Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation of Castes and Sex in the Weaver Ant Camponotus textor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Cuticular hydrocarbons play important roles as chemical signatures of individuals, castes, sex and brood. They also can mediate the regulation of egg laying in ants, by informing directly or indirectly the reproductive status of queens. In this study we asked whether cuticular hydrocarbon profiles are correlated with castes and sex of Camponotus textor. Cuticular hydrocarbons were extracted from part of a mature colony (80 workers, 27 major workers, 27 queens, 27 virgin queens and 27 males). Results showed that cuticular hydrocarbons varied quantitatively and qualitatively among the groups and this variation was sufficiently strong to allow separation of castes and genders. We discuss the specificity of some compounds as possible regulatory compounds of worker tasks and reproduction in C. textor.

A redescription of Diogenes senex Heller, 1865, sensu stricto (Decapoda: Anomura: Paguridea: Diogenidae)

Diogenes senex Heller, 1865 sensu stricto is redescribed from specimens collected in Australia, particularly in and around the type locality of Sydney. A neotype has been designated. Comparisons of this material with other specimens identified as D. senex by a number of authors has shown that at present only the Australian material truly represents Heller's taxon.

El viejo, el amor y la hermosa como texto espectacular

Resumen: Inspirada por el Diálogo entre Amor y un viejo, de Rodrigo Cota, Interlocutores senex et amor mulierque pulcra forma es una muy interesante obra concebida para su puesta en escena; sin embargo, no posee acotación autoral alguna, lo que implica que el texto espectacular debe extraerse de la construcción semántica-formal de los signos verbales discursivos en voz de los personajes, que son los que comportan los requisitos necesarios de dramaticidad. A partir de estos signos analizaré varios aspectos contenidos en la estructura, que determino tripartita, de inicio, nudo y desenlace; por ejemplo, la actio (gestus, motus y vultus corporales), la pronuntiatio, la representación de los espacios ficcionales, y elementos obligados de caracterización. Comentaré, también, el espacio para la puesta; habré de aducir condicionantes culturales tanto para la caracterización (corporal y de indumentaria), como para los tipos de gestualidad que deben realizarse en escena (mediante el apoyo de preceptivas retóricas y obras iconográficas). No dejaré del lado la descodificación semántica asociada con todos los elementos referidos.

Results of the Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission 1970 of the 1st Zoological Institute of the University of Vienna (Austria) and the Department of Zoology of the University of Ceylon, Vidyalankara Campus, Kelaniya. Pt. 14. The freshwater crabs of the Ceylonese mountain rivers

The report deals with the material on freshwater crabs, collected by the Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission 1970 from the running waters of the mountains in south-west Ceylon. The locality records for Paratelphusa (Oziotelphusa) senex (Fabricius 1798) Paratelphusa (Ceylontelphusa) sorror (Zehntner 1894) and Paratelphusa (Ceylontelphusa) rugosa (Kingsley 1880), are described.
