Article Abstract
Type specimens of 24 species of Gelechiidae described by E. Meyrick and J. Ghesquière deposited in the Royal Museum for Central Africa are discussed. Adult specimens and genitalia of type specimens are illustrated. Genitalia structures are described for most species. The taxonomic position of each species is reviewed, and the following new combinations are proposed: Stomopteryx achyrobathra (Meyrick, 1933), comb. nov., transferred from Aristotelia; Brachmia cirrhopa (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Proteodoxa; Helcystogramma leucopla (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov. and Helcystogramma neuroplecta (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Brachmia; Helcystogramma synclepta (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Metaplatyntis; Dichomeris craspedotis (Meyrick, 1937), comb. nov., transferred from Trichotaphe; Dichomeris leontovitchi (Ghesquière, 1940), comb. nov., transferred from Cymotricha; Dichomeris pammiges (Ghesquière, 1940), comb. nov., transferred from Gaesa; Dichomeris symbolistis (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Adoxotricha; Dichomeris opalina (Ghesquière, 1940), comb. nov., transferred from Prasodryas; Dichomeris phaeothina (Ghesquière, 1940), comb. nov., transferred from Trichotaphe; Leuronoma allomima (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Gelechia; Photodotis modulatrix (Meyrick, 1938), comb. nov., transferred from Aristotelia. Six new synonyms on the generic and the species level are established: Proteodoxa Meyrick, 1938, syn. nov. of Brachmia Hübner, 1825; Metaplatyntis Meyrick, 1938, syn. nov. of Helcystogramma Zeller, 1877; Adoxotricha Meyrick, 1938, syn. nov. of Dichomeris Hübner, 1818; Gelechia ochrocorys Meyrick, 1936, syn. nov. of Armatophallus exoenota (Meyrick, 1918); Phthorimaea tristrigata Meyrick, 1938, syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa ergasima (Meyrick, 1916); Brachmia leucospora Meyrick, 1938, syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa subroseata (Meyrick, 1932). Lectotypes are designated for Proteodoxa cirrhopa Meyrick, 1938 and Epithectis phaeomicta Meyrick, 1936. The latter species is excluded from Epithectis Meyrick, 1895 but no current genus is available. The monotypic genus Paltoloma Ghesquière, 1940 (type species P. paleata Ghesquière, 1940) is removed from the family Gelechiidae, transferred to the family Lecithoceridae and provisionally placed near Notioseus Park, 2018.

Proposal of Crystallibacter gen. nov., Crystallibacter permensis sp. nov. and Crystallibacter degradans sp. nov. for the salt-tolerant and aromatics degrading actinobacteria, and reclassification of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes as Crystallibacter crystallifaciens comb. nov.

Four salt-tolerant and aromatics degrading strains used in this study were isolated from polluted technogenic soil on the territory of the Verkhnekamsk potash deposit (Russia). The strains were aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-endospore-forming irregular rods, exhibiting a marked rod-coccus growth cycle. They contained lysine-based peptidoglycan, teichulosonic acid and poly(glycosyl phosphate) polymers in the cell walls.

The comb, as a secondary sexual characteristic in chickens, serves as an important indicator of sexual maturity and potential reproductive. This study explored the relationship between comb types and production performance in Tianfu G01 chickens. Single-comb hens exhibited significantly lower laying rates compared to rose-comb hens during specific weeks (24-26, 27-28, 30, 32-34, and 38-43) but had higher average egg weights at 22, 23, 33, and 36-43 weeks.

Monitoring the dynamic behaviors of self-aligning roller bearings (SABs) is vital to guarantee the stability of various mechanical systems. This study presents a novel self-powered, intelligent, and self-aligning roller bearing (I-SAB) with which to monitor rotational speeds and bias angles; it also has an application in fault diagnosis. The designed I-SAB is compactly embedded with a novel sweep-type triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG).

Brush-like graft copolymers (A-g-B), in which linear A-blocks are randomly grafted onto the backbone of a brush-like B-block, exhibit intense strain-stiffening and high mechanical strength on par with load-bearing biological tissues such as skin and blood vessels. To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying this tissue-mimetic behavior, in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering was measured during uniaxial stretching of bottlebrush- and comb-like graft copolymers with varying densities of poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(isobutylene) side chains. In an undeformed state, these copolymers revealed a single interference peak corresponding to the average spacing between the domains of linear A-blocks arranged in a disordered, liquid-like configuration.

During a study on sediment bacterial diversity in coastal China, three bacterial strains, DH-69, EH-24, and ECK-19, were isolated from coastal sediments off Xiaoshi Island, Weihai. These strains were Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, and coccoid to rod-shaped with prosthecae and flagella. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene showed that they shared the highest identity values with Hyphococcus flavus MCCC 1K03223 (96.
