Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) atacamensis, a new species in the subgenus Nyssorhynchus, is described and validated using morphological characters of the male and female adult, male genitalia and immature stages. Molecular characterization employing sequences of the ITS2 rDNA and COI mtDNA are provided. The new taxon is compared with Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) pictipennis (Philippi) from central Chil...

to review the diffrent aspects of gender, subtype of cah, management and results in all our patients with ambiguous genitalia diagnosed as congenital adrenal hyperplasia during the past 30 years. methods: the files of all our patients with cah reviewed retrospectively. results: out of 256 patients who had ambiguous genitalia due to cah, 96% were female and 4% were male. 21-ohd was diagnosed in ...

Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée) is an oligophagous species of plants in the Solanaceae family that has a broad geographical distribution in the tropical zones of South America. It is the most important insect pest of naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lamarck), a crop grown in threatened areas of the tropical old-growth forest in Ecuador. In this study, two host-specific populations of N. elegant...

Clinical presentation usually occurs between 2nd and 3rd decades; most cases at puberty. Exceptional cases in younger children; youngest example at 6 months of age. Male pseudohermaphroditism; phenotypically female patients presenting with amenorrhea. XY karyotype: Streak (dysgenetic) gonads with gonadoblastoma. Normal external female genitalia; clitoris enlargement and ambiguous genitalia may ...

In 2006 the US National Park Service initiated a long-term study of the Lepidoptera at White Sands National Monument, Otero County, New Mexico. Aleptina arenariasp. n., described here, was discovered in 2008, the second year of the study. The adult moths and male and female genitalia are illustrated.

Frasier syndrome is a rare inherited disease characterized by steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, gonadal tumor, and male pseudohermaphroditism (female external genitalia with sex chromosomes XY), which is based on a splice site mutation of Wilms tumor-suppressor gene 1 (WT1). Several unusual Frasier syndrome cases have been reported in which male pseudohermaphroditism was absent. We reviewed...

turner syndrome is one of the best known chromosome anomalies in human being, by an approximate incidence of 1/2500 female at birth. the cause is a chromosomal aberration, mainly with the karyotype 45, x. ninety six patients aged 6 to 26 years with short stature were studied for chromosomal anomalies. out of these 82 were phenotypically female and 14 phenotypically male. twenty seven showed abn...

Hypotheses: Individuals in good condition are better able to invest in costly traits associated with sexual selection and sexual conflict than individuals in poor condition. Sexual selection favours males with male genitalia that are appropriate for stimulating any encountered female (‘one size fits all’ hypothesis) and thus the allometric slopes of genitalia should be equal to 0. Organism: The...

Abstract A revision of the Nabis punctipennis complex is here provided. (Austronabis) subgen. nov. (type species: N. (A.) Blanchard) from South America described based on male and female genitalia. This new subgenus compared with all other subgenera in world a key for 13 composed of: argentinus Meyer-Dur, faminei Stal, paranensis Harris punctipennis. Redescriptions each species are given, image...
