NOTES ON NEW WORLD ZINGIBERACEAE II

The New World genus Rhinoleucophenga (Diptera: Drosophilidae): new species and notes on occurrence records.

The genus Rhinoleucophenga Hendel comprises 26 nominal species with New World distribution. In the present study, two new species are described from samples in the Pampa and Caatinga biomes in Brazil, R. punctuloides sp. nov. and R. trivisualis sp. nov., respectively. Rhinoleucophenga punctuloides sp. nov. is a sibling species of R. punctulata Duda. Furthermore, two females of R. joaquina Schmi...

Lemma 2.1. Let F be a field, let E = F (α) be a simple extension of F , where α is algebraic over F and f = irr(α, F, x), let ψ : F → K be a homomorphism from F to a field K, and let L be an extension of K. If β ∈ L is a root of ψ(f), then there is a unique extension of ψ to a homomorphism φ : E → L such that φ(α) = β. Hence there is a bijection from the set of homomorphisms φ : E → L such that...

Borneocola (Zingiberaceae), a new genus from Borneo

A new genus from Borneo, Borneocola Y.Y.Sam, is described here. The genus currently contains eight species previously classified as members of the Scaphochlamys Baker. The finding is based on the results of the morphological and molecular studies of Scaphochlamys throughout its geographical range and its closely allied sister groups, Distichochlamys M.F.Newman and Myxochlamys A.Takano & Nagam. ...
