The gene map of the rabbit. III. α and β casein gene synteny

We are developing the gene map of the rabbit using DNA probes which allow us to investigate non-expressed genes. We have characterized an α and β casein gene synteny have found that neither the α and β casein genes nor the whey acidic protein gene have a syntenic relationship with the other chromosome markers already investigated in our laboratory. Moreover, with the β casein probe we have detected a simple allelic Eco RI restriction-site polymorphism.Nous développons la carte génique du lapin en utilisant des sondes d’ADN cloné qui, par hybridation moléculaire, permettent de caractériser les gènes indépendamment de leur expression. Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous avons mis en évidence une synténie entre les gènes de la caséine α et de la caséine β. Aucune relation de synténie n’a été observée entre les gènes des caséines α et β, ou le gène de la protéine acide du lactosérum et les autres marqueurs chromosomiques déjà étudiés au laboratoire. Les résultats obtenus avec la sonde caséine β montrent un polymorphisme au locus de ce gène sous la dépendance d’un couple d’allèles

New taxa and new records of Oemini Lacordaire, 1868 and Ectenessini Martins, 1998 from French Guiana (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae)

Four new species and one new genus of Cerambycinae are described from French Guiana: Sphagoeme premarginata sp. nov. and Atenizus apicalis sp. nov. (Oemini); Paraniophis signatipes gen. nov., sp. nov., and Niophis brusteli sp. nov. (Ectenessini).

Descripción del macho de eleoniscus helenae racovitza, 1907 y de armadillidium serrai n.sp. (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Armadillidiidae) de la España oriental

Hom descriu el mascle d'Eleoniscus helenae Racovitza, 1907. La femella fou descrita basant-se en un únic exemplar procedent de la cova de l'Andorial (Alacant). Es tracta d'una espècie interessant des del punt de vista filogenètic, ja que mostra com el gènere Armadillidium Brandt, 1833, ha pogut derivar de formes pertanyents a la família Porcellionidae Verhoeff, 1918. La nova espècie és pròxima a Armadillidium serratum Budde-Lund, 1885, espècie silvícola del nord-est de Catalunya.The male of Eleoniscus helenae Racovitza Racovitza, 1907 is described. The female was described according to the only sample coming from Cueva del Andorial (Alicante). It is a species phylogeneticaly interesting, because it shows that the genus Armadillidium Brandt, 1833, could come from forms belonging to the family Porcellionidae Verhoeff, 1918. The new species is close to Armadillidium serratum Budde-Lund, 1885, a woodland species of the north-east of Catalonia.Se describe el macho de Eleoniscus helenae Racovitza Racovitza, 1907.
