description: Mylabris (Mylabris) apicenigra Sumakov, 1915
Figs. 1 D, 7A–G
Mylabris quadripunctata apicenigra Sumakov, 1915: 24; 1930: 38; Mader, 1927: 858; Reichardt, 1934: 215, 230. Mylabris (Mylabris) apicenigra, Kuzin, 1954: 354; Bologna, 2008: 397.
Type locality. “Perse, Turkestan (?), Asie Min.” (Sumakov, 1915).
Type specimens. Not examined but probably preserved at ZIN. Sumakov (1915: 24, note 39) cited 6 specimens of this species received by Bodemeyer under the name of M. apicenigra Escherich, which actually is a nomen in litteris, and consequently that of Sumakov is the first description.
Description. Body length: 12–16 mm; setae uniformly black, but mixed golden and black on legs; frontal red spot posteriorly bilobed; antennomeres uniformly black, III ca. 1.5 times as long as IV, XI slightly more than twice as long as wide (Fig. 7 A); pronotum without evident fore transverse depression; elytra yellow only with one black apical fascia, variable in width (very narrow to wide) (Fig. 7 B); pronotal punctures middle in size, well distinct posteriorly and almost confluent in fore third; mesosternum as in Fig. 7 C; male gonoforceps very slender in lateral view (Fig. 7 E), and fused ventrally in basal third (Fig. 7 D); aedeagal (Fig. 7 F) distal hook closed to apex, the proximal one positioned relatively far from apex, and bigger than the distal one; endophallic hook evidently curved.
Distribution. Iran, Syria, Turkey.
Taxonomic remarks. This species was sometimes confused with Mylabris (Micrabris) inculta (Escherich, 1899), which has gray or golden body setation, while M. apicenigra has only black setae. It could be confused also with M. (Mylabris) concolor Marseul, 1870, from which is easily distinct by the characters indicated in the key (see above).
Distribution. S and E Turkey, N Syria, Iran, S Turkmenistan.

Remarks. There is a specimen of Mimas tiliae in SMCR labelled “ Pakistan, Great Karakorum Mts., W of Chikar, 4000–4500 m, VIII. 2009, leg. V. Gurko”. This is almost 2000 km from the nearest previously known locality in the Aktubinsk region of northwest Kazakhstan, and over 2000 km from the next closest localities in northern Iran and Krasnoyarsk Kray, Russia. Although the possibility of a relict montane population of M. tiliae in the Karakorum Mountains cannot be excluded, we consider the presence of this species in Pakistan unconfirmed until further specimens are forthcoming.

Mylabris (Mylabris) batnensis, Pardo Alcaide, 1954b: 74; Bologna, 2008: 397.
Type locality. “ Algérie, Batna” (Marseul, 1870). This locality is in northern Algeria, on the southern border of the Algerian Atlas, in a transizional zone between steppe and mountain Mediterranean habitats and desert.
Type specimens. One type, which must be considered the holotype, was briefly examined at the MNHN (Marseul’s collection).
Description. Body length: 7.5–12 mm; setae long, and yellow with only few mixed black setae, particulalry on elytra; antennae usually black, but antennomeres III–VII reddish in few specimens, III almost twice as long as IV, apical four antennomeres evidently and progressively widened, XI slightly longer than wide (Fig. 9 A); pronotum without fore transverse depression; elytral black pattern very distinctive (Fig. 9 B): one black spot around the scutellum, one external fore longitudinal spot longer and wider than inner one, one zig-zag middle fascia, two subequal rounded spots obliquely positioned, and usually a very narrow apical fascia along the inner margin, rarely absent; “scutum” of mesosternum yellow-brown, setae short and sparse (Fig. 9 C); male gonoforceps slender in lateral view (Fig. 9 E), and fused ventrally in the basal third (Fig. 9 D); both aedeagal dorsal hooks small, the distal one far from apex (Fig. 9 F).
Taxonomic remarks. As previously evidenced, this species is extremely distinct from all other species of the nominate subgenus, because of the body setation colour, the elytral pattern, the mesosternum colouration and the aedeagal distal hook, positioned far from apex. The present position of M. batnensis in the nominate subgenus is uncertain and we are waiting for molecular evidences to define better its phylogenetic relationships.
Distribution. S Morocco, S Algeria.

The world species have been catalogued by Deans (2005) and a key to world genera is provided by Deans & Huben (2003). Pagliano (1986) keyed the Palaearctic genera, but no modern treatment of the Palaearctic species exists. In identifying species we referred to the outdated key to the Palaearctic species in Kieffer (1912), but adapted to take into account our current knowledge based on, for example, Deans (2005). Currently, about 21 extant genera of Evaniidae are known, but estimates of species numbers vary from around 430–440 (Deans 2005) to 580 (Mullins et al. 2012; Žikić et al. 2016). Host records are summarized in LeBeck (1991) and Deans (2005). In Evaniidae the small abdomen has a distinct petiolus, but the remaining segments are strongly compressed. They are parasitoids of cockroaches (Blattodea).

Remarks. Fletcher (1920: 98) reported that “Major F. C. Fraser informs me that this species is common in every vineyard in Sind, the larva feeding on the leaves of grape-vine, of which it is a decided pest. It has, however, never been reported as a pest.” Elsewhere, however, the only verified larval host of T. pallicosta is Aporosa (Phyllanthaceae). Consequently, we consider Fletcher’s record to be erroneous. However, T. pallicosta is known from the Western Ghats and Uttaranchal in India, and so its presence in Pakistan is possible.

description: In light of the need for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fuels, waste-based diesel-like fuels have emerged as a promising solution. This study explores the chemical, physical, and rheological properties of a diesel-like fuel (DLF) produced via chemical recycling of waste motor oil (WMO) using an alkali-treated rice husk biochar as a catalyst. DLF from biochar-assisted cracking (DLFB) resembles commercial diesel hydrocarbon distribution better than DLF from thermal cracking, which shows to many molecules in the gasoline range. DLFB meets the minimum requirements for commercial diesel as per ASTM standards. The study also presents the rheological properties of the DLFB and its blends with commercial diesel, assessing their flow behavior under various operating conditions. The results indicate that all samples exhibit Newtonian behavior. The shear stress rises with the shear rate in a linear manner. Moreover, rheograms indicate that viscosity gradually decreasing with temperature. The obtained DLFB resembles commercial diesel in chemical composition when analyzed via through FTIR and GC-MS analysis, though with a small presence of low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. In summary, these results demonstrate the potential of this novel DLFB as a sustainable fuel, given its favorable properties and the circular approach applied to the valorization of WMO.

description: Technology offers new opportunities in healthcare to manage chronic conditions cost-effectively. In the adoption of mHealth services, one of the main barriers is usability, especially for users having limitations or special needs, such as the elderly. Unlike mHealth apps specifically designed for the elderly to monitor and manage chronic conditions such as cardio-vascular health, diabetes, and hypertension, there is a lack of research in pain management, including usability evaluation. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive usability evaluation tool. This research focuses on the formulation and assessment of the usability evaluation instrument for the mHealth apps, targeting elderly users. An instrument comprising 8 usability constructs and 58 distinct items was formulated. The content of the instrument was verified by five experts. Face validity was performed with 16 elderly pain sufferers on pre-selected pain apps, it also aids in validating the reliability of the instrument. The research also discusses the mapping of the instrument’s items with the usability measures and elderly barriers influencing technology, with graphical visualization and scores of various artefacts. The graphical details would be helpful in identifying the areas for usability improvement from the elderly’s perspective and the scores would be helpful in comparing usability of different applications.

description: Although developing successful autonomous vehicles for practical use is of interest, the establishment of moral autonomous vehicles aligned with human values is also crucial. Prior studies have mainly examined moral decision making in the trolley dilemma of autonomous vehicles, i.e., the driverless dilemma. Relatively little is known, however, about the passenger acceptance (specifically like, use, trust, and communication) of autonomous vehicles in the driverless dilemma. Results of a correlational study (Study 1) and an experimental study (Study 2) found that participants as the passengers were more likely to like, use, trust, and communicate with autonomous vehicles programmed to protect self than protect others and be random in a one-passenger-one-pedestrian scenario representing the one-to-one dilemma. However, in most conditions participants showed no preference for either pro-self, pro-social, or random algorithms in the one-passenger-several-pedestrian scenarios implying the utilitarian dilemma (Studies 1 and 2). The variation of passenger did not affect acceptance of autonomous vehicles in the driverless dilemma (Study 2).

description: Interface icons are often scaled to adapt to different displays in cross-device collaborations. However, adaptive scaling of icons may cause perceptual bias in how icon arrays are visually perceived, which reduces usability and coherent user experience. This article presents an empirical study that evaluates the perceptual bias in the consistency of icon spacing and size caused by adaptive scaling. Then the impact of various visual features of icons (i.e., the border shape, polarity, and composition) on the perceptual bias are investigated. In this study, we found that cross-device scaling of icons causes a perceptual bias in the consistency of icon spacing and size. The shape of the icon border has a significant difference in the perceived spacing of icons, and the bias of the round shape is smaller than that of the square shape. Moreover, changing the icon polarity can affect the perceptual bias of consistency in icon size. These findings are expected to propose scaling recommendations for improving the visual consistency of icon arrays across.

Mylabris (Mylabris) ciliciensis, Kuzin, 1954: 354; Bologna, 1979: 153; 2008: 397.
Type locality. “Asia min. (Taurus cilic.) … Gülek” (Escherich, 1899). This locality, the present complete name of which is “Gülek Boğazı”, is in the southern Turkey, Içel province, 50 km North of Tarsus, on the southern slope of the Toros Dağlari.
Type specimens. Escherich (1899) recorded eigth types; they were not examined and probably are preserved at the NHMTR in the Escherich’s collection. At MNHN we examined one specimen with the following labels; “ Syrie ” (white, printed); “ Zonabris Delagrangei n.sp.” (white, hanwritten by M. Pic); “ type ” (red, printed); “ Mylabris ciliciensis Escherich Pardo Alcaide det. 1967” (handwritten by A. Pardo Alcaide). Delagrangei is is a nomen in litteris. At MNHN we also examined one specimen labelled “n.sp. Esch. Vid. Syrie Akbès C.D.1891”, “ var. caroli Pic ”, which is greatly damaged by dermestids. This infraspecific variation is probably a nomen in litteris.
Description. Body length: 10–14.5 mm; setae uniformly black, but mixed golden and black on legs; antennomeres usually dark reddish, rarely completely black, III ca. 1.5 times as long as IV, apical antennomeres evidently progressively widened, XI less than twice as long as wide (Fig. 11 A); pronotum without fore transverse depression; elytral black pattern as in Fig. 11 B: inner basal spot clearly wider than the external one and never extended along the suture to the base, external spot distanced from the elytral margin, and only rarely fused to the inner spot; mesosternum as in Fig. 11 C; male gonoforceps in lateral view clearly curved before the apical lobe (Fig. 11 E), and fused ventrally in basal third (Fig. 11 D); distal hook of aedeagus positioned almost at apex (Fig. 11 F).
Taxonomic remarks. This species is similar to M. variabilis and commonly confused with it, being distinguished from it by the characters listed in the key. The elytral variability is reduced and concerns the possible fragmentation in two spots of the fore black fascia; the inner spot can be more or less approached along the suture to the specular one of the other elytron.
Distribution. Central and southern Turkey.

Mylabris (Mylabris) concolor, Kuzin, 1954: 354; Bologna, 1979: 154; 2008: 397.
Type locality. “Asie Mineure” (Marseul, 1870). Name, used in the old literature, represents the Anatolian Peninsula.
Type specimens. The single type (which must be considered the holotype) of this species was examined at MNHN, in the Marseul’s collection.
Description. Body length: 11–13 mm; setae uniformly black, but mixed golden and black on legs; antennomeres mostly black, or III–VI dark reddish, III ca. twice as long as IV, XI slightly more than twice as long as wide (Fig. 12 A); pronotum with an evident fore transverse depression, clearly narrowed on fore third; elytra unicolour yellow-brown, without any black spots or fasciae; “scutum” of mesosternum small and short posteriorly (Fig. 12 B); male gonoforceps slender in lateral view (Fig. 12 D), and fused ventrally in basal half (Fig. 12 C); aedeagal distal hook relatively far from apex, proximal hook relatively close to the distal one (Fig. 12 E).
Taxonomic remarks. This species is phenetically similar to Mylabris (Micrabris) unicolor Faldermann, 1837, which has similar body size and unicolour brown-reddish elytra. But M. unicolor differs in the following subgeneric features: frons usually with two small red spots which can lack; pronotum more convex; “scutum” of mesosternum smooth, without any setae; apical lobe of male gonoforceps relatively long; aedeagal distal hook far from apex. Usually in M. unicolor, elytra have faint tracks of black spots visible only at microscope; we observed very scanty tracks of the external fore spot only in one M. concolor specimen.
Distribution. Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan.

Mylabris (Mylabris) desertica Bologna, in Bologna & Turco, 2007: 12.
Type locality. “ Saudi Arabia, Ha’il, Ghazzālah” (Bologna & Turco, 2007). Ghazzālah (named also Al Ghazalah, Al Ghazālah, Al-Razale, Ghazzala, Ghazzalah), is a town of the Ha’il province, in the northern desert of Saudi Arabia, positioned at 26°48’0” N–41°19’0” E, 106 m a.s.l.
Type specimens. Holotype female with the following labels: “ Saudi Arabia, Hā’il, Ghazzālah, 11.iv.1944, A. R. Waterston coll.” (BMNH); “ Holotypus Mylabris (Mylabris) desertica ♀ n.sp. M. Bologna det. 2006”.
Description. Body length: 13.4 mm; setae only black, but mixed golden and black on legs; antennomeres uniformly black, III more than 1.5 times as long as IV; pronotum with an evident fore transverse depression; elytra with two fore spots, one middle wide spot, forming almost a transverse stripe, one subapical wide and transverse spot, almost forming a stripe, and a very narrow apical margin (Fig. 13 A); mesosternum as in Fig. 13 B. Male unknown.
Taxonomic remarks. This species is highly distinct because of the elytral black pattern, which includes a transverse incomplete fascia in apical third; a similar black spot is present only in M. madoni and M. olivieri, being easily distinguished from it by the antennal and setae colour (see below).
Distribution. N Saudi Arabia.

description: Deep-sea organisms thrive under extreme conditions of high pressure and low temperature, which pose unique challenges to cellular and genetic stability. This study investigates the epigenetic mechanisms that enable these organisms to survive in such harsh environments. Using genome-wide methylation analysis and histone modification profiling, we identified key adaptations in genes related to stress response and energy metabolism. Findings reveal that epigenetic plasticity plays a crucial role in modulating gene expression, allowing for physiological resilience in extreme conditions.

Type locality. “Bône” (Chevrolat, 1840). This is the late French name of the town of Annāba, along the eastern coasts of Algeria.
Type specimens. We checked for types of Chevrolat at MNHN, but all of them seem to be lost.
Description. Body length: 10.5–20 mm; setae only black, but mixed golden and black on legs; antennomeres usually uniformly black, rarely III–VI dark reddish, III ca. 1.5 as long as IV (Fig. 15 A), XI ca. twice as long as wide; pronotal punctures wide, deep, very contiguous or confluent, especially on fore third, fore transverse depression deep; elytral black pattern very variable, as in Fig. 15 B, with an apical fascia wide; mesosternal suture generally indistinct or obliterated (Fig. 15 C); male gonoforceps slender in lateral view (Fig. 15 E), fused ventrally in basal half (Fig. 15 D); distal hook of aedeagus positioned at apex and differently inclined vs. the proximal one, sub-oblique to the aedeagal axis (Fig. 15 F).
Taxonomic remarks. Chevrolat (1840) described in the same paper three species from Algeria (M. guerini, M. rubripennis, and M. tricincta), the types of which are missing (see above), characterized by a very similar elytral pattern. For this reason, at present it is impossible to define what these species are. Pardo Alcaide (1950), referred respectively to M. guerini (and considered M. rubripennis as its synonym) and M. tricincta, the two northern African morpho-species, which are well distinct by the male genitalia characters, but have with similar elytral pattern. It being impossible to define the species by the types examination, we considered their definitions, synonymies, and characters according to Pardo Alcaide (1950).
Distribution. N Morocco, N Algeria, N Tunisia.

Schizophrenia genomics: genetic complexity and functional insights
Creators: name: Yao, Shuyang

Publisher: name: Springer Nature
Year: 2024

description: Determining the causes of schizophrenia has been a notoriously intractable problem, resistant to a multitude of investigative approaches over centuries. In recent decades, genomic studies have delivered hundreds of robust findings that implicate nearly 300 common genetic variants (via genome-wide association studies) and more than 20 rare variants (via whole-exome sequencing and copy number variant studies) as risk factors for schizophrenia. In parallel, functional genomic and neurobiological studies have provided exceptionally detailed information about the cellular composition of the brain and its interconnections in neurotypical individuals and, increasingly, in those with schizophrenia. Taken together, these results suggest unexpected complexity in the mechanisms that drive schizophrenia, pointing to the involvement of ensembles of genes (polygenicity) rather than single-gene causation. In this Review, we describe what we now know about the genetics of schizophrenia and consider the neurobiological implications of this information.
