Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1
© Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1 G. CASSIS & L. VANAGS Abstract: The Australian genera of the Scutelleridae are redescribed, with a species exemplar of the ma- le genitalia of each genus illustrated. Scanning electron micrographs are also provided for key non-ge- nitalic characters. The Australian jewel bug fauna comprises 13 genera and 25 species. Heissiphara is described as a new genus, for a single species, H. minuta nov.sp., from Western Australia. Calliscyta is restored as a valid genus, and removed from synonymy with Choerocoris. All the Australian species of Scutelleridae are described, and an identification key is given. Two new species of Choerocoris are des- cribed from eastern Australia: C. grossi nov.sp. and C. lattini nov.sp. Lampromicra aerea (DISTANT) is res- tored as a valid species, and removed from synonymy with L. senator (FABRICIUS). Calliphara nobilis (LIN- NAEUS) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Calliphara billardierii (FABRICIUS) and C. praslinia praslinia BREDDIN are removed from the Australian biota. The identity of Sphaerocoris subnotatus WAL- KER is unknown and is incertae sedis. A description is also given for the Neotropical species, Agonoso- ma trilineatum (FABRICIUS); a biological control agent recently introduced into Australia to control the pasture weed Bellyache Bush (Jatropha gossypifolia, Euphorbiaceae). Coleotichus borealis DISTANT and C. (Epicoleotichus) schultzei TAUEBER are synonymised with C. excellens (WALKER). Callidea erythrina WAL- KER is synonymized with Lampromicra senator. Lectotype designations are given for the following taxa: Coleotichus testaceus WALKER, Coleotichus excellens, Sphaerocoris circuliferus (WALKER), Callidea aureocinc- ta WALKER, Callidea collaris WALKER and Callidea curtula WALKER. -
Biodiversity Summary: Wimmera, Victoria
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations. -

Casuarina Pauper (Belah) Woodlands of Northwest Victoria: Monitoring and Regeneration
CASUARINA PAUPER (BELAH) WOODLANDS OF NORTHWEST VICTORIA: MONITORING AND REGENERATION Katrina E. Callister, BAppSc(Hons) This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree of PhD University of Ballarat PO Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia October 2004 ABSTRACT Casuariha pauper (Belah) semi-arid woodland is one of the highest priority communities for conservation in Victoria. Little is known about its pre-European distribution and structure, and the long-term future of remnants is threatened through failure of regeneration of overstorey species and perennial understorey. Research was conducted to determine the original structure and distribution of C. pauper woodland in northwest Victoria, the effectiveness and cost of alternate methods of monitoring condition, and the regeneration requirements of perennial components. Historical survey maps and other records were used to determine the likely distribution and structure of semi-arid woodlands at the time of settlement. High variability in woodland structure and composition at the time of survey (1860s-1930s) was found, suggesting the need for caution when applying benchmarks. More than 96 % of semi-arid woodlands on private land in the study area have been cleared, highlighting the conservation significance of remnants and the need to manage remnants to promote regeneration to ensure their continued survival. Remote methods of vegetation condition assessment were compared with field-based methods to determine the most cost-effective approach. Only two condition classes (good and poor) were reliably mapped using the remote techniques investigated (overall accuracy 87.1-94.9%). Whilst field techniques gave greater differentiation at survey sites, when interpolated across the study area, maps were no more accurate. -
