SINCLAIR Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT. Nineteen endemic Australian species of the Gondwanan genus Ceratomerus Philippi are revised, including four described and 15 new species: C. albistylus Hardy, C. athertonius n.sp., C. attenuatus n.sp., C. barringtonensis n.sp., C. bickeli n.sp., C. bulbosus n.sp., C. campbelli (Paramonov), C. falcatus n.sp., C. globosus n.sp., C. hibernatus n.sp., C. inflexus Hardy, C. lobatus n.sp., C. maculatus n.sp., C. malleolus n.sp., C. macalpinei n.sp., C. ordinatus Hardy, C. oreas n.sp., C. orientalis n.sp., and C. victoriae n.sp. This is primarily an aquatic genus, restricted to cascading rocky rainforest streams of eastern Australia from the Tablelands near Cairns to Tasmania. Adults prey on flying aquatic insects and are collected on emergent rocks and riparian vegetation. The Australian ceratomerine fauna comprises three species groups, with the C. campbelli group apparently most closely related to the C. paradoxus group of Chile. The C. ordinatus group appears closely related to species from New Zealand and Ecuador (high elevations). A key to all Australian species is included and zoogeography discussed.

    NPA Bulletin National Parks Association ACT Vol 19 No 4 June 1982 The Sentry Box , Gudgenbv Nature Reserve Registered by Australia Post - Publication No NBH 0857 ISSN 0727—8831 PRESIDENT'S FOREWORD Billy Billy Ridge Threatened by Ski Development The Department of the Capital Territory Is currently negotiating with a company seeking a lease to construct skiing facilities on Billy Billy Ridge, above Smokers Gap. This ridge forms the southern flank of the Tidbinbilla Valley with the boundary of the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve running essentially along the ridge top. The lease under consideration is for a trial period of four years to allow skiing conditions using artificial snow to be evaluated. As more details of these developments have become available (somewhat grudgingly) from the DCT, our concern for their environmental consequences has mounted. If the proposal goes ahead in the form we now understand, severe environmental damage will follow. Erection of buildings, roads and car parks will entail the clearing of native forests; construction of ski runs will mean not only the clearing of native forest, but of almost all vegetation for slope grooming. All this ^construction means not only loss of forest cover, but alteration of water run-off conditions, erosion, increased stream turbidity and destruction of fauna habitat. The damming of Gibraltar Creek for water supplies (both for snow-making and visitor use) will permanently alter the flow conditions in Gibraltar Creek, threatening its aquatic flora and fauna Including the already endangered Austral Pillwort. Alteration of the flow in Gibraltar Creek could also degrade picnic areas such as Gibraltar Falls, Woods Reserve and others Further downstream along Paddys River.
