Nagyelma n. gen. is erected for the northern Vietnamese Ennea aliena Bavay and Dautzenberg, 1912. The most closely related genus probably Elma H. Adams, 1866, which also has a high-spired shell but differs from new in absence of parietal tooth, pointed-ovoid shape, penial sheath, covers only half penis.

The genus Naja Laurenti, 1768, is partitioned into four subgenera. The typical form is restricted to 11 Asian species. The name Uraeus Wagler, 1830, is revived for a group of four non-spitting cobras inhabiting savannas and open formations of Africa and Arabia, while Boulengerina Dollo, 1886, is applied to four non-spitting African species of forest cobras, including terrestrial, aquatic and se...

The Indo-pacific araneid genus Anepsion, with A. rhomboides (L. Koch, 1867) as the type species, was erected by Strand in 1929. He proposed the name Anepsion as a replacement name for Anepsia L. Koch, 1871, preoccupied by Anepsia Gistl, 1848, a dipteran genus (OBIS Australia, 2015). The genus was revised by Chrysanthus (1961, 1969) and currently has 16 described species and 1 subspecies (World ...

ON 20 May I 767, a meeting was held at the New Inn at Leeds to 'consider of the Expediency of an Infirmary'. It was unanimously agreed 'That a Parochial Infirmary in this Place will be of great Utility'. At a meeting in June it was further agreed that the proposed infirmary should serve not only the parish of Leeds but 'that the Infirmary intended to be erected be declared a General One' and it...

Three different Swedish lightweight multistory buildings have been investigated with respect to the flanking transmission over an inner wall. Among the buildings analysed, one of them had been used by residents for three years and the two other were only just erected and being built respectively. A tapping machine and a Japanese ball were used as excitation sources so as to produce vibrations i...

Field trials carried out upon the second more poisonous compound, bis dimethylamino fluoro phosphine oxide, proved its exceptional effectiveness as an insecticide and since an economic process for its manufacture had been developed and a ready sale of the product was assured, there was ample incentive for its early manufacture. Moreover, the plant erected earlier for the small-scale manufacture...

Meschiidae fam. nov. is erected for the genera Meschia Distant, 1910, containing four species: M. pugnax Distant, 1910 and M. quadrimaculata Distant, 1910 from India, M. woodwardi Scudder, 1957 from Queensland, Australia, and M. barrowensis sp. nov. from Barrow Island, Western Australia, and the related Neomeschia gen. nov. with type species N. queenslandensis sp. nov. from Queensland, Australi...

On the basis of the antennal characters, the entire eye, and the tuft of pleural hair on the prothorax, Schedl (1962:85) erected the genus Nemopagiocerus for his Eupagiocerus nevermanni. This species and the two described below as new were studied in the field, and all three species were compared to the type of dentipes Blandford All three species breed in the pith of woody vines where they hav...

Craspodema reflectans, erected by Gerlach 1964, is here re-described from some specimens recently found in the Maldivian archipelago and the implication of the new findings for the taxonomy of the Craspodema genus is discussed. Accordingly, an emended diagnosis of Craspodema genus and C. reflectans species are proposed. New data are also provided with the aid of the confocal laser scanning micr...

New excavations and survey on the island of Rapa have shown that a rockshelter was occupied by early settlers around AD 1200 and the first hill forts were erected about 300 years later. Refortification occurred up to the contact period and proliferated around AD 1700. Taro cultivation in terraced pond-fields kept pace with the construction of forts. The authors make a connection between fort-bu...
