Published: November 2019

A new minute riffle beetle genus Ictelmis gen. nov. and the type species Ictelmis martae sp. nov. are described from Ecuador. The description is supported by characteristic morphological features and DNA barcoding data, drawings and habitus photographs are provided. Based on molecular data and morphology it is suggested that Ictelmis is closely related with Onychelmis Hinton, and Notelmis Hinton.

Bioluminescence imaging is a well-established platform for evaluating engineered cell therapies in preclinical studies. However, despite the discovery of new luciferases and substrates, optimal combinations to simultaneously monitor two cell populations remain limited. This makes the functional assessment of cellular therapies cumbersome and expensive, especially in preclinical models.
