Genus Coronacanthus Spassky, 1954 contains three species--C. integra (Hamann, 1891), C. omissa (Baer et Joyeux 1943) and C. vassilevi Genov, 1980--but larval stages of only first two species were described before. During 1991-1993 cysticercoids of all three species were found from gammarid crustaceans in Eastern Carpathians. The article contains an illustrated description of the cysticercoid of C. vassilevi. It differs considerably from the formerly known Coronacanthus larvae by the egg-shaped (not lens-shaped) form of the cyst, absence of marginal thickening of the cyst wall, by the shape and length of cercomer and besides, by the invagination of the anterior part of the scolex. Microvilli on the cyst surface were not detected with light microscope. Cercomer of C. vassilevi is narrow and very long as for mammalian hymenolepidid (4.7 to 8 times longer than cyst). The number (37-38), length (8-9 microns) and shape of rostellar hooks well correspond to those of adult worms (Genov, 1980).

, temporary gas outbursts are conceivable. Between 190K and 240K neither annealing of defective ice Ih nor the crystal regrowth is fast enough to effectively slow down outward diffusing gas molecules. In such a scenario slow decomposition is to be expected and therefore the impact on the surface will be very limited. Surprisingly we also have found "self preservation" in a narrow pressure range. The sealing effect is, however, less pronounced as the preservation mechanism differs from the higher temperature one. Therefore only large agglomerations of CO2 hydrates may be effectively saved from further decomposition. [1] J.S.Kargel Mars: A Warmer Wetter Planet, Springer Berlin, 2004. [2] R. Greve, R.A.

coordinate transformations. If the coordinates they conjure up run backwards one gets negative refraction, if they exclude some region of space one makes anything inside invisible [4]. In physics, general relativity has honed the theoretical tools for understanding curved space and curved-coordinate transformations. In transformation optics, general relativity has become a theoretical tool for solving practical engineering problems [4]. What an unorthodox connection! This focus issue represents a snapshot of this rapidly developing research area. It is not restricted to optics or electromagnetism, though. Metamaterials for acoustics also exist and can be applied in ways similar to optical metamaterials. So transformation optics not only attracts an unusual mix of scientists, but also spans a range of applications in optics and beyond. Transformation optics has the potential to transform optics, for example by visualizing invisibility and making materials beyond materials—metamaterials. But before we transgress the boundaries to the hermeneutics of transformation optics [5], let the papers speak for themselves.
