Myrmecocystus mexicanus, Wesm. Bull. Acad. Brux. (1838)
p. 770. pl. fig. [[worker]].
Hab. Mexico.
Only workers of this singular species of Ant are described; they are of two very distinct forms; the plate which illustrates the paper exhibits the small worker of the ordinary form, but the larger worker is represented with its abdomen swollen into an immense globular receptacle; this is effected by the distension of the membrane which connects the segments. The account for- warded to M. Wesmael by M. de Normann, the discoverer of the species, is, that the latter individuals are inactive, do not quit the nest, and that their sole occupation is to elaborate a kind of honey, which they discharge into receptacles.

Chandleromyia

description: Chandleromyia, new genus
DIAGNOSIS: (male only). Eyes extensively holoptic; gena bare, occiput with very fine, scattered short setae; clypeus a broad triangle; palp minute; arista bare; acrostichals entirely absent, only 1 pair of (short, prescutellar) dorsocentrals; 1 short pair of scutellars; 4–5 notopleurals. Wing entirely covered with dense microtrichia; M not forked (M 2 lost), dm-cu close to wing margin; CuP slightly curved. Tibiae and tarsi with bifid scales. Metatarsomeres 1–4 flattened, expanded; tarsomere 2 shortest, with blunt spine; tarsomere 3 with clavate seta. Abdomen short, broad; male tergite 7 narrow, tubular.
TYPE SPECIES: C. anomala, n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY: For Peter J. Chandler, in recognition of his work on global Platypezidae, and on Diptera in general. The genus name is feminine.
COMMENTS: This genus is extremely similar phenetically, and apparently close phylogenetically, to Lindneromyia neomedialis, n. sp., in Dominican amber, described below. This is based on the squared oral margin, minute palps; face, gena, arista bare; complete lack of acrostichals, one (short, prescutellar) pair of dorsocentral setae; one short pair of scutellars; no supraalars, one short postalar; loss of vein M 2; r-m crossvein near level of cell Sc apex; and thick, stiff, spinelike setae on posterior margin of tergite 6 lacking. Chandleromyia differs from L. neomedialis based on the setose occiput (completely bare in Lindneromyia); 4–5 notopleurals (vs. 2); wing membrane entirely with dense microtrichia (vs. partially covered with minute, faint ones); cell dm long, with dm-cu close to wing margin (vs. cell short, vein near middle of wing); vein M 1 deflexed (vs. almost straight); vein CuP curved (vs. straight); spine and clavate seta on metarsomeres 2 and 3, respectively (vs. without); male tergite 7 narrow, tubular (vs. short, much broader than long, inserted into emargination of tergite 6).
Though separated by approximately 80 million years, the two flies appear closely related. There is no question about the provenance of the two specimens; AMNH DR14-35 was acquired in the 1990s in the Dominican Republic by me; AMNH Bu-KL30-27 was acquired from Myanmar. With a derived platypezine in the mid-Cretaceous, this greatly extends the age of crown-group Platypezidae (fig. 27).

description:   Η παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία εξετάζει τις αστικές αναπλάσεις του παράκτιου μετώπου της Βαρκελώνης, με ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στις αλλαγές που σημειώθηκαν πριν, κατά τη διάρκεια και μετά τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 1992. Η διοργάνωση των Αγώνων αποτέλεσε καταλύτη για μια ευρείας κλίμακας αναδιαμόρφωση της πόλης, μεταμορφώνοντας ριζικά την υποβαθμισμένη ακτογραμμή της σε ένα σύγχρονο αστικό χώρο υψηλής ποιότητας και λειτουργικότητας. Προ της ολυμπιακής περιόδου, η περιοχή χαρακτηριζόταν από βιομηχανική παρακμή και περιορισμένη πρόσβαση στο παράκτιο μέτωπο. Κατά τη διάρκεια των προετοιμασιών για τους Αγώνες, τέθηκαν σε εφαρμογή μεγάλης κλίμακας σχέδια αστικής ανάπλασης, τα οποία περιλάμβαναν την ανάπλαση του παράκτιου χώρου, την ανάπτυξη υποδομών και την ενίσχυση της προσβασιμότητας. Μετά τους Αγώνες, η Βαρκελώνη συνέχισε να επενδύει στον τουρισμό και την ανάπτυξη, διατηρώντας το παράκτιο μέτωπο ως βασικό στοιχείο της νέας ταυτότητας της πόλης.
  Η εργασία αυτή κάνει μία σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή στην πολεοδομική εξέλιξη της Βαρκελώνης από το Μεσαίωνα έως και σήμερα και αναλύει τις αστικές αναπλάσεις που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στα πλαίσια των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων του 1992, αλλά και άλλων μεγάλων γεγονότων που αποτέλεσαν καταλύτες στη σημερινή εικόνα της Βαρκελώνης.

description: This research paper examines the urban redevelopment of Barcelona’s coastal zone with a particular focus on the changes that took place before, during, and after the 1992 Olympic Games. The hosting of the Games served as a catalyst for large-scale citywide transformation, radically converting the previously degraded coastline into a modern urban space of high quality and functionality. Prior to the Olympic period, the area was characterized by industrial decline and limited access to the waterfront. During the preparations for the Games, extensive urban redevelopment plans were implemented, which included the renewal of the coastal area, the development of new infrastructure, and the enhancement of accessibility. Following the Games, Barcelona continued to invest in tourism and development, maintaining the coastal front as a key component of the city's new identity.
  This paper includes a brief historical overview of Barcelona’s urban development from the Middle Ages to the present day and analyzes the urban redevelopments undertaken for the 1992 Olympic Games, as well as other major events that acted as catalysts in shaping Barcelona's current image.

description: Counterspeech is a targeted response to counteract and challenge abusive or hateful content. It effectively curbs the spread of hatred and fosters constructive online communication. Previous studies have proposed different strategies for automatically generated counterspeech. Evaluations, however, focus on relevance, surface form, and other shallow linguistic characteristics. This paper investigates the human likeness of AI-generated counterspeech, a critical factor influencing effectiveness. We implement and evaluate several LLM-based generation strategies, and discover that AI-generated and human-written counterspeech can be easily distinguished by both simple classifiers and humans. Further, we reveal differences in linguistic characteristics, politeness, and specificity. The dataset used in this study is publicly available for further research.

Uredothrips tibialis Okajima, 1975: 16–19.
E. tibialis was originally described from the Ryukyus, Southern Japan, and has a rather wide distribution range in the tropical and subtropical areas of eastern Asia, such as Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo (Sabah), Thailand, Taiwan and Japan. Subsequently, a synonymous species, E. chui, was described from Taiwan under the synonymous genus Scotothrips by Chen (1982). This species shows somewhat confused variation due to geographical variation as well as allometric growth, and there are some differences between local populations in the colour of antennae and legs, number and form (stout or slender) of cheek setae, and in the relative length of tube. The large male has a median raised flange-like oblong protrusion on the metanotum (Fig. 181), which varies in shape and size not only by local population but also by body size. E. tibialis is very similar to E. tirumalaiensis from India, but it can be distinguished easily by having an apical tubercle on inner margin of fore tibia (Fig. 179). The female is always macropterous (Fig. 240), whereas the male is usually micropterous (Fig. 241), rarely macropterous (Fig. 242).

(Figs 182–185, 243)
Scotothrips virgulae Chen, 1980: 180–181.
E. virgulae was originally described from Taiwan based on extremely crushed specimens in the water-soluble mountant. Mound and Palmer (1983) compared a paratype of virgulae with specimens from the Ryukyus, Japan, and confirmed them as the same species. Subsequently, a full description of it was given by Okajima (2006) based on the specimens from Japan, and the diagnostic description was also given by Wang et al. (2019). The colour of antennal segment III and the length of tube of this species are variable: antennal segment III mostly brown, scarcely paler than segment IV, with extreme base yellowish, often brownish yellow, distinctly paler than segment IV; tube shorter or scarcely longer than head in female, 0.81–0.92 times as long as head in male. The tube is almost straight-sided with distal 1/4 weakly constricted (Fig. 184), while Wang et al. described tube as ‘curved-sided’ and this is probably due to observing crushed specimens. E. virgulae can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of character states: head 1.32–1.44 times as long as broad (Fig. 182); postocular setae situated behind inner margins of eyes; postocellar setae minute; antennal segment III about 3.0 times as long as broad (Fig. 183), or a little longer; pelta trilobed (Fig. 185), with distinct lateral wings; tube straight-sided, with apical 1/4 weakly constricted.
Specimens-examined. Taiwan, Nantou Hsien, Nanshanchi, on dead leaves, 1 female, 1.vi.1972, 1 female, 29.iii.1984, SO; Rushan, on dead leaves and branches, 2.v.1983, M. Hasegawa, 2 females, on dead leaves and branches, 1.ix.1994, TN & SO. Japan, many females and males, see Okajima (2006).

Mirab-Balou et al. (2011) recognised the distribution of E. vitreipennis as China (Hainan and Fujian) and India, although it was originally described from Congo based on two macropterous females. Subsequently, Faure (1955) recorded this species from South Africa with supplemental description and measurements of both sexes. In the key to Ethirothrips species from China, Dang et al. (2013) referred this species as “body bicoloured, largely yellow except brown tube”, but it is undoubtedly uniformly dark brown species according to the original description. It is very strange that they probably examined this species, because the head and prothorax with left fore leg are clearly drawn (see Fig. 9 in Dang et al., 2013), and the specific name in the key, vitreipennis, is not indicated by an asterisk (this asterisk indicate that the information of the species is from the original description, not from the specimen), therefore this identification remains questionable. Unfortunately, any specimens of vitreipennis have not been available for this study.

Ironomyia White, 1916: 216. Type species I. nigromaculata White, 1916; J.F. McAlpine, 1967 (as family); D.K. McAlpine, 2008 (revision of Ironomyia species).
DIAGNOSIS: (based on McAlpine and Martin, 1966; J.F. McAlpine, 1967; D.K. McAlpine, 2008, with modifications): Relatively stout flies with dark, bold velvety markings that contrast with pruinescent silvery and gray areas; patterns sexually dimorphic. Head: Antennal pedicel with fingerlike lobe inserted into deep, notchlike emargination of flagellomere 1 (flagellomere 1 strongly reniform, with two “sacculi” [McAlpine, 2008], i.e., sensory pits). Proboscis relatively long and slender, labellum small. Thorax: Dorsocentral setae small, reduced in number; acrostichals in two rows. Wing: R 2+3 and R 4+5 close, parallel, slightly sinuous; cell d apically acute, with strongly oblique dm-cu; cell cup relatively short; anal lobe well developed. Abdomen and Terminalia: Tergites 1 and 2 partially fused (separated via sulcus only, no intersegmental membrane [D.K. McAlpine, 2008]); sternites well developed. Male terminalia circumverted 360°, symmetrical, ventroflexed; surstyli well developed, not fused to epandrium; postgonites absent (as in Phoridae), sternite 8 fused to epandrium, phallapodeme articulated (Sinclair et al., 2013). Female terminalia telescoping, with long membranous section posterior to segment 7; three spermathecae.
TYPE SPECIES: I. nigromaculata White.
COMMENTS: There are three species of Ironomyia, all Recent, the other two species besides the type being I. francisi D.K. McAlpine and I. whitei D.K. McAlpine. The genus is distributed in eastern Australia from Queensland to Tasmania (McAlpine, 2008). According to McAlpine (2008) these flies are uncommon, usually found on tree trunks, sometimes attracted to lights. Their life histories are unknown.

This species was originally described based on the holotype micropterous female and a paratype macropterous male from Green Island (Taidung), Taiwan. Unfortunately, both of these specimens seem to be more or less crushed by the coverslip. Through the courtesy of Dr. Chin-Ling Wang, we examined some images of the paratype male (Figs 186–189). It is possibly related to E. thai in having the postocellar setae situated between the posterior ocelli, but it can be distinguished easily by the key above.

description: Fernothrips gen. n.
Large sized species of Macrothripina. Head elongate; cheeks with short spine-like setae, each probably with an ommatidium-like structure just behind eyes (this structure is hard to see because it is overlapping with compound eyes). A pair of postocular setae well developed; ocellar setae minute. Antennae 8-segmented; segments III and IV subequal in length; segment III with two, segment IV with four short and curved sense-cones (there is a possibility that each of these segments with an additional small sense-cone, see remarks of the type-species description). Mouth cone short and rounded; maxillary stylets V-shaped, retracted to the middle of cheeks. Pronotum stout, a little broader than long, notopleural sutures complete. Ferna largely developed, longer than broad; basantra present. Fore legs stout; fore femora exceptionally enlarged, inner surface widely densely scattered with numerous small tubercles; fore tibiae each with an inner apical tubercle or tooth; fore tarsal tooth well developed, elongate. Metanotal median setae short. Pelta broadly triangular, similar to Machatothrips, but rounded laterally. Tube somewhat heavy, longer than head.
Type-species. Fernothrips femoralis sp. n.
Remarks. This genus may be related to the genera Ethirothrips and Ischyrothrips, but the largely developed prosternal ferna are unusual in the subtribe Macrothripina. Machatothrips has somewhat similar fore femoral armature, but has the peculiar elongate anteocellar pair of setae, moderately developed broader prosternal ferna, and no fore tibial apical tooth.

Palaeopetia Zhang, 1987: 595.
Sinolesta Hong and Wang, 1988 (synonymy by Mostovski, 1995). Type species S. lata (Hong and Wang).
DIAGNOSIS: Vein Sc fused to R 1 for most of their lengths; pterostigma (between apices of Sc and R 1) well sclerotized; M 1 -M 2 forked, with short stem connected to apex of cell d; crossvein dm-cu perpendicular to longitudinal veins (not oblique). As seen in at least the two species in Burmese amber: pedicel without fingerlike lobe; flagellomere 1 with distinctive seam on lateral and mesal surfaces; wing membrane largely glassy, with microtrichia only at trailing margin of wing; acrostichals numerous, scattered, as in Cretonomyia (not in 2 rows as in Ironomyia); scutellar setae larger than in Ironomyia; thorax with 4 notopleural, 1 large pair dorsocentral, 1–2 large postalar setae; midleg with large stiff setae, 1 on femur, 3–5 on tibia.
TYPE SPECIES: P. laiyangensis Zhang, 1987. Early Cretaceous, China (compression).
COMMENTS: There are nine species of Palaeopetia described thus far, all of them compressions from the Cretaceous. Besides the type species the others are the following: P.lata (Hong and Wang) (Early Cretaceous, China); P. tertia Mostovski, P. volacris Most., P. longisaetigera Most., P.mina Most., P. commemorabilis Most., P. armata Most., P. bellula Most., P. asaetigera Most. (Cretaceous of Eurasia and Siberia). These species were diagnosed largely on the basis of subtle differences in wing vein proportions (Mostovski, 1995b), nonetheless suggestive of significant past diversity of ironomyiids. I have examined some of the specimens described by Mostovski (1995b), including all of the types.
The amber species reveal the plesiomorphic nature of the genus, which appears to be a sister group to all other fossil and living ironomyiids based on the antennal structure and retention of some microtrichia on the wing membrane (fig. 37). Even though Palaeopetia dorsalis, n. sp., and P. terminus, n. sp., are known only from opposite sexes, it is very doubtful that the species differences are sexually dimorphic, given especially the positions of the arista, setation of the thorax, and microtrichial patterns on the wing.
