  • Synemon Gratiosa (Graceful Sun Moth) Was Delisted from the Threatened Category Under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 on 6 November 2012
    The Minister deleted this species from the endangered category, effective from 18/05/2013 Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on amendment to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Reason for Conservation Assessment by the Committee This advice follows assessment of information gathered through the Commonwealth’s partnership with Western Australia, which is aimed at systematically reviewing species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state legislation/lists. Synemon gratiosa (graceful sun moth) was delisted from the threatened category under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 on 6 November 2012. It is now included in a non-legislative category of P4 (near threatened) on the Western Australian Priority Fauna List. It was listed as endangered under the EPBC Act in 2009. The Committee provides the following assessment of the appropriateness of the species’ deletion from the EPBC Act list of threatened species. Synemon gratiosa (graceful sun moth) 2. Summary of Species Details Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Synemon gratiosa Westwood, J.O. 1877. State/Territory Listing Included in a non legislative category as ‘near threatened’ on Status the Western Australian Priority Fauna List. Description The graceful sun moth is a medium-sized diurnal flying sun moth that is similar in appearance to a butterfly (WAISS, 1993). It has a wingspan of 25–35 mm with females generally larger than males. The upper surface of the forewings is dark grey, whereas the upper surface of the hind wings and the entire underside of all the wings are bright orange, with some dark grey markings.

The park is managed jointly by the Traditional Owners and the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the NT. As the second largest national park in the NT, its size, ruggedness and the inaccessibility of much of the park has meant that significant areas of both the Victoria River Gorge and Bullita sections had previously not been adequately surveyed.

  • Estimating Time and Space in the Evolution of the Lepidoptera
    Estimating time and space in the evolution of the Lepidoptera Rienk de Jong Several aspects of estimating what happened when and where in the evolution of the Lepidoptera are discussed. Because of their scarcity and often poor preservation, fossils are not very helpful, but at least they demonstrate that, in the Oligocene some taxa of butterflies, perhaps at tribal level or higher, did occur in the Northern as well as in the Southern Hemisphere. The concept of a molecular clock is seen as a most needed test for vicariance explanations of disjunct distributions. Special emphasis is laid on the importance of calibration of the clock. The use of geological vicariance events as calibration points is rejected, because of circularity when vicariance explanations are to be tested. Fossils as calibration points should ideally be replaced by the minimum age of an apomorphous character state demonstrated by the fossil rather than a supposed identity on the basis of overall similarity. Some conditions that directed the evolution of Lepidoptera (called constraints here) are discussed for their possible use as calibration points. Estimation of the evolution in space through time (palaeobiogeography) as found in recent literature is discussed, the often supposed role (of the break-up) of Gondwana in the evolution of the butterflies is challenged, and an alternative hypothesis is given.
