INSECTARY STUDIES ON THE CONTROL OF DUNG BREEDING FLIES BY THE ACTIVITY OF THE DUNG BEETLE, ONTHOPHAGUS GAZELLA F. (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEINAE)
Authors: Bornemissza G. F.
Published: April 2007

i

The Afro‐Asian dung beetle, Onthophagus gazella F., buries bovine dung as food for its larvae so rapidly that when beetle populations are of the order of 4 insects per 100 c.c. dung, entire cow pads are completely broken up and buried within 30 to 40 hours.

Insectary studies show that this rate of dung disposal caused 80 to 100 per cent. reduction in the numbers of the bushfly Musca vetustissima Walker emerging from the pads. Surviving maggots gave rise to small, stunted flies of low or nil reproductive capacity. Viable fly eggs or maggots were never found in brood balls, and it is presumed that they were destroyed in the course of the elaborate process by which the beetles convert lumps of dung into brood balls.

Speed of dung burial is the critical factor in fly control. If half of a cow pad is buried within the first 24 hours, few or no adult flies emerge. More rapid burial within this period resulting in the complete removal of the cow pad, produces complete fly control.
CHORIZOCOCCUS HERBICOLA (MASKELL) (COMB. N): (HOMOPTERA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE) A GRASS‐INFESTING SPECIES IN AUSTRALIA

TERMITES (ISOPTERA) ASSOCIATED WITH DUNG IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Ferrar P. , Watson J. A. L.
Published: April 2007

Termites play an important role in removing dry dung pads from Australian pastures. They feed on fibre in the pads, replacing it with soil or carton in about 12 weeks. Attacks on wet dung are less frequent, and the termites are probably then seeking moisture. The termites recorded from dung in Australia are listed, with notes on their food records. Only Mastotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae have been recorded from dung. The genus Amitermes predominates, and the most frequently recorded species are polyphagic scavengers.
MALATHION RESISTANCE IN THE RUST‐RED FLOUR BEETLE TRIBOLIUM CASTANEUM (HERBST) (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE) IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Authors: Greening H. G.
Published: April 2007

A survey of resistance to malathion in Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) in New South Wales has detected 8 malathion‐resistant samples amongst 48 samples collected from storages and grain transport. Tests indicate that the resistance is specific to malathion and of the carboxyesterase type.

A REDEFINITION OF THE SUBFAMILY PHYLACTEOPHAGINAE WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES (HYMENOPTERA: SYMPHYTA: PERGIDAE)
Authors: Riek* E. F.
Published: April 2007

A study of the tibial spur development in species of the genus Phylacteophaga Froggatt, and that which occurs in a new genus, Leptoperga, has necessitated modification of the concept of the Phylacteophaginae. The subfamily is defined with greater emphasis on wing venation than on tibial spur development. A simplified key is presented for the separation of the subfamilies of Pergidae occurring in Australia.

Authors: Greenslade P. J. M.
Published: April 2007

Two types of I. purpureus v. viridiaeneus colony are described from an arid part of South Australia. Association with two plant species, predation on a termite, interactions with another ant species and rates of discovery of baits are recorded. In this locality I. purpureus v. viridiaeneus differed from I. purpureus sens. strict., of coastal, higher rainfall areas, in the dispersion of nests within the colony territory. The ecological significance of this is discussed.
A NOTE ON THE STATUS OF ORNITHOPTERA ALLOTTEI (ROTHSCHILD) (LEPIDOPTERA: PAPILIONIDAE)
Authors: McAlpine David K.
Published: April 2007

Evidence relating to the status of the butterfly known as Ornithoptera allottei (Rothschild) is examined. It is concluded that circumstantial evidence overwhelmingly favours the view that these specimens are the product of occasional hybridization between the sympatric species O. urvilliana and O. victoriae.
NOTES ON THE PREY AND NESTS OF SOME AUSTRALIAN CRABRONINI (HYMENOPTERA: SPHECIDAE)†
Authors: Evans Howard E. , Matthews* Robert W.

Podagritus leptospermi Turner and Rhopalum variitarse Turner are ground‐nesting wasps, both studied near Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. The former is a predator on flies of the family Therevidae, while the latter uses a diversity of very small flies. Williamsita bivittata Turner nests in logs and preys on Calliphoridae, this record being based on museum specimens collected in Victoria.
NOTES ON THE GENUS LIGYRA NEWMAN (DIPTERA:BOMBYLIIDAE) WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES FROM THE NEW GUINEA SUBREGION
Authors: Bowden* John
Published: April 2007

The relationships between the Australian and other Old World species of Ligyra Newman are discussed. The Australian fauna is composed of an old endemic stock with a more recent immigrant addition. The genus is considered to be a true Gondwanan element. Hyperalonia Rondani is a South American genus distinct from Ligyra. Descriptions are provided, for the first time, of the male genitalia of L. bombyliiformis (Macleay), the type species, L. doryca (Boisduval) and L. satyrus (F.). L. contrasta Paramonov is a synonym of L. punctipennis (Macquart) and L. macraspis (Thomson) is confirmed as a synonym of L. sinuatifascia (Macquart). L. ochracea and L. cruciata spp. n. are described from New Guinea and L. leptyna sp. n. from the Solomon Islands.

Two generations per year are indicated with overwintering occurring in larval form.
MORPHOLOGY OF THE GUM TREE SCALE ERIOCOCCUS CORIACEUS MASKELL (HOMOPTERA: ERIOCOCCIDAE), WITH NOTES ON ITS LIFE HISTORY AND HABITS NEAR ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Authors: Patel* J. D.
Published: April 2007

The external morphology of immature and mature stages of Eriococcus coriaceus Maskell is given with particular attention to the adult male, which has not been previously described. Data on the biology and behaviour of this scale‐insect include an assessment of its fecundity and a clear demonstration that it is oviparous, not viviparous as previously reported. Preliminary information on its predators and parasites is provided. Eriococcus coriaceus is pentavoltine with discrete generations. Two larval instars occur and mating appears to be necessary before ovarian development is completed.
TRANSPORTATION OF LARGE NUMBERS OF THE TERMITE COPTOTERMES ACINACIFORMIS (FROGGATT) (ISOPTERA:RHINOTERMITIDAE) FOR LABORATORY TESTING
Authors: Howick C. D. , Tamblyn N.
Published: April 2007

The collection of sufficiently large numbers of Coptotermes acinaciformis (Froggatt) for use in laboratory tests of wood preservatives is virtually impossible in the southern States of Australia where this termite does not build mound structures above ground. One method of solving the problem is to collect from above‐ground mounds in the northern tropical areas and to transport the termites quickly to the laboratory. This paper describes a transportation box capable of being carried onto an aircraft as hand luggage, in which more than 200,000 termites were successfully brought from Townsville to Melbourne—a distance of 1,648 miles (2,652 km).

INSECTS AND AUSTRALIA
Authors: Waterhouse* D. F.
Published: April 2007

Many facets of the topic are dealt with, including the interaction between aborigines and insects and the early history of Australian entomology, in particular the records of the early explorers. A survey of the present numbers and distribution of professional entomologists is reported and some information presented on the likely recruitment of entomologists over the next decade. Other matters dealt with include the stability of our insect fauna, the impact on it of DDT usage and the need to preserve representative habitats. Figures are given for pesticide usage in Australia and pest management is seen as the most desirable approach for the future.

ADHESIVE VESICLES IN SOME SPECIES OF NEOPHYLLAPHIS TAKAHASHI, 1920 (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE)
Authors: White* Dinah , Carver Mary
Published: April 2007

All adult morphs and nymphal instars of Neophyllaphis brimblecombei Carver bear two large, eversible, adhesive vesicles on the posterior abdominal sternites. These vesicles are everted and stuck to the underlying surface when the aphid is disturbed. They also enable the aphid to right itself from the supine position. The vesicles are continuous with the haemocoel, and microscopic studies and chemical tests suggest that haemolymph is the fluid responsible for adhesion, the haemolymph being transported from the haemocoel to the surface through intracellular channels in the epidermis and through cuticular pores. Similar vesicles are present in some other species of Neophyllaphis.
THE LIFE HISTORY AND TAXONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS OF NESOLYCAENA ALBOSERICEA (MISKIN) (LEPIDOPTERA: LYCAENIDAE)
Authors: Sands* D. P.
Published: April 2007

The previously unrecorded life history of Nesolycaena albosericea (Miskin) from Eidsvold, Queensland, and an examination of the male genitalia show this species to be closely related to the genus Candalides Hübner. Adult structural affinities with Adaluma urumelia Tindale are discussed.

Authors: Dyce A. L. , Standfast H. A. , Kay B. H.
Published: April 2007

Equipment and methods for the collection, handling and sorting of Ceratopogonidae for virus isolation are described. The desirability of processing living females of suitable physiological age is emphasized and the need for flexibility in the use of collection methods is discussed. The same procedures have been successfully applied to Phlebotomus and Simuliidae.
INSECTICIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF, AND METABOLISM OF DDT BY DACUS TRYONI (FROGGATT) AND DACUS CUCUMIS FRENCH (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE)
Authors: Atuahene S. K. N. , Hooper G. H. S.
Published: April 2007

The susceptibility of a strain of Dacus tryoni (Froggatt) from New South Wales and a strain of Dacus cucumis French from south‐east Queensland to the insecticides DDT, DDD, malathion, azinphos methyl and carbaryl was investigated. The available evidence suggests that these strains were susceptible to the above insecticides and therefore the data could be used as reference data should resistance in these species be suspected in the future. Both species were able to detoxify DDT to DDE with D. cucumis having a greater capability than D. tryoni. In both species penetration of 14C‐DDT over a post‐treatment period of 72 hr was biphasic. In the initial phase of rapid penetration, the rate of penetration followed first‐order kinetics. As the post‐treatment temperature was increased from 21 to 25 to 30°C both the rate of absorption and metabolism of DDT increased, but metabolism increased relatively more than absorption.

THE EMERGENCE OF BEHAVIOUR
Authors: Kennedy J. S.
Published: April 2007

When King Solomon the Wise used those famous words “Go to the ant, thou sluggard!” he couldn't have known how lazy ants really are, but he was plainly recommending the study of insect behaviour and letting it be known he was a bit of a student himself, nearly 3,000 years ago. Man's interest in the behaviour of insects is indeed ancient and from the scientific point of view, that is a mixed blessing. For it has the corollary that behaviour is something that everyone, the entomologist included, has tended to take in his stride; something fascinating and even baffling at times, but still a study more like play than work, that did not seem to demand the sort of critical, analytical labour, or rigorous evidence demanded by, say, taxonomy or toxicology.
A NEW CAVERNICOLOUS HARVESTMAN FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA (ARCHNIDA: OPILIONES: TRIAENONYCHIDAE)
Authors: Hunt G. S.
Published: April 2007

A TACHINID PARASITE OF DASYBASIS OCULATA (RICARDO) AND DASYBASIS HEBES (WALKER) (DIPTERA, TABANIDAE)
Authors: Spratt David M. , Wolf George
Published: April 2007

Larvae of a species of Bactromyiella Mesnil, possibly B. ficta (Walker), were found singly in the abdominal haemocoel of four female Dasybasis oculata and one female Dasybasis hebes. The parasite prepupa escaped from the host's abdomen, pupated within 6–8 hours and a single adult fly was reared after a pupal term of 27–30 days.
A PORTABLE POWER‐OPERATED APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING EPIGAEIC COLLEMBOLA AND ACARI
Authors: Wallace M. M. H.
Published: April 2007

A suction sampling machine is described for the collection of living Collembola and Acari from pastures and other soil surface habitats. The machine weighs only 11 kg and is easily carried by hand or mounted on wheels. The air flow is obtained from a centrifugal multivane fan, powered by a 1 H.P. two‐stroke petrol engine, giving about 100 c.m.m. at 1,500 r.p.m.
THE CRASSIPES SPECIES‐GROUP, GENUS TRICHOSUROLAELAPS WOMERSLEY (ACARI: DERMANYSSIDAE)
Authors: Domrow R.
Published: April 2007

Three mite parasites of Australian possums (Marsupialia) are described: Trichosurolaelaps dixoa sp. n. from Trichosurus caninus (Phalangeridae); T. marra sp. n. from Petaurus norfolcensis, P. breviceps, and Gymnobelideus leadbeateri (Petauridae); and T. fallax sp. n. from Schoinobates volans (Petauridae). Supplementary notes are offered on the three known species (T. crassipes Womersley, T. harrisoni Domrow, and T. striata Domrow). The considerable reduction of the setation on the disc of the dorsal shield of all species is analysed, and incorporated with other morphological characters into a natural key. Host‐specificity parallels morphology, and indicates that the parasites of petaurids are distinct from those of phalangerids, and that the latter are nearer to the one parasite of a non‐possum: Hypsiprymnodon (Macropodidae).

HAIRPENCIL DIHYDROPYRROLIZINES OF DANAINAE FROM THE NEW HEBRIDES
Authors: Edgar*, J. A. , Culvenor C. C. J. , Robinson† G. S.
Published: April 2007

Chemical examination of the hairpencils of New Hebridean Danainae has extended the number of species known to secrete dihydropyrrolizines. Field observations and results obtained from butterflies bred under controlled conditions suggest that adult male Danainae obtain their hairpencil dihydropyrrolizines or precursors from plant sources.
OBSERVATIONS ON A MOVEMENT OF INSECTS AT HERON ISLAND, QUEENSLAND.
Authors: Fletcher Brian S.
Published: April 2007

Observations were made on a large scale movement of insects at Heron Island and on a launch off the Queensland coast. Insects of several orders were involved and some species. particularly Lepidoptera, were collected and identified. This movement was associated with a north‐westerly air stream as indicated by the meteorological data.
CAVERNICOLOUS SPIDERS FROM THE NULLARBOR PLAIN AND SOUTH‐WEST AUSTRALIA
Authors: Gray* M. R.
Published: April 2007

Three cavernicolous spiders are described from caves on the Nullarbor Plain, southern Australia: two troglobites, Janusia muiri gen. n., sp. n. (Miturgidae) and Tartarus mullamullangensis gen. n., sp. n. (Amaurobiidae, Stiphidiinae), and a troglophile, Epimecinus alkirna sp. n. (Amaurobiidae, Matachiinae). T. mullamullangensis is shown to be closely related to a troglophilic species, Epimecinus tegenarioides Simon, 1908, from moist forest habitats in south west Australia. The latter is transferred to Tartarus. The presence of T. mullamullangensis on the Nullarbor Plain suggests the occurrence of at least one phase of wetter, cooler conditions in the past than are prevailing at present.
NOTES ON EIGHT AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF MICROTERYS (HYMENOPTERA: ENCYRTIDAE) DESCRIBED BY A. A. GIRAULT*
Authors: Rosen David
Published: April 2007

Species of Microterys Thomson are important natural enemies of various coccoids. The centre of distribution of this large genus appears to lie in the northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The extent of intraspecific variation and the validity of morphological diagnostic characters have not been critically evaluated in Microterys. Eight Australian species—gilberti, newcombi, spinozai, aristotelea, triguttatus, purpureiventris, longifuniculus and garibaldia, all described by A. A. Girault under Encyrtus, are transferred to Microterys. Notes on material kept at the Queensland Museum are presented.

The species is an inquiline in the nests of Nasutitermes or Microcerotermes. The abdomen is physogastric and is reflexed over the head and thorax; it bears three pairs of secondary appendages, giving it an appearance not unlike that of a termite.
SYNONYMY AND STATUS OF SOME AUSTRALIAN CALLIPHORIDAE (DIPTERA)
Authors: Norris K. R.
Published: April 2007

Attention is drawn to errors in the nomenclature of some common and important Australasian blowflies in a paper by H. Kurahashi (1971): Calliphora albifrontalis Malloch, 1932 is a valid name and C. maryfulleri Hardy, 1947, as used by Kurahashi, a junior synonym. Calliphora rufipes (Macquart, 1835) as used by Kurahashi is a junior synonym of C. stygia (F., 1781). The Western Australian Calliphora varifrons Malloch, 1932 differs strikingly from eastern representatives of the C. hilli complex and is viewed by the present author as a distinct species. C. nociva Hardy, 1932, which Kurahashi reduces to a sub‐species of C. augur (F., 1775), is better regarded as a distinct species.
COORILLA LONGICTENA, A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF BAT‐FLEA FROM NEW SOUTH WALES (SIPHONAPTERA: ISCHNOPSYLLIDAE)

A MODIFIED KENNEDY FLIGHT CHAMBER
Authors: Laughlin Roger
Published: April 2007

A vertical wind tunnel is described. Windspeed can be changed rapidly and smoothly from full updraft to full downdraft. The working section (flight chamber) is used to study insects in free flight. Their rate of climb or dive (or fall) is matched by the operator changing the downdraft or updraft speeds to keep the insect in the centre of the chamber.
BIOLOGY AND CHEMICAL STERILIZATION OF THE FRUIT FLY DACUS CUCUMIS FRENCH (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE)
Authors: Vuttanatungum Anan , Hooper G. H. S.
Published: April 2007

Hitherto unavailable data on the biology and reproduction of Dacus cucumis French is presented. Sterilization of both sexes was achieved by topical application, tarsal contact, and oral administration of both metepa and hempa. Following topical application metepa was a better sterilant than hempa with male flies, but the reverse was true with females. When offered to adult flies in sugar, hempa was a better sterilant than metepa with both sexes and females required higher doses than males for complete sterility. At high levels of sterility the competitiveness of treated flies was reduced, but the data suggest, that following oral administration, hempa was less deleterious than metepa.
HIGH MONOAMINE OXIDASE ACTIVITY IN THE TICK BOOPHZLUS MICROPLUS, AND INHIBITION BY CHLORDIMEFORM AND RELATED PESTICIDES.
Authors: Atkinson P. W. , Binnington K. C. , Roulston W. J.
Published: April 2007

Homogenates of the tick, Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), contain high levels of monoamine oxidase (MAO), far in excess of those hitherto found in insects and comparable to those found in rat liver. The enzyme has been demonstrated in a diversity of organs including the synganglion, peripheral nerves and salivary glands. The enzyme is inhibited by pargyline and tranylcypromine, as well as chlor‐dimeform [N′‐(4‐chloro‐o‐tolyl)‐N, N‐dimethyl formamidine] and several related formamidine acaricides. Results point, if only circumstantially, to some involvement of MAO inhibition in the action of formamidines on B. microplus. However MAO inhibition is considered unlikely to be the sole mechanism in formamidine poisoning.

THE RESPONSES OF FRUIT FLY SPECIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC AREA TO MALE ATTRACTANTS
Authors: Drew R. A. I.
Published: April 2007

Specimens of Dacini were collected in traps containing male attractants in north‐east Australia and 26 islands of the South Pacific area. The resulting species‐attractant records are given for 79 species, which fit into 2 groups on the basis of their response to attractants: (1) species attracted to the cue‐lure type of attractant (cue‐lure and Willison's lure); (2) species attracted to methyl eugenol. No species was attracted to both types of attractants. Species of the genusCallantraand of both theStrumetaandDacusgroups of subgenera of the genusDacuswere attracted to the cue‐lure type of attractant. Only species of theStrumetagroup of subgenera were attracted to methyl eugenol.

NOTES ON HALARACHNINE LARVAL MORPHOLOGY AND A NEW SPECIES OF PNEUMONYSSUS BANKS (ACARI: DERMANYSSIDAE)
Authors: Domrow Robert
Published: April 2007

The number of recognized species of Orthohalarachne Newell is reduced from seven to two by listing five new synonyms as follows: O. diminuata (Doetschman, 1944) =O. chabaudi Gretillat, 1960 =O. letalis Popp, 1961; and O. attenuata (Banks, 1910) =Halarachne zalophi Oudemans, 1916 =H. rosmari Oudemans, 1916 =H. magellanica Finnegan, 1934. Both species are now known from Australian seals (Carnivore: Otariidae), O. diminuata being recorded from the Australian Region and Arctocephalus doriferus Jones, and O. attenuata from Neophoca cinerea (Péron and Lesueur), all for the first time. The larva of each species is described in detail. The genus Pneumonyssus Banks, previously known only from Africa and S. E. Asia, principally in primates, is now listed from east of Wallace's Line. Both sexes and the larva of P. capricorni sp. n. are described from a cuscus. Phalanger maculatus (Desmarest) (Marsupialia: Phalangeridae), in Papua New Guinea. It is best compared with P. simicola Banks from Indonesian macaques, Macaco Lacépède (Primates: Cercopithecidae).
THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON DAMAGE TO STORED APPLES BY THE LIGHT‐BROWN APPLE MOTH, EPIPHYAS POSTVITTANA (WALKER), AND THE EFFECT OF COLD STORAGE ON ITS VIABILITY
Authors: van den Broek W.
Published: April 2007

Experiments were undertaken to determine the nature of damage to apples by larvae of the light‐brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana, under different temperature regimes.

Damage was more frequent and more deeply penetrating at 13°C and 18°C than at 21°C, probably due to the larvae burrowing specifically to escape the effect of progressive refrigeration, the progress of which was monitored in fruits placed at 3°C.

Exposure of larvae in an artificial medium to varying periods at 3°C had no effect on subsequent viability and adult fertility, but similar exposure was harmful to pupae and severely so to eggs.

INSECT ATTACK IN FIRE‐DAMAGED PLANTATION TREES AT BULOLO IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA*
Authors: Wylie F. R. , Shanahan P. J.
Published: April 2007

The progression of insect attack in sample plots of fire‐damaged Arucaria cunninghamii and Eucalyptus spp. was assessed. Fungi occurring on plot trees during the study were identified and listed.

In the 12 week period following the fire, ambrosia beetle attack (mainly Diapus pusillimus and Xyleborus perforans) was recorded on 77% of A. cunninghamii trees and 94% of Eucalyptus spp. trees. Highest attack occurred on burnt Eucalyptus deglupta. A total of 40% of Eucalyptus torelliana trees in the plots were severely damaged by the bostrychid Xylothrips religiosus, most attacks occurring in the first 5 weeks after the fire. Termite damage to Eucalyptus spp. was minimal 12 months after the fire but 44% of scorched A. cunninghamii were heavily attacked by Coptotermes pamuae during this period.

Extensive sapstain caused by Botryodiplodia theobromae was noted in A. cunninghamii and E. deglupta 3 weeks after the fire. The decay fungus Schizophyllum commune was found on all tree species 4 weeks after the fire but was most prevalent on A. cunninghamii.
THE BIOLOGY, DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF SOME LYGAEIDAE OF SOUTHWEST AUSTRALIA (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA)*
Authors: SLATER JAMES A.
Published: April 2007

Biological, ecological and distributional data are presented for 25 species of southwest Australian Lygaeidae. Numerous host plant associations are discussed. These species are segregated in 19 genera and 6 subfamilies. Attention is drawn to the association of terrestrial litter‐inhabiting assemblages with particular soil types, particularly white sand areas. The position of the 7th abdominal spiracle in Lepionysius Ashlock, previously used for tribal position, is shown to be variable. A seasonal differential between 2 species of Cyminae occurring on the same host is discussed. The first description is given of the macropter of Darwinocoris australicus Slater. A key is presented to the southwest Australian species of Udeocoris Bergroth, and a discussion of the significance of wing polymorphism in species of the genus. Geographic variation in Coleocoris ocellatus Gross is treated, with a discussion of the adaptive value of the “coleopteroid” wing for insects living in xeric habitats.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF ORYCTES RHINOCEROS AND SCAPANES AUSTRALIS (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE: DYNASTINAE): PESTS OF COCONUT PALMS IN MELANESIA
Authors: BEDFORD* G. O.
Published: April 2007

Marked biological and ecological differences are reported between the coconut palm rhinoceros beetles Oryctes rhinoceros and Scapanes australis in Papua New Guinea. Differences of distribution, preferred breeding site, age group of palm attacked, and duration of the immature stages, are such that no competition for resources occurs between the two species. Damage to palms varies greatly from one locality to the other. Natural enemies appear to be of little importance, the number of suitable breeding sites limiting the abundance of these dynastines. Methods for insectary breeding of the two species are described.
