Both leucomorph and anamorph developmental stages of Anamixis bananaramasp. n., are illustrated and described from shallow back reef environments of Moorea, French Polynesia. Distinguished by vestigial first gnathopods that persist in post-transformational adult males, this is the second species in the genus to exhibit this unusual character. In other features such as coxae and second gnathopod...

In selecting a subject for a brief address upon the opening of the fifty-fourth session of the Epidemiological Society, I have naturally turned to the field which comes more directly under my own observation in connection with factory and workshop industries. Recognising the impossibility of any adequate review of industrial epidemics and endemics in the short time at my disposal, I propose to ...

Hemicyrthus blaffarti new species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) from the Parc Provincial de la Rivière Bleue in southern New Caledonia is described. It differs from the most similar species, H. elongatus, by the completely and sharply margined pronotal base, the presence of elytral micropunctures, shorter apical setae of the mesotibiae and meta-tibiae, and a different shape of the para...

Summary Common Myna Acridotheres tristis is considered to be among the world’s most damaging invasive species through disturbance, predation, competition pathogen introduction native birds and other taxa. Claimed impacts on have often been based anecdotal reports. More substantive evidence of interference with small-island endemic has reported, but rarely quantified or subjected experimental ma...

The causative virus of COVID-19 “SARS-COV2” is an upper respiratory tract pathogen and a member corona family, causes about 15 % influenza common cold infections annually. There are several types viruses that to human like orthomyxovirus type A, B, C. some may cause sever endemic flu orthomyxovirus-A, be simple do not spread endemics.

the land-locked country of afghanistan has a restricted but relatively diverse ichthyofauna comprising 85 species in 10 families. the fauna is dominated by cyprinidae (50 species) and other ostariophysans (28 species). eight species are endemics to afghanistan within its political boundaries. there are three principal drainage basins: the endorheic amu darya draining to the aral sea with 29 spe...

Two new ground beetle subspecies, Omphreus (Omphreus) moriosandelissp. n. (from Mts. Zelengora and Maglić, eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Omphreus (Omphreus) moriodurmitorensisssp. n. (from Mt. Durmitor, northwestern Montenegro) are here described and diagnosed. The male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The new taxa are distinctly different...

The recently erected phyllophorid genus Massinium Samyn & Thandar, 2003 hithertho held three species: the southern African endemics Massinium arthroprocessum (Thandar, 1989) and M. maculosum Samyn & Thandar, 2003 (type species), and the central Indo-Pacific M. magnum (Ludwig, 1882). Careful examination of the incomplete holotype of M. magnum and material assigned to this species from various mu...

Several expeditions in recent years to Isla del Coco have increased the total number of species of fishes known from the island. Several of these species have been described as new endemics (Bussing 1983, 1990, 1991a, 1991b, 1997). During the 1972 R/V Searcher Expedition to Costa Rica several trawl collections were made around Isla del Coco. At five localities in depths between 110 and 180m, 86...
