Abstract:
Assassin flies (Diptera: Asilidae) inject paralysing venom into insect prey during hunting, but their venoms are poorly characterised in comparison to those produced by spiders, scorpions, or hymenopteran insects. Here we investigated the composition of the venom of the giant Australian assassin fly Dolopus genitalis using a combination of insect microinjection assays, calcium imaging assays of mammalian sensory neurons, proteomics and transcriptomics. Injection of venom into blowflies (Lucilia cuprina) produced rapid contractile paralysis (PD50 at 1 min = 3.1 μg per fly) followed by death, an

Abstract:
The Canary Archipelago is home to two species of obligately cavernicolous assassin bugs of the genus Collartida Villiers, 1949 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae: Collartidini). These species are highly adapted for cave life, being blind and wingless. In the present study, we describe a new species of the genus, C. phantasma sp. nov. from the Federica mine in Gran Canaria. C. phantasma sp. nov. differs from the other two Collartida species found in the Canary Archipelago in that the male is fully winged, the female is wingless, and both sexes have well-developed eyes.

Abstract:
The genus Grypoctonus Speiser, 1928 (Diptera: Asilidae) is a fuzzy-looking assassin fly, and adults have only been observed in autumn and winter. Currently containing four described species, this genus is readily distinguished from other Chinese asilids by the presence of two r-m crossveins. Through integrative taxonomic analysis of over 200 specimens from multiple Chinese provinces, we combined morphological assessment with DNA barcoding and four species delimitation methods (ABGD, ASAP, mPTP, and GMYC). Four species are newly described: G. aureus sp. nov., G. sagittatus sp. nov., G. solarius

Abstract:
The asilid genus Laphyctis Loew, 1858 is revised. The genus is restricted to the Afrotropical Region where it has been confused with the more widely distributed Laphystia Loew, 1847, which currently has no Afrotropical representatives. Three previously described species are recognised: Laphyctis gigantella (Loew, 1852), type of the genus, Laphyctis argenteofasciata (Engel, 1929), reinstated from the synonymy of L. gigantella, and Laphyctis orichalcea (Lindner, 1973). Two new species are described, Laphyctis eremia sp. n. from Namibia and Laphyctis iota sp. n. from South Africa. The genus has a

Abstract This chapter takes a look at the circuitous development of the Maltby/Shire show Take Flight, which has had productions in Australia, Japan, Russia, London, and Princeton, New Jersey (at the McCarter Theatre) but has never made it to Broadway. Take Flight is a “concept musical” that interweaves the stories of four historical figures famously associated with the human desire to fly: the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart. Take Flight was Maltby and Shire’s second collaboration with John Weidman. Weidman was also Stephen Sondheim’s librettist on Assassins, another co

Abstract In March 1958 the government of Félix Gaillard was shaken by serious unrest within the ranks of the Paris police force, a crisis that led to the removal of the Prefect of Police Lahillone and his replacement by Maurice Papon. On Thursday 13 March a mass rally to protest about failure to pay a ‘danger bonus’ got out of hand and some 2,000 officers, incited and led by right-wing elements, marched from the Prefecture to the National Assembly shouting, ‘Dides au pouvoir!’, ‘Fellagas assassins!’, and anti-Semitic slogans.
