surface of the tegulum and a small hooked posterior lobe. A mottled brown pattern is found on the dorsal surface of the abdomen rather than the distinctive pattern of large dark spots on the dorsal abdomen found for F. maculata. The lateral position and the shape of the embolus (Figs 75–77) and long L3 clearly show that this is a species of Frewena.
Description. Male: Cephalothorax mid to dark orange with scattered pennate grey hairs over dorsal and lateral surfaces. Relatively longer cephalothorax with a steeper posterior slope than in F. maculatus. Integument surrounding ALE, PME and PLE dark brown with scattered grey hairs. Clypeus narrow, with a sparse grey fringe. Chelicerae not geniculate, medium brown. A single very small prolateral tooth and a single small sharp retrolateral tooth are found on the distal edge of the paturon. Endites white, grading to light brown, labium dark brown. Sternum mid-brown. Dorsal abdomen light brown, with darker, lace-like patterning. Large mid-brown sclerite-like shape apparent under the surface patterning. Spinnerets pale yellow and black. Ventral abdomen same colour as dorsal surface. Legs mid-brown, without stripes or markings. L3 much longer than remainder. Palp: brown, tibia with a single long narrow apophysis. Patella with a long dorsal fringe of long thick hairs. Tegulum very broad with a proximal lobe, a projection on the distal margin and large ventrolateral swelling. The origin of the embolus lateral, forming a tapering single anticlockwise spiral then moving distally across the surface of the cingulum. Dimensions (Holotype): CL 1.4, EFL 0.6, CW 1.1 AEW 0.9 AMEW 0.6, PEW 0.9, AL 1.3, L1 1.45 (0.7+0.4+0.35+0.3+0.2), L2 1.8 (0.65+0.35+0.25+0.25+0.3), L3 2.55 (0.95+0.55+0.4+0.3+0.35), L4 2.45 (0.8+0.45+0.5+0.35+0.35).
Female: Unknown.
Distribution and Biology. Known only from the type locality, in litter (Fig. 60). As a consequence, IUCN Red List Category DD. Because of its limited known range it may be at risk through climate change or habitat loss.

Material Examined. Holotype: 1♂, Windsor Tableland, Queensland, (approx. 16° 13’S 145° 0’E), J. Thompson, M. Moulds, F. McKillop, 17 April 1994, AM KS45747. New Material: Queensland: 1♀, Black Mountain Road, Kuranda, 16.77°S, 145°6E, R. Taylor, Feehan, 22 April 1971, ANIC 42 001564.
Diagnosis. Smaller (75%) and patterning darker than other species in the genus. Copulatory openings well in advance of the spermathecae, strongly sclerotised and separated by less than the width across the pair of spermathecae (Fig. 82), unlike all other Prostheclina species. Dorsal patterning of the abdomen of the female identical to that in the male.
Description. Male: See Richardson & Żabka (2007).
Female. Small species, cephalothorax brown with darker striae on the thorax, eye field black,AME fringe absent, clypeus brown, chelicera grey-brown with medium, sharp retromarginal tooth and a medium unident promarginal tooth, endites yellow, labium yellow, sternum yellow, dorsal abdomen vanilla with strong black pattern, ventral abdomen yellow, L1-4 yellow grading to brown, palps yellow-brown with distinct brown tibial palps. Epigynes: Without obvious atria. The strongly sclerotised copulatory openings are placed well in advance of the spermathecae and separated by less than the width across the spermathecae. Proximal seminal ducts gently curved and anterior to the spermathecae, accessory glands in insemination ducts hidden if present. The distal duct proceeds anteriorly beyond the copulatory opening and then curves back and becomes hidden within a convoluted sclerotised area. Fertilization ducts very short and open onto the distal edge of the spermathecae. Dimensions: 2.45, CL 1.2 AL 1.15, EFL 0.4, CW 0.9, AEW 0.85, AMEW 0.45, PEW 0.75, L1 1.9(0.8+025+0.4+0.25+0.2), L2 1.85 (0.7+0.25+0.35+0.3+0.25), L3 2.25 (0.7+0.4+0.4+0.45+0.33), L4 2.45 (0.75+0.35+0.45+0.6+0.3).
Remarks. The male of this species is only 75% of the size all other species in the genus and has a distinctive and strongly coloured abdominal pattern. This female is the same size, and with the same distinctive pattern as the male. While it was not collected from the same locality, these are only separated by 80 km of the wet tropical forest they inhabit.
Distribution. Known only from two specimens from rainforest in north-eastern Queensland (Fig. 67). As a consequence, IUCN Red List Category DD.

description: Diploptera elliptica sp. n.
(Figs. 15–16, 22–24, 37–41)
Diagnosis. D. elliptica sp. n. is as large and has a similar color pattern to D. punctata, but has a suboval pronotum with a pair of C-shape depressions opening towards each other.
Description. General. Size medium. Holotype, male, overall length 15.8mm; body length 15.4mm; pronotum length×width 3.8mm × 4.7mm; tegmen length 11.6mm; wing length 19.3mm. Paratypes, female, overall length (= body length) 20.0− 24.8mm; pronotum length×width 3.9mm ×6.0mm − 4.6mm ×7.0mm; tegmen length 16.0−19.0mm.
Body blackish brown to black. Antennae with basal one-fifth blackish and apical four-fifths brownish; apical part of clypeus and basal part of labrum yellowish brown. Tegmina brownish in females but darker in male. Spines of legs yellowish brown. Apical part of cerci and whole styli yellowish brown.
Pronotum suboval, widest at nearly the middle, densely setose, with a pair of C-shape depressions opening towards each other (Figs. 15–16). Tegmina with dense setae and punctations, slightly exceeding the end of abdomen in male, whilst almost reaching that in females. Venation of hindwings almost the same as that of D. punctata.
Male (holotype). Subgenital plate relatively broad at sides. Sclerite L3’ with basal part broad and gradually narrowing to the curved part, resulting in smooth edges; the apex of hook forked.
Distribution. South China (south of Yunnan Province).
Etymology. Latin word elliptica means “elliptical, oval”, referring to the shape of pronotum.
Remarks. The tegmen of male is somewhat different from that of female, it is a bit harder and darker than the latter, and in the same color as pronotum, whilst the latter is lighter than pronotum, and resembles that of D. punctata.
These insects were found underneath the bark of dead wood.

Diploptera naevus

description: Diploptera naevus sp. n.
(Figs. 9, 25–26, 42–47)
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. D. naevus sp. n. can be easily distinguished by combining the protruding posterolateral angles of pronotum and the dorsal overall color pattern, which consists of an orangish background, a black mesonotal bump and a black disc of pronotum, whilst D. bicolor has a similar color pattern but differs in the pronotum without the posterolateral angles.
Description. Holotype, male, size small, body length (= overall length) 10.0mm; pronotum length×width 2.8mm × 4.5mm; tegmen length 7.1mm; wing length 11.6mm.
Body blackish brown. Antenna with basal one-third blackish and apical two-thirds brownish; apical part of clypeus and basal part of labrum yellowish brown. Pronotum with disc blackish, extremely narrow anterior border dark orange, wide lateral borders orangish, and with a dark orange dot at the middle of posterior margin (Fig. 9); mesonotal bump black. Tegmina orangish, but looking darker because of the color of abdomen. Spines of legs brownish yellow. Apical part of cerci and the whole styli yellowish brown.
Pronotum and tegmina setose. Pronotum subsemicircular, with posterior margin emarginate near posterolateral angles, anterior margin slightly uplifted and lateral borders subsided. Tegmina punctate and setose, extending exactly to the end of abdomen, but appearing to exceed it in the photo because the abdomen of the specimen is retracted. Venation of hindwings similar to that of D. punctata, but with AP1 and AP2 weak at tfd, not reaching the outer margin.
Subgenital plate relatively broad at sides. Styli large, exceeding the hind margin of subgenital plate when pointing rear. Sclerite L3’ with basal part broad and the curved part narrow, protrudent at the inner margin; the apex of hook normal.

Diploptera minor: Bruijning, 1948: 153, locality Java.
Diploptera parva Princis, 1953: 208, localities Java (holotype) & Sumatra (paratype).
Taxonomic notes. D. parva is closely similar to D. minor but smaller and a little darker than the latter. The punctations on tegmina are almost invisible but the dense yellow pubescence is more impressive than other species. The cercus of D. parva is bicolor with basal one segment darker than the other two, whilst that of D. minor is almost unicolor. Bruijning’s (1948) D. minor is from Java instead of Philippines and meets the diagnostic characters of D. parva, which has a smaller size (male overall length 8.5mm, cp. D. minor 11mm) and is densely pubescent on tegmina but hardly punctate; this record should be removed from D. minor and put in D. parva. However, giving the assumption that D. parva was not proposed so far, we could speculate that similar specimens might be determined as D. minor and a “ D. parva ” is not easy to come up. Particular attention should be paid when determining specimens with a small body and brownish coloration.

Diploptera maculata Hanitsch, 1925: 104, figs. 17, 18, locality Borneo; Bruijning, 1948: 152, locality Borneo.
Male unknown.
Taxonomic notes. Hanitsch (1925) has proposed an interesting likelihood that D. maculata is the female of D. bicolor based on the two holotypes being almost the same except for the gender and the markings on the pronotum; even their different markings share the same contour. A second specimen of D. maculata was recorded by Bruijning (1948) but “unluckily” was the same gender, female, as the holotype. Similarly, a second specimen of D. bicolor (see below for details) is a male. So the hypothesis that they are the same species has not yet been proven or refuted.
In addition, it is noteworthy that Hanitsch’s illustration was drawn by Mr. V. Knight instead of Hanitsch himself. This is probably why the image has something discrepant with the true insect, e.g., the size of head, the shape of pronotum, and the seam between tegmina. A similar situation occurs in D. bicolor.

Diploptera pulchra Anisyutkin, 2007: 173, figs. 1–9, locality Borneo. Syn. n.
Female unknown.
Taxonomic notes. That Princis (1950: 163) identified two females from Sumatra as D. bicolor, proves to be in error. One specimen (MZLU) was examined (Figs. 76–79), labeled “Sumatra, Deli, Tebing, Tinggi, 1939, coll. Kai Jung”. He emphasized too much on the character that “vertex with 3 faint black longitudinal lines”, which is of less value in taxonomy, but lost attention to the pronotum of D. bicolor, which with markings but without sharp posterolateral angles, whilst that of Princis’ specimen is unicolor and the posterolateral angles are sharp enough.
Anisyutkin (2007) recently described D. pulchra as a new species, but we find it to be a junior synonym of D. bicolor. Comparing the holotype of D. bicolor with the original descriptions of D. bicolor and D. pulchra, we found that these two species correspond completely except for a slight difference in individual sizes. Anisyutkin may not have examined the type specimen and was misled by Hanitsch’s (1925) illustration, which was drawn by Mr. V. Knight instead of Hanitsch himself, and on which the markings of the pronotum were not correctly represented. Nevertheless, Anisyutkin’s description and illustrations are important contributions to our knowledge about Diploptera.
As for Hanitsch’s (1925) dimorphism hypothesis, see our “Taxonomic notes” in the entry for D. maculata.

Pronotum shiny fuscous, polished; collar brown, shagreened, with silvery, reclining, short setae; scutellum shiny, flat. Pleura pale reddish brown; propleuron shiny fuscous as in pronotum; ostiolar peritreme somewhat yellowish, with an ear-like evaporative area medially. Hemelytron widely brown, matte, with two whitish, partly irregular fasciae as in Fig. 1 A & B); posterior apex of clavus narrowly white; membrane smoky brown, with triangularly whitened anterior half. All coxae and legs brown, partly tinged with red. Abdomen shiny fuscous. Genitalia as in Fig. 2; pygophore with a median spine ventrally (Fig. 3). Phallotheca with hooked apex and a subapical spine; right paramere long and straight; apex of left paramere hypophysis hooked; endosoma elongate, coiled, with secondary gonopore situated at middle. Female: Unknown.
Measurements (♂): Total body length 3.68; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 2.55; width of head across eyes 0.82; vertex width 0.17; lengths of antennal segments I −IV 0.25, 0.86, 0.48, 0.43; labial length 1.40; mesal length of pronotum including collar 0.77; basal width of pronotum 1.09; maximum width across hemelytron 1.13; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 1.09, 1.37, 0.34.
Etymology. From Latin, levigatus (= smooth, polished, or shiny), referring to the well-polished pronotum; an adjective.

Diploptera erythrocephala Princis, 1950: 163, locality Borneo.
Taxonomic notes. The proposition of D. erythrocephala was based merely on the difference from other species in coloration, which may be within intraspecific variation. Comparing the holotype of D. erythrocephala with specimens of D. minor, it is found that their morphology is almost the same aside from the degree of color darkness, i.e., D. erythrocephala is somewhat lighter than D. minor, so as to have a reddish brown head, to which the specific epithet refers. However, since color is relatively an unreliable diagnostic character and there is no other evidence to separate them as two independent species, the holotype of D. erythrocephala is likely to be an extremely light-colored D. minor.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE (MZLU) fixed by monotypy, male, “O. Borneo, Kariorang, IV.1937, coll. Mrs. M.-E. Walsh ”.

(Figs. 4 F −G, 7, 9)
Diagnosis. Recognized its small size; almost entirely fuscous body, with silvery, reclining setae on dorsum (Figs.
4F −G); dark, tumid antennal segment II; creamy yellow antennal segment III and IV, and pro- and mesotibiae. So far as known, no other congener has such widely fuscous color pattern, and, therefore, this new species is easily identifiable.
Description. Body almost wholly fuscous, ovoid, rather flat; dorsal surface weakly shining, with uniformly distributed, silvery, reclining setae that are easily rubbed off. Head rather pointed anteriorly. Antenna dark brown; segment II broadened; segments III and IV creamy yellow, filiform. Labium shiny reddish brown, reaching apex of mesocoxa. Pronotum somewhat polished; scutellum shallowly and transversely rugose. Hemelytron weakly shagreened or matte; membrane dark smoky brown. Leg fuscous; entire pro- and mesotibiae, and all tarsi yellowish brown. Abdomen wholly shiny fuscous. Male genitalia as in Fig. 9; endosoma with a long, slender appendage and broadly hooked apex.
Measurements (♂/♀): Total body length 1.9−2.0/ 2.3; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 1.37−1.43/ 1.64; width of head across eyes 0.53−0.56/ 0.56; width of vertex 0.27−0.29/ 0.30; lengths of antennal segments I-IV 0.12−0.13, 0.39−0.45, 0.20−0.23, 0.27−0.31/ 0.12, 0.37, 0.22, 0.26; labial length 0.95−1.00; mesal length of pronotum 0.31−0.36/ 0.34; basal width of pronotum 0.74−0.83/ 0.86; maximum width across hemelytron 0.88−0.96/ 1.10; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 0.69−0.72, 0.82−0.85, 0.24−0.26/ 0.74, 0.86, 0.26.
Remarks. This is the second species of Malaysiamiris occurring in Thailand, and is easily distinguished from the other one, M. rufobadius Yasunaga by the almost entirely fuscous body; the latter species has reddish maroon general coloration (see Yasunaga, 2010).
Etymology. From Latin, nigrescens (= blackened), referring to the general coloration of this new species.

Rubrocuneocoris anandros

description: Rubrocuneocoris anandros n. sp.
(Figs. 3, 7, 12)
Diagnosis. Distinguished from any other Thai phylines by its tiny size; pale orange brown basic coloration (Fig. 7); shiny dorsum; deep red antennal segment I; a partly interrupted rouge streak on pleura (Fig. 3); narrowly rouge spots along posterior margin of corium; rouge apex of cuneus; and sanguineous, reticular pattern on metafemur (Fig. 7). By a combination of these characters, this new species also can be separable from any other Asian congeners.
Description. Female: Body generally pale orange brown, oval, typical phyline shape; dorsal surface shining, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple setae. Head with some sanguineous spots. Antenna yellowish brown; segment I deep red; basal half of segment II with sanguineous, reticular markings. Labium shiny pale brown; segment I with sanguineous spots basally. Pleura shining, with a rouge, partly interrupted streak from propleuron to ventral half of ostiolar peritreme. Apex of corium with a few, sanguineous spots along cuneal fracture; apex of cuneus sanguineous. Leg pale brown, partly with reddish spots or marks; metafemur speckled with sanguineous spots posteriorly; protibia with a sanguineous stripe. Abdomen pale brown, partly speckled with reddish or whitish patterns. Genitalia as in Fig. 12; bursa copulatrix furnished with complicated membranous structure; sclerotized ring small. Male: Unknown.
Measurements. Total body length 2.35; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 1.54; width of head across eyes 0.63; vertex width 0.27; lengths of antennal segments I −IV 0.15, 0.64, 0.31, 0.25; labial length 0.96; mesal length of pronotum 0.38; basal width of pronotum 0.91; maximum width across hemelytron 1.19; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 0.80, 1.20, 0.29.
Etymology. From Greek, anandros (= single, alone, husbandless), referring to this new, rare species, currently represented only by a single female.
Remarks. Although this new species is currently known only by a single female, its identity and placement in Rubrocuneocoris are evidently warranted, on the basis of the distinctive color pattern and form of the female genitalia.
