A new species of the predatory mite family Caeculidae, N. orientalis sp. nov., is described and illustrated, based on adult and all active immature instars from moss and forest litter of various localities in Thailand. Neocaeculus orientalis sp. nov. differs from its congeners in uniquely having the adult femur I divided but femora II-IV entire, adult coxal setation of 5-1-2-1 (4a excluded), an...

A newly isolated thermotolerant ethanologenic yeast strain, Issatchenkia orientalis IPE 100, was able to produce ethanol with a theoretical yield of 85% per g of glucose at 42°C. Ethanol production was inhibited by furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural and vanillin concentrations above 5.56 gL(-1), 7.81 gL(-1), and 3.17 gL(-1), respectively, but the strain was able to produce ethanol from enzymatical...

The observations of homogeneous, intracellular inclusion bodies in association with Rickettsia orientalis were made during an investigation of scrub typhus in Imphal in 1945 and were submitted in reports to GHQ(I). Twenty-five strains of R orientalis were isolated from different sources. Similar observations have been made by Giroud and Panthier (1942) and Begg and others (1944) in association ...

This study, related to emergence of the cetoniid beetle, Chiloloba orientalis D and R (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), was conducted annually from August to the middle of October from 2007 to 2010 in maize (Zea mays L. (Poales: Poaceae)), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), and grass (Hetropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. and Schult., Apluda mutica L.) cultivated fields in a se...

The water scavenger beetle genus Cymbiodyta Bedel contains 30 species (Jia & Short 2010, Short & Fikáček 2011), most of which are distributed in North America. Only one species (Cymbiodyta orientalis Jia & Short, 2010) has been described since the worldwide revision of the genus by Smetana (1974). This taxon was the second species of the genus known from the Old World and the first species know...

The identity of snakehead fishes (Perciformes: Channidae) in India, particularly species belonging to Channa gachua complex remains to be confusing due to clubbing of a number of species under the synonymy of Channa orientalis Bloch and Schneider by several authors including Talwar and Jhingran (1991), Jayaram (1999) and Menon (1999) as well. Courtenay and Williams (2004) considered most of the...

Moniliformis moniliformis-infected Periplaneta australasiae and Blatta orientalis were less active than uninfected controls in behavioral arena tests under both red and white light regimes. There was a strong interaction between light regime and parasitism for substrate use by P. australasiae. Under red light, parasitism decreased the use of black horizontal surfaces, whereas under white light,...

Paradistomoidella cerberi n.g., n.sp. and Paracanthostomum cerberi from Cerberus rhynchops, Xenopharynx pyriformis and Allopharynx mehrai from Ptyas korros, Neopronocephalus orientalis from Geoemyda spinosa, and Duthiersia expansa from Varanus salvator are all reported from the area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Paradistomoidella cerberi most closely resembles members of Paradistomoides but is cha...

Alima pacifica and A. orientalis are stomatopods commonly found at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. There are currently no descriptions that link the larvae to the adult morphotype despite the frequent occurrence of the last larval stage of these two species. We used DNA barcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene to link the last stage larvae of A. pacifica and A. orientalis ...
