ARTHROPOD SPECIES IN SOYBEANS IN SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND
Authors: Evans M. L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractArthropods were collected from soybean crops in southeast Queensland over a 3 yr period. A total of 304 species in 104 families and 17 orders were found. Records of abundance are given, and species classed as phytophagous (42%), predatory (28%), parasitic (24%) or non‐pest (6%). Predator‐prey, parasite‐host and pathogen records are presented. The advantages of using a variety of sampling techniques and of rearing specimens are discussed.
A SURVEY OF DOMESTIC CONTAINER‐BREEDING MOSQUITOES IN NEW SOUTH WALES FOR THE PRESENCE OF AEDES AEGYPTI (L.), THE VECTOR OF DENGUE FEVER
Authors: Russell Richard C. , Bryan Joan H. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractBetween January and April 1984, a comprehensive survey of New South Wales was undertaken to determine whether Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue fever in Australia, was present. No Ae aegypti larvae occurred in the 3930 samples collected, and it appears that the species is not present in N. S. W., thus the state is not currently receptive to the introduction of dengue fever or yellow fever.
RESISTANCE OF EUCALYPTUS MARGINATA TO PERTHIDA GLYPHOPA (LEPIDOPTERA: INCURVARIIDAE)
Authors: Mazanec Z. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAnatomy of leaves of jarrah, Eucalyptus marginata Donn ex Smith, and their response to the presence of the jarrah leafminer Perthida glyphopa Common, are described. Depending on the reaction to its eggs and larvae, 4 types of trees were recognised: (a) susceptible to oviposition, egg development and larval feeding; (b) resistant to egg development; (c) resistant to larval feeding; (d) resistant to oviposition and egg development. Leaves of types a, b and c had identical anatomy, whereas those of the only known tree of type d had a different structure of the mesophyll and lacked tannin in the palisade tissue.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR OF ARMIGERES MILNENSIS LEE (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Authors: Charlwood J. D. , Galgal K. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractUsing a novel trap, the oviposition, emergence pattern and biting cycle of an isolated population of Armigeres milnensis from coastal Papua New Guinea, were determined. Biting and oviposition occurred primarily at dusk with a minor peak at dawn. Emergence of both sexes occurred throughout the diel. Polynomial regression analysis revealed that time of day was a better predictor of biting activity than light intensity. Nevertheless, biting was initiated during a mid‐afternoon eclipse of the sun. Follicle maturation, following a blood meal, was most rapid at temperatures in the range 26–29 C. At lower temperatures, the rate of development was significantly slower and at 32 C development was arrested. Adult survival rates were low, 160 of 196 females dissected being nulliparous, the oldest being 4‐parous. The results are discussed with reference to the potential transmission of filariasis by Ar. milnensis.
THE DEVELOPMENT AND SURVIVAL OF PODISUS SAGITTUS (HEMIPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE) ON ARTIFICIAL DIETS
Authors: Adidharma Dhamayanti 
Published: April 2007

bThe effects of 4 diets on population parameters of Podisus sagittus (L.), a pentatomid predator of Lepidoptera, were compared. Direct comparisons were made of survival, stadial lengths, generation times and predator weights at 20, 25, and 33°C. Temperature influenced stadial lengths, generation time and survival but not weight. Improved survival compared with controls was recorded for diet I at 20°C and diet I and II at 25°C. On diet III adults were produced only at 33°C, in which survival was similar to that in the controls.
A NEW SPECIES OF COORILLA DUNNET AND MARDON (SIPHONAPTERA: ISCHNOPSYLLIDAE) FROM AUSTRALIA

b Coorilla allisoni sp. n. is described from Mormopterus beccarii (Peters) (Chiroptera: Molossidae) in southern Queensland. The diagnostic characters of the male genitalia are illustrated and compared with those of C. longictena Dunnet and Mardon and C. similis Mardon and Allison.
PARASITISM OF MYTHIMNA CONVECTA (WALKER) (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) LARVAE IN SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND
Authors: Broadley R. H. 
Published: April 2007

bNineteen collections of Mythimna convecta (Walker) larvae, made during an extensive outbreak of this species in winter barley in 1978, revealed a total of 8 parasite species, belonging to the families Tachinidae, Ichneumonidae and Braconidae. Mean percentage parasitism of M. convecta larvae by all parasites was 18.2%, and highest parasitism in any collection was 52.3%. Apanteles ruficrus Haliday was the dominant parasite.
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE MORTALITY OF MYZUS PERSICAE (SULZER) DUE TO THE FUNGAL PATHOGEN ZOOPHTHORA PHALLOIDES BATKO
Authors: Glare T. R. , Milner R. J. , Chilvers G. A. 
Published: April 2007

bNymphs of Myzus persicae inoculated with Zoophthora phalloides were killed at each temperature tested in the range 10–22°C. Mortality was around 50% at 12, 15 and 18°C, but was considerably reduced outside this range. Deaths occurred soonest at 18°C (LT50—6.8 days). The low temperature requirement of this fungus limits its potential as a biocontrol agent for aphids in Australia.
THE INTRODUCTION INTO AUSTRALIA OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS OF HYPEROMYZUS LACTUCAE (L.) (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE)
Authors: Carver Mary , Woolcock L. T. 
Published: April 2007

THE RELEASE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF APHIDIUS ERVI HALIDAY (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONOIDEA) IN LUCERNE APHIDS IN EASTERN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Milne Wendy M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractBetween June 1980 and October 1981, Aphidius ervi was released at 59 sites throughout the lucerne‐growing areas of New South Wales and at 4 sites in southern Queensland as part of a biological control program against Acyrthosiphon kondoi and, more recently, A. pisum. Post‐release surveys revealed that A. ervi had become established at 26 of 29 sites checked in N. S. W. The parasite is now widely dispersed in N. S. W. and Queensland. The hypothesis that the establishment of A. ervi is dependent on the prior presence of A. pisum was not supported by results obtained in this study. Establishment in many areas preceded the arrival of A. pisum.
EXOCRINE GLANDS IN THE FORELEGS OF DUNG BEETLES IN THE GENUS ONITIS F. (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE)
Authors: Houston W. W. K. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractTwo novel groups of exocrine glands on the forelegs of Scarabaeine dung beetles of the genus Onitis are described. One, located on the protrochanters and confined to the male, is present in most species of Onitis. The other, located on the procoxae in conjunction with disseminating structures on both the procoxae and the profemora, is present in both sexes and probably occurs throughout the scarabaeine dung beetles. It is speculated that the glands are involved in close range species recognition and sexual attraction.
DEVELOPMENT OF MEROPHYAS DIVULSANA (WALKER) (LEPIDOPTERA: TORTRICIDAE) IN RELATION TO LUCERNE HARVESTING AS A CONTROL STRATEGY
Authors: Bishop A. L. , McKenzie H. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractDevelopmental times for Merophyas divulsana are given at 15 ± 2, 20 ± 2 and 25 ± 2°C. These data were related to an experiment designed to investigate cutting of lucerne for M. divulsana control. Periods of infestation and damage approximately 5 weeks apart appeared predictable from field distribution data and this was supported by the developmental data derived at constant temperatures. It is proposed that potential outbreaks could be reduced by varying harvesting times to correspond with a 3 week period when the pest was least damaging and most susceptible to control.
SEASONAL ABUNDANCE OF MOSQUITOES IN A NATIVE FOREST OF THE MURRAY VALLEY OF VICTORIA, 1979–1985
Authors: Russell Richard C. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractFrom 1979 to 1985, mosquitoes were collected from Kanyapella state forest near Echuca in the Murray Valley floodplain of Victoria using dry‐ice baited light traps. 12 species were recorded during the study, and their relative prevalence is presented as seasonal values. Culex annulirostris Skuse was the predominant summer species, and Aedes sagax (Skuse) was generally the most common species during autumn and winter, but each of the following species, Aedes bancroftianus Edwards, Ae sagax, Ae theobaldi (Taylor), Anopheles annulipes Walker s. l., and Cx annulirostris, was the most common during at least one of the spring periods.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR OF THREE POLISTINE WASPS (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE)
Authors: Itǒ Yosiaki 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn August 1984, the social behaviour of 3 species of polistine wasps was observed near Darwin. I saw no overt dominance behaviour among 3 gravid females of Polities bernardii richardsi Soika which founded a nest. Another non‐gravid female stayed mainly on the nest. In Ropalidia sp. nr. variegata (Smith), dominant females frequently attacked others on post‐emergence stage nests. On one nest only the top‐ranked female had developed ovaries. Females on pre‐emergence stage nests were peaceful and many had developed ovaries. The nest consisted of 2 rows of cells and each mature colony tended to have multiple combs. In R. gregaria gregaria (de Saussure), “excess” females, who founded a nest but could not settle on the small just‐founded nest, were frequently aggressive.

AbstractThe female, male, pupa and larva of Culicoides longior sp. n. are described from southeast Queensland. The female of C. ornatus Taylor is redescribed and the male and larva described for the first time from Queensland specimens. The adults are compared with a series from Darwin, Northern Territory. A diagnosis of the 2 species is provided. Larval and pupal keys are amended to include the larva and pupa of C. longior and the larva of C. ornatus.
COMPARISON BETWEEN TRIMEDLURE AND CAPILURE®–ATTRACTANTS FOR MALE CERATITIS CAPITATA (WIEDEMANN) (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE)
Authors: Hill A. R. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractCapilure®, a product containing trimedlure mixed with extenders, was found to be as effective as trimedlure alone in capturing male Mediterranean fruit flies. Capilure®, used at a rate of 3 mL per Steiner trap on cotton wick dispensers, attracted male flies for 36 weeks in a citrus orchard in Perth, Western Australia, compared with 11 weeks for the same amount of pure trimedlure. Capilure® which had been exposed in traps for 36 weeks was as effective as fresh Capilure®.
INABILITY OF DERAEOCORIS SIGNATUS (DISTANT) (HEMIPTERA: MIRIDAE) TO SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE ON COTTON WITHOUT PREY
Authors: Chinajariyawong A. , Harris V. E. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract Deraeocoris signatus nymphs developed to adults when provided with cotton tips or squares plus cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover) or aphids only. Nymphs fed only on tips or squares all died within 3 d. Adults supplied with aphids plus tips or squares survived about 9 d longer than adults supplied with tips or squares only. Females provided with aphids produced eggs but females denied aphids did not. These findings, together with an absence of observed damage to cotton, warrant the exclusion of D. signatus from the complex of sap‐sucking bugs considered to be damaging to early‐season cotton in eastern Australia.

THE IDENTITY AND IMMATURE STAGES OF PATAGONIODES FARINARIA (TURNER) COMB. N. (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE: PHYCITINAE) IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Authors: McQuillan P. B. , Ireson J. E. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe morphology of the immature stages and adult moth of the bivoltine blue stem borer, Patagoniodes farinaria (Turner) comb. n., is described and figured. Moths from eastern Australia and New Zealand appear to be conspecific and the species appears not to be introduced from Europe where related phycitines of similar biology occur. The blue stem borer exhibits features atypical of Homoeosoma Curtis, in which it was originally described, and generally conforms with Patagoniodes Roesler, to which it is here referred. Larvae develop in the stems of introduced ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L., and the native Senecio lautus Sol. ex Willd. (sens. lat.).

INSECT DAMAGE TO ABORIGINAL RELICS AT BURIAL AND ROCK‐ART SITES NEAR CARNARVON IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND
Authors: Wylie F. R. , Walsh G. L. , Yule R. A. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractDamage to Aboriginal artwork on rock faces in the Carnarvon region of central Queensland by species of mud‐nesting wasps, principally Sceliphron laetum (Smith), and by subterranean termites is described. A more serious conservation problem is the severe damage being caused by the termite Nasutitermes carnarvonensis (Hill) to human remains at many burial sites. Details reported here are the first confirmed account of this habit for an Australian termite. Infestation of burials may be related to nesting and water requirements of the termites. Insect species associated with the art sites are listed, and prospects for the prevention of damage by mud wasps and termites are discussed.

ANAGYRUS SACCHARICOLA TIMBERLAKE (HYMENOPTERA: ENCYRTIDAE) AND OTHER BIOTA ASSOCIATED WITH SACCHARICOCCUS SACCHARI (COCKERELL) (HOMOPTERA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE) IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Carver Mary , Inkerman P. A. , Ashbolt N. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe encyrtid parasite Anagyrus saccharicola Timberlake was introduced into Australia from Hawaii in 1953 as a biological control agent of Saccharicoccus sacchari (Cockerell), the pink sugarcane mealybug, but was believed not to have become established. However, a recent survey has shown it to be widespread in the principal sugarcane growing areas of Queensland and New South Wales. Other natural enemies of S. sacchari include the fungus Aspergillus parasiticus Spear and the insect predators, Cacoxenus perspicax (Knab), Coccodiplosis sp., Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant and Oplobates woodwardi Gross. S. sacchari was attended by the ants Paratrechina probably vaga (Forel), P. prob. bourbonica (Forel), Camponotus prob. chloroticus Emery, Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nylander), Pheidole megacephala (F.) and Iridomyrmex sp.
DISTINCTIVE MOTORY BEHAVIOUR IN SOME ADULT PSYLLIDS (HOMOPTERA: PSYLLOIDEA)
Authors: Carver Mary 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAdults of both sexes of observed psyllids in the genera Anoeconeossa Taylor, Blastopsylla Taylor, Australopsylla Tuthill and Taylor, Glycaspis Taylor and Ctenarytaina Ferris and Klyver walk and stand on the basal tarsomeres, carrying the apical tarsomeres aloft. For most of the time that the species of the first 4 genera are stationary, some or all of their apical tarsomeres oscillate rapidly; those of Ctenarytaina vibrate rather than oscillate. The apical tarsomeres of adult Protyora Kieffer and Schedotrioza Tuthill and Taylor are usually grounded and oscillate weakly and rarely, whereas those of Acizzia Heslop‐Harrison are grounded and do not oscillate. The habit is best developed in lerp‐inhabiting Spondyliaspididae and could be a means of substrate‐borne vibrational communication. Adult Glycaspis walk on the fore and mid legs only, usually dragging the hind legs.
HOST‐ATTRACTION STUDIES OF CULEX ANNULIROSTRIS SKUSE (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) NEAR ECHUCA, IN THE MURRAY VALLEY OF VICTORIA
Authors: Russell Richard C. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe attraction to hosts of a population of Culex annulirostris in a state forest near Echuca, Victoria, was investigated using chicken, guinea pig, dry ice and human bait collections. Chicken bait attracted more females than guinea pig bait in both early and late summer; proportions parous of the different bait samples were similar. Dry ice bait attracted samples with similar proportions parous to human bait. Human bait collections revealed an early evening and a smaller morning peak of biting activity. There was an indication that nulliparous females fed earlier than older females.
