A New State Record for \u3ci\u3eOlixon Banksii\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Rhopalosomatidae) in Missouri.
(excerpt)
The cosmopolitan family Rhopalosmatidae is comprised of four genera and 37 species (Townes 1977, Goulet and Huber 1993, Fernandez and Sarmiento-M 2002, Lohrmann and Ohl 2007)
State Record for Stenamma foveolocephalum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Missouri
We report the first known collection of Stenamma foveolocephalum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Missouri. Two specimens were collected in pitfall traps during a field study at Sand Prairie Conservation Area, Scott County, Missouri
The Stink Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) of Missouri
The stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) fauna of Missouri was last treated more than 70 years ago. Since then, many more specimens have become available for study, substantial papers on regional faunas have been published, and many revisions and other taxonomic changes have taken place. As a consequence, 40% of the names from the previous Missouri state list have changed or the taxa have been removed. The fauna of stink bugs known from Missouri based on specimens from museums, other collections, and the literature is presented. Included for each species is a general overview of biological and ecological information, overall distribution, and local distribution among Missouri Natural Divisions. Also presented for Missouri specimens are biological label data and extreme dates of adult collection. All totaled, 57 species are now known from the state, eight of which represent new state records: Asopinae: Alcaeorrhynchus grandis (Dallas), Tylospilus acutissimus (Stål); Pentatominae: Banasa calva (Say), Banasa euchlora Stål, Cosmopepla intergressa (Uhler), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), Neottiglossa undata (Say); Podopinae: Amaurochrous brevitylus Barber and Sailer
First Vouchered Record for \u3ci\u3eStrumigenys Louisianae\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Illinois
We report the first known vouchered collection of Strumigenys louisianae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Illinois. Two specimens were captured in pitfall traps during a field study at Fults Hill Prairie Nature Preserve in Monroe County

Art, Artifact, Archive: African American Experiences in the Nineteenth Century
Angelo Scarlato’s extraordinary and vast collection of art and artifacts related to the Civil War, and specifically to the Battle of Gettysburg, the United States Colored Troops, slavery and the African American struggle for emancipation, citizenship and freedom has proved to be an extraordinary resource for Gettysburg College students. The 2012-14 exhibition in Musselman Library’s Special Collections, curated by Lauren Roedner ’13, entitled Slaves, Soldiers, Citizens: African American Artifacts of the Civil War Era and its corresponding catalogue provided a powerful and comprehensive historical narrative of the period.
This fall, students in my course at Gettysburg College “Art and Public Policy”—Diane Brennan, Maura Conley, Abigail Conner, Nicole Conte, Victoria Perez-Zetune, Savannah Rose, Kaylyn Sawyer, Caroline Wood and Zoe Yeoh—selected additional objects of material and print culture from Angelo’s private collection and drew from Lauren’s expertise for the exhibition Art, Artifact, Archive: African American Experiences in the Nineteenth Century to investigate public representations of a newly freed population as well as their more personal perspectives.

Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample
In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a
variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic
uncertainties. Owing to progenitor histories and explosion physics differing
from those of Type Ia SNe (SNe Ia), Type II-plateau supernovae (SNe II-P) are
unlikely to be affected by evolution in the same way. Based on a new analysis
of 17 SNe II-P, and on an improved methodology, we find that SNe II-P are good
standardizable candles, almost comparable to SNe Ia. We derive a tight Hubble
diagram with a dispersion of 10% in distance, using the simple correlation
between luminosity and photospheric velocity introduced by Hamuy & Pinto 2002.
We show that the descendent method of Nugent et al. 2006 can be further
simplified and that the correction for dust extinction has low statistical
impact. We find that our SN sample favors, on average, a very steep dust law
with total to selective extinction R_V<2. Such an extinction law has been
recently inferred for many SNe Ia. Our results indicate that a distance
measurement can be obtained with a single spectrum of a SN II-P during the
plateau phase combined with sparse photometric measurements.Comment: ApJ accepted version. Minor change
