New Synonymy

The world species of the genus Heptascelio Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae) are revised. The generic concept is expanded and the genus is redescribed. Eighteen species are recognized, of which only two were described previously: H. lugens Kieffer (Philippines) and H. striatosternus Narendran & Ramesh Babu (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Madagascar). Both species are redescribed, and H. punctisternus Narendran & Ramesh Babu is considered a junior synonym of H. striatosternus (new synonymy). The following species are described as new: H. albipes Masner, van Noort & Johnson, n.sp. (Cameroon, Gabon, Uganda); H. anthonyi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Zimbabwe); H. aquilinus Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (South Africa); H. bivius Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Indonesia); H. castor Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Indonesia, Malaysia); H. dayi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Indonesia); H. dispar Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Botswana, Namibia, South Africa); H. hamatus Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan); H. lateralis Johnson, van Noort & Masner (Central African Republic, Gabon); H. noyesi Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Madagascar); H. orarius Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Madagascar); H. paralugens Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Philippines); H. sicarius Johnson & Musetti, n.sp. (Madagascar), H. strigatus Masner, Johnson & van Noort, n.sp. (Gabon, Central African Republic); H. teres Johnson & Masner, n.sp. (Madagascar), and H. watshami Masner & Johnson, n.sp. (Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe). Heptascelio watshami has been reared from the eggs of Plagiotriptus pinivorus Descamps (Orthoptera: Thericleidae), a pest of pine. An electronic version of the identification key is available at WaspWeb at http://www.waspweb.org/ Platygastroidea/Keys/. The electronic version of this document has been formatted with embedded links to additional resources available online via the internet both to enhance the content and as a demonstration of the utility of international standards for biodiversity informatics.

Peace And Security

This article discusses aspects of Namibia’s foreign policy principles and how they impact on the values of democracy, and issue of peace and security in the region. The article will focus on the attainment of peace in Angola, democratisation of South Africa, and security situations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar and Lesotho. The main question of this article is: To what extent has Namibia realised the objectives encapsulated in her foreign policy principles of striving for international peace and security and promote the values of democracy in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region? The assumption is that though relatively a newly established state, Namibia has made her contribution towards democracy, peace and security in the Southern Africa region and the world at large.

The afrotropical species of the subgenus Microserrullula netolitzky, 1921, of the genus Odontium LeConte, 1848 are here revised. We redescribe the three-known species, Odontium aegyptiacum (Dejean, 1831), O. icterodes (Alluaud, 1933) and O. pogonopsis (Alluaud, 1933), and describe four new species: Odontium australe n. sp. (Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar, South africa); Odontium basilewskyi n. sp. (Democratic Republic of Congo); Odontium okavangum n. sp. (angola, namibia, Zambia); Odontium clarkei n. sp. (Ethiopia). A key for the identification of the african species of the subgenus Microserrullula is presented.

Change Mitigation

This paper examines counterfactual display in the valuation of carbon offsetting projects. Considered a legitimate way to encourage climate change mitigation, such projects rely on the establishment of procedures for the prospective assessment of their capacity to become carbon sinks. This requires imagining possible worlds and assessing their plausibility. The world inhabited by the project is articulated through conditional formulation and subjected to what we call “counterfactual display”: the production and circulation of documents that demonstrate and con!gure the counterfactual valuation. We present a case study on one carbon offsetting reforestation project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We analyse the construction of the scene that allows the “What would have happened” question to make sense and become actionable. We highlight the operations of calculative framing that this requires, the reality constraints it relies upon, and the entrepreneurial conduct it stimulates.
