SynopsisThe genus Cordulegaster is represented in Sicily by two species. From an examination of material recently collected there and from evidence in the literature it is concluded that one has previously been misidentified, here named C. boltonii trinacriae ssp. nov.: the other is the little-known C. bidentatus sicilicus Fraser, 1929. A key to males of the Old World species of Cordulegaster is provided and lectotypes for C. boltonii algiricus Morton, C. princeps Morton, C. insignis amasinus Morton, C. insignis nobilis Morton, C. coronatus Morton and a neotype for C. charpentieri (Kolenati) are designated.

In a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the Old World species of Symplocos (Symplocaceae) many infraspecific taxa were recognized within S. macrophylla, but subsequently most of these have been either moved to other species or recognized at the species rank. Following this trend, we provide herewith morphological evidence to warrant the elevation of S. macrophylla subsp. namboodiriana to the species rank. Symplocos namboodiriana comb. & stat. nov. differs from the other subspecies of S. macrophylla in its 1-flowered inflorescences (versus multi-flowered), shorter bracts, and 4 to 6 secondary leaf veins (versus longer bracts and 6 to 13 secondary veins). We provide an updated description of the species along with photographic images of live specimens and a conservation threat assessment.

The New World species attributed to the genus Malaxa Melichar (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Delphacidae) are reviewed with special reference to the type species Malaxa acutipennis from the Philippines. We provide an amended diagnosis for Malaxa acutipennis contrasted with the genus delineation presented for Chinese Malaxa, most recently by Hou et al. (2013). We find Malaxa to be an Old World genus and segregate New World species into two new genera, Lamaxa and Xalama, diagnosed most readily by proportions of the antennae and features of the terminalia. Both Lamaxa and Xalama are uncommonly encountered. Lamaxa is distributed widely through the Neotropics, whereas Xalama is heretofore known only from Bolivia and Peru.

Herina odnosumi sp. nov. from Afghanistan is described and illustrated. Herina odnosumi sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other Old World species by its predominantly reddish yellow body, acute flagellomere 1 and yellow to brown wing pattern. The other Central Asian species, H. monticola (Stackelberg, 1945), previously known from a Russian brief original description and a short illustrated note on its taxonomic position in is also redescribed. A key to the two species of Herina Robineau-Desvoidy occurring in Central Asia is provided.

This research is an examination and a study on the influence of rewards on job satisfaction of lecturers at Shinas College of Technology (ShCT). In academic industry, rewards are one of the factors that affecting job satisfaction of the employees and this will lead to affect their performance in their jobs. So, when rewards are more the job satisfaction will be high and when rewards are less the job satisfaction will be less. On the other hand, the age will not affect the job satisfaction. Previous research reveals that Job satisfaction is very important to success the industry and the rewards are the main factors which affect job satisfaction. The main purpose of this study is to know the influence of rewards in job satisfaction among the lecturers in ShCT. Moreover, this research attempts to identify how much rewards affect the job satisfaction in ShCT.  For this study used two types of data which are: primary data and secondary data. The sources of primary data is the response from lecturers at ShCT. It is collected through structured questionnaire and distributed such to 60 respondents.

Paine showed throughout his career a historically well-informed awareness of the shortcomings of English monarchs after 1688 and 1714, whom he regarded as usurpers: it was a practical critique that fed his antipathy to monarchy in general. Rather than republicanism, this chapter establishes Paine’s personal links with the ‘Patriot’ opposition to Sir Robert Walpole’s ministry, a movement that had a religiously freethinking element and drew on reconfigured Jacobitism. By contrast, Paine employed none of the other political languages available to him. Instead, Paine spoke a language of anti-Jacobitism; this chapter explores how many of his contemporaries trod a path ‘from Jacobite to Jacobin’. Nor were these old world preoccupations only; this chapter shows how they were shared in the American colonies.
