A new species of the genus Ambanus (Arachnida: Araneae: Amaurobiidae) from Korea
ABSTRACT A new species of coelotin spider from forests of Busan city, South-eastern Korea, Ambanus cochlea sp. nov., is described with detailed illustrations, leg spination, trichobothrium patterns, and scanning electron micrographs. This species can be distinguished from other Ambanus spiders by embolus with large distal part, wound snail-like and embolus tip in male and genital opening situated in the middle of atrium, copulationary ducts oblique linear, spermathecal heads long cylindrical processes in female. A key to the species of genus Ambanus is provided.
Standard therapy options are limited for patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, with or without lymphadenopathy, and the results are generally poor. Ofatumumab (Arzerra), a novel human CD20 monoclonal antibody, could be the answer for improving outcomes in this patient population. Lead investigator William G. Wierda, MD, PhD, will share the final analysis of the results from this international study at ASH 2010.
