A New Species

The genus Psyllaphorura is reported from China for the first time. A new species, Psyllaphorura jiangsuensis sp. n. as the eighth species of the genus, is described from Nanjing, Southeast China. It is most similar to the Russian species Psyllaphorura martynovae (Stebaeva, 1985) in many respects. However, it can be distinguished from the latter by number of vesicles in the postantennal organ, number of setae on ventral tube, length ratio of unguiculus to unguis, absence of unguiculus basal lamella and maximum body length. A key to all of the species of Psyllaphorura is provided.

A New Species

AbstractA new species of African clawed toad is described from the Bale Mountains region in southern Ethiopia. A series of small field samples indicate a maximum body length for females of about 50 mm. The new species is a 3-clawed Xenopus, distinguished by a rounded snout with relatively small eyes, a dark brown dorsal colouration lacking large spots or patches (which are common elsewhere in the genus), the absence of both a subocular tentacle and a metatarsal tubercle, and a small number of lateral line plaques (18 or 19 transverse plaques between eye and vent). The new species occurs in a region noted for the high proportion of endemic taxa in its fauna and flora; it occurs sympatrically with the single previously-known Ethiopian Xenofius, X. clivii, at around 2600 m asl., but is easily distinguished from this 4-clawed species. The new species has a chromosome number of 2n = 36; a series of biochemical and genetic studie indicate that it is most closely related to X. laevis and X. gilli and that it is relatively distant from the three species which are its nearest geographical neighbours, X. clivii, X. borealis and X. muelleri.

Elaborating the role of reflection and individual differences in the study of folk-economic beliefs

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
