Review of the Brazilian harvestman genus Roeweria Mello-Leitao, 1923 (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)

The genus Roeweria Mello-Leitao, 1923 is revised and a variation on external morphological characters and male genitalia is presented for Roeweria virescens (Mello-Leitao, 1923). The monotypic genus Harpachylus Roewer, 1943 is a junior synonym of Roeweria Mello-Leitao, 1923 because its type-species, H. tibialis Roewer, 1943 is a junior synonym of the type-species Roeweria bittencourti Mello-Leitao, 1923. Roeweria garrincha sp. n. from Cananeia, Sao Paulo, Brazil, is described and can be distinguished from other members of the genus by the presence of a ventral process on the penis and by very large ventral apophyses on the apex of the male femur and patella IV.

Pathological Love: Impulsivity, Personality, and Romantic Relationship

Introduction: Pathological love (PL)-behavior characterized by providing repetitive and uncontrolled care and attention to the partner in a romantic relationship-is a rarely studied condition, despite not being rare and causing suffering. This study aims at investigating impulsivity, personality, and characteristics related to the romantic relationship in this population. Methods: Eighty-nine individuals (50 with PL; 39 individuals with no psychiatric disorder) were compared regarding impulsivity, personality, type of attachment, satisfaction with romantic relationship, and love style. Results: Individuals with PL have higher levels of impulsivity (P<.001; Barratt Impulsiveness Scale), higher self-transcendence, that is, are more unconventional and hold sense of communjon with a widerreality (P<.001; Temperament and Character Inventory) and keep dissatisfactory romantic relationships (P<.001; Adapted Relationship Assessment Scale). Conclusion: Individuals with PL present personality traits and relationship aspects that must be taken into account in devising assessment and therapeutic strategies for this population.

Idéias e fatos na entrevista de Afonso Arinos de Mello Franco

Este texto tem por objeto o conjunto de entrevistas concedidas por Afonso Arinos de Mello Franco ao Programa de História Oral do CPDOC entre setembro de 1982 e outubro de 1983, com um total de 26h 40m de gravação. As entrevistas foram realizadas por Aspásia Camargo e Maria Clara Mariani e contaram com a participação especial de Pedro Nava (na entrevista de 27.9.1982) e dos jornalistas Carlos Castelo Branco, Fernando Pedreira e Otto Lara Resende (na mesa-redonda de 8.2.1983). O objetivo imediato desta série de entrevistas foi sua transformação em livro: ainda em 1983, o CPDOC publicava, em conjunto com o Senado Federal e a Editora Dom Quixote, o livro O intelectual e o político: encontros com Afonso Arinos, cuja primeira parte é o resultado do trabalho de edição das entrevistas gravadas.

Tetanorhynchus leonardosi (Mello-Leitão) (Orthoptera: Proscopiidae), nova praga em eucaliptos

We report for the first time the attack of the walking stick Tetanorhynchus leonardosi (Mello-Leitão) (Orthoptera: Proscopiidae) on young eucalyptus, Eucalyptus urophylla, in Brazil. The upper third of the trees was attacked (apical meristems and new leaves). During the hottest hours of the day the insects were found sheltered between leaves on the median third of the plants, and feeding when temperatures were milder. The attack was heterogeneous in the stand, being more concentrated when it was neighbouring an area of native 'Cerrado' vegetation. Mean defoliation was 5.8%, with an average of 5.2% of plants with apical meristems cut by the walking sticks. An application of Methyl Parathion was not effective against the pest. Apparently plants older than 6 months were less attacked by the insects, that preferred 3-month old trees. The reduction of native vegetation may explain the dispersion of T. leonardosi from its native host plants to the exotic eucalyptus.
