Revisão de grupo E. rufomarginata do gênero Edessa fabricius, 1803 (Heteroptera pentatomidae, Edessinae)

O gênero Edessa Fabricius, 1803 pertence à subfamília Edessinae de Pentatomidae e possui um grande número de espécies já descritas (259), sendo provavelmente o maior de Heteroptera e um dos menos estudados desta família. Neste trabalho foi revisado o grupo denominado Edessa rufomarginata com base em caracteres morfológicos, principalmente da genitália de ambos os sexos. Para análise cladística do grupo foi montada uma matriz de dados com 25 caracteres da morfologia geral e da genitália. A polarização dos caracteres foi realizada através do método de comparação com grupo externo. Para análise dos dados obtidos foi utilizado o programa Hennig86, os algoritimos empregados foram “ie*” e “ne”, sendo que como interface gráfica com Windows®, foi utilizado o programa Tree Gardener V.2.2. A metodologia empregada propiciou o estudo das variações morfológicas em Edessa rufomarginata (De Geer, 1773), o que resultou na revalidação de Edessa marginalis (Dallas, 1951) e Edessa albomarginatus (Stål, 1855). Estas espécies foram redescritas bem como outras cinco a saber: Edessa abdominalis Erichson, 1848; Edessa corallipes Erichson, 1848; Edessa aulacosterna Stål, 1872; Edessa ovalis Stål, 1872 e Edessa nigropunctata Berg, 1884. Sete novas espécies foram descritas: Edessa brasiliensis sp. nov., Edessa castaneolineata sp. nov., Edessa cerradensis sp. nov., Edessa chapadensis sp. nov., Edessa luteovenulata sp. nov., Edessa rufodorsata sp. nov. e Edessa viridisdorsata sp. nov. Na análise cladística um único cladograma foi obtido, com 45 passos; Índice de Consistência = 60 e Índice de Retenção = 80; a monofilia do grupo foi corroborada por sete sinapomorfias.

Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) food habits in a mosaic of Atlantic Rainforest and eucalypt plantations of southeastern Brazil

Food habits of jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) (Geoffroy, 1803) (Carnivora, Felidae) were studied between November 2000 and November 2001, in a 24.9 km² area of secondary Atlantic Rainforest and eucalypt plantation, in the Serra de Paranapiacaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. Analyses of 26 fecal and regurgitate samples, obtained over a stretch of 570.1 km, showed the consumption of 19 prey items and 74 prey occurrences. Small mammals were the most frequent food item (42.5%), followed by birds (21%), reptiles (14%) and medium-sized mammals (3%). The percent occurrence (PO) suggests that the diet consisted mainly of small rodents (30%) and birds (21%). We recorded for the first time the predation of Viperidae snakes by P. yagouaroundi. Although having a large list of items and range of dietary niche breadths (Bsta = 0.76), our data show that jaguarundi prey mainly on small vertebrates (mammals, birds or reptiles), and even in tall tropical forests or eucalypt plantations, it preys mostly on animals that come to, or live on, the ground.

A new species of Pimelodus La Cépède, 1803 (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) from rio Ribeira de Iguape basin, Brazil

Pimelodus multicratifer, a new species, is described from the rio Ribeira de Iguape basin. The new species differs from the other Pimelodus species by the following features: 26 to 30 gill rakers on the first branchial arch; a combination of three to six rows of dark spots regularly or irregularly scattered on the flanks and several small dark spots irregularly scattered on the dorsal surface of head, supraoccipital process, and sometimes on the dorsal and caudal fins; striated lips; maxillary barbels reaching between posterior tip of the pelvic-fin rays and posterior tip of the middle caudal-fin rays.

The word "Aber" is Britton (Breton) for a "fjord"-like estuary. Located on the Channel, the region "Pays des Abers" includes several deep incisions in the coastlines. The best known ‘‘Abers’’ are the Aber Wrac’h and Aber Benoit in the Pays du Léon, Finistere Nord.

Modelling the distribution of stamp paper thickness via finite normal mixtures: The 1872 Hidalgo stamp issue of Mexico revisited

Izenman and Sommer (1988) used a non-parametric Kernel density estimation technique to fit a seven-component model to the paper thickness of the 1872 Hidalgo stamp issue of Mexico. They observed an apparent conflict when fitting a normal mixture model with three components with unequal variances. This conflict is examined further by investigating the most appropriate number of components when fitting a normal mixture of components with equal variances.
