Gymnogeophagus che, una nueva especie de la familia Cichlidae de la cuenca del río Paraná (Perciformes, Labroidei)

Gymnogeophagus che , a new species of the family Cichlidae from the Paraná river basin (Perciformes, Labroidei). Gymnogeophagus che , new species, is described from the Paraná river basin in northeastern Argentina. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: Absence of small rounded spots on dorsal, anal, and caudal fins, few hyaline stripes on caudal fin, low body depth and head profile, and ascending arm of the premaxilla bearing a wide symphyseal articular facet.

From "L.A. Chicano"

For me it all started with my mother, because she had the stuff. you have to ask: What is the 'stuff?' will have to answer as Louie Armstrong did when asked: What is Jazz? If you don't know now, you never will! Her name Relucia, but her friends called her Lucha. She a small, slightly overweight woman who wore her long, salt-and-pepper hair twisted into a bun in back. Her slanted brown eyes had the deep, steady gaze of the golden eagle. although she forty-three years old, her high, smooth cheekbones glowed with the freshness of a clear Los Angeles spring morning. Of course, these days, in Los Angeles there are very few clear spring mornings - or, for that matter, clear any morning - but in 1910, smog unheard of. In 1910, the slender, fourteen-year-old Relucia, wearing a white dress, and holding a small bouquet of white carnations, married the twenty-four-year-old Joel Gomez, who wore a black suit and a bursting proud look on his handsome face. Shortly after their marriage, Relucia and Joel learned that in Los Angeles there were many tracts of land being sold by the city, some of which were very cheap. Relucia suggested to Joel that perhaps buying one of these lots and building a small house on it would be a wise investment, especially since the down payments required were very low. But they were starting a family, and their living expenses were going up, while, at the same time, Joel's income remained very low. We can't afford to buy anything extra, let alone land, Joel argued; a long-term investment. There will be times when won't have a job; how would we make the payments? Besides, where would we get the money to build a house? I will get a job, too, Relucia countered. That's unheard of. No wife of mine is going to work. Besides, with you raising the children, where would you find the time? I will make the time. Don't worry about that, Relucia answered reassuringly. And if it is true that am your wife, then it is also true that am your companera. Isn't that miyo? Yes, of course that's correct, Joel answered, softly. Then, you must let me help, otherwise will feel worthless. Joel finally agreed, and within months they moved to Los Angeles, to a barrio known as Rose Hill, located between Lincoln Heights and El Sereno. They rented a small house and started saving money for a down payment on a lot. Finally, they found a piece of land they could afford. The address 1760 Bishops Road. It located at the base of Bishop's Canyon, between Elysian Park and Sulphur Ravine (where the Dodger Stadium now stands). My parents borrowed money to build a two-room house, and they settled on a plan. We decided that the first thing we should do, my mother recalls, was to set up a tent on our land. That way we could be building our house without wasting time running back and forth. Well, they were not alone. The morning Relucia and Joel arrived at Bishop's Canyon, they found other families unloading their belongings. Tents had been set up, not only at the base of Bishop's Canyon, but along its slopes as well. One couple went to greet them, Buenos dias, bien venidos. Mi nombre es Jorge Rosas; and this is my wife, Silvera. Others followed: Senor y Senora Artucia; Dona Licha; Senor y Senora Armas; los Apolonios, y la familia Marquez. Meeting our neighbors boosted our confidence, my mother recalls, because, although Joel had worked on construction sites, and had watched craftsmen working at their trades, he had never done skilled work himself. And, as often happens in like situations, the gente pooled their resources: Miren, Senor Artucia offered, I know a little something about plumbing. Si gustan, will teach you what know, and you can teach me what don't know; we can share the work; help each other. …

A New Species of Marathrum (Podostemaceae) from Jalisco, Mexico

A new species of Podostemaceae, Marathrum rubrum, from Jalisco, Mexico, is described and illustrated. Capillaceous leaf divisions and red leaf color distinguish M. rubrum from other species. RESUMEN. Se describe e ilustra una especie nueva de la familia Podostemaceae (Marathrum rubrum) del estado de Jalisco, Mexico. Las divisiones capiliformes y el color rojizo de las hojas distinguen a M. rubrum de las otras especies. The pantropical Podostemaceae are the largest family of aquatic flowering plants. Little taxonomic work has been conducted on New World Podostemaceae since Royen's treatments (1951, 1953, 1954). Currently most species of Podostemaceae in the New World are poorly collected, taxonomic boundaries at both the specific and generic levels are unclear, and factors relating to the unusually high incidence of endemism (e.g., > 45% among New World species) are unresolved. Marathrum, one of the largest genera of Podostemaceae, is composed of 25 species occurring in tropical river rapids and waterfalls. The genus ranges from the West Indies and Mexico through Central America, to northwestern portions of South America (Royen, 1951). During field studies aimed at clarifying the taxonomy of Podostemaceae in Mexico, collections were made from Jalisco that did not correspond to any described species. These collections serve as the basis for the description of a new species, Marathrum rubrum Novelo & Philbrick. Marathrum rubrum Novelo & Philbrick, sp. nov. TYPE: Mexico.

Psychology, Religion, and Ethics in Galdós' Novels: The Quest for Authenticity (review)

Reviewed by: Psychology, Religion, and Ethics in Galdós' Novels: The Quest for Authenticity Theodore Alan Sackett Arnold M. Penuel . Psychology, Religion, and Ethics in Galdós' Novels: The Quest for Authenticity. Lanham: UP of America, 1987. 208 pp. $23.00 cloth; pb. $12.75. Arnold M. Penuel is a respected scholar of nineteenth-century Spanish literature who has written extensively and well on many facets of the novels of Benito Pérez Galdós. His new book is a collection of three essays published previously, five additional ones, and a brief but suggestive conclusion that synthesizes from Galdós' [End Page 726] entire novelistic production the importance of the three aspects indicated in the book's title. The theoretical underpinning of Penuel's critical methods comes from the ideas of some key nineteenty-century philosophers and pre-Freudian psychologists (Ludwig Feuerbach, Wilhelm Wundt) and from Freud and his disciples. The best features of this collection of essays are their coherence and clarity and the fact that they represent virtually all the phases of Galdós' novelistic production: the "thesis" novels (Doña Perfecta, Gloria, La familia de León Roch), naturalism (Miau), realism (La incógnita and Realidad), spiritualism (Nazarin, Halma, and Misericordia), and the mythical-symbolic novel (Casandra). What is less satisfactory, however, is the fact that as cogent and well-stated as Penuel's studies are, the book contains little that is new within the Galdoós critical canon. The psychological and thematic approaches have less to offer us than we can find in postformalist criticism. Furthermore, neither the previously published studies nor the "new" ones take into account bibliography approaching the book's publication date of 1987. When Penuel is confronted with ironic discourse or intertextuality, even when an awareness of these fundamental aspects of Galdós' art is indicated in the notes and bibliography, he tends to ignore them. The text is also marred to an unnecessary degree by errata in the typescript that could have been corrected. Limitations notwithstanding, Galdós scholars will find various useful analyses in this book. For example, in Chapter One Penuel demonstrates that Doña Perfecta is more than a presentation of religious fanaticism: it is also a profound psychological study; language is the first casualty in the Orbajosan's "reinvention of reality"; Cayetano Polentino is not merely an "erudito chiflado" but is in fact the chief architect of the "spurious historical consciousness that falsifies the Orbajosan view of reality in the present." The critic's convincing conclusions include the following: Galdós' awareness of both the conscious and unconscious processes of human psychology, the assertion that religion was the force "that more than any other formed—or deformed—the character of the Spaniard and his society," the novelist's exploration of "the mysterious nature of reality," his notion that the reform of religion and society "must begin with the individual," and much evidence that Galdós was "an ethical pragmatist."

Images of Women in Mexican Comic Books*

Comic books are read on a regular basis by young and old, rich and poor, urban and rural Mexicans. Humor, adventure, police, fantastic and political comic books are but a few types of these popular publications found at newsstands on busy downtown street corners or laid out on sidewalks in quiet neighborhoods. Because of their immense popularity, their content merits serious attention. Harold Hinds and Charles Tatum study the images of women in four comic books—Kaliman, Lagrimas, risas y amor, La familia Burron and El Payo—and assess the degree to which these images conform to or deviate from traditional stereotypes of Mexican women. They find that in some cases these stereotypical images are not found: but in most, readers encounter submissive, passive and long‐suffering females dependent upon males for their self‐esteem; or at least woman as ideal fiancee‐spouse, as mistress‐sex‐object and as witch. Two women—Borola of La familia Burron and Lupe of El Payo—are more assertive and not cast in the same mold as most other comic book women.

Extended Kinship in the United States: Competing Models and the Case of la Familia Chicana

The Parsons' isolated nuclear family, the Litwak and Sussman modified extended or neolocal nuclear family system, and the Yorburg typology qf four family structures (extended, modified extended, modified nuclear, and nuclear) are discussed. In light qf the discussion and relevant literature, extended kinship among Chicanos (persons of Mexican-descent in the United States) is explored through intensive, open-ended interviews with four cases of three generations qf Mexican-descent families in the Michigan-Indiana-Illinois region and the charting of their family trees. La familia chicana is posited as a modified extended or kin-integrated family extending over time and space from Mexico at the turn of the century to present day industrial America, with antecedents retraceable to pre-Columbian periods.

La Historia Natural y el Comportamiento de Zygopachylus albomarginis (Chamberlain) (Arachnida, Opiliones: Genylepidae)

Males of the phalangid Zygopachylms albomarginis (Chamberlain) construct nests which females visit to copulate and/or lay eggs. This type of behavior is unknown in other members of the order Opiliones. The males remain in their nests almost continuously for up to several months, and are capable of relocating their nests from distances of several meters; they defend the nests against other males, which occupy and defend vacated nests. Females lay only a few eggs during a given visit to a nest, and may restrict their visits to only one or two nests. Neither parasitism nor predation of eggs in nests was observed. Possible functions of the nests are discussed. LA FAMILIA GONYLEPTIDAE, la mas grande del suborden Laniatores, y casi enteramente confinada a Suramerica, es en muchos aspectos desconocida. Este estudio de Zygopachylus albomarginis (Ch.) parece ser el primero sobre la biologia de esta especie. La mayoria de las especies de esta familia y los

Existentialism in the Novels of Elena Soriano

In the post-Civil War period, Spanish literature has experienced what some Spanish writers describe as a renaissance. The past twenty years have witnessed a new flowering of poetry, theater and the novel, often under extremely adverse conditions. Despite the uneven quality of their production, the new writers are impressive in their numbers. In the field of the novel alone, over 120 serious authors have published since 1942,' the year when Camilo Jose Cela ushered in a new era for the genre with the publication of La familia de Pascual Duarte. Noteworthy is the number (unusual for Spain) of women novelists. Those considered most im-

Camilo Jose Cela and "La Familia de Pascual Duarte"

La familia de Pascual Duarte1 occupies an important place in both the history of contemporary Spanish literature and the career of its author: Camilo Jose Cela. Although certain critics tend to place La colmena on a higher level of technical and artistic achievement,2 Pascual Duarte, Cela's first novel, serves as an effective vehicle for the expression of his central philosophy: a firm faith in man's ability to survive.
