A new species of the genus Haploperla, Haploperla triangulatasp. n., is described and illustrated from specimens collected in Qinghai province, China. Haploperla triangulata is characterized by the epiproct mostly sclerotized and hairless, sub-triangular in dorsal view and blunt at tip; and by the aedeagus with two median elliptical lobes ventrally. The new species is compared with its most sim...

HE existence of several allelomorphs at the S locus has been demonstrated in T Nicotiana spp. (EAST and YARNELL 1929), Veronica syriaca (LEHMANN 1926), Antirrhinum glutinosum ( GRUBER 1932), Trifolium pfatense (WILLIAMS 1939; and WILLIAMS and WILLIAMS 1947), Oenothera organensis (EMERSON 1939, 1940) and Trifolium repens (ATWOOD 1944).

The backshore zone is transitional environment strongly affected by ocean, air and sand movements. On dissipative beaches, the formation of ephemeral dunes over the backshore zone plays significant contribution in the beach morphodynamics and sediment budget. The aim of this work is to describe a novel method to identify ephemeral dunes in the backshore region and to discuss their morphodynamic...
