    Introduction : L'Afrique continue de souffrir du fardeau impressionnant de maladies infectieuses et fait face Ă  une explosion de maladies non transmissibles (MNT) depuis des dĂ©cennies. Au BĂ©nin, des Ă©tudes sur l’HTA et la diabète ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es, mais aucune d’elles n’a abordĂ© en profondeur le cas de la survenue d’une comorbiditĂ©. Il existe peu de donnĂ©es Ă©pidĂ©miologiques dĂ©taillĂ©es sur les comorbiditĂ©s hypertension-diabète permettant de dĂ©terminer clairement l'Ă©tendue de ces troubles. L’objectif de notre recherche est d’étudier les aspects Ă©pidĂ©miologique, clinique et itinĂ©raire thĂ©rapeutique de la comorbiditĂ© de l’hypertension artĂ©rielle et du diabète dans le dĂ©partement du littoral au BĂ©nin en 2023. MĂ©thodes : Une Ă©tude transversale descriptive en population gĂ©nĂ©rale a Ă©tĂ© menĂ©e du de trois (03) mois allant 10 avril au 10 juillet 2023 auprès de 543 sujets âgĂ©s de 18 ans et plus dans le dĂ©partement du Littoral ayant ou non un antĂ©cĂ©dent d’HTA et/ou de diabète.  Un Ă©chantillonnage probabiliste avec la technique de sondage par grappes de l’OMS a Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©. Les donnĂ©es ont Ă©tĂ© analysĂ©es Ă  l'aide du logiciel R 3.6.1 avec l'environnement RStudio. Les variables quantitatives ont Ă©tĂ© exprimĂ©es en moyenne avec leur Ă©cart type et les variables qualitatives en proportion. RĂ©sultats : L’âge moyen de la population Ă©tait de 57 ans ± 8. La population Ă©tudiĂ©e Ă©tait Ă  prĂ©dominance fĂ©minine (56,2%). Sur les 543 sujets enquĂŞtĂ©s un total de 48 souffrait Ă  la fois du diabète et d’HTA soit une prĂ©valence de comorbiditĂ© de 8,8%. La plupart des sujets comorbides ont une consommation de fruits et lĂ©gumes entre 1 et 4 portions par jour et la majoritĂ© (75,0%) estime consommer juste la bonne quantitĂ© de sel tandis-que 10,4% environ reconnait en consommer trop. Pour la prĂ©paration des repas, l’huile vĂ©gĂ©tale est la matière grasse la plus utilisĂ©e Ă  95,9% par les sujets comorbides. Sur plan des activitĂ©s physique, plus de la moitiĂ© (56,2%) des sujets comorbides  pratiquaient une activitĂ© physique lĂ©gère et le niveau habituel d’activitĂ© physique Ă©tait inactif chez 64,6%. Dans l’itinĂ©raire thĂ©rapeutique des sujets comorbides, environ 15% des sujets avaient dĂ©jĂ  vu un guĂ©risseur traditionnel pour la prise en charge d’au moins une des deux affections. Conclusion : Cette Ă©tude a permis d’observer une forte prĂ©valence de la comorbiditĂ© HTA diabète dans une population adulte de Cotonou au BĂ©nin. Cette comorbiditĂ© nĂ©cessite donc une intensification de la prĂ©vention de l’HTA et du diabète notamment une bonne hygiène de vie.   Introduction: Africa continues to suffer from an impressive burden of infectious diseases and has been facing an explosion of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for decades. In Benin, studies on hypertension and diabetes have been carried out, but none of them has looked in depth at the occurrence of comorbidity. There is little detailed epidemiological data on hypertension-diabetes comorbidities to clearly determine the extent of these disorders. The aim of our study is to investigate the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of co-morbidity of hypertension and diabetes in the coastal department of Benin in 2023. Methods: A general population descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of three (03) months from 10 April to 10 July 2023 among 543 subjects aged 18 years and over in the Littoral department with or without a history of hypertension and/or diabetes.  Probability sampling using the WHO cluster sampling technique was used. The data were analysed using R 3.6.1 software with the RStudio environment. Quantitative variables were expressed as the mean with standard deviation, and qualitative variables as a proportion. Results: The mean age of the population was 57 ± 8 years. The study population was predominantly female (56.2%). Of the 543 subjects surveyed, a total of 48 suffered from both diabetes and hypertension, representing a comorbidity prevalence of 8.8%. Most of the comorbid subjects consumed between 1 and 4 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, and the majority (75.0%) felt that they consumed just the right amount of salt, while around 10.4% admitted to consuming too much. For meal preparation, vegetable oil is the fat most commonly used by co-morbid subjects (95.9%). In terms of physical activity, more than half (56.2%) of co-morbid subjects were engaged in light physical activity, while 64.6% were inactive. In the therapeutic itinerary of co-morbid subjects, around 15% had already seen a traditional healer for the treatment of at least one of the two conditions. Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of co-morbidity of hypertension and diabetes in an adult population in Cotonou, Benin. This co-morbidity therefore calls for intensified prevention of hypertension and diabetes, in particular good lifestyle habits

Hong Kong: (paratype) on Urena lobata (Malvaceae), 23 -VIII- 1960, E. Swirski. Remarks. There is a controversy in relation to the status of several species of Paraphytoseius (Chant & McMurtry, 2003 b). Denmark et al. (1999) and Matthysse & Denmark (1981) considered P. horrifer to be a junior synonym of P. orientalis (= multidentatus), but Chant & McMurtry (2003 b) preferred to consider them different species until the respective type specimens are compared side by side. Our examination of the holotype of P. horrifer and of a paratype of P. multidentatus at different times indicates that the major differences between them are that the former has longer (ca. 20 %) Z 4, Z 5 and s 4, and lacks: a distinctly short, thick, spatulate seta on genu I; macrosetae on leg III; and a short, thick, blunt or knobbed seta on both genu and tibia IV. The specimens of P. horrifer collected in the present study have a short blunt seta on basitarsus IV and sometimes on femur IV (both apparently absent in the holotype of P. horrifer).
