The Baltic Amber Snake-Flies (Neuroptera)

Abstract: The snake-flies, comprising the neuropterous suborder Raphidiodea, have had a long geological record. Like the scorpion-flies (Mecoptera), they appear to have been more extensively represented generically and specifically in previous geological periods than at present. They have been described from the Permian of Kansas and Russia (Carpenter, 1943; Martynova, 1952), the Jurassic of Turkestan (Martynov, 1925; Martynova, 1947), the Miocene of Colorado (Carpenter, 1936), and the Oligocene .of the Baltic amber.

The Collembola of Lebanon and Western Syria. Part I. General Considerations and the Family Onychiuridae

Abstract: The Collembolan fauna of the eastern end of the Mediterranean is still very poorly known. Brown (1926) made the first major contribution by describing twelve species taken by Buxton and Evans in the region of Amara and Baghdad in Iraq. Handschin (1942) recorded all but one of these species from Palestine, and added 26 additional forms. In his recent paper upon the Collembola taken during a speleological expedition in Lebanon, Cassagnau (1951) added 25 new forms to this list. In addition to these major works a number of smaller papers have been published upon new material or further records.

Australian Carabid Beetles III. Notes on the Agonini

Abstract: Das Sexuelle in der analytischen Paarbeziehung wird zunachst im Kontext einer Reihe zusammengehorig-widerspruchlicher Merkmale der analytischen Situation erortert. Im nachsten Schritt werden die scheinbar so konstanten Eigenschaften des analytischen Rahmens einer dynamischen Betrachtungsweise unterzogen. Damit wird zugleich die Ko-Kreation der Ubertragungs-Gegenubertragungsprozesse herausgestellt und insbesondere auf die sinnlich-leibhaftige Qualitat des Austausches zwischen Patient und Analytiker hingewiesen. Rahmen, Abstinenz und Neutralitat erweisen sich somit nicht als ein einfach durch das analytische Setting Gegebenes, sondern als ein stets erst (wieder) Herzustellendes. Behalt man diese Gegebenheiten im Blick, dann konnen – in methodischer Wendung – die unvermeidbaren Momente der Verwicklung im gunstigen Fall zum Ausgangspunkt von Einsicht und Entwicklung im analytischen Paarprozes werden.

A New Genus and New Species of Chrysopidae From the Western United States, With Remarks on the Wing Venation of the Family (Neuroptera)

Abstract: In some material collected by the writer in southern Arizona in 1949, a single female specimen of a chrysopid was f.ound, representing a previously unknown genus and species. The venation of this genus is remarkably like th.at of the Chrysopidae described from the Iiocene shales of Colorado. Two other recent genera, Triplochrysa Kimmins and Dicyochrysa Petersen, similarly retain an archaic type of venation. Since these latter tw.o genera have not been discussed in the light of the interpretation of the venation given by F. M. Carpenter (1935), they are compared in this paper with the new genus and with the Miocene genera.

Veromessor lobognathus in North Dakota (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Abstract: In ,our field studies on the ants of North Dakota we have been in the habit of identifying our collections of Pogonomyrmex by casual inspection with the unaided eye. This seemed adequate, since there is only one species oi’ this genus in the state and since we knew of no other ant that could be confused with Pogonomyrmex. But after reading Gregg’s interesting paper2 on Veromessor we hurriedly re-examined our material under magnification. (See Fig. 1.). Among a hundr.ed nest-series of putative Pogonomyrmex occidentalis (Cresson) we discovered one o Veromessor lobognathus (Andrews). This is only the sixth collection .of this species, but it extends the range northward by 450 miles.. Since almost nothing is known about its habits and ecology we hoped that our field notes would contribute something, but we found them disappointingly laconic: \"Under flat rock 32 x 2)x 2\" lying on north wall of east-west valley. ATYPICAL.\" The word \"atypical\" is significant for it shows that at the time we regarded the ant as P. occidentalis and a Pogonomyrmex nest under a rock was something we had never seen. Our error was not detected until the autumn or winter of 1955. Consequently we could not return to the site until the summer of 1956. By that time southwestern North Dakota had suffered a year of drouth and ants (except P. occidentalis) were scarce and hard to find. We revisited the same hillside and literally \"left no stone unturned\"; in act we turned them over twice--the second time after the late summer rains. But we found no trace of the

New Ant-lions from the Southwestern United States (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)

Abstract: Biological Laboratories, Harvard University In the course of identifying material from the Southwest, the writer has encountered several new species and a new genus of Myrmeleontidae. Descriptions of these are given below, with a list and key to the species of the genus Eremoleon Banks. Sources of specimens are designated by the following abbreviations\" CAS, California Academy of Sciences; CI,S, California Insect Survey, University of California, Berkeley; UCD, University of California, Davis; UCR, University of California, Riverside; UCLA, University of California at Los Angeles; LAM, Los Angeles County Museum; MCZ, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard. The kindness of the staffs of these institutions in lending material is gratefully acknowledged. The terminology .of the wing venation as used herein differs from the usual system (summarized by Markl) in several fundamental aspects. Markl’s study is an excellent and invaluable treatment of the comparative morphology of the wing of the ant-lions, but unfortunately his scope, a tribal revision, was so large as to have discouraged detailed investigation of venation in other families. The best clues to the homologies of the myrmeleontoid wing are to be fcuncl in the primitive myrmeleonoidsthe Osmylidae and the Myiodactylidae. A thorough account of the reasons for the adoption of the present system will be given in a forthcoming paper, dealing with the venation .of the order as a whole. In both wings, MA has become coalesced with Rs; the \"basal piece\" (Figure 8, \"b\") is to be seen at the base of the fore wing between R and MP. In the hind wing the basal Published with t.he aid of a grant from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard College. Markl, W., 1954, Verh. d. Nturforschenden Ges. Basel 65:178-263.

Studies on the North American Representatives of Ephebomyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Abstract: Pogonomyrmex (Ephebomyrmex) imberbiculus was described by W. M. Wheeler in 1902 and seven years later he added the descriptions of pima and townsendi. Since that time there has been surprisingly little additional inf.ormation published on these interesting ants. What has appeared has consisted largely .of locality records, but few of these have added much to our knowledge of the ranges of these insects. It is gratifying to be able to present a more complete picture of the distribution of our representatives of Ephebomyrmex, particularly since this clears up certain questions related to the taxonomic status of townsendi. It has also been possible to expand Wheeler’s account of the habits of imberbiculus, for it appears that these same habits are true of pima also. In past years the writer has been able to study 53 colonies of Ephebomyrmex at 40 stations. This study has shown that the ranges of both imberbiculus and pima are much more extensive than was formerly supposed. It has also shown that townsendi is a synonym of imberbiculus. Wheeler described townsendi in 1909 (1) on the basis of a single specimen from Chihuahua. It is hard to avoid the suspicion that one .of Wheeler’s reasons for giving townsendi specific status is the fact that the type specimen came from Mexico. .Certainly the structural features which distinguish townsendi from imberbiculus are not partictflarly impressive. They consist mainly of the sculptur.e of the postpetiole and the first gastric segment. Wheeler believed that in imberbiculus the postpetiole is

Übertragung und Gegenübertragung

Abstract: Die analytische Situation liefert den Schlusselreiz fur die Herstellung der Ubertragung. Die Kanalisierung der Affekte des Patienten auf den Analytiker macht die Ubertragung moglich und fordert sie, bis sie schlieslich in eine Ubertragungsneurose einmundet. Im Gegensatz zum Ubertragungsverhalten steht das Ich-gerechte, realitatsangepaste, naturliche Verhalten, das, was wir eben das alltagliche Benehmen des sogenannten normalen Menschen nennen. Zu diesem fuhrt in der Neurosen-Therapie die Losung der Ubertragungsbeziehung, die ihre Energien aus dem Es bezieht. Damit wird das Ziel erreicht, das Freud uns mit den Worten setzte: »Wo Es war, soll Ich werden.« Die Gegenubertragung im Analytiker entspricht der Ubertragung im Patienten. Gegenubertragung ist eine notwendige Voraussetzung der psychoanalytischen Therapie. Ihre richtige therapeutische Verwendung erfolgt in drei Schritten: 1. In Reaktion auf das Unbewuste des Patienten steigen im Analytiker Derivate seines eigenen Unbewusten auf und er wird ihrer gewahr. 2. Das Gewahrwerden dieser Derivate erlaubt ihm, auf die in ihm selbst stattfindenden unbewusten Vorgange zu schliesen. 3. Die Einsicht in seine eigenen unbewusten Prozesse erlaubt dem Analytiker nun, eine vorubergehende Identifizierung mit jenen unbewusten Prozessen im Patienten zu vollbringen, die seine eigene bewuste Reaktion hervorgerufen haben. Der Freiheitsgrad, der dem Analytiker dies ermoglicht, ist eben jener, von dem Freud im obigen Zitate sprach. Es ist die Freiheit des Analytikers, die es ihm gestattet, Einsicht in das Unbewuste des Patienten zu gewinnen.

The First Species of Pamphantinae From Puerto Rico (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)

Abstract: The subfamily Pamphantinae was erected by Barber & Bruner (1933) with Pamphantus Stal as type genus. Prior to. that time only three species were known, all fr.om Cuba. Barber & Bruner described a new genus, Neopamphantus, also from Cuba, and recorded a new species, Pamphantus atrohumeralis, from Haiti. Barber has recently (1954a) described a remarkable new Cuban genus, Abpamphantus and in the same year (1954b) a second new genus, Pa.rapamphantus, from Brazil, this latter representing the first occurrence of the subfamily outside of the West Indies. The new species described in the present paper is the, first species known from Puerto Rico and adds an additi.onal island to the distributi.on of this essentially Caribbean group.

Anmerkungen zur psychoanalytischen Triebtheorie

Abstract: 1. Die Wissenschaft mus gleichartige aufbauende (vereinigende) und zerstorende (auflosende) Krafte in der leblosen Materie, in lebenden Organismen und im psychischen Leben annehmen, wenn auch jeweils in verschiedenen Formen. 2. Fur praktische Zwecke allein konnen wir vorlaufig eine Revision der Terminologie der Triebtheorie vorschlagen, indem wir den Ausdruck »Trieb« fur psychologische und den Ausdruck »Kraft« oder »Strebung« fur die ihnen zugrunde liegenden somatischen Phanomene reservieren. 3. Aggressive und destruktive Handlungen mussen psychologisch in bezug auf ihre mannigfachen Determinanten untersucht werden, aber die Fahigkeit zur Ausfuhrung der Handlungen mus in den zugrunde liegenden allgemeinen Kraften gesucht werden. 4. Die Theorie Freuds von den Lebens- und Todestrieben (von den sexuellen und destruktiven Strebungen) ist in diesem Licht gesehen nicht »mystischer« oder »verwirrender« als jede andere Hypothese in jeder beliebigen Wissenschaft. Weitere Untersuchungen werden uber ihren Wert als Arbeitshypothese zu entscheiden haben.
