Müller² 1 Department of Applied Zoology, P.O.Box 27, FIN-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland 1 Rehetobelstr. 99, CH-9016 St. Gallen, Switzerland Received 10 January 1996 / Revised, Updated and Accepted 6 February 1997 A list of dragonflies known from the Philippines is presented with data on their distribution the of the islands. In addition the 224 named 3 by accuracy to spp. (and sspp.), some 65-70 still undescribed or unidentified (to species level) taxa are listed. Detailed data for 14 named which listed from the collecting are presented spp., arc Philippines for the first time, viz. Archibasis viola, Ceriagrion cerinorubellum, Acrogomphusjubilaris, Ictinogomphus decoratus melaenops, Gynacantha arsinoe, G. dohrni, Heliaeschna simplicia, H. uninervulata, Indaeschna grubaueri, Tetracanthagyna brunnea, Macromia westwoodi, Aethriamanta gracilis, Neurothemis fluctuans and Rhyothemis obsolescens. Prodasineura obsoleta (Selys, 1882) is synonymized with P. integra (Selys, 1882) and Gomphidia platerosi Asahina, 1980 with G. kirschii Selys, 1878. A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.

The obtained station velocities with respect to the Sunda plate (SU) show that WNW motions are dominant due to the conver- gence of the Philippine Sea plate (PHS). However, it was found that elastic deformations caused by a full Masbate coupling of the plate interface down to 80 km could explain a maximum of only 29% of the observed sta- Leyte tion velocities. In order to interpret the displacement pattern, we applied a rigid block rotation model and determined the Euler vector. As a result, we deter- mined that Mindanao Island could be divided into at least three blocks and that the Philippine fault is one of the block boundaries.

  • The Central Philippine Fault Zone: Location of Great Earthquakes, Slow Events, and Creep Activity
    Earth Planets Space, 57, 987–994, 2005 The central Philippine Fault Zone: Location of great earthquakes, slow events, and creep activity G. M. Besana1,2,3 and M. Ando1 1Research Center for Seismology, Volcanology, and Disaster Mitigation, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8602, Japan 2Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Department of Science and Technology, Quezon City, Philippines 1110 3National Institute of Geological Sciences, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines 1110 (Received November 29, 2004; Revised July 18, 2005; Accepted August 7, 2005) The central Philippine Fault Zone is found to be the locus of great earthquakes, a transition zone with slow slip and creep activity. This is based on the analysis and correlation of seismic historic data and detailed documentation of recent seismic events in the region. Based on this study the Guinyangan fault is defined to be the northern locked portion with recurrence interval of as short as 65 years. The Masbate fault is the central part with large and medium earthquakes accompanied by unusually large ground rupture. The north Central Leyte fault and the south Central Leyte fault, on the other hand, are characterized by aseismic creep and medium-sized events, usually with clusters of foreshocks, respectively. Unusual seismic activity both on the Masbate fault and Central Leyte fault somehow correlates well with the behavior of known slow events and creep activity. Further investigation of this region could lead to deeper understanding of impending major earthquakes, especially along the Guinyangan fault, which usually produces larger damaging events, and for further understanding of the impact of slow events and creep on the adjoining active structures.

Thirty-four humanitarian organizations were served. The primary relief items dispatched were on behalf of the Shelter, WASH, Food / Nutrition and Health Clusters. • There was 28,297 Metric Tons of cargo transported by road with the use of 1,164 trucks. • The Cluster received 239 requests for warehouse space and provided storage at strategically located warehouses. Storage facilities comprised of mobile storage units (MSUs) and fixed structures in the following locations and with the following dimensions:Tacloban = 1200 M2; Ormoc = 5,760 M2; Guiuan = 5200M2; Cebu = 540 M2; and Roxas = 1500M2 undercover and 1500 M2 open storage. • A total of 4,185 Metric Tons of relief cargo was stored on behalf of the humanitarian community.
