PRIMERA CONTRIBUCIÓN AL CONOCIMIENTO DE LOS BRACONZDAE (HYM., APOCRZTA, TEREBRANTZA) PARASITOIDES DE AGROMYZZDAE (DZPT., CYCLORRAPHA) EN LA PROVINCIA DE SALAMANCA (ESPAÑA)

Four species of Braconidae (Alysiinae) have been found in a suivey conducted in Salamanca dunng the year 1988. Two of them are new records for Spain. Two new host-parasitoide relationships have been settled.En los muestreos llevados a cabo durante el año 1988 en la provincia de Salamanca, se han hallado cuatro especies de Branconidae (Alysiinae), dos de las cuales constituyen nuevas citas para España. Se establecen dos nuevas combinaciones entre insectos hospedadores y parasitoides

Mnesic imbalance: a cognitive theory about autism spectrum disorders

Autism is characterized by impairments in social interaction, communicative capacity and behavioral flexibility. Some cognitive theories can be useful for finding a relationship between these irregularities and the biological mechanisms that may give rise to this disorder. Among such theories are mentalizing deficit, weak central coherence and executive dysfunction, but none of them has been able to explain all three diagnostic symptoms of autism. These cognitive disorders may be related among themselves by faulty learning, since several research studies have shown that the brains of autistic individuals have abnormalities in the cerebellum, which plays a role in procedural learning. In keeping with this view, one may postulate the possibility that declarative memory replaces faulty procedural memory in some of its functions, which implies making conscious efforts in order to perform actions that are normally automatic. This may disturb cognitive development, resulting in autism symptoms. Furthermore, this mnesic imbalance is probably involved in all autism spectrum disorders. In the present work, this theory is expounded, including preliminary supporting evidence

Descripción de Ammoplanus torresi sp. n. y nuevos datos sobre los Ammoplanina ibéricos (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae)

[EN] Ammoplanus torresi sp. n., is described from Cabeça, Serra da Estrela (Portugal). The male is characterized by the presence of two lateral protuberances on gastral sternum V, and the female by the sculpture of the whole body. Taxonomical and morphological data are provided, together with several notes on the distribution of the Iberian Ammoplanina.[ES] Se describe Ammoplanus torresi sp. n. con material colectado en la localidad portuguesa de Cabeça (Serra da Estrela).

70 species of Sphecid wasps belonging to the subfamilies Sphecinae, Pemphredoninae, Astatinae and Lurrinae (sen su BOHART & MENKE. 1976) are cited, based on specimens collected in the Western Spanish district of Zamora. The material examined and the corresponding collecling data are given for each species, as well as a few morphological notes of some of them. Data on biology and geographical distribution are also offered.Se estudian 70 especies de esfécidos (Hymefloptera) pertenecientes a las subfamilias Sphecinae, Pemphredoninae, Astatinae y Larrinae (sensu BOHART & MENKE. 1976). en base a los ejemplares colectados en 72 localidades de la provincia de Zamora. Se comentan algunos aspectos de la morfología de ciertas especies, y se amplían los conocimientos sobre la biología) distribución geográfica de dichos esfécidos
