description: [[Family Amphiliidae]]
The family Amphiliidae includes about 66 species of generally small Afro-tropical catfishes, known commonly as mountain catfishes (Skelton 2001) or loach catfishes (Nelson 1994, 2006; Berra 2001). The species are distributed from the Senegal River in the West throughout coastal West Africa, West Central Africa, the Congo basin, the Nile and East African coastal rivers from the Webi-Shebeli to the Mkomaas River system in South Africa (Berra 2001, Lévêque 1997, Skelton 2001). Diogo (2003) provides a recent review and analysis of the anatomy, phylogeny and taxonomy of the Amphiliidae indicating that there are at least three major lineages that warrant sub-familial status, viz., the Amphiliinae, the Leptoglanidinae, and the Doumeinae. Diogo’s (2003) account gives detailed character diagnoses of these sub-families.
Amphiliids are small (the largest species reach to about 200 mm SL) benthic riverine catfishes with a wide range of body form from soft-bodied to slender, firm-bodied and highly streamlined forms, some with bony plates along the body. Amphiliid catfishes are poorly known from WCA where representatives of two sub-families, the Amphiliinae and the Doumeinae occur. The Amphiliinae are more generalized soft-bodied forms with two genera in the WCA region, Amphilius Günther, and Paramphilius Pellegrin. Amphilius from the WCA include A. longirostris (Boulenger, 1901), A. pulcher Pellegrin, 1929, and A. nigricaudatus Pellegrin, 1909. Amphilius baudoni Pellegrin, 1928 was described from the region but is shown here to be a species of Paramphilius, a genus that includes three species from West Africa (Skelton et al., 2003) and Paramphilius goodi Harry, 1953 from WCA. Four new species of Amphilius are recognized and described in this paper.
Doumeine amphiliids are mostly slender and streamlined, well adapted to living in fast flowing currents. Their axial skeleton is progressively modified in the different species forming, in most genera, linear series of bony ridges or ‘plates’ along the body. Modified vertebrae are tightly inter-connected and bear stout bi-lateral dorsal and ventral flanges that, in genera other than Doumea Sauvage, expand distally to form linear series of bony plates exposed at the body surface. Two of the five doumeine genera, Doumea, and Phractura Boulenger, occur in the West Central African region. The known and described Doumea from the WCA include D. typica Sauvage, 1878 and D. thysi Skelton, 1989. An additional two species are described herein. Skelton (2007) recognizes four species of Phractura in the WCA region, namely P. brevicauda Boulenger, 1911, P. longicauda Boulenger, 1903, P. gladysae Pellegrin, 1931 and one new species as described herein.

description: Subfamily Amphiliinae
Amphiliine catfishes are soft-bodied and without bony spines in the dorsal or pectoral fins. The simple lead rays of these fins are pectinate and covered by a pad that consists of microscopic unculi (Roberts, 1982) that enable the fish to maintain contact with the substrate in flowing water. The head is depressed and the eyes are dorsal. The mouth is broad and terminal with soft fleshy lips and the lower jaw with a band of fine caniniform teeth. There is a premaxillary tooth band also with fine caniniform teeth. There are three pairs of simple tapered, sometimes flagelliform, circum-oral barbels. Amphiliines inhabit rocky stretches of rivers and feed primarily on stream invertebrates taken from the substrate. The caudal peduncle is compressed and the tail fin often broad and paddle-like. The soft adipose fin is varied in shape from being low and extended to short and ovoid. The caudal fin provides a major character separating the more plesiomorph species with 8+9 principal caudal rays from the more derived species with fewer, usually only 6+7 principal caudal rays. Plesiomorph species are mostly from “High Africa” and the derived species from “Low Africa” as described by Roberts (1975).

Amphilius

description: Genus Amphilius Günther
The genus is diagnosed on derived musculo-skeletal characters by Diogo (2003). These features are (1) the anterior margin of the mesethmoid is bifurcated, (2) there is a prominent medial process on the postero-medial surface of the angulo-articular, (3) the presence of a muscle-3 for the mandibular barbels, (4) the abductor profundus muscle is differentiated into a thick and a thin bundle with the thicker bundle situated anteriorly to the thinner. An additional derived feature is shared with other amphiliid genera, namely that the dorsal division of the arrector dorsalis muscle is constituted as a single mass of fibres situated on the ventral surface of the pectoral girdle.
Amphilius generally are small, soft-bodied catfishes found in rocky reaches of streams and rivers and are the least specialized members of this family. The head is depressed and soft skinned; the mouth terminal, broad with fleshy lips; and the villiform teeth are in bands along the upper and lower jaw. There are three pairs of simple barbels, a maxillary pair from the lateral corners of the mouth and two mandibular pairs on the ventral side of the lower jaw. The small eyes are without a free border, dorsal, widely spaced, and in the median third of the head. Anteriorly the body is moderately depressed becoming compressed posteriorly; the caudal peduncle is short, deep and compressed. The paired fins are large and fan-like with the first ray curved, pectinate and well padded. The dorsal fin is short-based, soft and flexible. There is a low, elongate or shorter, teardrop shaped adipose fin. Fin ray formulae are generally similar between the species and diagnostic features are more often found in terms of body proportions and features of the head. The species are variously cryptically patterned with bars, spots or marbling in shades of brown, black and cream. Sexual dimorphism is usually subtle, often only evident in mature and sexually active individuals. Seven species are recognized from the WCA region, four are new and described herein. Most have restricted distribution ranges and are uncommon in collections.

Taxonomy

description: Subfamily Doumeinae
Doumein fishes are adapted for living in flowing waters through attenuation and structural modification of the axial skeleton. The vertebrae are firmly interconnected and develop expanded neural and haemal spines and bi-lateral dorso- and ventro-lateral flanges. In Phractura and other genera, these vertebral extensions are expanded and form bony plates at the body surface, and these plates interlock to form armoured ridges. The caudal peduncle is slender and bony. The mouth is reduced in size and ovoid, with papillose lips and a firm medial triangular pad separating the lips of the lower jaws. The barbels are usually short, tapered and papillose. The branchiostegal membrane is united across the ventral surface. Doumeine amphiliids are characteristic of ‘low Africa’ as defined by Roberts (1975), with two genera and seven species in the West Central African region, three of these are new.

description: Genus Doumea Sauvage
Doumea species are firm-bodied, streamlined and tapered, with pointed heads, long, slender depressed caudal peduncles, and the fins large and falcate. The vertebrae show varying degree of development of expanded bony flanges but, unlike other doumeine genera, these do not form perpendicular bony plates at the body surface. However in some species the flange-like neural and haemal vertebral spines do reach the body surface to form median bony ridges and the caudal peduncle is rigid and hard-surfaced. The mouth is generally small with thick papillose lips and tapered papillose barbels. The teeth are either minute, vestigial or absent. Two species are described from the WCA region (Doumea typica Sauvage, 1878 and D. thysi Skelton, 1989) and two new species from Cameroon are recognized here and described below.

description: Genus Phractura Boulenger
Phractura are slender, firm-bodied doumeine catfishes with bilateral ridges of bony platelets or scutes formed by expansions of vertebral flanges, along the body. Trachyglanis and Belonoglanis are other doumeine genera with similar ridges of bony plates but these genera have a series over the lateral abdomen in advance of the pelvic fins; Phractura does not have a series over the abdomen before the pelvic fins. In Doumea there are no series of bony scutes on the surface of the body. The head of Phractura species is usually short with bony ridges and the caudal peduncle is long, slender and bony. Three described species are recognized from WCA (P. brevicauda, P. longicauda and P. gladysae) and one species from the Nyanga River in Gabon, is described below as new.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to J. taiwanensis and J. fuscaria in: the forewing outer margin is straight, the postmedial line is strongly protruded outwards between M1 and M2; the hindwing basal area is pale greyish brown; the tegumen posterior processes of male genitalia are digitiform, each with a bundle of long setae apically; the valva is broadened terminally, bearing two cluster of long setae near center, extending dorsally and ventrally respectively. But from the wing patterns, J. athleta can be distinguished by the indistinct and narrower medial line on hindwing. In the male genitalia, the tegumen posterior processes are very long, about four-fifths length of the uncus; the gnathos median process is shorter and broader, almost flat apically, about one-half length of the basal width; the juxta is almost symmetrical, with a small slightly sclerotized central process. In the female genitalia (Sato, 1980), the ductus bursae is shorter; the signum is almost hexagon.
Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou), Russia (Ussuri, Amur), North Korea, South Korea.
Remarks. Boarmia (Jankowskia) athleta geloi was recorded in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan provinces of China, by the description of Wehrli (1941). Later, Zhu (1981) considered these three provinces as the distribution of J. athleta. However, Boarmia (Jankowskia) athleta geloi was designated as a junior synonym of J. fuscaria fuscaria by Sato (1980). Thus, J. athleta is not reported from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan provinces of China in our study.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from J. athleta based on the following characters: larger than J. athleta (length of forewing: 25–27 mm in male); the forewing postmedial line is broader and is almost merging with the medial line near anal margin; the yellowish brown patch outside the postmedial line is indistinct; the hindwing medial line is distinct, very broad, more than thrice width of the postmedial line. In the male genitalia, the tegumen posterior processes are much shorter, less than half length of uncus; the gnathos median process is pointed apically, the length is about equal to the basal width; the juxta is asymmetrical, the left sclerotized process is digitiform, about one-fourth length of the juxta, the right side with a short sclerotized process. In the female genitalia (Sato, 1980), the signum is oval, with 13–15 long and stout spines.
Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Hubei, Fujian, Taiwan).

Diagnosis. The wing patterns of this species are similar to that of J. taiwanensis, but can be distinguished by the following characters: smaller than J. taiwanensis (length of forewing: 18–21 mm in male; 21–26 mm in female); the hindwing medial line is narrower, about twice width of the postmedial line, the postmedial line strongly protrudes inwards below M3. In the male genitalia, the gnathos median process is broader and semicircular; the juxta is asymmetrical, the left sclerotized process is triangular, about one-fifth length of the juxta, the right side is slightly sclerotized. In the female genitalia, the ductus bursae is longer and slender, almost equal to the length of the corpus bursae, weakly sclerotized; the signum is oval, bigger, bearing 19–26 small spines.
Distribution. China (Henan, Gansu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan), Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Thailand.
Remarks. The shape of the signum of the female genitalia is variable among the specimens from different localities. The signum of the specimens from Mokan-shan, Zhejiang and Huangkengdeng, Fujian are more rounded than those from Xingshan, Hubei, but otherwise similar. There may be variation of the shape of signum among J. fuscaria fuscaria in different areas of China. However the number of specimens and collecting sites are too limited to solve this problem presently.

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to J. athleta in: the forewing outer margin is almost straight; the tegumen posterior processes of the male genitalia are digitiform, each with a bundle of long setae apically; the juxta symmetrical. But it can be distinguished from that species by the forewing postmedial line which is less protruded outwards between M1 and M2, and the hindwing basal area is dull blackish brown. In the male genitalia (Sato, 1980), the tegumen posterior processes are much shorter; the valva is even in width, not broadened terminally, one cluster of long setae is present near center, extending dorsally. In the female genitalia (Sato, 1980), the ductus bursae is longer; the signum is irregularly shaped, with 4–6 long spines.
Distribution. Russia (Amur, Ussuri, South Kuriles), Japan, South Korea.

Jankowskia bituminaria bituminaria (lederer, 1853)

description: Jankowskia bituminaria bituminaria (Lederer, 1853)
Diagnosis. This subspecies is similar to J. improjecta in: the forewing outer margin is protruded, the yellowish brown patch outside the postmedial line is faint; the hindwing medial line is equal to the postmedial line in width. But it can be distinguished by the following differences: wing colour is paler; the transverse lines are more distinct. In the male genitalia, the tegumen posterior processes are absent; the terminal half of valva is narrower than in J. improjecta; the left sclerotized process of juxta is stick-like, but lacking in J. improjecta.
Distribution. Russia (South Siberia).

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SPATIALLY CORRELATED CYLINDRICAL ANTENNA ARRAY FOR 3D MASSIVE MIMO
Creators: name: Danuor, Patrick
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The spectral efficiency of three-dimensional (3D) massive MIMO is impaired due to the spatial correlation(SC) between closed-spaced elements of antenna arrays (AAs). This paper investigates the impacts ofarbitrary Q-power variations of the Power Cosine distribution for a precise characterization of the SC.This is done by presenting mathematical expressions characterizing the SC of cylindrical antenna array(CAA) regarding Student’s -t, Von Mises and Cosine distributions, for the direction of arrival (DoA) of theelectromagnetic waves impinging on the receiving antenna. Unlike the Student's -t and Von Misesdistribution, our outcome recorded huge mismatch between theoretical and simulation correlationcoefficients for arbitrary Q-power values above ten (10) which also reduced the downlink channelcapacity. The practical relevance is that even though higher Q-power values are the key parameters forsystem performance, meticulous selection of arbitrary Q-power values above ten (10) is essential tominimize errors regarding channel modelling.

Type-species: Straneostichus vignai Sciaky, 1994, by original designation.
Generic characters. Body length 9–15mm; dorsal surface usually with metallic lustre which is coppery, green, blue, violet or rarely near black. Vertex smooth or punctate; terminal labial palpomere fusiform, outer-apical end of penultimate labial palpomere with one very short seta; submentum with two setae on each side. Pronotum with one or more mid-lateral setae and one basolateral seta; basal fovea composed of one or two grooves: inner groove long, approximately one-third of the length of pronotum, outer groove short and fused to the inner one or absent. Elytra ovoid, surface with isodiametric microsculpture; scutellar striae present; basal pore present or not; third interval without discal setigerous pores; umbilicate series of pores on interval IX continuous but sparse in middle. Tarsomere Ⅴ of all tarsi setose ventrally. Metaepisternum with length subequal to basal width; hind wings reduced. Abdominal sternite VII unmodified in both sexes, usually with one pair (occasionally two pairs) of setae in males, two pairs in females. Male genitalia with aedeagus slender or a little stout, apical orifice opened to right side; right paramere short, bent at obtuse angle near middle. Gonocoxite II of ovipositor subtriangular, with one or more minute ensiform setae on outer surface; spermatheca heliciform, with spermathecal gland inserted near base.
The infra-generic taxonomy of Straneostichus was not well proposed, but the concept of fischeri -group was mentioned by Sciaky & Wrase (1997). After studying all species of this genus including the three new species hereinafter described, we confirm that two distinct species groups, vignai -group and fischeri -group, within the genus, comprised of four and seven species respectively. These two groups can be defined according to external and male genital features.
