Seven new species of the genus Pseudostegana (Diptera: Drosophilidae) from South-west China,with DNA barcoding information

Seven new species of the genus Pseudostegana are discovered from South China: P. latiapicula sp. nov., P. nannanae sp. nov., P. bingxueae sp. nov., P. husaensis sp. nov., P. linyongi sp. nov., P. montipagana sp. nov., and P. sigangli sp. nov.; the first two new species belong to the P. latiparma species group, and the rest belong to the P. zonaria species group. The DNA sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene with BOLD Process ID and GenBank accession numbers are provided for the seven new species and 10 known species from southern China: P. acutifoliolata Li, Gao and Chen, 2010; P. angustifasciata Chen and Wang, 2005, P. bifasciata Chen, Toda and Wang, 2005, P. bilobata Li, Gao and Chen, 2010; P. insularis Li, Gao and Chen, 2010; P. latifasciata Chen, Toda and Wang, 2005, P. minutipalpata; P. nitidifrons Chen and Wang, 2005, P. pallidemaculata Chen and Wang, 2005 and P. silvana. Intra- and interspecific pairwise Kimura’s two-parameter (K2P) distances among these species are summarised. www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C01D7920-61AD-4651-8861-9D76C3CD86F6     

Carton nest building and trophobiont manipulation in the south-east Asian ant Dolichoderus sulcaticeps (Mayr 1870) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Dolichoderus sulcaticeps, a rare canopy living dolichoderine ant, was studied in the rainforest of Malaysia. It forms large polycalyc colonies comprising partial nests on trees and climbers. The three dimensional multichambered partial nests are situated on the leaf underside. Fibrous nest material is gathered from the surface of the nesting plants and soaked with water from the plant surface. Building activity, therefore, is strictly dependent on the presence of rainfall or dew. Within the cell with plant leaf surface contact, as well as on free feeding sites, non specific coccid and membracid throphobionts, are tended. Free feeding sites are permanently protected. Mealybugs are transported between existing and new free feeding sites, as well as to and from nest pavilions, especially during their construction or destruction. Prey hunting has not been observed in D. sulcaticeps. The workers, however, recruit to offered dead prey, and scavenged. During the day they were permanently on the surface of plants around their nests and feeding sites.     

Stegana castanea species group (Diptera,Drosophilidae) from the Oriental region

The Stegana castanea species group is established as a morphological group within the subgenus Steganina, based on two known and six new species from the Oriental region: Stegana (Steganina) bacilla Chen and Aotsuka, 2004 Chen, HW and Aotsuka, T. 2004. A survey of the genus Stegana Meigen from southern Japan (Diptera, Drosophilidae). J Nat Hist., 38: 2779–2788. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; S. castanea Okada, 1988 Okada, T. 1988. Family Drosophilidae (Diptera) from the Lund University Ceylon Expedition in 1962 and Borneo collections in 1978–1979. Entomol Scand (suppl)., 30: 109–149.  [Google Scholar]; S. (S.) reni sp. nov.; S. (S.) tiani sp. nov.; S. (S.) tongi sp. nov.; S. (S.) wangi sp. nov., S. (S.) weiqiuzhangi sp. nov. and S. (S.) xui sp. nov. from southern China. A key to all the species of this group is provided.     

A new species of Notostrix (Acari: Eriophyidae), with notes on the host plants and distribution of species of this genus

Thirteen Notostrix Keifer species are presently known, all from leaves of palm trees (Arecaceae) to which they seemingly cause no major damage. A new species of this genus, Notostrix macrothrix sp. nov., is morphologically described based on adult females and males collected from coconut, Cocos nucifera L. (Arecaceae), on La Reunión Island. A discussion about the presently known distribution of mites of this genus is also presented. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:14C65CB2-AF56-4D85-AD49-56FA11119EF5     

Moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) with description of a new genus from Cangshan,China

The world diversity of moss cushion-inhabiting and moss-feeding flea beetles is documented and discussed. A new genus (Cangshanaltica) with a single new species (Cangshanaltica nigra sp. nov.) from Yunnan Province in China is described and illustrated. It is similar to Benedictus Scherer, Ivalia Jacoby, Minota Weise, Paraminota Scherer, and Phaelota Jacoby. An identification key for all flea beetle genera known to occur in mosses in the eastern hemisphere is provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6341724E-BA3F-4979-B226-108D0CA64B92     

美国重返亚洲战略下的中国对外政策调整

当前,全球经济复苏问题凸显,亚洲作为世界经济新的引擎,出现整体性复兴的迹象。在新的国际局势下,积极寻找经济复苏途径、重塑美国领导形象的奥巴马政府与以和平发展为目标的复兴中的最大发展中国家中国的关系,就不仅仅是中美的双边关系,或是亚太区域的国家关系,而是涉及到全球政治战略、经济秩序、安全生态的大国关系。奥巴马上任不久,就提出美国会提高对亚太区域的关注,随后,美国重返亚洲成为国际社会热议的话题。

亚洲夏季风区大气能量谱分析

用1979年FGGE—Ⅲb资料,对亚洲及其邻域的总能量、大气显热源和水汽汇进行谱分析.结果表明:准40天振荡是亚洲夏季风区的主要特征振荡.振荡方差贡献的分布以及振荡源中心位置反映出在印度、孟加拉湾、南海和东亚大陆上空夏季风系统具有一定的独立性。长江以北地区主要受中纬度系统影响,华南沿海和云贵地区则分别受南海和孟加拉湾地区夏季风系统的影响.振荡从主要振荡源向外传播,东亚季风区振荡主要从东南向西北传播.总能量和水汽汇振荡的传播还表明,从南半球有明显的向北传播通道.这些通道与越赤道气流通道大致相对应.大气显热源的振荡则无此特征,但它对大气环流准定常状态的维持有一定的影响,孟加拉湾湾头和南海既是热源中心,亦为准双周振荡的源区.     

“9·11”后美国中亚政策的调整及其影响

"9·11"后美国鉴于中亚的战略地位以及全球战略,全方位调整了中亚政策,分析其中亚政策调整的目标及实施手段,可以看出它给中亚各国带来了一定的积极影响,但也给中亚地区以及周边大国包括俄罗斯和中国带来了一定的负面影响。     

新疆西天山西段金铜成矿带——中亚成矿域东延

新疆西天山西段位于哈萨克斯坦 -伊犁板块的东南部边缘 ,包括伊犁石炭纪裂谷、那拉提地块、哈尔克早古生代被动陆缘褶皱带。主要已知矿床 (点 )按其容矿围岩可分为镁铁 -超镁铁岩型、斑岩型、花岗岩型、矽卡岩型、陆相火山岩型、陆相沉积岩型、浅变质含碳碎屑岩型。根据区内成矿地质条件、矿化特征 ,区内以找金矿主 ,兼顾铜镍矿等。金矿以穆龙套型和火山岩型金矿为主 ,同时注意卡林型和中 -酸性侵入岩内外接触带型 ;铜矿以镁铁 -超镁铁岩型和火山岩型为主。地质与成矿条件与中亚成矿域具有可比性 ,因此 ,新疆西天山西段金铜成矿带应为中亚成矿域东延部分
