Vaz-de-Mello1 & M. Cupello1, 2 Abstract Discussed and illustrated are the type specimens of the nine species names established by REDTENBACHER (1868) for South American dung beetle taxa: Canthon auricollis, C. cyanopterus, C. fulgidus, C. lampro- deres, C. ornatus, C. puncticollis, C. quadripunctatus, Choeridium foveicolle, and C. platymerum. Lecto- types are designated for all of them, and the following taxonomic conclusions are presented: firstly, it was seen that the name Canthon auricollis was previously misapplied to a species taxon in the Canthon subge- nus Peltecanthon, whereas in fact it represents a species of the subgenus Canthon s.str., where it is trans- ferred to; a former junior synonym of it, C. splendidus SCHMIDT, 1922, is revalidated to name the species of the subgenus Peltecanthon called by former authors "C. -
Emilio Bianchi” Launched
THE TENTH MULTIPURPOSE FRIGATE “EMILIO BIANCHI” LAUNCHED It is the last unit of the Italo-French FREMM program Trieste, January 25, 2020 – The launching ceremony of the “Emilio Bianchi” frigate, the tenth and last FREMM vessel – Multi Mission European Frigates, took place today at the integrated shipyard of Riva Trigoso (Genoa) in the presence of the Italian Minister of Defence, Lorenzo Guerini. The 10 vessels have been commissioned to Fincantieri by the Italian Navy within the framework of an Italo-French cooperation program under the coordination of OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur l’Armement, the international organization for cooperation on arms). Godmother of the ceremony was Mrs. Maria Elisabetta Bianchi, first daughter of Emilio Bianchi, Golden Medal for Military Value. For Fincantieri the President Giampiero Massolo welcome, on behalf of the Chief of Defence, General Enzo Vecciarelli, the Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the Governor of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti, in addition to a number of authorities. After the launching, fitting activities will continue in the integrated naval shipyard of Muggiano (La Spezia), with delivery scheduled in 2021. The “Emilio Bianchi” vessel, like the other units, will feature a high degree of flexibility, capable of operating in all tactical situations. 144 metres long with a beam of 19.7 metres, the ship will have a displacement at full load of approximately 6,700 tonnes. The vessel will have a maximum speed of over 27 knots and will have a maximum accommodation capacity for a 200-person crew. The FREMM program, representing the European and Italian defence state of the art, stems from the renewal need of the Italian Navy line “Lupo” (already removed) and “Maestrale” (some of them already decommissioned, the remaining close to the attainment of operational limit) class frigates, both built by Fincantieri in the 1970s. -

Conclusions and Future Prospects Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A brief summary of studies in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific and Polynesia is presented. Commencing with early studies in physical anthropology in the mid-nineteenth century, which included studies of living as well as prehistoric inhabitants of the Pacific, this survey focuses mainly on two topics: What studies of skeletons from the region have revealed about 1) the initial peopling of the Pacific and the origins of the Polynesians and 2) the health and lifestyle of past Pacific Islanders and Polynesians. Despite the limited number of studies in the physical anthropology of the Pacific and issues surrounding repatriation, a significant amount of information about the past inhabitants of this region continues to emerge from work involving human skeletons. 1. Introduction This chapter summarizes previous work in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific. Although evidence from other areas in physical anthropology (e.g., genetic and dental studies) is included, the major focus will be what studies of human skeletons and teeth reveal about the origins, health, and lifestyle of the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific, particularly Polynesians. -

La Grande Guerra Lontana Dalle Trincee: La Questione Adriatica Dentro Il Conflitto Militare
L'IDOMENEO Idomeneo (2018), n. 26, 115-134 ISSN 2038-0313 DOI 10.1285/i20380313v26p115 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2018 Università del Salento La Grande Guerra lontana dalle trincee: la questione adriatica dentro il conflitto militare Giuseppe Orlando D’Urso* Abstract. The control of the sea routes became urgent during the Great War because in the Mediterranean sea sailed English and French ships which, besides transporting goods and weapons, moved troops from colonial areas. In the northern area of the Adriatic, sheltered among the rocky coasts and the closed gulf of Cattaro, was installed the Austro-Hungarian fleet that through the Channel of Otranto reached the open sea and with the help of the submarines threatened the navigation of the Triple Entente. The control of the Channel of Otranto became therefore a priority. The neutrality position that Italy had assumed showed soon its uselessness because it would have meant staying out of the games and being crushed among the other great powers of Europe. The young Italian Royal Navy felt the urgency of opposing the dominance exercised in the Adriatic sea by the Austro-Hungarian and since 1909 it had elaborated military plans for the control of those coasts. The declaration of war of May 24th 1915 didn’t caught the Royal Navy completely unprepared and with the collaboration of the Allies prepared a barrier line at the entrance to the Channel of Otranto that, despite some deficiencies, opposed the Austro- Hungarian war activities and not a few were the naval battles recorded in the Adriatic sea. Riassunto. Il controllo delle tratte marittime divenne impellente nel corso della Grande Guerra poiché nel Mediterraneo transitavano navi inglesi e francesi che, oltre a trasportare merci e armi, spostavano truppe dalle aree coloniali. -

Battle of Cape Matapan HMS AJAX and the Battle of Cape Matapan
Battle of Cape Matapan HMS AJAX and the Battle of Cape Matapan: 28th – 29th March 1941 By Clive Sharplin (Associate Member) The sea fight of the Second World War known as the “Battle of Matapan” was actually the second of that name to occur in naval history. The first occurred on 19th July 1717 when a mixed force of fifty-seven ships and galleys, Spanish, Portuguese, Venetian and Papal were attacked off Cape Matapan by a Turkish squadron of about the same size. After a fierce fight with losses on both sides the Turks withdrew. The ship HMS Ajax was a Leander Class light cruiser, the seventh ship to bear the name, relatively young having been launched in 1934, first commissioned in 1935. Displacing 9,563tons fully laden, her main armament consisted of 8 x 6”guns mounted in pairs over four turrets with 8 x 21 “ torpedo tubes in two quadruple mountings, steam turbine driven, with a wartime crew of 680. After participating in the first major sea battle of the second World War, the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939 and defeating the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee she returned to Chatham Dockyard for a 7 month long repair and refit during which my Father, Bob, joined her on 10th February 1940 as a Petty Officer Mechanician, he was to be a crew member for more` than a year until September 1941 when he was drafted to the battleship Valiant, thus enduring one of the Royal Navy’s most hostile periods. Ajax emerged back into the fleet on September 30th 1940 being deployed to the 7th Cruiser Squadron in the Mediterranean. -

Dina Gusejnova illustrates how a supranational European mentality was forged from depleted imperial identities. In the revolutions of 1917–1920, the power of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg, and Romanoff dynasties over their subjects expired. Even though Germany lost its credit as a world power twice in that century, in the global cultural memory, the old Germanic families remained associated with the idea of Europe in areas reaching from Mexico to the Baltic region and India. Gusejnova’s book sheds light on a group of German-speaking intellectuals of aristocratic origin who became pioneers of Europe’s future regeneration. In the minds of transnational elites, the continent’s future horizons retained the con- tours of phantom empires.

China at the Gates: a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations
CHINA AT THE GATES: A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.
