Figure 8b
Material. One specimen found in mosses from a mountain in Jangyeol-ri, Bukpyeong-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do.
Habrotrocha ligula ligula Bryce has a small process on the sulcus base. The process is cylindrical for the most part and tapers suddenly to a pointy end. Habrotrocha ligula aligula doesn't have any process on the sulcus base. The general morphology of the Korean specimen agrees well with that in the original description except the followings: (1) while the upper lip of the type specimen was trapezoidal with pointy corners, that of the Korean specimen is trapezoidal with round corners, and (2) Burger (1948) mentioned that a fleshy round swelling covered with beating cilia was present between the pedicels in the type specimen; however, any swelling of the ciliated part between pedicels was not observed in the Korean specimen. The buccal field of bdelloids is heavily ciliated. It is not clear whether the swelling between pedicels was temporary or permanent in the original description.
This subspecies-level taxon is quite rare. It has been rediscovered only once in New Zealand (Haigh 1965) after it was described from USA by Burger (1948). Haigh (1965) mentioned that the New Zealand specimen had the flat arched upper lip, which is similar to that of the type specimens, but didn’t note whether the trapezoidal upper lip had the pointy corners. Schulte (1954) also observed this subspecies-level taxon, but he was not sure about the identification because the upper lip of German specimen was slightly bilobed medially.
Measurements. Total length in feeding 105 μm. Total length in creeping 173 μm. Corona width 37 μm. Cingu- lum width 30 μm. Cingulum pad width 28 μm. Greatest trunk width in feeding 50 μm. Trophi length 17 μm, Spur length 6.5 μm.

Xanthorhoe vinosa ranensis Prout, 1939: 257.
Visiana vinosa ranensis (Prout): Scoble, 1999: 959.
Type material. [Moluccas]: Buru. Holotype male, Rana, Station 9, L.J. Taxopeus, 1921 (BMNH, examined). Other material examined. [Moluccas]: Buru. One male, same data as holotype (BMNH).
Description. Labial palpi blackish-brown, with bright ochreous scales at the apex. Legs brown, without distinct rings of lighter scales. Wing expanse 35-37 mm (n = 2). Forewings above fawn-coloured to chestnut- and dark brown, with median band slightly darker than in V. v a r i o v i n o s a, dark brown to chestnut-brown, with some ochreous scales, edged with wavy, blackish-brown and whitish lines, with a medial projecting tooth outwards, less distinct than in V. v i n o s a, with a distinct, black discal dot, underneath mainly pinkish-brown, with several wavy median lines, forming a very fine, rounded medial projection outwards, with a small, blackish discal dot. Hind wings above dark brown at base, with distinct, wavy, brown, whitish and ochreous median lines curved towards the hind margin, underneath coloured and patterned similar to forewings, but with median line without medial projection (Figs 3, 11). Male genitalia (Figs 22, 23). Uncus elongate triangular, acute, shorter than in V. vinosa but slightly longer than in V. v a r i o v i n o s a; tegumen short, with not prominent shoulders at base of uncus, with mediumsized lateral arms directed towards the base of juxta; valvae similar to V. v i n o s a, with costa broader, sclerotised, with medium-sized, curved, tapering projecting apical process, with rounded subapical prominence and with medium-sized basal projection; saccus medium-sized, triangular shaped, smaller than in V. vinosa; juxta with relatively small, apically rounded lateral papillae; aedeagus almost straight, with anellus covered with spines, with a distinct patch of relatively long cornuti and with scobination in vesica. Female unknown.
Distribution. Moluccas (Buru: Rana).
Remarks. Only males of V. r a n e n s i s are known so far. Two females from the Moluccas (Seram) looking similar to V. r a n e n s i s are deposited in the accessions of the BMNH. Exact identification of those two specimens is hampered by the presence of sexual dimorphism. The females from Seram differ from the males of V. ranensis mainly by the larger size, by the shape of the median line in the hind wing and by the paler colouration of the wings underneath.

Egyptian localities. Eastern Desert: Ismailia, Wadi Digla; Gebel Elba: Wadi Akwametri, Wadi Edeib.
Dates of collection. March to August.
Neotype designation. Syntypes of this species have been destroyed in ESEC. Fortunately, 4 female specimens labeled as homeotypes were compared with syntypes of Exoprosopa pharaonis Paramonov by late Prof. Efflatoun Bey and deposited in EFC. To clarify the taxonomic status of the species and for nomenclatural stability, the best preserved of these homeotypes is here designated a neotype. It was collected from the type locality of E. pharaonis, Wadi Akwamtri (Gebel Elba, South Eastern Desert) on 5.v.1929.
Material examined. Neotype (here designated). ♀ W. Akwamtri, G. Elba, South Eastern Desert, 5.v.1929 (Tewfik). Other homeotypes compared with E. pharaonis by Prof. Efflatoun Bey. 2 ♀, same data as neotype; 1 ♀, Gebel Elba, South Eastern Desert, 15 March to the end of April 1928 (Tewfik); deposited in EFC.
Diagnosis. Large flies, more than 13 mm; 2nd flagellomere about as long as width of the broad base of 1st flagellomere or slightly longer; frons and face with ochreous scales, becoming white at sides of face; collar, anepisternum, laterotergites, and sides of abdominal tergite 1 with distinctly pectinate macrochaetae; scales on thorax yellowish white, becoming ochreous at anterior parts of scutum and scutellum; katepisternum covered with dense white scales; wings hyaline with a feeble but distinct milky opaque, with at most a faint yellowish infuscation at base and along anterior border; three black prealar bristles apparently present; abdomen more or less parallel sided, with white scales only, some may be yellowish, forming dense white transverse bands covering the basal halves of tergites; the sperm pump with the apical endplate large with long processes; basal bulb rounded, thin walled; reservoir rounded similar to the basal bulb, thick walled without a tapered apical extension (Fig. 19).

Type material. Papua New Guinea. [New Britain]. Holotype female, Mt Sinewit, 1160 m, WWB, 27.vi.- 17.ix.1963 (ANIC).
Description. Labial palpi brown to dark brown, with rings of whitish scales at distal end of medial palpal segment. Legs brown, without distinct rings of lighter scales. Wing expanse 42 mm (n = 1). Forewings above ochreous- to greyish-brown, with median band rather broad, darker brown, edged with a thin, wavy ochreous line, with a broad tooth-like medial projection, with basal band slightly darker than the median band, not quite distinct, with a discal dot, underneath with median band almost indistinct. Hind wings above coloured like the forewings, but slightly paler, darker brown in the basal half, with very thin, wavy, pale ochreous line, with distinct, elongate discal dot, underneath coloured and patterned like forewings, with a thin, brown median line (Figs 4, 15). Male unknown. Female genitalia (Figs 28, 32). Antrum medium-sized, rather parallel sided, with a broad ring of distinct sclerotisation distally; ductus bursae short, sclerotised, with lateral stripes of heavier sclerotisation, corpus bursae large, compared to the group of closely related species, longer than width, somewhat pear-shaped, slightly wrinkled distally, membranous, with an inconspicuous medial spot of very thin sclerotisation, with a small, elongate dropshaped diverticulum connected proximally to the corpus by a long, thin tube, with ductus seminalis arising from a small medial extension of corpus bursae; signum a rather small, rounded patch of symmetrically arranged, inwardly directed spicules.
Diagnosis. Forewings above mainly ochreous-brown, lighter than in V. r a n e n s i s, with median band broader, with basal band darker and less distinct than in V. v ar i ov i no s a. Antrum slightly heavier sclerotized, ductus bursae slightly longer and corpus bursae is larger and more elongated than in V. v a r i o v i n o s a, signum larger than in V. variovinosa but smaller than in V. horista.
Distribution. Papua New Guinea (New Britain: Sinewit). New Britain is the largest volcanic island in the Bismarck Archipelago with the air-line distance from west to east about 477 km.
Etymology. The species name combines the Latin grandis (large) and vinosa (the name of a known species), and refers to considerable size of the species described and its relationship with V. v i n o s a.

description: Using cloud Database as a Service (DBaaS) offerings instead of on-premise deployments is increasingly common. Key advantages include improved availability and scalability at a lower cost than on-premise alternatives. In this paper, we describe the design of Taurus, a new multi-tenant cloud database system. Taurus separates the compute and storage layers in a similar manner to Amazon Aurora and Microsoft Socrates and provides similar benefits, such as read replica support, low network utilization, hardware sharing and scalability. However, the Taurus architecture has several unique advantages. Taurus offers novel replication and recovery algorithms providing better availability than existing approaches using the same or fewer replicas. Also, Taurus is highly optimized for performance, using no more than one network hop on critical paths and exclusively using append-only storage, delivering faster writes, reduced device wear, and constant-time snapshots. This paper describes Taurus and provides a detailed description and analysis of the storage node architecture, which has not been previously available from the published literature.

description: This report is part of the deliverables produced by PID4NFDI, a core service for persistent identifiers developed within the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur – NFDI). Specifically, this report addresses the use-case analysis outlined in work packages 1 and 2 of the PID4NFDI initialization phase.

The purpose of this report is to showcase PID integration within the Text+ consortium using the example of the SUB Göttingen. The report focuses on two well-integratied and long-running repositories (the DARIAH-DE Repository and the TextGrid Repository) for text-based research data from the humanities. We give details on different types of integrated PIDs, metadata quality handling, interaction with major infrastructures such as DARIAH and CLARIN, and describe new requirements and developments such as improved user input interfaces.

Material examined. FSI/ CRUST: 237, 3 males (CL 10.0 mm, CW 7.0 mm), 5 females (CL 12.0 mm, CW 8.0 mm), 19°59.4’N, 86°47.6’E, 57–59 m, on Antipathes sp., coll. K. Silambarasan, 17 October 2019.
Distribution. Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Kenya, Madagascar, Seychelles, Mayotte, Réunion, Mauritius (Poupin et al. 2018) and India (Patel et al. 2022). The present record from Visakhapatnam extends its distribution to the northeast coast of India.
Commensalism. Associated with the gorgonian Antipathalia sp. (Sakai 1980). In the present study, Quadrella maculosa was found attached to the black soft coral Antipathes sp., from the Visakhapatnam coast.
Remarks. This distinctive species is recorded for the first time from the Visakhapatnam coast of India. The present specimen closely agrees with description given by (Galil 1986; Shik & Mok 1996). In our specimen, the carpus of the chelipeds possesses a prominent distomesial spine, the submedian one appearing as a weak tubercle. Our eight specimens are adults. Galil (1986) described the dorsomesial margin of the cheliped merus as spiniform in juveniles, but obtuse in adults. In our specimens, the dorsomesial margin of the cheliped merus is spinous in females and obtuse in males. Moreover, the present specimens agree in all respects with the account of Shik & Mok (1996).
