Tisamenus (insect)
The genus ''Tisamenus'' native to the Philippines combines small to medium-sized species of stick insects. Taxonomy In 1875 Carl Stål established the genus ''Tisamenus'' in addition to the genus '' Hoploclonia''. For this he specified as type species '' Tisamenus serratorius'' described by him in the same work. He also transferred a species described in 1848 as ''Phasma (Pachymorpha) deplanatum'' (today's name '' Tisamenus deplanatus'') into this genus. At the same time he transferred with ''Acanthoderus draconinus'' (today valid name '' Tisamenus draconina'') a Filipino species into the genus '' Hoploclonia''. James Abram Garfield Rehn and his son John William Holman Rehn described the genus ''Ilocano'' for ''Ilocano hebardi'' in 1939. Although they discussed the special position of the two ''Hoploclonia'' species already known from Borneo, they synonymized ''Tisamenus'' with ''Hoploclonia''. Therefore they transferred all seven previously known ''Tisamenus'' species, as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tisamenus Serratorius
''Tisamenus serratorius'' is a Phasmatodea, stick insect species that occurs on the Philippines, Philippine island Luzon. Taxonomy In 1875, Carl Stål described ''Tisamenus serratorius'' in the genus ''Tisamenus (insect), Tisamenus'', which he also described, using a female from the collection of Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl. This is today the holotype of the species and is deposited in the Natural History Museum, Vienna. The species name derives from Latin en "serrato "for sawn off and refers to the sawtooth-like reinforced side edges of the thorax. In 1904, William Forsell Kirby established ''Tisamenus serratorius'' as the type species of the genus. In 1939 the genus ''Tisamenus'' was Synonym (taxonomy), synonymized with the genus ''Hoploclonia'', whereby the species initially named as ''Hoploclonia serratoria'' and later as ''Hoploclonia serratorius''. At the same time the genus ''Hoploclonia'' was divided into different groups according to morphology (biology), morphological a ...

Tisamenus Hebardi
Tisamenus (Ancient Greek: Τισαμενός) is the name of several people in classical history and mythology: * ''Mythology'' **Tisamenus (son of Orestes), mythological king of Argos, and son of Orestes and Hermione. **Tisamenus (King of Thebes), a king of Thebes, son of Thersander and Demonassa.Pausanias9.5.15/ref> *''History'' ** Tisamenus of Elis, son of Antiochus, an ancient Greek seer and grandfather of the seer Agias of Sparta **Tisamenus, a descendant apparently of the above, who took part in the conspiracy of Cinadon, and was put to death for it in 397 BC.

Genetic Analysis
Genetic analysis is the overall process of studying and researching in fields of science that involve genetics and molecular biology. There are a number of applications that are developed from this research, and these are also considered parts of the process. The base system of analysis revolves around general genetics. Basic studies include identification of genes and inherited disorders. This research has been conducted for centuries on both a large-scale physical observation basis and on a more microscopic scale. Genetic analysis can be used generally to describe methods both used in and resulting from the sciences of genetics and molecular biology, or to applications resulting from this research. Genetic analysis may be done to identify genetic/inherited disorders and also to make a differential diagnosis in certain somatic diseases such as cancer. Genetic analyses of cancer include detection of mutations, fusion genes, and DNA copy number changes. History of genetic analysi ...

Morphology (biology)
Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, colour, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy), as well as the form and structure of the internal parts like bones and organs, i.e. internal morphology (or anatomy). This is in contrast to physiology, which deals primarily with function. Morphology is a branch of life science dealing with the study of gross structure of an organism or taxon and its component parts. History The etymology of the word "morphology" is from the Ancient Greek (), meaning "form", and (), meaning "word, study, research". While the concept of form in biology, opposed to function, dates back to Aristotle (see Aristotle's biology), the field of morphology was developed by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1790) and independently by the German anatomist and physiologist Karl Friedrich Burdach ...

Tisamenus Ranarius
''Tisamenus ranarius'' is a stick insect species (Phasmatodea), in the Family (Biology), family of the Heteropterygidae native to the Philippines. Description Only females are known of this species. These reach a length of and have remarkably few spines for a ''Tisamenus (insect), Tisamenus'' species. The triangle on the mesonotum typical of the genus is only indicated and hardly recognizable. Rather, it consists of slightly curved crests on the mesonotum. The Antenna (biology), antennae are very short and consist of 16 to 17 segments. Tuberculous spines are found only on the pronotum and head, where they are formed as suborbitals. The front angles of the pronotum are pointed. The Mesothorax, meso- and metathorax form a trapezoid that widens backwards, to which the Abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen attaches approximately the width of the anterior edge of the mesonotum. A distinct longitudinal crest runs from the anterior edge of the mesonotum over the metanotum to the end of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia le ...

Borneo
Borneo (; id, Kalimantan) is the third-largest island in the world and the largest in Asia. At the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, in relation to major Indonesian islands, it is located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra. The island is politically divided among three countries: Malaysia and Brunei in the north, and Indonesia to the south. Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory. In the north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island. The population in Borneo is 23,053,723 (2020 national censuses). Additionally, the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan is situated on a small island just off the coast of Borneo. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Borneo's land area. A little more than half of the island is in the Northern Hemisphere, including Brunei and the Malaysian portion, while the Indonesian portion spans the Northern and Southern hemisph ...

James Abram Garfield Rehn
James Abram Garfield Rehn (October 26, 1881 – January 25, 1965) was an American entomologist who was a specialist on the New World Orthoptera. He worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, making several collection expeditions around the world on their behalf. Rehn was born in Philadelphia to William and Cornela Loud Rehn. He studied at the Public Industrial Art School and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He took an interest in natural history at a young age and along with several others of his age were encouraged by Charles Willison Johnson, curator of the Wagner Free Institute of Science. He joined the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia as a Jessup student in 1900. Here he met many other naturalists including the ornithologist Witmer Stone from whom Rehn received informal training. Rehn met a 16 year old Morgan Hebard Morgan Hebard (February 23, 1887 – December 28, 1946) was an American entomologist who specialized in orthoptera, and assembl ...

Tisamenus Draconina
''Tisamenus draconinus'' is a species of stick insect in the family Heteropterygidae native to the Philippines. Description The species is elongated and is described as the spiniest of the genus. Females reach a length of and vary in color between dark and light brown. Dark brown specimens sometimes only have a light median line on the thorax. Males are long and are not quite as variable in color. The triangle on the mesonotum typical of the genus is flat and ends, as in '' Tisamenus lachesis'', with interposterior mesonotal spines. The two front angles of the triangle in compound spines forming a toothed crest, the largest element of which is slightly removed from the actual angles. A pair of median metanotals, that is, middle spines on the metanotum, are present. The side edges of the meso- and metanotum are reinforced with long spines. There are only four spines on each side of the mesonatal margins, while there are usually five in similar species. On each side of the met ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Hoploclonia
''Hoploclonia'' is the only genus of the tribe Hoplocloniini and brings together relatively small and darkly coloured Phasmatodea species. Characteristics The representatives of this genus are very small with 35 to 40 mm in the male and 45 to 55 mm in the female sex. Both sexes are always wingless and very thorny. The thorns form a characteristic triangle on the mesothorax. At the front two corner points are created by a pair of widely spaced and, in the females, very flat thorns. While these converge at the front transversely to the body axis and thus form one side of the triangle, the third corner point and the other two sides are created by the thorn edges that taper off flat towards the rear. In this area the males still have a distinct, very close pair of thorns. They are dominated by dark brown, almost black tones, which are complemented by yellow-orange species-specific drawings. The mostly lighter females are less prickly and much more variable in color. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
