  • Dominican Republic 03 Jun 2021
    CORRESPONDENT'S ADVICE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 03 JUN 2021 Coronavirus, COVID-19 The following information was received from our correspondent on 3 June: QUOTE To keep you and members informed on the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the Dominican Republic, kindly find attached the Decree 349-21, issued by the President of the Dominican Republic, in order to modify the curfew and the other social distancing measures established within the framework of the state of emergency declared to combat COVID-19. A free translation of the decree is also attached. Authorities in the Dominican Republic have issued orders lengthening curfew hours in the National District, as well as in 24 of the nation's 31 provinces, June 2-9, due to elevated COVID-19 activity in the affected jurisdictions, such as the provinces of Santo Domingo, National District, La Romana, Barahona, Monte Cristi, Pedernales and Azua. New curfew hours will run 6:00 PM to 05:00 A.M. on Monday through Friday, and 3:00 PM to 05:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Individuals needing to return to their accommodations or residences will be accorded a three-hour grace period in order to do so. Provinces not affected by the new curfew hours are Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia, La Vega, Samana, Santiago, and Puerto Plata. In these seven jurisdictions, the previously imposed curfew hours of 22:00-05:00 on weekdays and 21:00-05:00 on weekends will remain in effect, with the grace period for individuals to return to their residences extending until 00:01 nightly. The aforementioned Decree establishes a special vaccination day from Thursday, June 3, 2021, until Sunday, June 6, 2021, in the provinces of Santo Domingo and San Cristóbal, as ones of the provinces more affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Dominican Republic.

    Journal of Neuropterology 3: 9-23,2000 (2001) Annotated List of the Neuroptera of Hispaniola, with New Faunistic Records of Some Species D. E. PCrez-Gelabert (1) and 0. S. Flint Jr. (2) (1) 5714 Ridgway Ave., Rockville, MD 20851, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] (2) National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560-0105, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Neuroptera, Ascalaphids, Lacewings, Antlions, Dominican Republic, Haiti, New records. SUMMARY An annotated list and some new faunistic records of Hispaniolan Neuroptera are presented, based on literature records and specimens in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. and the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. Seventeen species are newly recorded here for the island. Fifty-two extant species within 26 genera are known to us. Additionally, three fossil species and four other genera of Neuroptera have been reported from Dominican amber. We provide synonymic, type and distribution data for each species that should enhance the comprehensive characterization of this group in Hispaniola. INTRODUCTION The Hispaniolan fauna of Neuroptera has been the subject of only haphazard studies by visiting collectors and entomologists. It appears that a significant number of species still remain to be discovered on the island. Systematic studies on Neotropical Neuroptera have been hindered by the unsettled taxonomic state of several families, making it difficult to be confident about the identity or status of particular taxa. Locally, lack of tradition in faunistic studies and the paucity of research collections necessary for comparative studies have also discouraged work on this group.
