El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio de las descripciones de la danza indígena del centro de México prehispánico según las fuentes coloniales escritas en español, latín y náhuatl. Por primera vez se hace una síntesis completa de la información de los exploradores, misioneros y cronistas españoles y de las fuentes escritas por indígenas o con indígenas acerca de la danza nativa. A través del análisis se puede observar cómo los soldados o conquistadores, los cronistas oficiales de la Corona española y los frailes ofrecieron una visión de acuerdo con sus intereses, creencias y modos de conceptualizar el mundo.Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to study the descriptions of the indigenous dance of Central pre-Hispanic Mexico according to the colonial sources written in Spanish, Latin and Nahuatl. For the first time, a complete synthesis of the information obtained by the Spanish explorers, missionaries, and chroniclers, and of the sources written by indigenous people or with indigenous people about the native dance is made. Through the analysis one can observe how the official chroniclers of the Spanish Crown, the friars and the soldiers or conquerors offered a vision in accordance with their interests, beliefs and their ways of conceptualizing the world.Keywords: dance; New World; Mesoamerican studies; historical records; worldview.Résumé : L’objectif de cet article est l’étude des descriptions de la danse autochtone du Mexique central à l’époque préhispanique selon les sources coloniales écrites en espagnol, latin et nahuatl. Pour la première fois, une synthèse complète est réalisée avec des informations des explorateurs, des missionnaires, des chroniqueurs espagnols ainsi que des sources écrites par, ou avec les peuples autochtones à propos de la danse indigène. Tout au long de cette analyse nous pouvons constater la manière dont les chroniqueurs officiels de la Couronne espagnole, les moines et les soldats ou conquérants ont offert une vision en fonction de leurs intérêts, croyances et façons de conceptualiser le monde.Mots-clés : danse ; Nouveau Monde ; études mésoaméricaines ; sources historiques ; vision du monde.

Cultural Observation

European Calvinists first encountered Native Americans during three brief expeditions of French adventurers to Brazil and Florida during the mid-sixteenth century. Although short-lived and rarely noted, these expeditions produced a remarkable commentary by Huguenots on the Tupinamba people of Brazil and the Timucuan people of Florida. Informed by Calvinist understandings of human nature and humanist approaches to cultural observation, authors such as Jean de Léry produced narratives that posed European and Christian decadence against the sociability and honesty of Native Americans. They used their experiences in America to suggest that Huguenots in France, like indigenous people in America, ought to be tolerated for their civic virtues whatever their doctrinal allegiances. Huguenot travel writings indicate variations in Calvinist approaches to Native peoples from the mid-sixteenth through the seventeenth centuries.

Among New World direct-developing frogs belonging to the clade Brachycephaloidea (= Terraranae), there are several genera with uncertain phylogenetic placements. One notable example is the genus Niceforonia Goin & Cochran 1963, which includes three species that are endemic to Colombia. Three specimens of the species Niceforonia nana were collected and for the first time the genus is included in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial (mtDNA; 12S and 16S) and nuclear (nucDNA; TYR and RAG1) markers. Molecular phylogenetic inference based on concatenated and separate mtDNA and nucDNA analyses recovered Niceforonia nana nested within Hypodactylus Hedges et al. 2008, rendering the latter genus paraphyletic. Consequently, herein we place the genus Hypodactylus in the synonymy of Niceforonia to resolve the paraphyly and place Niceforonia in the subfamily Hypodactylinae. Based on our revised concept of the genus Niceforonia we conducted preliminary morphological comparisons using specimens and literature descriptions. Finally, Nicefornia nana is quite divergent from other species of Niceforonia (uncorrected genetic distances of ca. 10% 16S and 7% TYR) suggesting that further taxonomic revision may be warranted.

Species Occurrences

Current and historic records of species occurrences in particular localities enable researchers to monitor changes in species distribution and abundance. While current fauna can be documented with sufficient effort, missing historical records represent data that can never again be obtained. It is with this importance in mind that we report for the first time records of eight reptile species in Montgomery County, Indiana, USA, that were documented in 1964, though no vouchered specimens persist. These species include: Sternotherus odoratus, Terrapene carolina carolina, Chrysemys picta marginata, Apalone spinifera spinifera, Thamnophis sauritus sauritus, Storeria dekayi wrightorum, Lampropeltis calligaster, Lampropeltis triangulum. We also provide a list of the 23 currently documented reptile species that occur (or have occurred recently) in Montgomery County.

The genus Proceratium Roger comprises rare ants that are irregularly distributed in tropical and temperate regions of the world. Despite this global distribution, these ants are rarely collected, likely due to their cryptobiotic lifestyle. In the New World, the genus comprises 22 known species distributed from Southern Canada to the South of Brazil, and in some Caribbean islands. The taxonomy of the genus Proceratium is here updated for South America. We describe P. amazonicum sp. nov, from Rondônia state and provide distribution data for P. brasiliense, P. convexipes, and P. silaceum. We also present, for the first time, high-resolution images of the P. colombicum type and P. ecuadoriense, and provide a new record of P. micrommatum from Peru, and comment about its morphological variation and distribution. A key for the workers of the P. micrommatum clade is also provided. The species we describe belongs to P. micrommatum clade and represents the second species recorded from Brazil after 60 years, since only P. brasiliense was known previously in the country.

Diversas sociedades han concebido a la naturaleza como un todo integral, una entidad viva. Esta perspectiva ontológica es una forma del ser en el mundo y representa otros caminos de la convivencia con el entorno. Este texto busca aportar elementos para entender la lógica de la percepción del agua en los pueblos mazahuas del Estado de México, a partir de referentes cosmológicos. Desde la perspectiva de la ecofilosofía, estas formas de asumir el entorno nos permiten repensar nuestros fundamentos epistémicos sobre la naturaleza. Metodológicamente, se realizó trabajo de campo en las comunidades mazahuas de la región noroccidente y occidente del Estado de México, principalmente se retomaron localidades cercanas a los ríos Lerma y Cutzamala. A partir de entrevistas a profundidad, recorridos de área e información documental se identificó la percepción del agua, así como los diferentes conflictos por los recursos hídricos y los proyectos de trasvase.Abstract: Various societies have designed nature as an integral whole and as a living entity. This ontological perspective is a form of being in the world and represents other paths of coexistence with the environment. This text seeks to provide elements to understand the perception of water in the Mazahua people of the State of Mexico, from cosmological references. From the perspective of ecophilosophy, these cosmological referents are necessary to rethink our epistemic foundations on nature. Methodologically, fieldwork was carried out in the Mazahua communities of the northwestern and western region, mainly in localities near the Lerma and Cutzamala rivers. Based on in-depth interviews, area tours and documentary information, the perception of water was identified, as well as the different conflicts over water resources and diversion projects.Keywords: water; Indigenous people; ontologies of nature; ecophilosophy; oral narrative.Résumé : Diverses sociétés ont conçu la nature comme un tout intégral, une entité vivante.

Du point de vue de l’écophilosophie, ces les façons d´assumer l´environnement, nous permettent de repenser nos fundements épistémiques sur la nature. Méthodologiquement, des travaux de terrain ont été effectués dans les communautés Mazahua du nord-ouest et de l’ouest du pays, principalement dans les localités proches des rivières Lerma et Cutzamala. À partir d’entretiens approfondis, de visites de zones et d’informations documentaires, la perception de l’eau a été identifiée, ainsi que les différents conflits liés aux ressources en eau et aux projets de dérivation.Mots-clés : l’eau ; peuples autochtones ; ontologies de la nature ; écophilosophie ; récit oral.
