Nowadays, the intranasal route has become a reliable alternative for drug administration to systemic circulation or central nervous system. However, there are no official in vitro diffusion and dissolution tests especially investigation of nasal formulations. Our main goal was study compare well-known lesser-known permeability method, order ascertain which suitable determination through mucosa ...

All Australian species previously placed in Horaeomorphus Schaufuss are revised. None of them was found to belong to this predominantly Oriental genus. Four new genera are established to accommodate these species: Leascydmus gen. n. for Scydmaenus simplicicornis Lea; Scydmaenozila gen. n. for Phagonophana macrosticta Lea (type species) and Phagonophana latipennis Lea; Spinosciacharis gen. n. fo...

Neotropical Scydmaeninae Archiconnus Franz and Parapseudoconnus Franz (with two subgenera) are re-defined and details of their morphology are illustrated. Archiconnus mexicanus Franz is placed in a separate genus Mexiconnus gen. nov. (resulting in a new combination Mexiconnus mexicanus (Franz)). The current division of Parapseudoconnus into the nominotypical subgenus and a subgenus Neuraphornim...

The Neotropical genus Alloraphes Franz belonging to the tribe Cyrtoscydmini is revised. Alloraphes is redefined based on a detailed morphological study, and Parastenichnaphes myrmecophilus (Franz) is transferred back to Alloraphes, where it was originally placed. Alloraphes jamaicae Franz, A. peruanus Franz, A. lenkoi Franz, A. yucatani Franz, A. chiapasensis Franz and A. myrmecophilus Franz, s...

Neotropical ant-like stone beetle genera Microraphes Franz, Heteroscydmus Franz and Mimoscydmus Franz are revised. Microraphespygmaeus Franz, Heteroscydmus yapacariensis Franz and Mimoscydmus brasiliensis Franz are redescribed; Mimoscydmus baruerii Franz is transferred to a new genus Amimoscydmus gen. nov., resulting in Amimoscydmus baruerii (Franz) comb. nov. Together with the large genus Micr...

Afroeudesis Franz and Oreoeudesis Franz, Afrotropical subgenera of Pseudoeudesis Binaghi (Scydmaenini), are elevated to the genus rank and transferred to Cyrtoscydmini. The East Palaearctic genus Nanoscydmus Jałoszyński is reduced to a subgenus of Afroeudesis stat. n., resulting in Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) baoshanus (Jałoszyński), comb. n. and Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) nepalensis (Jałoszyński)...

Genera Stenichnus and Scydmoraphes are distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, with a few rather peculiar species described from South America. Type series of Stenichnus andicola Franz, Scydmoraphes venezolanus Franz and Scydmoraphes peruanus Franz were examined and the first of these species is transferred to Sciacharis Broun, while two new generic names are established to accommodate the two ...

Subgenera of the speciose ant-like stone beetle genus Stenichnus Thomson are revised. The genus is re-classified and only two subgenera are retained: Stenichnus s. str. and Scydmaenichnus Reitter. Two remaining subgenera, Austrostenichnus Franz and Scydmaenilla King, are elevated to the genus rank (the status of Scydmaenilla, originally described as a genus and later reduced to a subgenus of St...

Müller ( Institute of Laboratory Diagnostics, Kaiser Franz Josef Hospital, Vienna, Austria; 2 Institute of Sports Science, Department of Sports and Exercise Physiology, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria; 3 Ludwig Bol...

The entangled history of Sciacharis Broun, 1983, a genus in which nearly 240 species were placed by Herbert Franz who has apparently never studied its type species, was recently summarized by Jałoszyński (2014a, b). A synonymy of Chatchamaenus Franz with Sciacharis s. str. was demonstrated, and Maorinus Franz, 1980 was placed as a subgenus of Sciacharis (Jałoszyński 2014a). Still, the systemati...
