Two new species of the genus Ypsolopha Latreille, 1796 are described from Far East of Russia: Ypsolopha melanofuscella sp. n. and Ypsolopha straminella sp. n. Two new synomymies are proposed: Ypsolopha ulingensis Yang, 1977, a new junior synonym of Ypsolopha costibasella (Caradja, 1939); and Cerostoma falculella Erschoff, 1877, a new junior synonym of Ypsolopha asperella Linnaeus, 1761. The spe...

THE presence of diffusing factors in snake venoms has been demonstrated by Duran-Reynals [1936, 1939]. The immediate effect of intracutaneous injection of indicator solutions containing rattlesnake venom is similar to that of solutions containing testicular diffusing factor [Madinaveitia, 1939], namely,. an almost instantaneous flattening of the resulting bleb with rapid spread of the indicator...

The Chinese species of the genera Omicrogiton Orchymont, 1919, Peratogonus Sharp, 1884 and Mircogioton Orchymont, 1937 are reviewed, diagnosed and keyed. Mircogioton and Omicrogiton are reported for the first time from China, Peratogonus for the first time for mainland China. Five species are recognized: Omicrogitoncoomani Balfour-Browne, 1939 (Guangdong, Hongkong), Omicrogitonhainanensis sp. n...

Acetylcholine has been demonstrated to speed the heart of several of the decapod crustacea (Welsh, 1939 a and b; Davenport, Loomis and Opler, 1940 and Davenport, 1941), the grasshopper (Hamilton, 1939), and LiMulus (Garrey, 1941). Is this reaction, which may be indicative of a neurogenic heart, a general characteristic of the arthropods? The pharmacology of the heart of the cladoceran, Daphnia,...

Three species of the pagurid hermit crab genus Pagurixus Melin, 1939, are reported from Europa Island in the Mozambique Strait, western Indian Ocean: P. haigae Komai & Osawa, 2007, P. annulus n. sp., and P. europa n. sp. Pagurixus haigae is recorded from the western Indian Ocean for the first time. Pagurixus annulus n. sp. and P. europa n. sp. are referred to the P. boninensis (Melin, 1939) spe...

Experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of sulfanilamide upon hemolytic streptococci growing within the animal body, yet protected by collodion membranes from phagocytosis. The method of manufacturing the collodion sacs used in the experiments has previously been described (Harris, 1939). Theories regarding the r6le of phagocytosis in the drug's action have been amply discussed by L...

The cholinergic nature of transmission at the electromotor synapse of Torpedo marmorata was established at Arcachon in 1939 by Feldberg, Fessard and Nachmansohn (J. Physiol. (Lond.) 97 (1939/1940) 3P-4P) soon after transmission at the neuromuscular junction had been shown to be cholinergic. In 1964, after a quarter of a century of neglect, workers in Cambridge, then in Paris, Göttingen and else...
