The fourth instar larva and pupa of Bezzia blantoni Spinelli & Wirth (1989) are described, illustrated and photomicrographed by using phase-contrast microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The larva, which shows features typical to carnivorous larvae, is compared with that of B. roldani Spinelli & Wirth. The species is recorded for the first time from the Martín García island, located in the La Plata river between Argentina and Uruguay. Details of the biology traits, breeding location and feeding behavior are given.

As the American market developed a voracious appetite for mahjong, in 1923 Chinese and Western merchants launched new kinds of large-scale factories in Shanghai that standardized production with artisanal workmanship. Mahjong factories encompassed multiple paradoxes, implementing old-world aesthetics and “primitive” techniques in a factory model that advertised its modernity. The mahjong craze sparked the development of hybrid forms of production and helped shape a key period in the evolving economic and cultural relationship between China and the United States. Mahjong marked a significant change in Americans’ increasingly direct economic and cultural engagement with China. For the first time, Americans jumped on a Chinese good on their own, rather than in response to European tastemakers. Manufacturing mahjong presented one of the troubling challenges of modernity: how to translate the sensory and class-based satisfactions of artisanal and natural materials while still fulfilling modern promises of cleanliness, safety, and efficiency.

The fourth instar larva and pupa of Culicoides debilipalpis Lutz, 1913 are described, illustrated, and photomicrographed from material collected in tree-holes of Salix sp. in Entre Rios Province, Argentina by using binocular, phase-contrast, and scanning electron microscopy. Measurements of instars I–IV are also presented. The larva shows features typical to carnivorous-predatory larvae, as well as characters typical of larvae occurring in tree holes and clean water. Details on larval biology, habitat, and feeding behavior are given.

The male genitalia, pupa and fourth-instar larva are illustrated. Information on distribution, bionomics and taxonomy is also included. Psorophora pallescens adults differ from the other species of the subgenus in the coloration of the scutum and abdomen. The larva can be distinguished from Psorophora ciliata based on characters of the head, thorax and abdomen.

Sabethes (Sabethoides) glaucodaemon was described for the first time by Dyar & Shannon (1925) based on the adult female. Later, descriptions of the male genitalia and parts of the fourth-instar larva and pupa were published by other authors. No one has described the female genitalia or made a complete description of the larva and pupa. The aim of this study was to redescribe Sa. glaucodaemon in the adult stage, including the male and female genitalia, and the pupa and fourth-instar larva. All stages are illustrated. Distinctions from Sa. (Sbo.) tridentatus are discussed.

AbstractLarvae of the chironomid Nanocladius (Plecopteracoluthus) branchicolus Sæther were found living phoretically with nymphs of the stonefly Acroneuria lycorias (Newman). The male and fourth instar larva of N. (P.) branchicolus are described for the first time. The stonefly and chironomid were found in streams in central and northern Saskatchewan forests. Of six Saskatchewan Perlidae species, the chironomid was associated only with A. lycorias. The chironomid most often occurred beneath stonefly wing pads. In the laboratory chironomid pupation lasted about 2 days with emergence occurring about 2 days prior to stonefly emergence.
