Furthermore, three species, Deuteraphorura boneti (Gisin, 1953), Deuteraphorura akelaris (Jordana &amp;amp;amp; Beruete, 1983) and Spinonychiurus vandeli (Cassagnau, 1960), are redescribed based on type and new material to furnish the description of some characters, especially concerning the chaetotaxy, not considered in the original description.

The specimens were found in the Bonet collembolan collection at the "Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales" of Madrid (Spain). Entomomobrya boneti n. sp. was found in three slides containing 11, 4 and 1 specimens respectively, from the "Cueva del Castillo", Puente el Viesgo (Santander). Entomobrya luquei n. sp. was found in a slide with 11 specimens from "Cueva de Cuetu-Lledías", Llanes (Asturias). The species are described considering a set of 39 morphological and chaetotaxy characters. Both species appear to be troglophiles by the pigment reduction, although there are no other troglomorphic characters present. The gut content is composed of organic matter and fungus spores.

Se han recogido 72 muestras en 60 puntos diferentes utilizando dos métodos de muestreo completamente diferentes: trampa 'Malasia' y captura directa con manga entomológica. La extracción ha sido directa bajo lupa binocular y se han separado 7.268 mimáridos de un total de 94.038 insectos y otros artrópodos. Representan el 7.72% del total. Estos mimáridos han sido clasificados y separados en 37 especies y 11 géneros diferentes. Los géneros Anagrus HALIDAY, 1833 y Gonatocerus NEES, 1834 han aparecido como los más relacionados con el cultivo del maíz en Navarra y dos de sus especies las más distribuidas por todo el territorio, en concreto Anagrus (Anagrus) atomus (LINNAEUS), 1767 y Gonatocerus litoralis HALIDAY, 1833. Se ha comprobado asimismo la presencia de la especie de cicadélido Zyginidia scutellaris (HERRICH-SCHÄFFER), 1838 (Homoptera, Cicadellidae) en todos los campos de maíz de Navarra. Dieciocho de las especies capturadas han aparecido escasamente representadas (ocho de ellas con un sólo individuo). Se ha comprobado la elevada presencia de insectos y de otros artrópodos en los campos de maíz debido a la ausencia de tratamientos químicos contra los insectos perjudiciales.

Effect of anaerobiosis, dinitrophenol and fluoride on the active intestinal transport of galactose in snail

PubMed, Jun 1, 1975

The active transport of galactose across the intestinal wall (everted sacs) of the snail Cryptomp... more The active transport of galactose across the intestinal wall (everted sacs) of the snail Cryptomphalus hortensis Müller has been studied in vitro, under several metabolic conditions. Anaerobiosis does not change the serosal/mucosal galactose gradients which are developed in oxygen atmosphere. Dinitrophenol (10(-4) M) greatly increased the O2 uptake by the tissue and clearly inhibits the sugar transport. At 5 times 10(-4) M concentration, DNP totally prevents the uphill transport while the O2 uptake is normal. The inhibition produced by DNP does not increase by anaerobiosis. Fluoride inhibits the galactose transport and also the O2 uptake. It is deduced that in snail intestine the energy for the active transport of galactose can be supplied by aerobic as much as by anaerobic metabolism. The inhibition by dinitrophenol seems to be independent of its uncoupling action on the oxidative phosphorylation. The inhibitory effect of NaF may be due both to glycolisis inhibition and to alteration of the digestive epithelium.
