O material e a sua proveniência. Co-njunctamente com a minha esposa Exma. Sra. D. EVELINE DU BOIS- REYMOND MARCUS communico a seguir a 3.a contribuição á historia natu­ ral dos Bryozoa marinhos brasileiros, especialmente da bahia de Santos. As Terebriporidae, Ctenostomata perfuradores de conchas, foram no entretanto publicados em outro lugar (Marcus 1938b). O material 'para a parte geral do trabalho presente foi colleccionado em duas excursões realizadas em janeiro de 1938 e de 1939, e facilitad as pelos Snrs. D irectores do C lube de Pesca e pelo Snr. D ire cto r da Escola de Pesca, todos em Santos. A g ra d e ço aos mencionados Snrs. o seu auxilio generoso, e com profunda gratidão ao meu caro amigo Dr. Paulo Sawaya, professor de Physiologia geral e animal da nossa U niversidade, to d a a sua a ctivid a d e excellente prestada para o bem da nossa obra commum e a revisão linguistica da parte geral do trabalho presente. Valerosissima foi tambem a collaboração do Snr. João de Paiva Carvalho que contribuiu essencialmente para o successo da excursão de 1939. As especies tratadas na parte especial proveem, em iparte, da collecção malacologica do Snr. F. Lange de Morretes que amavelmente pôs á nossa disposição as conchas de Castropoda e Lamellibranchiata incrustadas por Bryozoa. As especies classificadas por nós em conchas da collecção do Snr. Lange de Morretes eprocedentes do litoral brasileiro, fora do Estado -de São Paulo, são enum eradas na pagina 172. Outra parte do material discutido no capitulo systematico devemos ao Snr. Dr. O tto Schubart-Rio de Janeiro que colleccionou na barra de Serinhaem, R ecife (Est. de Pernambuco) as 18 especies seguintes: * Crisevia pseudosolena Marc. * Beania intermedia (Hcks.) Stoma+opora major (Johnst.) Nellia oculata Bsk. Idmonea atlantica Johnst. * Catenicella contei (Aud.) * Aetea anguina (L.) Hippothoa divaricata Lmx. * Membranipora tuberculata (Bosc) Escharoides costifera (Osb.) * Electra bel lu la (Hcks.) Gemelliporina glabra (Smitt) ERNST MARCUS H ippopodina feegeensis (Bsk.) * Nolella dilatata (Hcks.) Holoporella schubarti, spec. nov. Mimosella verticillata (Hell.) var. fir- * Nolella gigantea (Bsk.) mata Marc. * Buskia repens (O 'D on.) As especies marcadas ja foram encontradas por nós mo litoral de Santos e descriptas nas publicações precedentes (Marcus 1937; 1938). O frag­ m ento de Idmonea atlantica possibilitou a classificação certa, mas não justificaria uma figura. Por isso falta esta especie na parte systematica do presente trabalho, embora até agora não tenha sido tratada nas duas contribuições anteriores. Outras especies que serão tambem aqui descriptas foram colleccionadas na excursão de 1938 ou offerecidas pelas alumnas Srtas. D. Berta Lange de Morretes, D. Marta Vannucci e pelos Snrs. prof. Barão D r. O. de Fiore Cro- pani, Ivan Hauff e João de Paiva Carvalho, aos quaes fico summamente grato. O Snr. Lie. Michel Pedro Sawaya, assistente scientifico da catedra de Zoologia geral da Universidade de São Paulo, encarregou-se amavelmente da revisão linguistica da parte especial e da leitura das provas; sou-lhe muito reconhecido. Ainda não foi possivel dragar em profundidades além de 20 metros, de modo que o inventario da bryozoofauna de Santos se restringe ao litoral superior. Na ultima resenha (Marcus 1938, p. 4) o numero total das especies de Santos importava em 95. N'este numero não foram incluídas as varie­ dades daquellas especies, cuja forma typica foi verificada na região de Santos. Actualmente temos de accrescentar 5 especies da familia Tere- briporidae (Marcus 1938b), Bowerbankia caudata (Hcks.), na pri­ meira publicação indicada do Rio de Janeiro (Marcus 1937. p. 138), mas, no entretanto encontrada na bahia de Santos e 9 especies da lista seguinte,, pela primeira vez assignaladas do nosso litoral. Eleva-se assim a I 10 o nu­ mero das especies dos Bryozoa conhecidos do litoral superior de Santos e dos seus arredores.

Chapter 1 is a collaborative effort and meant to provide supplementary scanning electron micrographs for a forthcoming description of a genus of tardigrade. Three micrographs illustrate the structures that will be used to distinguish this genus from its confamilials. An In toto lateral view presents the external structures relative to one another. A second micrograph shows a dentate collar at the distal end of each of the fourth pair of legs, a posterior sensory organ (cirrus E), basal spurs at the base of two of four claws on each leg, and a ventral plate. The third micrograph illustrates an appendage on the second leg (p2) of the animal and a lateral appendage (C′) at the posterior sinistral margin of the first paired plate (II). This image also reveals patterning on the plate margin and the leg.

  • Trocas De Correspondência De Afrânio
    Seção Fontes e Documentos Trocas de correspondências de Afrânio do Amaral: um caminho para entender política e ciência Sabrina Acosta1 ​ As cartas2 tratadas nesta seção pertencem ao acervo do Instituto ​ Butantan, onde estão guardadas correspondências trocadas entre Afrânio do Amaral e seus diferentes interlocutores ao longo de sua carreira científica. Datadas de 1923 a 1982, as correspondências abordam diferentes assuntos que envolviam a rotina de Afrânio (CALLEFFO; FERNANDES, 2013, p. 109). A ​ ​ divulgação dessas correspondências tem como objetivo apresentar brevemente uma rede de relações entre destinatários e remetentes, difundindo as ideias e as informações registradas entre eles. Conhecer esses documentos possibilita vislumbrar algumas questões sobre o trabalho realizado por Afrânio no Instituto Butantan. Além de conhecer as ações políticas e as tomadas de decisões estratégicas que envolviam a direção de um instituto de pesquisa científica, é possível assinalar conexões e contribuições de pesquisadores, instituições e diversos países. Muitas questões ainda podem ser exploradas com os estudos das cartas e, com o auxílio de outras fontes, será possível formular novas perguntas para compreender os diferentes movimentos da atividade científica desenvolvida no Instituto. Camargo (2011) afirma que, nas necessidades, nos interesses e nos assuntos dos correspondentes, a escrita ocupa um espaço de prática social concretizado nas próprias cartas e construído no jogo das interações sociais (p.18). No caso de Afrânio, os assuntos tratados por ele e por seus correspondentes revelam sua influência na introdução de componentes estrangeiros na cultura científica 1 Bacharela e Licenciada em Filosofia pela Universidade de São Paulo e Auxiliar de Apoio à Pesquisa do Instituto Butantan. Contato: [email protected] 2 Calleffo e Fernandes (2013) relatam o processo de incorporação das cartas ao acervo, que foram doadas pelas neta e filha de Afrânio para Paulo Emílio Vanzolini, que posteriormente doou as mesmas ao Instituto Butantan.

  • Pulmonata) of the Subfamily Melampodinae and Three Rissoacea (Prosobranchia): One Species of Assiminea Fleming, 1828, and Two of Littoridina Sou- Leyet, 1852
    ON BRAZILIAN SUPRATIDAL AND ESTUARINE SNAILS by EVELINE and ERNST MARCUS with 10 plates The following study comprises two Ellobiidae (Pulmonata) of the subfamily Melampodinae and three Rissoacea (Prosobranchia): one species of Assiminea Fleming, 1828, and two of Littoridina Sou- leyet, 1852. The association of ellobiids and Assiminea is frequent in the supralittoral fringe of lagoons and estuaries (Morton 1955b, p. 131; Abbott 1958, p. 229) For these thalassogenous snails and also for the Hydrobiidae and others the brackish water is a migratory route from an originally marine intertidal habitat to the land conquered by Pythia, Carychium, Paludinella, Truncatella and others. This emi­ gration from the sea is especially evident in lower latitudes, where marginal backwaters of lagoons and estuaries dry out during the dry season (Moore 1958, p. 205) Also tolerance for low salinities is greater at higher than at lower temperatures (ibid., p. 43; Fretter & Graham 1962, p. 580) Our thanks are due to the Directors of the Oceanographic Ins­ titute Dr. Ingvar Emilsson and Dra. D. Marta Vannucci, who granted us the permission to study at the Research Base of Cananéia, where our Friends, the Head of the Base, Dr. Victor and Mrs. Nanna Sa- dovsky, made our sojourns extremely agreeable. As Linné’s material of Melampus coffeus came from the Antilles, we wanted to compare snails from this region with ours and are gra­ teful to our Friend, Prof. Dra. Diva Diniz Corrêa, who gathered many specimens during her stay at Curaçao, where she could work owing to a fellowship from the Royal Government of the Netherlands.

Winston Virginia Museum of Natural History, 1001 Douglas Avenue, Martinsville, VA 24112, USA 1. Introduction 2. The years in Germany 3. The years in Brazil 4. Acknowledgements 1. Introduction The names of Ernst and Eveline Marcus are so well-known to bryozoan workers that it surprised me when preparing this paper to find little published biographical material available beyond a few brief obituaries. Fortunately, some additional sources have made it possible to create a more complete picture of their lives for the IBA history session. Meeting several current and former members of the Zoology Department at the University of São Paulo during the 16th International Congress of Zoology in Athens in September 2000, made me aware of Ernst’s still vivid reputation as a great teacher and the founder of biological science at that university. One of those present, Cláudio Gonçalves Tiago, Centro de Biologia Marinha, University of São Paulo, generously offered to interview some older and retired colleagues concerning their remembrances of the Marcus’s years in Brazil, to translate and e-mail their comments to me. He also found and sent copies of additional biographical material published in Brazil. Another rich source was the correspondence of the American bryozoan worker, Mary Dora Rogick, passed on to me by Timothy Wood in the hope that I could find a permanent archive for it.

La acción conjunta del examen del material tipo de las especies descritas, del muestreo en otras regiones aún no exploradas con esta finalidad y de la formación de un cuerpo de taxónomos son pasos necesarios para abordar este grupo de vermes tan diverso y desconocido.

Overview of the diversity of chilean land planarians (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida) Abstract Approximately 25 species of terrestrial planarians are known from Chile, collected in a few localities between the Atacama (28° S) and Aisén (46° S) regions, only three of them taxonomically well known. From the remaining species, the available morphological information is insufficient for taxonomic or phylogenetic purposes, or presents synonymy problems.
