In this paper a key to families, subfamilies, tribes and genera of the superfamily Curculionoidea excluding Scolytidae, Platypodidae and Cossoninae is given. Scolytidae and Platypodidae have been studied by Dr. Jozo Murayama and Mr. Akira Nobuchi, and the revision of the subfamily Cossoninae will be published before long by Dr. Masayasu Konishi.

Various taxonomically useful profiles of four dehydrogenases (lactate, malate, glucose-6-phosphate, and a-glycerophosphate) and three hydrolases (acid and alkaline phosphatase and esterase) were detected in whole nematode homogenates of Meloidogynejavanica, M. hapla, M. incognita, M. arenaria, Ditylenchus dipsaci, D. triformis, Heterodera glycines,...

The family Heteroderidae, its two subfamilies Heteroderinae and Meloidogyninae and the nominal genera of Heteroderinae (Heterodera Schmidt, 1871; Meloidodera Chitwood, Hannon &Esser, 1956; and Cryphodera Colbran, 1966) are rediagnosed. Meloidoderita Pogosyan, 1966 is considered a genus inquirenda. Two new genera from southern California are describ...
Models are introduced which predict ratios of mean levels of genetic divergence in species-rich versus species-poor phylads under two competing assumptions: (1) genetic differentiation is a function of time, unrelated to the number of cladogenetic events and (2) genetic differentiation is proportional to the number of speciation events in the group...
The effects of restrictions of available character space on the mean morphological distance between living members of evolutionary phylads are examined by Monte Carlo simulation. The approach involves specifying the degree to which ancestor-descendant species may differ and limiting the range of attainable character states within a phylad. Morpholo...

Human lactotransferrin contains two prosthetic sugar groups situated in two different cyanogen bromide fragments: the amino acid sequences around the two polysaccharide attachment sites were established. The location of the prosthetic groups was quite different in serum and lactotransferrins and no sequence homology could so far be characterized be...

The amino acid sequence of the major β-chain of armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus) haemoglobin was determined by Edman degradation on tryptic peptides and cyanogenbromide fragments. Among the many substitutions as compared to other β-chains, most notable are six replacements in the α 1β 1 contact and the replacement 2 His → Asn , which will interfer...
L'analyse de l'usure est utilisée en archéologie et en paléoanthropologie pour identifier quelle a été la fonction des outils et des dents. Les caractéristiques des dommages de surface observés au microscope contribuent à améliorer notre connaissance du mode de vie de l'homme préhistorique. L'analyse des aspects des microtraces présentes sur les su...
