ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Three Atlantic Forest endemic species of emerald dragonflies of the genus Navicordulia Machado & Costa, 1995 are reviewed through a morphological comparative analysis. All name-bearing types and additional specimens of the Navicordulia atlantica-complex—Navicordulia atlantica Machado & Costa, 1995, Navicordulia mielkei Machado & Costa, 1995 and Navicordulia miersi Machado & Costa, 1995—were investigated to assess their taxonomic and nomenclatural status. Based on our results the hypothesis of these three nomina corresponding to distinct species is no longer supported. The proportional size of caudal appendages, an additional crossvein in cubito-anal space in the hind wing, as well as minor differences in coloration of pterostigma are not reliable diagnostic characters for supporting their specific status. We consider the three simultaneously available nomina as synonyms, and by action of the first reviser, Navicordulia atlantica Machado & Costa, 1995 is selected as valid nomen, hence N. mielkei syn. nov. and N. miersi syn. nov. are their subjective junior synonyms. Photos, other illustrations, and a new species-level diagnosis are given. Despite of the advances of taxonomic knowledge of Navicordulia, the second species-rich corduliid genus in the Neotropical region, the status of some species still necessitates a full revision.
ABSTRACT
Abstract@#Prior to translating Tanjur to Mongolian (1749), "Merged Garahyn Oron" (1742) was written for the translation work to translate terminology of Buddhism from Tibetan to Mongolian and clarify the writing style. The woodblock of "Merged Garahyn Oron" Tibetan-Mongolian dictionary was created in 1924 in Aga Datsan of Buryatia by the initiative of the Institute of Literature and Scripts. The dictionary is a unique masterpiece that significantly influenced the national philosophy, development of scientific disciplines and the great achievements of the Oriental people.</br> As a result of the research, we compiled 54 complicated and synonymies words from "Field of Medicine" in "Merged Garahyn Oron" dictionary and translated as well as explained each word, thus, providing an opportunity to study traditional medicine with rationale, enrich the traditional medical education materials and to put the interpreted words into research circulation in addition to using in traditional medicine theory and pharmacology. Furthermore, traditional Mongolian medicine has developed a comprehensive medical science system with unique terminology resulting from cognitive development of Mongolians and has been increasingly developing and utilized in day-to-day medical care.
