From 1912 to 1916 he was assistant pro fessor of landscape art and in June T916 was promoted to a professor ship in that subject. In 1922 he became professor of landscape architecture and held that position until his death. F. H. Hall, Associate in Research in the Division of Horticulture of the New York State Experiment Station at Geneva, died October 18, 1929. Earl C. Smith, Instructor in English, died April 1, 1930. The Trustees Horace White was appointed by the Governor to succeed himself as trustee for a term of five years. C. H. Baldwin was elected President of the New York State Agri cultural Society in January in succession to Mr. Witter and thus became an ex-officio trustee of the University. H. E.

  • Notes on the Development of the Linguistic Society of America 1924 To
    NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1924 TO 1950 MARTIN JOOS for JENNIE MAE JOOS FORE\\ORO It is important for the reader of this document to know how it came to be written and what function it is intended to serve. In the early 1970s, when the Executive Committee and the Committee on Pub1ications of the linguistic Society of America v.ere planning for the observance of its Golden Anniversary, they decided to sponsor the preparation of a history of the Society's first fifty years, to be published as part of the celebration. The task was entrusted to the three living Secretaries, J M. Cowan{who had served from 1940 to 1950), Archibald A. Hill {1951-1969), and Thomas A. Sebeok {1970-1973). Each was asked to survey the period of his tenure; in addition, Cowan,who had learned the craft of the office from the Society's first Secretary, Roland G. Kent {deceased 1952),was to cover Kent's period of service. At the time, CO'flal'\was just embarking on a new career. He therefore asked his close friend Martin Joos to take on his share of the task, and to that end gave Joos all his files. Joos then did the bulk of the research and writing, but the~ conferred repeatedly, Cowansupplying information to which Joos v.t>uldnot otherwise have had access. Joos and HiU completed their assignments in time for the planned publication, but Sebeok, burdened with other responsibilities, was unable to do so. Since the Society did not wish to bring out an incomplete history, the project was suspended.

The taxonomy of this lineage has been the subject of several recent, intensive efforts, but the lineage lacked a robust phylogeny. In this paper we present a new phylogeny, based on increased taxonomic sampling and data from six molecular markers (mitochondrial 16S and COI, and nuclear markers 28S, RPS23, CAD, and AM2), the latter used for the first time in phylogenetic reconstruction. Our intent is to provide a robust phylogeny that will stabilize and facilitate revision of the higher-level classification. We also show the continued utility of molecular motifs, especially the presence of an intron in the RPS23 fragments of certain taxa, to diagnose evaniid clades and assist with taxonomic classification.

  • (Hymenoptera: Othniodellithidae, Aulacidae), with a Summary of Family-Group Names Among Evanioidea
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3871, 28 pp. January 27, 2017 New Evanioid Wasps from the Cenomanian of Myanmar (Hymenoptera: Othniodellithidae, Aulacidae), with a Summary of Family-Group Names among Evanioidea MICHAEL S. ENGEL1 ABSTRACT Three new evanioid wasps (Euhymenoptera: Evanioidea) are described and figured from individuals preserved in mid-Cretaceous (earliest Cenomanian) amber from northern Myan- mar. The new species represent the families Othniodellithidae and Aulacidae, both previously recorded from Burmese amber. Xenodellitha preta, new genus and species, is the second oth- niodellithid wasp and the diagnosis of the family is slightly emended in order to accommodate this species. The subfamily Hyptiogastritinae (Aulacidae) is expanded to include Protofoenus Cockerell and a third genus from Burmese amber. Archeofoenus tartaricus, new genus and spe- cies, is the third known species of the extinct aulacid subfamily Hyptiogastritinae, differing from Hyptiogastrites electrinus Cockerell in the low position of the discal cell and the open subdiscal cell in the forewing, and from Protofoenus swinhoei Cockerell in the form of the head and mandible, coloration, and forewing venational details. Together, Archeofoenus and Proto- foenus are placed in Archeofoenini, new tribe. The last species is similar to the genus Electro- foenus Cockerell, and together they are classified in Electrofoenini among the Aulacidae. Electrofoenops diminuta, new genus and species, is distinguished from Electrofoenus on the basis of wing venation. The significance of these taxa is briefly discussed and a summary of available family-group names among Evanioidea is appended. 1 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History; and Division of Entomology, Natu- ral History Museum, and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence.

Abstract: A new species, belonging to the recently revised Pristaulacus comptipennis species-group, P. harisi Turrisi, sp. nov. from Laos (Ventiane Province, Ban Van Eue) is described, illustrated and compared with most related species. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Aulacidae, Pristaulacus harisi, new species, Laos. Introduction Aulacidae comprises 242 extant species belonging to two genera (TURRISI et al. 2009 and subsequent additions, e.g., TURRISI 2013; TURRISI and MADL 2013; WA T ANABE et al. 2013), Aulacus Jurine, 1807, with 76 species and Pristaulacus Kieffer, 1900 (including the former Panaulix Benoit, 1984), with 166 species. The number of described species has been strikingly increased since the publication of the World Aulacidae catalogue (SM I T H 2001), which listed around 150 species, and has stimulated a number of investi- gations, especially of poorly known regions (SM I T H 2005a, 2005b, 2008; HE et al. 2002; JENNIN G S et al. 2004a, 2004b, 2004c; TURRISI 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011; JENNIN G S and AUS T IN 2006; SUN and SHEN G 2007a, 2007b; TURRISI et al. 2009; SM I T H and VILELA de CAR V ALHO 2010; TURRISI and KONISHI 2011; TURRISI and SM I T H 2011; TURRISI and WA T ANABE 2011; TURRISI 2013; TURRISI and MADL 2013; WA T ANABE et al.

Abstract - This study describes for the first time the Aulacidae from Western Australia, a fauna that comprises six geographically isolated species. Three new species of Aulacus; A. douglasi, A. houstoni, and A. mcmillani, and three new species of Pristaulacus; P. curryi, P. davisi, and P. mouldsi, are described. At the same time, a key to genera and species is presented, along with a diagnosis for Aulacus and Pristaulacus, and notes on their taxonomic history and species diversity. Key words: Evanioidea, Aulacidae, Aulacus, Pristaulacus, taxonomy, parasitic wasps. INTRODUCTION Pristaulacus) (Smith 2001; Jennings 2001; Jennings et The Aulacidae is a family of parasitic wasps that al. in press), however, most descriptions are are endoparasitoids of wood-boring wasps inadequate and date from the early part of the 20th (Xiphydriidae) and beetles (Cerambycidae and Century. Even though modem collecting techniques Buprestidae) (Carlson 1979; Gauld and Bolton 1996; such as malaise trapping have added significantly Smith 2001; Jennings and Austin in press), although to the number of specimens held in museum and there are no records of aulacids parasitising other collections, only one taxonomic study, that of xiphydriid wasps in Australia.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the context of the biodiversity conservation of the oceanic Ogasawara Islands, the parasitoid species of Aulacidae are reviewed. We examined material from eight islands with or without invasion of the introduced lizard Anolis carolinensis (Voigt 1832) (green anoles): two species of Pristaulacus Kieffer 1900, P. boninensis Konishi, 1989, and P. anijimensis sp. nov., are recognized. The former species is widely distributed in the islands, whereas the latter species is found from a single island only, Anijima Island. Although this island appears to be currently well preserved, the recent introduction of green anoles will probably affect the conservation status of many species, including the endemic P. anijimensis sp. nov. A description of the new species, detailed drawings and descriptions of genitalia of both recognized species, an updated key to Japanese Aulacidae, and a brief discussion on the conservation aspects of Aulacidae in the Ogasawara Islands are provided.
