Material examined
1 female, 17.8 mm, dissected and illustrated, Potiguar Basin, MT 83, initial trawl coordinates 4.4405°S, 36.4308°W, final trawl coordinates 4.4905°S, 36.4026°W, Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil, initial depth 1950 m, final depth 1880 m, 4 May 2011, R / V Seward Johnson col. (MOUFPE 20188). 1 female, same collection data (MOUFPE 20189).
Type locality
Porto Rico Deep, North Atlantic Ocean (4.4405°S, 36.4308°W and 4.4905°S, 36.4026°W).
Distribution and bathymetry
Puerto Rican Deep, North Atlantic Ocean, 567–732 m deep (Shoemaker 1934; Hughes and Lowry 2015). Slope of Rio Grande do Norte state (between 4.4405°S, 36.4308°W and 4.4905°S, 36.4026°W), Brazil, between 1880–1950 m deep (current study) (Figure 23).
Remarks
The species was described by Shoemaker (1934), based on material collected during the Johnson-Smithsonian Deep-Sea Expedition in the Puerto Rican Deep, North Atlantic, and was not recorded since then (Hughes and Lowry 2015). Therefore, this is the first record of the species from the South Atlantic, Brazil, expanding the species’ bathymetric range from 567–732 to 1880–1950 m deep.
The female collected in our study matches the original description based on the following characters: deep head (Figure 11a), with long narrow eye; pereonite 1 smooth, without a strong dorsal spine; gnathopod 1 (Figure 11c) palm acute, serrate, bearing long robust setae; gnathopod 2 (Figure 11d) palm acute, weakly excavate; pereopod 5 (Figure 11e) basis posterior margin with a long and dorsally serrate spur; pereopods 6–7 (Figure 11f–f) basis posterior margin serrate, posterodistal corner produced into an acute lobe; telson (Figure 11i) narrow, distinctly longer than uropod 3 (Figure 11h), apex acute. In addition, we provide an illustration of the maxilla 1 (Figure 11b), which was not described clearly in the original description, showing characters such as: inner plate setose, with an apical robust seta; outer plate setal teeth produced as a distal corona in a modified arrangement (STA and STB 3-cuspidate, STC 5-cuspidate, STD 4-cuspidate, ST1 2-cuspidate, ST2 1-cuspidate, ST3 2-cuspidate, ST4 3-cuspidate, ST5 5-cuspidate, ST6 6-cuspidate, and ST7 9-cuspidate).

description: As the global population continues to age, with projections indicating that individuals over 60 will comprise 17% of the world’s population by 2030, it is crucial to address the disparity between current road lighting guidelines, based on data from healthy young adults, and the needs of elderly drivers. This study examines the impact of age and glare on contrast thresholds for individuals above 60 years old in the context of road lighting and its effect on detecting road marking arrows. Results indicate a large negative effect of age and glare, such that the required luminance difference between the road marking arrow and the background should be increased up to a factor of 2 for elderly compared to young drivers. We also found that measured luminance difference thresholds increased for elderly participants compared to the younger ones. In addition, the results show a poor agreement with Adrian’s visibility model which can only be slightly improved by using a different measure for the veiling luminance. Still, given these findings, the current European standard EN13201 should adapt the calculation of the threshold increment to also accommodate the needs for the elderly drivers and warranting safe roadways for the aging population.

description: Timia Wiedemann 1824
Type species: Timia erythrocephala Pallas in Wiedemann, 1824 (by monotypy).
Diagnosis. Timia species are yellow or black flies. Frons usually with dents and bumps, shining or subshining, sometimes with white microtrichose areas. Antennal grooves deep, oval, well-separated by wide facial carina. Thorax and abdomen shining or shagreened, sometimes almost matt, sometimes with green metallic shine, often with microtrichose areas. Wings hyaline, some species with dark cells bc, c, sc and apical spot on wing. Male genitalia: epandrium with deep notch at apex; phallus long, coiled and partially flattened tube divided into two halves; pair of sclerotized taeniae ending approximately at its mid-length; another pair of taeniae beginning at phallus middle almost reaching phallus apex; phallus apical half bearing long membranous caecum-like membranous appendix. Distiphallus apex bowed and bearing numerous sclerotized cuticular spurs, and “glans” formed by hooks or lobes surrounding gonopore. Surstylus hook-like, sometimes with expressed postero-dorsal lobe. Cerci clearly bilobed. Female terminalia: aculeus moderately long and wide, with oval cercal unit; three spherical spermathecae with smooth or micropapillose surface.
Remarks. Adults of Timia species, as well as many other ulidiid, feed mainly on various organic residues (decaying plant tissue, animal corpses, excrements). In arid habitats the surface of organic residues is quickly covered with dried crust, under which semi-liquid substrate remains for a relatively long time. The proboscis of Timia has longitudinal rows of pointed outgrowths located on the labellum; flies make a hole in such a crust by these appendages and then penetrate with long tubular appendage of the proboscis in it, then absorbing semi-liquid food (Zaitzev, 1982).
Sometimes it is difficult to separate Timia from Ulidia Meigen, 1826. The differences used so far are mainly as follow: the frons smooth (in Timia) or dimpled (in Ulidia) (with some exceptions), head and thorax microtrichose (in Timia) or bare (in Ulidia, but some assigned to Timia have shiny head and thorax, and Ulidia metope Kameneva, 2010 has frons widely microtrichose) (Chen & Kameneva, 2009). The genus Ulidia contains no yellow representatives.

description: 3.1.1 Cicadidae
Les Cicadidae (fig. 1 à 7 et 43 à 59), multigénériques et multispécifiques (plus de 4000 formes), à tête large le plus souvent et avec l ’espace oeil-ocelle nettement supérieur au diamètre des ocelles, ont un pronotum (partie dorsale du premier segment thoracique) court, ne masquant pas le mésonotum (partie dorsale du deuxième segment thoracique), son aire externe (parfois appelée "collerette”, à tort) valant rarement plus du quart de celle de son aire interne. Aux homély t res, la cellule et la membrane costales sont: ou bien inexistantes ou bien présentes ensembles. Les mâles possè ­ dent un appareil musical original, sans équiva ­ lent, voué au rapprochement des sexes et sur lequel nous aurons à revenir (cf. page 15). Famille de répartition quasi mondiale, hormis les larges calottes froides du Globe.
Les Cicadidés ont une vie imaginale (ou adulte) aérienne très brève (un mois, au plus), bruyante (pour la plupart), qui s'oppose à une extraordinaire vie larvaire souterraine fort longue - mais en cela très variable4 -, silencieuse et besogneuse, les larves ayant à s’ouvrir de difficiles chemins sous terre pour trouver leur nourriture, la sève des racines. Larves et adultes quelque peu se ressemblent, mais évoluant dans des milieux différents et les premières disposant d’organes accessoires qui leur sont propres (pattes fouisseuses, pattes-béquilles, soies-fiches clypéales, soies dorsales spaciosensorielles), les Cigales sont des Insectes hémimétaboles, subissant une métamorphose pour devenir adultes, laquelle annihile les attributs larvaires et développe les caractères imaginaux. Entre les deux écophases dominantes de leur cycle, imaginale et larvaire donc, elles accomplissent leur phase embryonnaire en endophytes: au coeur de tiges, de branchettes ou dans l'écorce des arbres, enfin là où les Cigales femelles auront inséré leurs oeufs.

(1) On tergalii beginning from the pair III (either pairs III–V, or pairs III–IV, or pair III only), dorsal lobe is deeply cleft (Figs 1, 51–53, 55–56) (unique autapomorphy). Other, non-unique features of tergalii structure are: tergalius I is absent; tergalius II is operculate, i.e. with dorsal lobe convex, larger than others and never cleft; tergalii II and next ones (either II–V, or II–IV, or II–III) retain the two-branched ventral lobe bearing processes on both its branches (that is initial for Ephemerelloidea) (Figs 1, 50–57).
(2) Larval, subimaginal and imaginal paracercus is vestigial, 1-segmented. The same in some other mayflies; among Ephemerella/fg1, the same in Dicercomyzon Demoulin 1954 only.
(3) In subimago, paired lateral pigmented area of mesonotum (termed here latero-posterior scutal chromozone) occupies the whole sublateroscutum, the whole submedioscutum and a latero-posterior part of medioscutum, leaving a non-pigmented median area (termed here achromozone) in a form of unpaired median stripe narrowing posteriorly; the latero-posterior scutal chromozone is separated from the achromozone by a distinct, evenly arched line termed here latero-posterior chromozonal suture (Figs 27–28). The area anteriad of the achromozone is termed here anterior scutal chromozone. Color of the anterior scutal chromozone, the lateroposterior scutal chromozones and the achromozone vary among species, but shape of their borders is constant for Teloganodes. Microtrichia cover most part of scutum, being absent on lateroscutum and posterior scutal protuberances (Fig. 99). In contrast to Ephemerellidae and the most primitive representatives of Pantricorythi, the lateroparapsidal sutures of subimago and imago of Teloganodes are not curved laterally, but converge with the medioparapsidal sutures (Kluge 2004: p. 294, character 10 of Ephemerella/fg1) (Fig. 28).

description: 3.1.2 Tettigarctidae
Les Tettigarctidae (fig. 8), monogénériques et seulement bi-spécifiques, se reconnaissent d’emblée à leur vaste pronotum hypertrophié en un bouclier masquant le mésonotum. En outre, elles ont une tête très étroite aux yeux et ocelles globuleux (Cigales à tête de Papillon) avec un espace oeil-ocelle inférieur au diamètre des ocelles. Aux homélytres, la cellule costale est longue et large, mais la membrane costale est quasi inexistante. Les mâles ne possèdent que des éléments peu marqués d'un appareil acoustique non fonctionnel. Famille confinée au Sud-Est australien et à la Tasmanie.
Si la biologie des Tettigarctidés est, dans ses grandes lignes, conforme à celles des Cicadidés, elle reste encore mal connue dans ses détails. D'après John W. Evans (1941) et Max S. Moulds (1990), ce sont des Rhynchotes de moyenne altitude (200/ 1800m) plus ou moins grégaires à l'état imaginai, aux moeurs crépusculaires, voire même nocturnes et en tout cas très discrètes (non bruyantes). Cette éthologie, et certaines spécialisations corporelles ou acquisitions fonctionnelles (présence, à l’ex ­ trémité des pattes, d'un empodium tarsal porteur d’organites sensoriels possibles dérecteurs de vibrations (MOULDS, op. cit„ CLARIDGE. MORGAN & MOULDS 1999), inclinent à penser que cette famille recèle des espèces qui, à l'état imaginai, ont opté plus particulière ­ ment pour une vie dans l’obscurité, perdant l’usage de la cymbalisation, communication sonore aérienne à distance et recours typiquement cicadéen s’agissant de la pérennité des espèces. Dans cette hypothèse, l’appareil acoustique des Tettigactidae serait vestigial et non rudimentaire.

Type species. Ampliphallus chimalapaensis sp. nov., designated in the present work.
Etymology. From the Latin amplus, wide and phallus, penis, in reference to the pars distalis, noticeably wider than in all other stygnopsine harvestmen. Grammatical gender is masculine.
Diagnosis. Ampliphallus gen. nov. can be recognized from the non-troglobitic stygnopsine genera in which the mid-bulge of the scutum lacks lateral clear areas (Guelaguetzia gen. nov., Hoplobunus and Isaeus) by the following combination of characters: (a) ocularium apically rounded without spine (Fig. 3)—spine present and small in Hoplobunus, large in Isaeus and absent in Guelaguetzia gen. nov.; (b) mesotergal area III without paramedian spines (Figs. 1–4)—a small pair in Isaeus, absent in Hoplobunus and Guelaguetzia gen. nov. too; (c) anal plate with long and cylindrical setiferous tubercles in both sexes (Figs. 1, 2 and 6); (d) pedipalpal patella without dorso-apical apophysis, covered by small spiniform tubercles (Fig. 9)—apophysis present in both Hoplobunus and Isaeus and absent in Guelaguetzia gen. nov.; (e) both ventral rows of tubercles on femur IV formed by tubercles similar in size, small and tooth-shaped (Figs. 13–15)—small and spiniform in Isaeus, cylindrical, contiguous and increasing in size distally in Hoplobunus and in Guelaguetzia gen. nov. the retrolateral row with very long tubercles; and (f) by the male genitalia, with the pars distalis as wide as long, soft and dorsally bent, with a basal articulation in truncus-pars distalis, with two pairs of macrosetae B on the truncus, just below of pars distalis (Figs. 16–18). Also, the shape of pars distalis of penis and the macrosetal arrangement are very distinct from other known stygnopsine genera.
Geographical distribution. This genus is only known from the type locality and paratypes records of A. chimalapaensis sp. nov. (Fig. 57).
Natural history. The specimens of A. chimalapaensis sp. nov. were found under the bark of decomposed trees. Those specimens collected in the cave were found under rocks near the cave entrance.

description: Remarks on Otiorhynchus azaleae sensu auctorum
Based on the key by Reitter (1913) and subsequently the one by Frieser (1981) to the taxa of Nihus, both O. azaleae and O. gredleri were mostly misinterpreted. One important detail, the shape of the eyes which is initially characterized by Daniel & Daniel (1898) in their description as "…stark gewÖlbte Augen", followed by Reitter (1913) as "…selten sehr schwach vortretend v. Gredleri Dan." and finally termed by Frieser (1981) as "… Augen wie bei azaleae …" (Whereas nothing is stated concerning the eyes in the case of azaleae …). This may have led to the repeated quotation of O. azaleae for Switzerland, initiated by the first record by Linder (1968) and followed by all subsequent authors (Germann & Lüscher 2007, Germann 2010a, 2012, 2014b, Magnano & Alonso-Zarazaga 2013). The present investigations, with a new key to this subgenus replacing those proposed by Reitter (1913) and Frieser (1981), showed that all Swiss specimens belong to O. gredleri, presently known from Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige) and Austria (Nordtirol). Contrary to Magnano & Alonso-Zarazaga (2013) no reliable records from Germany are presently known (P. Sprick, pers. comm.), although records from Austria (Ausserfern) are very close to Bavaria.

description: Otiorhynchus (Eunihus) levasseuri RoUDIER, 1961.
It was Roudier (1961) himself who already mentioned that his new species belongs to Nihus – by some authors regarded as synonym to Eunihus in the past. The type locality of O. levasseuri, Glacier du Canigou, is situated about 60 km E of the before mentioned locality.
