Based on examination of type specimens a crane fly species Tipula (Vestiplex) hugueniniana Alexander, 1971 is proposed as junior synonym of Tipula (V.) wahlgrenana Alexander, 1968. The new synonymy is based on similarity of male genitalia.

After examining syntypes of Onthophagus cervicornis Kirby, 1825, previously considered to be a synonym of the North American Onthophagus striatulus (Palisot de Beauvois, 1809), we confirm the true identity and new synonymy under South Asian Onthophagus dama (Fabricius, 1798).

Automatic extraction of semantic information, if successful, offers to languages with little or poor resources, the prospects of creating ontological resources inexpensively, thus providing support for common-sense reasoning applications in those languages. In this paper we explore the automatic extraction of synonymy information from large corpora using two complementary techniques: a generic ...
