A new species of Callistethus from Mexico (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae, Rutelinae)

Callistethus tlapanecus, a new species collected in pine forest located at 2160 meters of altitude in eastern mountains of the state of Guerrero, Mexico is described. The morphological characters that distinguish it from other Mexican and Central American species are discussed. The diagnostic characters are illustrated, and a key to Mexican species of Callistethus is also included.

The role of Mexico in the first oil shortage: 1918-1922, an international perspective

In 1921 Mexico produced a quarter of world s petroleum, making the country the secondlargest producer in the world, but by 1930 it only accounted for 3 per cent of world sproduction. To date the discussion has mostly relied on events taking place in Mexico forexplaining the decline of the industry. Very little attention has been placed todevelopments in petroleum industry elsewhere, except Venezuela. Practically noattention has been paid to the reasons for the rise of oil output in Mexico. This neglectsthe massive changes taking place in the petroleum industry worldwide during the GreatWar years and its aftermath, and overall ignores the shortage of oil that occurred in theworld s markets between 1918-1921. These are crucial events in order to understand theearly rise of the Mexican oil industry and set the basis for a better understanding of thesubsequent sudden decline.

António Nóvoa, Marc Depaepe, Erwin V. Johanningmeir e Diana Soto Arango (Eds.) (1996) Para uma história da educação colonial Hacia una historia de la educación colonial

A obra é composta por três partes: a primeira parte sobre “Ideologias das colonizações e acção educativa”; a segunda parte sobre “Processos de independência e acção educativa” e a terceira aborda a temática “A educação e o outro”. António Nóvoa apresenta a obra, resultante de comunicações, em português e castelhano, seleccionadas no 15º Congresso Internacional de História da Educação (Lisboa, 1993), dedicado ao tema “A educação no encontro dos povos e das culturas: a experiência colonial (séculos XVI-XX)”, que inicia com intervenções proferidas, na sessão inaugural, pelo Profs. José V. de Pina Martins e Joaquim Ferreira Gomes.

Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania Kristensen & Nielsen (Lepidoptera, Heterobathmiidae): identificación basada en DNA-barcoding y notas morfológicas e historia de vida de los estados inmaduros

Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania Kristensen & Nielsen (Lepidoptera, Heterobathmiidae): identification based on DNA-barcoding and notes on the morphology and life history of the immature stages. The larva morphology of the species Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania (Lepidoptera, Heterobathmiidae), a Nothofagus obliqua leafminer in Chile, is described. The tissue-feeding first and last instars are described. Also, the number of larval stages, some aspects of the biology and life cycle of the species are provided.

Description of the third instar larvae of five species of Cyclocephala (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae, Dynastinae) from Mexico

Description of the third instar larvae of five species of Cyclocephala (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae, Dynastinae) from Mexico. Larvae of four species of Cyclocephala are described for the first time based on specimens collected in Mexican localities: C. barrerai Martínez, 1969 from Puebla, C. sinaloae Howden & Endrödi, 1966 from Sinaloa, C. fasciolata Bates, 1888 from Veracruz, and C. jalapensis Casey, 1915 from Hidalgo. Larva of C. lunulata Burmeister, 1847, is redescribed based on specimens from the Mexican states of Morelos, Puebla, and Veracruz. Diagnostic structures are illustrated and the differences and similarities of each species with other previously described larvae of the genus are commented.

An unusual food plant for Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in Mexico

An unusual food plant for Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in Mexico. Larvae of Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) were discovered on floral cones of Magnolia schiedeana (Schltdl, 1864) near the natural reserve of La Martinica, Veracruz, México. Magnolia represents an unusual host for this moth species, which is known throughout the world as the "codling moth", a serious pest of fruits of Rosaceae, especially apples. The larvae were identified using taxonomic keys, and identification was corroborated using molecular markers. Further sampling resulted in no additional larvae, hence, the observation was probably that of an ovipositional error by the female, and M. schiedeana is not at risk of attack by this important moth pest.

Historia de Altobello e di Re Troiano suo fratelo

[Altobello (italien). 1476]

La familia entre la antropología y la historia

En este artículo el autor examina las limitaciones conceptuales del estudio de la familia y el parentesco que normalmente han sostenido los historiadores y los antropólogos. La mayoría de los supuestos de los dos tipos de estudios se pueden encontrar en los prejuicios culturales que pueden cuestionar el objeto comparativo de estas teorías. Revisando los problemas surgidos en los análisis de los grupos domésticos y los culturales de parentesco, el autor intenta mostrar que el estudio de familia debería abandonar el espacio del parentesco y analizar el problema de la reproducción social.

Los catálogos e inventarios en la historia del libro y de las bibliotecas

[eng] After first analysing the definitions of catalogue and inventory, the article highlights differences between the two and reviews the use of both terms throughout history. Likewise, it emphasises the importance of delving into the history of the book and of libraries from the perspectives of different disciplines, such as History of written culture. Taking as an example the inventory of the Convent library of the Order of Mercy of Barcelona, an outline of work is suggested based on the study of catalogues and inventories from the point of view of Library sciences
