This article presents a revision on all species of genus Nicephora Bolívar, 1900, describes 1 new species distribute in China ally to this genus. A key to species of the genus is given.

In this note, we use the Lopez-Ros deformation introduced in [9] to show that any embedded genus-one helicoid must be symmetric with respect to rotation by 180 around a normal line. This partially answers a conjecture of Bobenko from [3]. We also show this symmetry holds for an embedded genus-k helicoid Σ, provided the underlying conformal structure of Σ is hyperelliptic. In [3], Bobenko conjec...

A theorem of William Jaco and Eric Sedgwick states that if M is an irreducible, ∂-irreducible 3-manifold with boundary a single torus, and if M contains no genus one essential (incompressible and ∂-incompressible) surfaces, then M cannot contain infinitely many distinct isotopy classes of essential surfaces of uniformly bounded genus. The main result in this paper is a generalization: If M is a...

The genus Rhodospirillum is represented by four species, with three of them showing phylogenetic divergence compared to the type species, Rhodospirillum rubrum. Differences in the major diagnostic properties such as internal photosynthetic membranes, quinones, fatty acids, carotenoid composition and a few other phenotypic properties warrant the reclassification of members of this genus. Resulta...

A new leafhopper genus Chandra and species Chandra dehradunensis gen. nov., sp. nov. are described, illustrated from India and placed in the subtribe Paraboloponina (Cidadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Drabescini). This genus is closely associated with the genus Parabolopona Webb but differs in shape of the head, placement of antennae, male genitalia and molecular analysis using Histone H3 and COI g...

Abstract. A main issue in superstring theory are the superstring measures. D’Hoker and Phong showed that for genus two these reduce to measures on the moduli space of curves which are determined by modular forms of weight eight and the bosonic measure. They also suggested a generalisation to higher genus. We showed that their approach works, with a minor modification, in genus three and we anno...

A new genus Sumatrella gen. n. is described and illustrated based on the new species Sumatrellachelonica sp. n. collected in Sumatra, Indonesia. The new genus belongs to the family Oplitidae based on its hypertrichous internal malae and the absence of strongly sclerotized structures on the dorsal shield. The new genus is closely related to the genus Chelonuropoda Sellnick, 1954 but the transver...

The genus Calendula belongs to tribe Calenduleae, (Asteraceae family). Itmorphologically studied for the ongoing project of the flora of Iran. Based on the herbarium studies and field observation, this genus has been revised. The study was based on fresh material from field as well as herbarium specimens. All specimens existed in the herbarium of Research Institute of...

This paper presents the findings of a research on the genus Isatis L.(Brassicaceae) in Iran. Isatis specimens kept in major herbaria of Iran were examined carefully. Fresh specimens were collected from Tehran, Mazandaran, Semnan, Hamedan, Kurdistan, W. Azarbaijan , E. Azarbaijan, Ardebil and Ghazvin provinces. Images of type or otherwise valid specimens kept in Viena, Munich, Montpollier and Ke...

A new species of pygmy grasshopper from the genus Gorochovitettix is described: Gorochovitettix khaosung sp. n. from Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve, Thailand. This represents the second species from the genus and the first record of the genus outside Vietnam.
