En Centroamérica, la sucesión de guerras post-federales acontecidas después de 1840 mostró cómo la política de los Estados se desarrolló en un escenario regional dentro del cual se insertó el Arco de Conchagua. La zona circundante al Golfo de Fonseca, compartida por El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua, fue cobrando mayor preeminencia económica y estratégica en esos años. Los grupos dominantes fomentaron una concepción de espacio común al buscar apoyos de otros actores interregionales en función de su movilización política e intereses económicos. En este artículo sostenemos que a mediados del siglo XIX la región del Arco de Conchagua fue un espacio de circulación de personas, ideas y negocios con nuevas características, bajo el liderazgo del grupo dominante de San Miguel en la zona oriental de El Salvador. Para comprobarlo abordaremos los antecedentes históricos del espacio común y luego analizaremos los factores sociopolíticos y económicos que configuraron este espacio.Abstract: In Central America, the series of post-federal wars after 1840 showed how State politics were developed in a regional setting, in which the Arch of Conchagua was inserted. The area around the Fonseca Gulf, shared by El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, acquired a great economic and strategic pre-eminence in those years. The dominant groups encouraged a concept of common space, seeking the support of other interregional actors based on their political mobilization and economic interests. In this paper we assert that during the mid-19th century the region of the Conchagua Arch was a space for the circulation of people, ideas, and businesses with new characteristics, under the leadership of the dominant group of San Miguel in Eastern El Salvador. To prove it we will address the historic background of the common space and later analyze the socio-political and economic factors that led it to be formed.Keywords: Conchagua Arch, Eastern Salvador, Central America, Fonseca Gulf, post-federal wars.Résumé : En Amérique centrale, la succession des guerres dites post-fédérales engagées à compter de 1840 montre à quel point la politique des États se jouait essentiellement sur la scène centre-américaine dans laquelle s’inscrit l’Arc de Conchagua. La zone entourant le Golfe de Fonseca, partagée entre le Salvador, le Honduras et le Nicaragua (ici appelée Arc de Conchagua) a pris une importance économique et stratégique majeure durant cette période. Cette conception de l’espace commun a été favorisée par des groupes dominants qui s’appuyaient sur d’autres acteurs interrégionaux en fonction des luttes politiques qui les mobilisaient. Nous soutenons dans cet article qu’au milieu du XIXe siècle, la région de l’Arc de Conchagua était un nouvel espace de circulation des personnes, des idées et des activités commerciales, sous l’influence du groupe dominant de San Miguel (région orientale du Salvador). Pour démontrer cette hypothèse, nous rappellerons les antécédents historiques de l’espace commun avant d’analyser les facteurs sociopolitiques et économiques qui ont façonné cet espace.Mots-clés : Arc de Conchagua, est du Salvador, Amérique centrale, Golfe de Fonseca, guerres post-fédérales.

En 1890, Frank Vincent publicó un libro acerca de Centroamérica titulado In and Out of Central America and Other Sketches and Studies of Travel. El capítulo sobre Costa Rica no se publicó ni en Costa Rica en el siglo XIX, de Ricardo Fernández Guardia, ni en Entre Silladas y Rejoyas: Viajeros por Costa Rica de 1850 a 1950, del autor Miguel Ángel Quesada. Por primera vez, aparece aquí traducido al español para aquellos lectores centroamericanos de relatos de viajes de norteamericanos. Vincent, quien viajó por Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras y El Salvador en 1887, arriba a Puntarenas y sigue su camino a través de Esparta y Atenas hacia San José y, finalmente, Cartago, al mismo tiempo que detalla los lugares que visita.

As American economic interests expanded in Central America in the early twentieth century, many British representatives concluded that the Foreign Office would have to devise some method to protect existing British investments against American encroachment. When Secretary of State Knox visited Central America in 1912, he and Sir Lionel E. G. Carden, the British Minister to Central America, discussed Central American affairs when they met in Guatemala on March 16. Knox could scarcely have been very sympathetic as Carden expounded the British point of view, for the Department of State believed that the greatest obstacle to the success of its policy in Central America was none other than the British Minister. As early as April, 1910, Knox had unsuccessfully tried to have Carden transferred from his post; the attempt failed because Sir Edward Grey backed up his Minister.

The militarycoup d'étatwhich installed General Maximiliano Hernández Martínez as President of El Salvador during December 1931 created a crisis involving the 1923 Washington Treaties. By the terms of these accords, the Central American nadons had pledged to withhold recognition from governments seizing power through force in any of the isthmian republics. Although not a signatory of the treaty, the United States based its recognition policy on this principle. Through this means the State Department had attempted to impose some stability in Central America, by discouraging revolts. With the co-operation of the isthmian governments, United States diplomats endeavored to bring pressure to bear on the leaders of any uprising, to deny them the fruits of their victory, and thus reduce the constant series ofcoupsandcounter-coupsthat normally characterized Central American politics.

A new genus of Parastenocarididae is described from the Neotropical region. Iticocaris gen. nov. is established to include Parastenocaris itica Noodt, 1962. Iticocaris gen. nov. is defined by the following characters: 1) male leg 3 with 2-segmented exopod; 2) first exopodal segment short and rectangular; 3) thumb hypertrophic, longer than the second exopodal segment and inserted on the distal edge of exopod segment 1, occupying the whole distal margin; 4) exopod 2 or apophysis strongly sclerotized, articulated with the exopod segment 1 on its inner margin and curved against the thumb, forming a strong forceps; 5) leg 4 endopod without dimorphism in shape and size vs. minor dimorphism in ornamentation; 6) leg 5 with three setae and 7) lack of the anterolateral furcal seta II. The new genus is monotypic, represented by Iticocaris itica (Noodt, 1962) comb. nov., from El Salvador, Central America. A close relationship is hypothesized between I. itica and the genus Brasilibathynellocaris Jakobi, 1972, the males of which both share the forceps-like elongated apophysis.
