In this study, two new genera of Desmiphorini (Lamiinae) are proposed: Cleidaria gen. nov., to include Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. from the state of Chiapas in Mexico, and Obscenoides gen. nov. for Desmiphora (D.) compta Martins & Galileo, 2005. The shape of tarsal claws of Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. (abruptly narrowed from basal half) is so far, not found in any current genera of the tribe. With respect to Obscenoides compta (Martins & Galileo, 2005) comb. nov., the genitalia of males have an unusual shape with non-retractile parameres. The character combination related to this genital structure is unknown to us in other species in the family, and hypotheses about its function are suggested. Key-Words.

An Analysis of the Japanese Cerambycid Fauna with Special Reference to Distribution Belts1
Pacific Insects 2 (2) : 123-131 July 31, 1960 AN ANALYSIS OF THE JAPANESE CERAMBYCID FAUNA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DISTRIBUTION BELTS1 By Masao Hayashi 199, 1-3, NlSHITAKAAI, HIGASHI-SUMIYOSHI, OSAKA, JAPAN In analyzing the Japanese cerambycid fauna, an examination of the geographical ori gins of the elements has been possible from the world-wide point of view, because many valuable contributions have been made by S. Breuning, J. L. Gressitt, E. G. Linsley and other authors on almost every aspect of the study of longicorn beetles in recent years (Sy stematics, zoogeography, ecology and others). As careful records have been made attending to relations between the seasons of ap pearance and activity of beetles, seasonal changes in their vertical distribution, and their precise horizontal distribution in Japan, it is clear that it is impossible to accurately ex plain the complicated true situation by simple indication of the conventional geographical distribution. As the result of recording on a map the precise distribution pattern of each species, it becomes clear that the pattern of each species is distinct, and is discontinuous. When consideration is given in addition to the accompanying data on the relation between the season of their appearance and the change of their vertical distribution, the following three principal types of situation can be found: 1. The distribution pattern has much thickness, namely in spring it appears in the plains or lower mountainous regions, and the altitude inhabited becomes higher with the passing of months, and it is found athigh elevations in summer. Tn this case, the recent origin or the closely allied forms of the species may be traced northward from the pat tern. -

Abstract A study of the species of the tribe Acanthoderini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) described by Ernst Fuchs and deposited in the Herbert Schmid private collection is presented. Four new synonyms are established: Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) curvistriatus Tippmann, 1960 = Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) griseofasciata Fuchs, 1958; Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) minuta Fuchs, 1958 = Idiomerus difficilis Melzer, 1934; Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) sexmaculatus Fuchs, 1961 = Acanthoderes schmithi Melzer, 1935; and Sorelia cervina Lane, 1965 = Oreodera ferruginea Fuchs, 1964. Two new combinations are proposed: Oreodera hassenteufeli (Fuchs, 1958) from Acanthoderes (Pasapharochrus) and Sorelia ferruginea (Fuchs, 1964) from Oreodera. Acanthoderes (Psapharochrus) virescens Fuchs, 1962 is transferred to the subgenus Scythropopsis Thomson, 1864. Notes on the type-material and the geographical distribution are added for each species. Key words: Acanthoderini, Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, Ernst Fuchs, Lamiinae, new combinations, synonyms, transferences Inroduction The late Ernst Fuchs (1910-2000) was an engineer who became interested in Cerambycidae in 1950 while at the Naturhistorischen Museum in Vienna. Fuchs published 39 papers on longicorns (1955-1976) and made important contributions mainly in the tribes Clytini, Rhinotragini and Acanthoderini (Schmid, 2002). His private collection presently is located in Vienna, Austria, under the care of Dr. -

Introduction 1. According to the Feasibility Study Report and RF, the Project involves neither land acquisition nor house demolition, and involves temporary land occupation only. This report aims to strengthen the development of ethnic minorities in the project area, and includes mitigation and benefit enhancing measures, and funding sources. The project area involves a number of ethnic minorities, including Yi, Hani and Lisu. B. Socioeconomic profile of ethnic minorities 2. Poverty and income: The Project involves 16 cities/prefectures in Yunnan Province. In 2013, there were 6.61 million poor population in Yunnan Province, which accounting for 17.54% of total population. In 2013, the per capita net income of rural residents in Yunnan Province was 6,141 yuan. 3. Gender Heads of households are usually men, reflecting the superior status of men. Both men and women do farm work, where men usually do more physically demanding farm work, such as fertilization, cultivation, pesticide application, watering, harvesting and transport, while women usually do housework or less physically demanding farm work, such as washing clothes, cooking, taking care of old people and children, feeding livestock, and field management. In Lijiang and Dali, Bai and Naxi women also do physically demanding labor, which is related to ethnic customs. Means of production are usually purchased by men, while daily necessities usually by women. -
