description: Sleep deprivation (SD) has been shown to have a negative impact on cognitive performance of people who experience social pressure, increased life pace, long working hours etc. SD seems to affect performance on working memory tasks and related brain activation. This systematic review aimed at summarizing available evidence about the effects of SD on working memory task performance. A literature review was carried out, using a stepwise searching approach. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for studies published from January 1960 to September 2022. There are consistent findings that SD has negative impact on working memory task performance, as evidenced in reaction time, accuracy, and omission rates, as well as in brain activation.

Taxonomic note: Vives (2018) catalogued and illustrated 60 types of long-horned beetles, described by Breuning (1980) and deposited in the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN), Paris. The holotype of Mimomorpha flavopunctata is illustrated in Fig. 52 (Vives 2018). Hüdepohl (1995) described a new genus Ametacyna Hüdepohl, 1995 and A. holzschuchi Hüdepohl, 1995. The holotype of it was provided by Hüdepohl in Fig. 4. During the study of photographs and descriptions of holotypes of Mimomorpha flavopunctata and Ametacyna holzschuchi, we concluded that these taxa are conspecific morphologically. Thus, new synonymy was provided: Ametacyna holzschuchi Huedepohl, 1995 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Mimomorpha flavopunctata Breuning, 1980. As the genus Ametacyna is monotypic, it is also considered to be a junior synonym of the genus Mimomorpha Newman, 1842 (= Ametacyna Hüdepohl, 1995 syn. nov.).

The specimen is a remarkably well-preserved fossil, so much that A.D. Warren (pers. comm.), who saw the specimen in July, 2015, thought it was a fake. According to Warren it exactly resembles the extant Pierella helvina Hewitson (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae), which is distributed from Nicaragua to Ecuador with Colombia being the type locality, except for the reddish color of the extant species. However, the fossil has not yet been studied in detail. In view of the young age of the fossil it is of little interest for calibration of the molecular clock, except for the evolution within the genus Pierella.

description: Organizational scholars have traditionally argued that formalized operations to regulate the flow of business activities and employee policies to coordinate work distribution are essential for small enterprising business sustainability and growth. However, empirical findings show that small firms do not develop, implement, or provide oversight of formal organizational practices. While small businesses seem to lack the organizational structures that are assumed to be essential for “rational” business operations and sustainability, many flourish. In order to better understand how small enterprising businesses are able to create and maintain stable organizations and adapt to internal and external pressures, this cross-industry ethnographic study of four firms examines the daily work of business owners, managers, and employees. Through a cultural analysis focusing on interpersonal relationships and the way daily business activities are legitimized, challenged, and occasionally transformed, I find that entrepreneurial firms enact three different small group performances. I label these cultural performances: routine business performance, routine crisis performance, and routine growth performance. Rather than standard operating procedures, proper emergency planning, or strategic growth initiatives, the ongoing creation of group histories, meanings, and affiliations provide the needed material to generate small group cohesion that creates order in entrepreneurial firms.

description: Dwarf galaxy abundances can serve as discernment tests for models of structure formation. Previous small-scale tensions between observations and dark matter-only cosmological simulations may have been resolved with the inclusion of baryonic processes; however, these successes have been largely concentrated on the Local Group dwarfs the feedback models were initially calibrated on. We investigate whether the $Λ$CDM model can reliably reproduce dwarf abundances in the MATLAS low-to-moderate density fields that are centred upon early-type host galaxies beyond the Local Volume. We carried out mock observations of MATLAS-like fields with the high-resolution hydrodynamic simulation IllustrisTNG-50. We used matching selection criteria and compared the properties of dwarfs contained within them with their MATLAS analogues. Although simulated MATLAS-like dwarfs demonstrate photometric properties that are consistent with the observed galaxy population and follow the same scaling relations, TNG50 underestimates the number of dwarf galaxies in isolated MATLAS fields at the 6 sigma level. This significance is maintained within crowded fields containing more than a single bright host. Our 55-62% estimate of the fraction of background galaxies is in agreement with estimates by MATLAS, but is wholly insufficient to alleviate this discrepancy in dwarf abundances. Any incompleteness in the observed fields further exacerbates this tension. We identified a "too-many-satellites" problem in $Λ$CDM, emphasising the need for the continued testing and refining of current models of galaxy formation in environments beyond the Local Group.

Truth and justice versus interdependence

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Truth and justice has been applauded as the way to move on from a violent past. Yet, some postconflict societies managed to do so without the presence, or effective presence, of truth commissions and/or human rights trials. The question is why and how. I approach the question by looking at the case of Maluku, Indonesia, where post- communal conflict reconciliation processes took the interdependence path. Looking into the various meanings that Malukans assign to the term rekonsiliasi, as well as at the sites where interdependence is practiced: (1) ceremonial, (2) neighborhood, (3) functional-quotidian, and (4) narrative, I argue that three conditions, combined, allowed Malukans to opt for interdependence instead of truth and justice: (1) provokator narratives, (2) the idea that everyone is complicit, and (3) memories of peace, of being basudara. I also argue that interdependence work through three mechanisms: (1) emphasizing on social roles rather than religious identity, (2) providing space to symbolically display apologies and forgiveness and (3) creating focal points for peace.

An abstract approach to pointwise decay estimates for dispersive equations
Creators: name: Larenas, Manuel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In the study of dispersive equations one is faced with the need to quantitatively estimate the decay rate of the solution in various norms. The pointwise decay estimates are particularly useful in applications, for instance, to prove asymptotic stability of solutions or to obtain the more general Lp decay estimates.    In this dissertation we develop a new abstract theory to prove pointwise decay estimates in weighted spaces, starting only from a general commutator identity that should be satisfied by the Hamiltonian H and a conjugate operator A. We show that for Schrodinger type equations generated by an abstract H, the identity [H,iA] = g (H)+K combined with Kato-smoothness of K and a regularity assumption of the type H in C^1(A), are sufficient to prove pointwise decay estimates of the Kato-Jensen type.    Our results apply at energy thresholds and do not explicitly use the kernel of the (unperturbed) Hamiltonian. Consequently, they are easier to implement on manifolds. We give several examples to show that such pointwise estimates follow effortlessly from the general theory.
Dissipative particle dynamics simulation for self-assembly of  polymer and surfactant solution
Creators: name: Lee, Ming-Tsung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is a mesoscale tool bridging the gap between  microscopic atomistic simulation and macroscopic thermophysical modeling. After its  interaction parameters are mapped to the Flory-Huggins parameters (Groot and Warren,  Journal of Chemical Physics, 1997), DPD has become very popular in studying the selfassembly  of polymer and surfactant solution. Although DPD has demonstrated the  capability to qualitatively describe the equilibrium morphology of soft matter, quantitative  prediction compared with experiments is rarely achieved. The reasons are, non-separately,  the ambiguous physical unit interpretations and the case-dependent force field  parameterizations. Here we present a scale-bridging method to extract both microscopic  and macroscopic information for parameterization. The interaction parameters are  calibrated by Monte Carlo simulation and mapped to infinite dilute coefficient of the  reference compounds in the coarse grained particles. The robustness and consistency of the  parameterization are examined against the experimental micellar properties of several  surfactants, by varying coarse grained levels and reference compounds.    Modeling dynamic properties in self-assembled materials using DPD is even tricky. A  practical example is to model proton transfer of polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) in the  fuel cell, where proton dissociates from the acidic sites of hydrated PEM and transfer  within the hydrophilic domain. Such detailed, reaction-like behavior can’t be quantified  directly from the simulation due to the simplicity of current DPD model. One would need  to either correlate the morphology to the proton diffusivity by empirical equations, or  perform inverse mapping and continue with expensive atomistic simulations. Here we  present an advanced approach which describes the proton dynamics in water as well as its  dissociation equilibrium from the acid. Combined with the scale-bridging  parameterization, the model predicts the morphology, water transfer, and proton  conductivity of sulfonated polystyrene at several sulfonation and hydration levels, and has  very good agreements with experimental measurement and atomistic simulation results.

Subjects: Economic crisis; End of ideologies; Generational effect on ideology; Ideology of Right and Left; Political identity

description: This research aimed to investigate the effect of age, gender and political identity on the end of ideology’s perception in Greece. While social scientists often refer to the decline of the left-right distinction, the present research focused on the content and differentiated meaning of left-right ideology based on individuals’ identity. Participants (N = 400) represented three generations (20-30, 40-55, and over 60 years of age). Individuals replied to 18 close-ended questions related to the left-right distinction, to a left-right self-placement scale, and to a scale of prototypical ideas of the right and the left. Exploratory factor analysis on the ideas regarding the left-right ideology revealed four factors, rejection of the left-right distinction, defense of political right, disappearance of the conflict between the left and the right nowadays, cooperation between left and right. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied for the exploration of the effects of generation, gender and political identity. Τhe results showed that while those positioned on the center (neither left, nor right) rejected the left-right distinction, as obsolete, the rightists and even more the leftists, asserted that it continues to exist. Women tended to reject more than men the left-right distinction, while men to defend right-wing policies and cooperation between the right and the left. Moreover, people aged 40-55 years old believed that there is cooperation between the left and the right. Young people, aged 20-30 years old, were less likely to support political right and tended to reject the left-right distinction.

Analysis of volatile organic compounds emitted by filamentous fungi and volatile-mediated plant growth
Creators: name: Lee, Samantha Yun Jeng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a small portion of the total metabolites produced by organisms; however, their unique properties enable them to mediate important biological functions, especially in aerial and terrestrial environments.  In agriculture, the potential uses of VOCs include volatile-mediated inhibition of pathogen growth and increased plant systemic resistance.  Filamentous fungi in the genus Trichoderma are robust biological control agents as they utilize several modes of action including resistance, antibiosis, competition and myco-parasitism.  Earlier work by our laboratory demonstrated the ability of Trichoderma-derived VOCs to stimulate Arabidopsis growth.      In this dissertation, Trichoderma emission profiles, concentrations, quantities, and VOC-mediated effects on plants were measured in order to develop a mechanistic understanding of the volatile-mediated Trichoderma-to-plant interactions.  Trichoderma volatile-mediated plant growth promotion was dependent on the age of the fungal culture, developmental stage of the plant, duration of the exposure, and was isolate-specific.  Screening of 20 Trichoderma isolates for VOC-induced growth of Arabidopsis identified 9 growth promoting isolates increasing plant biomass (up to 41.6%) and chlorophyll content (>89.3%).  In addition, similar responses to VOC mixtures were obtained in tomatoes, i.e. a significant increase in plant biomass (>99%), larger plant size, and significant development of lateral roots, suggesting that plant growth promotion may occur through a similar mode of action in different types of plants.  GC-MS analysis of VOCs from Trichoderma isolates led to identification of more than 147 unique compounds and several unknown sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and tetraterpenes.      After VOCs were identified from GC-MS data, 26 compounds were selected and tested individually on Arabidopsis in order to determine if individual compounds could mimic the effects of Trichoderma volatile mixtures on plant growth.  Of the compounds tested, exposure to 1-decene yielded increased seed germination, plant fresh shoot weight (>38.9%), and chlorophyll (>67.8%).  RNA sequencing analysis of Arabidopsis shoots treated with 1-decene for 72 hours identified 123 differentially expressed genes involved in volatile responses.  Up-regulated genes were related to growth, responses to hormone and cell wall modifications inducible by auxin.  The RNA-seq data provides a list of candidate genes to screen in future research on the biological activities of fungal VOCs.
Rhyme and history in Victorian poetics
Creators: name: Levine, Naomi Grierson
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation argues that Victorian experiments with rhyme grew out of a broader cultural fascination with the literary historical myths found in contemporary aesthetics and historiography. Although rhyme has come to be regarded as an unsophisticated sound effect, for Victorians it provoked urgent questions about the relationship between past and present, the importance of national and ethnic identity, and even the nature of human experience. In nineteenth-century literary historical prose, the advent of rhyme signaled the beginning of the modern European literary tradition and, by extension, the emergence of modern subjectivity. Its origins were consequently a matter of passionate dispute. Through a range of formal techniques from stanzaic patterning to assonance to blank verse, poets entered live debates about rhyme: whether it began in the East or West, how it moved into English literature, whether it signified spiritual achievement or cultural decline, and how it registered in the mind and body. Drawing on a rich archive of prose written and read by Victorian poets but largely neglected now, I show that nineteenth-century conceptions of literary history were not identical with our own. To understand Victorian poetic forms, this dissertation proposes, we need to think less about literary history as a stable category and more about a proliferation of competing literary historiographies. Thus, “Rhyme and History in Victorian Poetics” takes up recent challenges to think historically about literary form, but it does so by recovering the nineteenth-century assumption that forms and histories are necessarily entwined.  This study engages with current scholarship on prosody, the history of literary criticism and aesthetics, Victorian transnationalism, and literary formalisms as it reconstructs a nineteenth-century canon of rhyme theories. Individual chapters show Arthur Hallam mining Arabist historiography for evidence of rhyme’s affective powers; Alfred Tennyson using Provençal poetics to reinvent the lyric stanza; Elizabeth Barrett Browning devising a capacious “rhymatology” that encompasses even epic blank verse; and Coventry Patmore building a new form of ode out of a historiographic theory of pauses.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate students' perceptions of language teaching practices in relation to their achievement goal orientations and cognitive outcomes.  Participants were 543 seventh graders attending Modern Greek Language. The study utilized self-report scales to measure students’ achievement goal orientations, students’ perceptions about the goals adopted by teachers, students' perceptions of didactic practices that their teachers used during the lesson, students’ interest about the lesson, perceived difficulty of the lesson and achievement in writing. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three latent profiles: 'High Goals', 'Mastery Goals', and 'Medium Goals'. These profiles were predicted by teachers' perceived goals, and by student-centered didactic practice which was discriminated into critical thinking, and deep understanding. The first profile was only positively associated with students’ perceptions that their teachers adopt performance goals, the second profile with students’ perceptions that their teachers adopt mastery goals, critical thinking, and deep understanding, but negatively associated with students’ perceptions that their teachers promote performance goals. The third profile had a negative association with students’ perceptions that their teachers adopt mastery goals and student-centered didactic practice. These findings are discussed in the context of current theory, which emphasizes the constructive role of mastery goals and instructional practices that focus on critical thinking and deep understanding.

Improving and tuning the performance of server systems

Year: 2015

description: Modern server systems incorporate complex hardware and software technologies, such as solid-state drives and software virtualization. Maximizing the performance of these complex systems involves many challenges. For example, their performance can often be strongly affected by multiple configuration parameters.  At the same time, service providers using these servers often have complex performance objectives, such as achieving multiple performance targets at the same time.    In this dissertation, we address three such challenges: improving space efficiency in solid-state drives used as caches (and consequently performance) for storage arrays, reducing performance variability in virtualized systems, and engineering performance to meet multiple performance targets. We built three systems to tackle these challenges concretely. The first system, called Nitro, uses deduplication and local compression to increase the effective (solid-state) cache size of network-attached storage systems, improving performance and space efficiency while minimizing total cost. The second system, called VirtualFence, leverages solid-state drives and non-work-conserving scheduling to provide consistent I/O performance in virtualized multi-tenant systems. The third system, called OpTune, mitigates the complexity of tuning performance to meet multiple performance targets in multi-tier systems using optimization.  Our extensive experimental evaluations show that our systems can consistently improve performance and/or achieve the desired performance objectives.  These positive results suggest that the principles and techniques embodied in our systems are strong steps toward effectively managing the performance of modern server systems.

description: Disability is a broad concept and carries several classifications. Generally, it refers to a condition or impairment that limits a person's physical, sensory, cognitive, or psychological capacities to such an extent that it interferes with their day-to-day activities and participation in society. This study, based on published articles aimed to illuminate the psychosocial outcomes of disability-related stigma and social exclusion among people with physical disabilities. A systematic search was carried out from January 1st 2001 to January 25th 2024 in various databases, namely PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Random Google Searches. Studies related to psychosocial outcomes of disability-related stigma and social exclusion were located. Seven hundred sixteen articles were found, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, fifteen studies remained. Psychosocial outcomes of disability-related stigma and social exclusion were psychological outcomes such as mental health issues, low self-esteem, social outcomes such as discrimination, diminished quality of life, social isolation, economic outcomes, and academic outcomes. Disability-related stigma and social exclusion significantly impact the psychological and social well-being of individuals with physical disabilities, leading to adverse psychological outcomes (reduced self-esteem), social outcomes (reduced social support and increased social isolation), academic and economic outcomes (poor academic performance, low education, and lake of job) that facilitate the diminished quality of life.

Subjects: Media; Minority influence; Political ideology; Protest paradigm

description: This research examined the effects of protest paradigm framing (i.e., the negative, stereotypical coverage of protests by the media) on audience identification with a protest event, the group, and the social movement represented by the protest. Participants (N = 280) were randomly allocated in two experimental conditions, reading a balanced and a negatively framed article on the same protest event (anti-speciesism group protest). Results revealed statistically significant intergroup differences in perceived image of protest group characteristics and identification with protest and social movement of anti-speciesism, controlled for individual political ideology. A hypothesized multiple serial mediation model was examined, and the results indicated that protest coverage framing is indirectly related to identification with the protest event through minority’s both perceived negotiation flexibility and consistency of beliefs, which affect the audience’s evaluation of the minority/protest group’s radical character and image as a threat to social stability. The ways the representations of minority groups through media as rigid, violent and radical act as a mechanism of blocking minority influence are further discussed.

Light-activated rare earth cation interphase transport
Creators: name: Li, Tianrui
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: We design a method to achieve rare earth cation interphase transport under the control of external light. Photoisomerizable molecules (PMs) obtained via a one-step synthesis routine are used to capture rare earth cations utilizing cavity-size-fit theory and transport the ion between the two different phases. Under the influence of light, the PMs are capable of switching between “trans-”and “cis-” isomers, resulting in a change of chemical polarity. Meanwhile, the size-fit crown ether on the PMs can capture desired rare earth elements to transport the cations between two different phases. In our research, we used benzo-15-crown-5 ether (B15C5) as PMs to manipulate the distribution of trivalent Europium cations (Eu3+) in different phases. The complex formed by trans-PMs and Eu3+ went to different solvent with the configuration changing to the “cis-” one under the control of externally applied ultraviolet (UV) light. Concentration distribution is measured by photoluminescence (PL) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The transport efficiency of PMs to the desired Eu3+ cations reaches 30% after the process reaches equilibrium within 100 min; cis-PMs have greater affinity to aqueous solutions after UV light exposure. PL intensity is linearly proportional (R2>0.999) to low concentrations of Eu3+.  This work used a simple synthesis method to demonstrate PMs has the capability to capture and transport rare earth ion between different phases. It provided the theoretical basis for further research on rare earth elements recovery from the industrial wastes.

Riodinidae: Riodininae: Nymphidiini.
Dominican Republic: Cordillera Septentrional between Santiago and Puerto Plata; Dominican amber, Burdigalian, early Miocene.
Depository: AIOSU (one specimen).
Published figure: DeVries & Poinar (1997: Fig. 1).
DeVries & Poinar (1997) described a fossil caterpillar that differs little from modern-day Theope (Riodinidae). They pointed out that the combined presence of tentacle nectary organs, vibratory papillae, and balloon setae which seem to be present, are found only on riodinid caterpillars in the tribe Nymphidiini, and nowhere else among the Lepidoptera (Cottrell 1984; Harvey 1987; DeVries 1997). In the extensive molecular phylogenetic analysis by Espeland et al. (2015), the genus was assigned to the tribe Nymphidiini, and they placed the calibration point of 15–20 Ma on the stem of Theope virgilius (Fabricius) and T. philotes (Westwood), apparently on the basis of overall similarity of the larva. There are, however, no synapomorphies known for the larvae of Theope and a more conservative calibration point would be at the base of Nymphidiini.

Combustion simulation and kinetic modeling using hybrid reduction scheme

description: Combustion simulation is a promising tool for multi-disciplines such as fuel development, engine design and emission control. Two biggest challenges confronting us include developing a sufficiently detailed kinetic mechanisms of combustion and formulating numerically implementing models that are capable to capture the essentials but computationally affordable. However, combustion simulations using detailed kinetic mechanisms are often prohibitive in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) due to unaffordable computational cost. Thus, the objective of the research is to reduce the computational intensity of detailed kinetic calculations by an on-the-fly/QSSA hybrid mechanism reduction scheme.  The work consists of two parts: (i) integrating the hybrid reduction scheme in CRUNCH CFD® to enable detailed kinetic calculations; and (ii) applying the hybrid reduction scheme to larger kinetic mechanisms like n-pentane and biodiesel surrogate methyl butanoate (MB). The models include plug flow reactor (PFR), multi-dimensional engine CFD in KIVA-3V and a supersonic nozzle combustion in CRUNCH CFD®. A fast flux-based QSS species selection method is also employed to quickly select QSS species for various situations. The efficiency and accuracy of the hybrid reduction have been successfully demonstrated according to our results. Aided by fast QSS species selection, the hybrid reduction scheme is efficient to perform complex combustion simulations accurately using large detailed mechanisms.

description: Imprecisions are often encountered for powers and predictive powers in clinical trials. The imprecision issues of two conditional powers (classical conditional power (CCP) and bayesian conditional power (BCP)) and six predictive powers with interim data are investigated in this article. At the beginning, we have evaluated the limits of the probabilities of control superior (CS), treatment superior (TS), and equivocal (E) of the two conditional powers and the six predictive powers at point 0 when the sample size of the interim data is fixed. Moreover, we have conducted extensive numerical experiments to exemplify the imprecision issues of the two conditional powers and the six predictive powers. First, we have computed the probabilities of CS, TS, and E for the two conditional powers when the true treatment effect favors control, treatment, and equivocal, respectively. Second, we have computed the probabilities of CS, TS, and E for the six predictive powers under the sceptical prior and the optimistic prior, respectively. We find that the two conditional powers and the six predictive powers will encounter the imprecision issues as long as the parameter values are properly chosen. Finally, a real data example is given to illustrate the imprecision issues.
Integrated design, evaluation and optimization of biomass conversion to chemicals

description: The great economic and environmental incentives have motivated the development of biorefinery as an alternative to refinery, since biomass resources can be used to produce both high-volume and low-value fuels and high-value chemicals. Intensive interests have arisen to develop biobased chemicals and ten top added-value platform chemicals are determined including ethanol, furfural, glycerol and derivatives, levulinic acid, hydroxymethylfufural (HMF) etc. [1-3]. This work focuses on the development of efficient and economically sustainable routes for the production of bio-based platform chemicals such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural and their conversion to p-xylene and phthalic anhydride correspondingly.  The acceptance of these products in the market place depends on their competitiveness compared with petroleum-based products in terms of not only economics but also process sustainability. The goal is to study the production of biobased chemicals from the viewpoint of process systems engineering and to develop an integrated framework implementing process design, simulation, heat integration, life cycle assessment (LCA) and process optimization in order to achieve more economically and environmentally friendly production alternative. First, technoeconomic analysis and LCA are used to evaluate the production of p-xylene from starch or glucose via HMF. Then the same approaches are extended to the production of phthalic anhydride from hemicellulose solution via furfural. Finally, the framework of process flowsheet optimization is presented using surrogate-based models to represent the detailed models and it is applied in the production of HMF from glucose to optimize operating conditions and compare different alternatives.

description: styx. Lithopsyche styx Scudder, 1889
Nymphalidae.
USA, Colorado, Teller County, Florissant; Late Priabonian, Late Eocene.
Depository: MCZH (holotype).
Published figures: Emmel et al. (1992: Fig. 1 /2); Murata (1998: Figs 51, 52); Scudder (1889: Pl. LII Figs. 11, 16, 17).
This specimen presents only an overlapping forewing and hindwing, the former without an apex. The forewing has a radial formula of radial formula 1, 2+(3+(4+5)) (forking of R4-R5 reconstructed, missing in fossil), R2 originating very close to upper corner of cell, cell closed. The hindwing cell is open. The wing pattern is obscure and irregular.
According to Scudder (1889) this fossil is closer to Jupiteria charon from the same excavation site than it is to any living species (see entry under that species). The open hindwing cell is an apomorphic character state in (part of) the Nymphalidae. The assignment also agrees with the radial vein arrangement. Any further statement about the relationship is unwarranted. Because of Scudder’s remark on its relationship to Jupiteria, Emmel et al. (1992) listed the fossil under Nymphalinae.
Lithopsyche Scudder, 1889, is a junior homonym of Lithopsyche Butler, 1889 (type-species Lithopsyche antiqua Butler, see above). Cockerell (1909) replaced it with Lithodryas.
