Review of the Australian Teredolaemus Sharp, 1885 (Coleoptera: Teredidae), with descriptions of five new species

Abstract: The Australian species of Teredolaemus Sharp, 1885 are reviewed, described and illustrated. A key to the Australian species and detailed distribution maps are also provided. Five new species are described: Teredolaemus mulleolus sp. nov., T. opimus sp. nov., T. amplus sp. nov., T. micropunctatus sp. nov. and T. cerinus sp. nov. The neotype of Oxylaemus leae Grouvelle, 1908 (= Teredolaemus leai (Grouvelle, 1908)) is here designated to stabilise the identity of this species. Teredolaemus pilosus Hinton, 1941 (New Britain, Papua New Guinea) is here transferred to Xylariophilus Pal & Lawrence as X. pilosus (Hinton, 1941) comb. nov.

Search for p waves in low-energy proton capture reactions relevant to the solar neutrino problem.

Abstract: A previous study of the ground-state transition of the {sup 7}Li({ital p}{searrow},{gamma}){sup 8}Be reaction at energies of {ital E}{sub {ital p}}(lab)=80{endash}0 keV indicated the possibility of a large {ital p}-wave capture amplitude in this reaction. A similar {ital p}-wave component in the {sup 7}Be({ital p},{gamma}){sup 8}B reaction could seriously affect the extrapolation used to obtain the astrophysical {ital S} factor. The present work examines this possibility by observing the closely related {sup 7}Li({ital p}{searrow},{gamma}{sub 16.6}){sup 8}Be{asterisk} (2{sup +}, {ital T}=0+1) reaction with polarized protons at and below 80 keV. Experimental data for {sigma}({theta})/{ital A}{sub 0} and {ital A}{sub {ital y}}({theta}) for capture to the third (16.6 MeV) excited state of {sup 8}Be are presented, and the implications discussed. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
