The following species were collected by the Pacific Entomological Survey in 1928. Genus KALOTERMES Hagen sensu latiore Subgenus NEOTERMES Holmgren Kalotermes (Neotennes) connexus Snyder.

Snyder records this species for Hawaii, and it is the commonest termite in the Marquesas.1 It is surprising that it was not collected by the Survey 'Light, S. F., Termites from the Marquesas: B. P.

Subgenus GLYPTOTERMES Kalotermes (Glyptotermes) xantholabrum Hill (pI. 1; fig. 1, a-d). Kalotermes (Glyptotermes) xantholabrum Hill: Nat. Mus.

Tahiti: Papenoo Valley, altitude 350 feet, October 25, 1928, in dead wood of Inocarpus edulis; Tipaerui Valley, altitude 750 feet, September 12, 1928; Fautaua Valley, September 11, 1928; Hitiaa, altitude 1,500 feet, November 16, 1928; Adamson. Papara Valley, altitude 750 feet, December 21, 1928, 2 collections, one in dead wood of Hibiscus tiliaceus, Mumford and Adamson. Moorea: Faaroa Valley, altitude 1,500 feet, November 28, 1928, Adamson. These collections agree in general with Hill's description. Both castes are larger in all dimensions and other small differences appear, but Hill has compared them with the types and reports that they agree perfectly. The finding of nest series confirms Hill's conclusions as to the conspecificity of the New Britain alates and the Samoa soldiers. The soldier is figured here for the first time (fig. 1, a, b). Alates were not taken swarming, but were present in colonies taken in September and November. Kalotermes (Glyptotermes) species indeterminate. Alate Description incomplete since based on an alate probably incompletely pigmented, which is distorted due to drying. Head, thorax, and two terminal abdominal tergites light yellow; remainder of body whitish-yellow; wings a light shining brown; costal veins darker. Head long and narrow; eye subcircular; separated from ventral margin by less than its diameter, and from posterior margin by nearly three times its diameter. Ocellus sub­ circular, close to eye. Pronotum at least half as long as wide; shallowly, broadly, and evenly concave in front, sides receding from near atiterior end and rounding broadly into weakly convex posterior margin. Wings narrow, with very large, coarse micrasters separated by about twice their own diameters on the average; fore wing with subcosta joining margin at base of membrane, radius joining margin at basal one-sixth, and radius sector and median running side by side to tip of wing without communicating branches; space between margin and radius sector same as that between radius sector and median, and less than diameter of veins, median running beyond radius sector, curving down to tip of wing and sending a branch to margin; cubitus running straight through center of wing and curving ventrally at tip to end of ventral margin; cubitus with 7 branches, the 4 distal ones widely spaced and curved; hind wing with radius joining margin within basal Society Islands Insects 5 one-sixth; radius sector and median united in basal one-third of wing; cubitus with 6 branches, widely spaced and curved.

This collection seems to represent a new species of Glyptotermes, but it seems better to await the finding of more extensive material before so designating it.

A report on the species from the Marquesas Islands has already been pub­ lished,1 FAMILY MENOPONIDAE HARRISON Genus ACTORNITHOPHILUS Ferris The members of this genus constitute a very homogeneous group that is charactertistic of the bird families Laridae, Alcidae, and Charadriidae A single species is in the material at hand.

Bishop Museum-Bulletin 113 herewith designate a specimen from Anous stolidus, Clipperton Island, as the type. As \Vaterston has pointed out, the true host appears to be Anous. Several species of a type very similar to this have been described and it stands in need of more precise and extended figures, which are here pre­ sented. The species is moderately dark and seems especially marked by the strongly fusiform abdomen in both male and female and the sexual dimorphism in the form of the fore-head.

    Your Cruise Marquesas, the Tuamotus & Society Islands

    Marquesas, The Tuamotus & Society Islands From 6/11/2021 From Papeete, Tahiti Island Ship: LE PAUL GAUGUIN to 20/11/2021 to Papeete, Tahiti Island From Tahiti, PAUL GAUGUIN Cruises invites you to embark on an all-new 15-day cruise to the heart of idyllic islands and atolls hemmed by stunning clear-water lagoons and surrounded by an exceptional coral reef. Aboard Le Paul Gauguin, set sail to discover French Polynesia, considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. Le Paul Gauguin will stop at the heart of the Tuamotu Islands to explore the marvellous depths of the atoll of Fakarava, a UNESCO-classified nature reserve. Discover the unique charms of Marquesasthe Islands. The singer- songwriter Jacques Brel sang about the Marquesas Islands and the painter Paul Gauguin was inspired by these islands which stand like dark green fortresses surrounded by the indigo blue of the Pacific. Here, you will find neither lagoons nor reefs. The archipelago’s charm lies in its wild beauty. In the heart of the dense forests of Nuku Hiva, droplets from the waterfalls dive off the vertiginous cliffs. As for the islands of Hiva Oa and Fatu Hiva, they still hide mysterious ancient petroglyphs. In the Society Islands, you will be dazzled by the incomparable beauty of Huahine, by the turquoise waters of the Motu Mahana, our private vanilla- scented little paradise, by the sumptuous lagoon of Bora Bora, with its distinctly recognisable volcanic silhouette, and by Moorea, with its hillside pineapple plantations and its verdant peaks overlooking the island.

Since the last publication of the inventory list for dragonflies and damselflies within the boundary of Andalas University’s Limau Manis Campus Complex, Padang, in 2018, the study has been continuously conducted. In this study we add five new species of Odonata for Andalas University’s Limau Manis Campus Complex, with one species Drepanosticta cf. bispina requires further investigation and elaboration on its existence in West Sumatra. We also corrected the identification of Heliocypha fenestrata into H. angusta angusta. With this addition, Andalas University’s Limau Manis Campus Complex currently resides for 32 species and 9 families of Odonata, increasing from previously 27 species and 8 families.

    Use of Natural Colours in the Ice Cream Industry

    USE OF NATURAL COLOURS IN THE ICE CREAM INDUSTRY Dr. Juan Mario Sanz Penella Dr. Emanuele Pedrazzini Dr. José García Reverter SECNA NATURAL INGREDIENTS GROUP Definition of ice cream Ice cream is a frozen dessert, a term that includes different types of product that are consumed frozen and that includes sorbets, frozen yogurts, non-dairy frozen desserts and, of course, ice cream. In order to simplify its classification, we can consider for practical purposes two different types of frozen desserts: ice cream and sorbets. Ice cream includes all products that have a neutral pH and contain dairy ingredients. While sorbet refers to products with an acidic pH, made with water and other ingredients such as fruit, but without the use of dairy. Additionally, when referring to ice cream, we are not referring to a single type of product, we are actually referring to a wide range of these. Ice cream is a food in which the three states of matter coexist, namely: water in liquid form and as ice crystals, sugars, fats and proteins in solid form and occluded air bubbles in gaseous form, Figure 1. Artisanal ice creams based on natural ingredients which give it its special texture. It should be noted that ice cream is a very complete food from a nutritional point of view since it incorporates in its formulation a wide range of ingredients (sugars, milk, fruits, egg products ...) essential for a balanced diet. Another aspect of great relevance in the manufacture of ice cream is the hedonic factor. Ice cream is consumed mainly for the pure pleasure of tasting it, the hedonic component being the main factor that triggers its consumption, considering its formulation and design a series of strategies to evoke a full range of sensations: gustatory, olfactory, visual and even, of the touch and the ear.
