This paper literature review and individual consultations with experts intends to demonstrate that gender equality can be a driver and validated through an experts’ workshop, this white for more effective clean energy investments, and that this paper considers the most recent work on the intersection gender lens can be applied at every level of the energy of gender and energy. There is currently a knowledge gap at the intersection of clean energy, climate change gaps, raise awareness, and provide recommendations mitigation, and gender equality that is an impediment for actions and further research to implement gender- to reaching development and economic goals, including responsive clean energy and climate change mitigation mitigating climate change and fostering the advancement

  • Cassidinae from Costa Rica.Indd
    Genus Vol. 14 (1): 109-120 Wrocław, 15 IV 2003 Tortoise beetles of Costa Rica: new records and localities (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) CAROLINE S. CHABOO Department of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West @ 79th St., New York, NY 10024-5192, [email protected] ABSTRACT. Sixteen species in 12 genera in the cassidine tribes Cassidini, Delocraniini, Goniocheniini, Physonotini, Spilophorini, and Stolaini, are reported from Costa Rica for the first time. Localities for these new records are presented. Data are based on collections accumulated under the intensive survey of Costa Rica by Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio). Key words: entomology, zoogeography, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Costa Rica, new records. INTRODUCTION CHAMPION (1893) recorded 47 species of chrysomelid cassidines for Costa Rica. Cassidine diversity in Costa Rica has been further documented in BLACKWELDER (1946), FLOWERS and JANZEN (1997), BOROWIEC (1996, 1999, 2001, 2002) and CHABOO (2002). The intensive inventory effort of Costa Rica’s Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio) has accumulated a large collection of specimens in just over 13 years. In this paper, I provide 16 new species records along with provincial collecting data. Localities are provided for all new records, with provinces listed alphabetically and dates abbreviated to roman numerals. Each locality corresponds to a specimen in INBio's collection. Taxon names follow the nomenclature of BOROWIEC (1999). 110 CAROLINE CHABOO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This paper is only possible because of the tremendous work of INBio’s parataxonomists who have collected a large quantity of material and processed, mounted and labeled the specimens. I am indebted to Angel SOLÍS for access to the collections in his care, and for his encouragement in preparing this manuscript.

BLATCH, F. Christian THOMPSON and Manuel A. ZUMBADO College Park (USA) Washington (USA) Santo Domingo (Costa Rica) Abstract The Mesoamerican species of the genus Meromacrus are revised. A key to the nine species, along with synonymies, descriptions, distributions, and figures for all species are given. Meromacrus melansoni BLATCH spec, nov., is described and one new synonym is proposed (Meromacrus panamensis CURRAN, 1930 = Milesia laconica WALKER, 1852).

Stichworter Schwebfliegen, Syrphidae, Meromacrus, neue Art, Neotropis, Bestimmungsschliissel Introduction Meromacrus flower flies are common pollinators as adults and filter-feeders as maggots in rot- holes in trees. As such they contribute to diverse fauna and are indicators of rich habitats. As part of the effort to document the biodiversity of Costa Rica, we here describe a new species of Meromacrus and provide additional details on the eight other Mesoamerican species. The genus Meromacrus is endemic to the New World the included species ranging from the southern United States to northern Argentina.
