APHANOSPERMA, A NEW GENUS OF CERAMBYCIDAE (COLEOPTERA) FROM WOODY FRUITS OF HAKEA SPP. IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Britton E. B. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA new genus of Cerambycidae, Aphanosperma gen. n., with two new species, is described. Larvae of one of these, A. occidentalis sp. n., live within the mature woody fruits of Hakea spp. in south western Australia. The species may be of value for the control of Hakea in South Africa.
THE GENUS STEATONYSSUS KOLENATI IN AUSTRALIA (ACARI: DERMANYSSIDAE)
Authors: Domrow R. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract Steatonyssus patriciae sp. n. is the first member of this genus to be recorded from Australia. Morphologically, it is unique in showing the sternal shield reduced to leave sternal setae III free in the adjacent cuticle. Ecologically, its host (a desert marsupial, Dasycercus sp.) is noteworthy, since all its congeners are parasites of bats.
A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE TRIBE HYSTRICHONYCHINI (ACARINA: TETRANYCHIDAE) FROM QUEENSLAND
Authors: Davis J. J. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract Notonychus asper gen. et sp. n., from Gahnia aspera (R. Br.) Sprengel. is described and figured. The relationships of Notonychus within the tribe Hystrichonychini, family Tetranychidae, are indicated.
A WING‐LOCKING OR STRIDULATORY DEVICE IN LEPIDOPTERA
Authors: Common I. F. B. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA mechanism found in the Lepidoptera for locking the wings in the folded position is described, and its distribution in the Order discussed. In the Cossidae and some other larger Lepidoptera the unlocking of this device produces a distinctly audible sound. This may well reinforce the protective function of sudden wing‐flexing observed in the larger Xyleutes moths when they are disturbed.

THE BEHAVIOUR OF HEMITHYNNUS HYALINATUS (HYMENOPTERA: TIPHIIDAE), WITH NOTES ON SOME OTHER THYNNINAE†
Authors: Smith* T. J. Ridsdill 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe behaviour of Hemithynnus hyalinatus Westwood, a wasp parasite of scarabaeid larvae, was studied in the field on the northern tablelands of New South Wales and in the laboratory. The wingless females are fed by the males at the breeding area during mating. The distance between the breeding area and the feeding area of the males is less than 800 m. H. hyalinatus parasitizes the third‐instar larvae and pupae of almost all the larger scarabaeid species in the study area. The behaviour of H. hyalinatus was compared with that of other Thynninae which have been studied by other workers.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE THREE FORMS† OF THE MEAT ANT IRIDOMYRMEX PURPUREUS (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Greaves* T. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractDistributions of the three nominal forms of the meat ant Iridomyrmex purpureus (Smith), I. viridiaeneus Viehmeyer and J. sanguineus Forel have been studied. Each ranges widely, and seems characteristically to be developed in areas within prescribed limits of rainfall and vegetation. The most common form, purpureus, is found over one third of the Australian mainland; it is sometimes found in association with the other two forms and in places it appears to occupy a buffer zone between areas where viridiaeneus or sanguineus are common. Examples of apparent character displacement are given, with discussion of how the variation in nest structure could enable colonies to survive extreme conditions. Evidence suggesting effects of soil, altitude, rainfall and vegetation in limiting the distribution of each form is discussed.
WIDESPREAD DISTRIBUTION OF PHLEBOTOMUS RONDANI AND BERTÉ (DIPTERA: PSYCHODIDAE) IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Dyce* A. L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA collection of Phlebotomus has been assembled which includes approximately 7,800 adult specimens from 306 separate collections from 100 different localities in Australia. Most of the specimens are from inland localities that receive precipitation < 30 in. (762 mm)/annum. Very few have been collected from the east coastal strip of the continent where the rainfall is higher. Patterns of distribution of the described species are briefly discussed.

CHEMICAL DEFENCE IN LONGHORN BEETLES OF THE GENERA STENOCENTRUS AND SYLLITUS (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE)
Authors: Moore B. P. , Brown* Wi V. 
Published: April 2007

iToluene and o‐cresol have been identified as the main volatile components of the defensive secretions in Stenocentrus ostricilla (Newman) and Syllitus grammicus (Newman). These materials are produced in paired manidibular glands, with associated large reservoirs, and are emitted through pores on each side of the frons. The specialized frontal organs of these beetles serve as dispensers for the secretion.

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

iSeasonal variation in the composition of colonies is described, with particular reference to the incidence of sexual castes. The ant species are Oecophylla smaragdina F., Iridomyrmex cordatus Fr. Smith and Anoplolepis longipes Jerdon.
THE USE OF BAITS AND PRESERVATIVES IN PITFALL TRAPS
Authors: Greenslade* Penelope , Greenslade P. J. M. 
Published: April 2007

iPitfall traps containing baits and alcoholic preservatives were investigated, in the Solomon Islands and in South Australia, as methods for sampling ants and members of other groups that are active on the ground surface. Observations by previous workers that there may be attraction to preservatives used in traps were extended and a method of testing for it is suggested. Ants were not attracted to the preservatives used and when dealing with diverse ant faunas simple pitfalls appear to be preferable to baited traps.
A NEW SPECIES OF AUSTROGONIODES (PHTHIRAPTERA: PHILOPTERIDAE) FROM A DUCK (ANSERIFORMES)
Authors: Clay* Theresa 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA new species of Austrogoniodes Harrison (Philopteridae), A. metoecus, is described based on specimens taken from Biziura lobata (Shaw), a member of the Anseriformes.

A NEWLY RECOGNIZED FROM OF PASTURE DAMAGE BY PHAULACRIDIUM VITTATUM (ACRIDIDAE) ON THE NORTHERN TABLELANDS OF N.S.W.
Authors: Roberts R. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractObservations made on Phaulacridium vittatum during 1965–71 on the Northern Tablelands of N.S.W. showed that this grasshopper is a serious pest of both new and established pastures, where it attacks grasses, particularly their new growth, as well as the clovers and broad‐leafed plants upon which it was previously known to feed. The insect is a problem in seasons of low rainfall in the growing period and where overgrazing of pastures occurs.
A NOTE ON PODAPOLIPOIDES GRASSI BERLESE (ACARINA: PODAPOLIPIDAE), A PARASITE OF CHORTOICETES TERMINIFERA WALKER, THE AUSTRALIAN PLAGUE LOCUST
Authors: Gauchat Claude A. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractParasitism by Podapolipoides grassii on Chortoicetes terminifera, the Australian plague locust, interfered with culturing of locusts and heavy infestations of the mite were associated with a decrease in host vigour. The parasitic mite was widely distributed in high density field populations of locusts in south western New South Wales and northern Victoria during autumn 1971.

SEASONAL STUDIES OF A POPULATION OF CULICOIDES MARMORATUS (SKUSE) (DIPTERA: CERATOPOGONIDAE) AT DECEPTION BAY, QUEENSLAND*
Authors: Kay B. H. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA facultatively autogenous population of Culicoides marmoratus (Skuse, 1889) was abundant at Deception Bay, 40 km north of Brisbane. Truck trapping and collections using bait animals were more effective methods of collection than light trapping. Population levels were depressed considerably in July when crepuscular activity was limited to evenings. The time of adult emergence shifted seasonally in relation to the tidal cycle. This shift was related to the duration of the ovarian cycle in winter and summer conditions. Abdominal pigmentation was permanent once developed. This provided and reliable criterion for age grading C. marmoratus. Pigment development, digestion and follicle maturation progressed, with few exceptions, synchronously with time. C. marmoratus in this area would be a poor vector of disease owing to its low estimated daily survival rate.
THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY EXTREMES ON THE SURVIVAL OF THE RUTHERGLEN BUG NYSIUS VINITOR (HEMIPTERA: LYGAEIDAE)
Authors: Kehat M. , Wyndham M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractExposure of eggs, nymphs and adults to extremely low temperatures for short durations did not affect the survival rate. However continuous low temperatures, though not extreme, caused considerable mortality in all stages. Adults at continuous low temperatures survived longer than any other stage but they proved to be the most susceptible to high temperatures. At extremely high temperatures the lower the R.H. the higher was the mortality. Whereas during winter temperature greatly influences mortality of all stages, during summer its effect on survival seems to be of little importance.
USE OF THE NEMATODE DELADENUS SIRIDICOLA IN THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF SIREX NOCTILIO IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Bedding R. A. , Akhurst R. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA knowledge of the life cycles of free‐living, mycetophagous nematodes has been utilized in developing methods for the monoxenic mass rearing of hundreds of millions of Deladenus siricidicola Bedding. This tylenchid nematode causes sterility in female Sirex noctilio F., a serious pest of pine trees in southeastern Australia; it has been liberated over many of the areas affected by Sirex using the simple but highly effective techniques described.
INSECT DAMAGE TO PLANTATION‐GROWN EUCALYPTS IN NORTH COASTAL NEW SOUTH WALES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO CHRISTMAS BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)
Authors: Carne P. B. , Greaves R. T. G. , McInnes R. S. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe Christmas beetles Anoplognathus chloropyrus and A. porosus feed on the leaves of eucalypts, particularly E. grandis, in plantations established for wood pulp production. A. chloropyrus is highly gregarious, causes more damage than does A. porosus, and tends to be present in high numbers in alternate years. Because of the timing of the insects’ life cycles, and their feeding preferences, defoliation levels below about 50 % are unlikely to reduce the rate of tree growth. Severe defoliation is limited to young trees planted on old grasslands which provide a favoured breeding place for the insects. Possible methods of minimizing damage by A. chloropyrus are discussed.
A REVIEW OF THE OLIVACEUS SPECIES‐GROUP OF THE GENUS PARASCHZZOGNATHUS OHAUS, AND DESCRIPTION OF THREE NEW SPECIES (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)

NOTES ON THE BIOLOGY AND HOST RANGE OF TELEONEMIA VALIDZCORNIS STÅL (HEMIPTERA: TINGIDAE)
Authors: Harley K. L. S. , Kassulke R. C. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA colony of Teleonemia validicornis from Brazil was studied in quarantine to determine its suitability as a biological control agent for Lantana camara in Australia. The pre‐oviposition period was found to be 10 to 12d, the incubation period 20 to 22d and the duration of the nymphal stages 28 to 3Od. The colony bred freely on Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) and Jacaranda acutifolia (Bignoniaceae). Because of breeding on J. acutifolia the insect was rejected as a control agent and the colony destroyed. The adult and fifth instar nymph are figured.
THE AUSTRALIAN MOTH‐LACEWINGS (NEUROPTERA: ITHONIDAE)
Authors: Riek E. F. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe fourteen Australian species of Ithonidae are referred to three genera. Because the origin of Rs is variable, Heterithone Tillyard is synoymized with Ithone Newman. Megalithone gen. n. is erected for Heterithone megacerca Tillyard (type species) and M. tillyardi sp. n., from south‐eastern Australia. Varnia perloides Walker and V. implexa (Navás), from inland and south‐western Australia are recognised as valid species. The ten species of Ithone Newman are distributed over coastal southern Australia and Tasmania. The following new species are described: J. neopallida sp. n.; I. falcata sp. n.; I. karoondensis sp. n.; I. gracilis sp. n.; I. westraliensis sp. n.; I. burrensis sp. n.; I. wilsoni sp. n.
THE IMMATURE STAGES OF SEXTIUS VIRESCENS (FAIRMAIRE) (HOMOPTER A: MEMBRACIDAE)
Authors: Kitching R. L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe immature stages of the common Australian membracid, Sextius virescens, are described. The nymphal instars are separated on details of the morphology of the head, prothorax and wing‐pads. A rapid method of separation using only the head‐width and extent of the wing‐pads is described. The course of development is shown to involve progressive distortion of the thorax and a consequent downward movement in the position of the head, and this process is exemplified by changes in the ‘frontal ratio’, which is defined and illustrated. Certain generalisations made in the literature about the morphology of the nymphal instars of the Membracidae do not hold for this species.
NEW SPECIES AND RECORDS OF PSEUDOCAECILIIDAE (PSOCOPTERA) FROM SOUTH‐EAST AUSTRALIA
Authors: New T. R. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe genus Pseudoscottiella Badonnel is recorded for the first time from Australia on the basis of three new species from Victoria, crenulata sp. n., rotundata sp. n. and yeni sp. n. Heterocaecilius diogenes Lee and Thornton is reduced to a synonym of Pseudocaecilius brunellus (Tillyard), and the latter transferred to Heterocaecilius Lee and Thornton. Additional Australian records of this species and of Cladioneura pulchripennis Enderlein are given.

Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTThe species Culicoides interrogatus Lee and Reye was previously known from 6 females collected in New South Wales. This paper describes the breeding site, the unknown male and immature stages (pupa, 2nd, 3rd and 4th larval instars) based on material collected at Granite Creek, Queensland.
THE STRUCTURE, FUNCTIONS AND POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THE SUBGENITAL PLATE OF LEAFHOPPERS (HOMOPTERA: CICADELLOIDEA)
Authors: Evans* J. W. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTThe structure of the male genitalia of leafhoppers and the functions of the several parts are described and illustrations given of some modifications of the basic pattern. The occurrence in some male Cicadelloidea and Cercopoidea of 2‐segmented subgenital plates supports the view that these plates, and not, as has sometimes been supposed, the parameres, have been derived from the coxites and styli of the ninth abdominal segment.
