On the chromosomes of two species of jassids (Cicadellidae: Homoptera).

Chromosome number and and male meiosis of Hishimonus phycitis and Chiasmus arori of the sub-family Deltocephalinae (Family: Cicadellidae) is discussed. The diploid chromosome number in H. phycitis was found to be 2n = 11-12 with a sex-mechanism of the XO:XX type, while 2n = 16 with a sex-mechanism of XX:XY has been observed in the case of Chiasmus arori. The gonial chromosomes in H. phycitis are gradually seriated, while the diploid complement of C. arori is characterized by a pair of large chromosomes. The mode of male meiosis follows the typical pattern of the family Cicadellidae and is essentially similar in the two species.

Hostility and guilt in obsessive-compulsive neurosis.

The enquiry relates to the investigation of 30 cases of obsessive-compulsive neurosis with special reference to the phenomena of hostility and guilt as revealed through Foulds' Five Punitive Scales and the Thematic Apperception Test. Controls consisted of an equal number of subjects suffering from neurotic depression. Analysis reveals acting-out hostility and extrapunitive tendency in the experimental group. No significant difference was found in terms of guilt scores.
