ON THE IDENTITY OF A STRUCTURE OF THE BURSA COPULATRIX IN MORABINE GRASSHOPPERS (ORTHOPTERA: EUMASTACIDAE)
Authors: Key K. H. L. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTThe “filamentous prolongation” of the bursa copulatrix of the Morabinae is found in essentially identical form in some Pyrgomorphidae. It is considered homologous with most of the variously named, usually less slender mesocephalic extensions of the genital chamber found in Acridoidea, but not with the “cephalic production” of the bursa copulatrix referred to by Blackith and Blackith. The term “ventrocephalic median extension” (of genital chamber or bursa copulatrix) is proposed for it.
TWO NEW ADDITIONS TO THE APHID FAUNA OF AUSTRALIA (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE)

DUNG BEETLES (SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE AND APHODIINAE) ACTIVE IN FOREST HABITATS IN SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA DURING WINTER
Authors: Smith T. J. Ridsdill , Weir T. A. , Peck S. B. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTThe abundance of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae:Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) during winter was estimated from captures at dung and carrion baited pitfall traps at 40 sites in native heath and forest habitats in the south of southwestern Australia. Beetles were attracted predominantly to dung baits. Of the 17 species trapped 16 occurred in heath, 10 in open forest (jarrah) and 10 in tall open forest (karri) habitats. Beetles of the tribes Onthophagini and Aphodiini were attracted predominantly to dung baits and were more abundant in heath and open forest than in tall open forest, while beetles of the tribe Scarabaeini were attracted equally to dung and carrion baits, and their abundance did not differ significantly in the three habitat types.
STERILISATION OF THE SCREW‐WORM FLY, CHRYSOMYA BEZZIANA VILLENEUVE (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE), BY GAMMA RADIATION
Authors: Spradbery J. P. , Pound A. A. , Robb J. R. , Tozer R. S. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTThe effect of gamma radiation on the screw‐worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana, was studied to determine the optimum dose and stage for sterilisation. Laboratory cultured flies were exposed in a gamma irradiator with a cesium‐137 source. Treated flies were compared with untreated controls for adult emergence, survival, insemination and fertility. Puparia treated with 5 krad at 1–2 d before emergence were rendered infertile but not otherwise adversely affected. When flies were irradiated early in pupal development, adverse effects were apparent. When late puparia were irradiated with 1–8 krad, adult emergence, survival and rate of insemination were similar to controls. Complete sterility of males and females was achieved with 4 krad. There was no larval survival from eggs when both parents were treated with 1 or more krad but larval survival was recorded from eggs laid by untreated females mated with 1–2.5 krad treated males and from eggs laid by 1–1.5 krad treated females mated with untreated males. There was no recovery of fertility after sterilisation with 4 krad. Irradiation of males at 2–6 krad as late puparia did not impair mating competitiveness in laboratory tests. In a field evaluation of male competitiveness, the release of sterile males at a density of 144 males per km2 per week over a 78 km2 area for 7 weeks resulted in 25 per cent sterility in the native screw‐worm fly population after 4 weeks of releases.
NOTES ON THE BIOLOGY OF CHRYSOMYA NIGRIPES AUBERTIN (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE)
Authors: O'Flynn M. A. 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACT Chrysomya nigripes is an important component of the carrion fauna of southeastern Queensland. It appears to prefer carrion in a more advanced state of decomposition than other species of Chrysomya in the area. Because of its abundance in carrion, it is potentially very useful in forensic investigations.

Authors: Cooper Robert 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn laboratory experiments Chironomus sp. larvae, exposed to the Australian strain of the mosquito pathogenic fungus Culicinomyces clavisporus Couch, Romney and Rao, were infected in the absence of a substrate but were not infected when given a substrate in which to tunnel and construct their cases. Possible reasons for this are discussed
LARVAL INSTAR DETERMINATION AND TEMPERATURE‐DEVELOPMENT STUDIES OF IMMATURE STAGES OF THE COMMON ARMYWORM, MYTHIMNA CONVECTA (WALKER) (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)
Authors: Smith A. M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractLarvae of the common armyworm, Mythimna convecta had 6 or 7 instars when reared on artificial diet at 25°C. Instars could be clearly separated on the basis of head capsule widths, but larval growth did not follow “Dyar's Rule”. Seven instar larvae lived longer and yielded heavier pupae than 6 instar larvae. The developmental periods of eggs, larvae and pupae were measured over a range of temperatures between 10°C to 35°C. Both Pradhan's and Stinner's equations provided a better fit to the observed values than thermal summation. In Victoria, M. convecta would have more generations/year but lower winter survival than the southern armyworm, Persectania ewingii (Westwood).

OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR OF HOMOEOSOMA FARINARIA TURNER (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE) ON SENECIO JACOBAEA L., IN TASMANIA
Authors: Ireson J. E. , McQuillan P. B. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe blue stem borer, Homoeosoma farinaria Turner has a bivoltine life cycle on ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L., in northern Tasmania. Development is continuous, although the insect overwinters as a quiescent larva until the onset of warmer weather in spring. Adults are active from late November and larvae from this generation quickly complete their development during summer. Second generation adults fly from mid‐February until March. Surveys showed that infestations in ragwort were more common in the north than in the south of the State. Four hymenopterous parasites were identified during the study of which a braconid, Apantales sp., was predominant.

THE BUPRESTINS: BITTER PRINCIPLES OF JEWEL BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: BUPRESTIDAE)
Authors: Moore B. P. , Brown W. V. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe occurrence of a series of bitter principles is reported from a wide range of buprestid beetles. These substances, which are named buprestins, are β ‐D‐glucose‐1,2,6‐triesters in which the main esterifying moiety is pyrrole‐2‐carboxylic acid. Sugar solutions, when mixed with the most abundant buprestin A, became unpalatable to meat ants (Iridomyrmex purpureus Smith). The buprestins are considered to be repellents that have been evolved exclusively in Buprestidae and their bearing on biology and mimicry in these beetles is discussed.

GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND SURVIVAL OF ACYRTHOSIPHON KONDOI (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE) ON FIVE CULTIVARS OF LUCERNE
Authors: Wellings P. W. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe performance of Acyrthosiphon kondoi Shinji on winter cuttings of 3 American cultivars of lucerne (cv CUF‐101, cv De Kalb 185 and cv Matador) and 2 Australian cultivars (cv Hunter River and cv Trifecta) was monitored in a laboratory study at 20°C. Growth rates, development times, survival rates, embryo numbers and embryo size were recorded on each variety. Aphids reared on cv Trifecta (a tolerant cultivar) performed significantly better than aphids on other cultivars. No significant differences in performance were noted between aphids reared on cv CUF‐101 and 3 susceptible varieties. High levels of variation in performance statistics were observed within treatments. The problem of discriminating between host‐plant resistance to the aphid and the effect of plant growth activity on the aphid are discussed.
TOXICITY OF PHOSPHINE TO TROGODERMA VARIABILE BALLION (COLEOPTERA: DERMESTIDAE)
Authors: Banks H. J. , Cavanaugh J. A. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe susceptibility to phosphine of larvae and also whole cultures of the warehouse beetle, Trogoderma variabile, was investigated using strains collected from outbreaks of the pest in Australia. The LD99 for active larvae of 1 strain was found to be 6.7 ghm−3 at 25° C for a 20 h exposure. The LD99 for 3 strains of larvae in diapause was substantially greater than for the active larvae investigated, ranging from 24–59 ghm−3 under the same conditions and 4–6 ghm−3 after 120 h exposure. It took at least 42 d for the batches of larvae in diapause to reach end point mortality after exposure to phosphine. Active whole cultures of T. variabile were completely killed with an exposure of 43 ghm−3 at 20° C for 5 d, while whole cultures of larvae in diapause did not survive 25 ghm−3 under the same conditions. The minimum rate resulting in complete control under those conditions was not determined. The dosage mortality data obtained indicate that the dosages for phosphine currently recommended for stored product pest control in grain in Australia are adequate for control of T. variabile.
STRAIN VARIATION IN ZOOPHTHORA RADICANS, A PATHOGEN ON A VARIETY OF INSECT HOSTS IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Milner R. J. , Mahon R. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAn Israeli strain of Zoophthora racdicans (Brefeld) Batko (Zygomycetina: Entomophthoraceae) was first released in Australia for biological control of the spotted alfalfa aphid (SAA), Therioaphis trifolii (Monell) f. maculata in 1979. Isolates derived from epizootics on SAA in subsequent years were compared, isoenzymically, with isolates naturally occurring on Diptera and Lepidoptera. The isolates from SAA were found to be isoenzymically distinct. In addition, these naturally occurring isolates were very low in their infectivity for SAA. It is therefore concluded that the epizootics currently suppressing SAA populations are more likely due to the introduced rather than the indigenous strains of the fungus. In view of the observed genetic variation in Z. radicans, it is proposed that this species would be a suitable candidate for initiating studies on genetic mechanisms in entomophthoran fungi.

A WIND‐ORIENTED FLY TRAP FOR QUANTITATIVE SAMPLING OF ADULT MUSCA VETUSTISSIMA WALKER
Authors: Vogt W. G. , Runko S. , Starick N. T. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA wind‐oriented bait trap is described for sampling populations of bush fly (Musca vetustissima). The trap is less costly than the current “West Australian” blowfly trap, easier to maintain and operate, but samples just as effectively. The trap is baited with a mixture of cattle dung, minced liver, and sodium sulphide, in which blowfly larvae have developed for 2–3 d at 26°C. The function of the larvae is to maintain the attractiveness of the bait at a constant level for up to 2 d in the field.

SEASONAL OCCURRENCE OF THE MOSQUITO PATHOGENIC FUNGUS CULICINOMYCES CLAVISPORUS IN A NATURAL HABITAT
Authors: Frances S. P. , Lee D. J. , Russell R. C. , Panter C. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA longitudinal study to investigate the natural hosts and occurrence of the mosquito pathogenic fungus, Culicinomyces clavisporus was conducted at the Nattai River, Mittagong, New South Wales. The fungus was isolated from Aedes rupestris on 16 occasions, Aedes rubrithorax on 1 occasion, Aedes sp. on 1 occasion, Dasyhelea sp. on 8 occasions, a Chironomidae larva on 1 occasion and moist sediment once. With the exception of 1 isolate, which was from an Aedes larva in a groundpool, all of the infected larvae were collected from small rockpools on a trachyte weir. The study indicated the fungus did not persist and recycle in those rockpools but was washed in when river levels rose. The occurrence of the fungus had a seasonal bias, with 24 of 28 isolates obtained in the cooler months of April to August. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
ESTIMATING POPULATION DENSITY OF SAMEA MULTIPLICALIS GUENEE (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE) ON THE FLOATING WEED SALVINIA USING BERLESE FUNNELS
Authors: Whiteman J. B. , Room P. M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractSalvinia containing 2 known population densities of Samea multiplicalis larvae of 3 different sizes was dried in Berlese funnels using 100 w, 200 w and 300 w light bulbs. Highest recoveries were obtained using 100 w with 70% of small, 80% of medium and 75% of large larvae recovered after 48 h. Large larvae were recovered more quickly using 300 w (80% in 4 h) but many small larvae died before being extracted. Medium and large larvae were recovered more quickly at the higher population density except at 300 w.
