Palaearctic species of the weevil genus Mecinus Germar, 1821 are revised. A total of 47 species are recognized, one of which, M. baridioides sp. n. is new to science. Mecinus dorsalis var. tavaresi Hoffmann, 1958 (stat. rev.) is considered as a distinct species, whereas M. alboscutellatus var. atratulus (Solari, 1933) is maintained as a subspecies of M. alboscutellatus (Hustache, 1913). The fol...

In this paper, a band gap voltage reference using MOSFETs in strong inversion region is presented. The proposed circuit represents a high PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) and low temperature sensitivity and is capable of operating properly at supply voltages lower than 1v. In the designed circuit, the PSRR is improved using regulated voltage and a feedback loop. In addition, the circuit is i...
