Neolucia hobartensis albolineata ssp. nov. is illustrated, diagnosed, described and compared with the nominate subspecies N. hobartensis hobartensis (Miskin, 1890) from Tasmania and N. hobartensis monticola Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914 from northern New South Wales, Australia. The new subspecies is restricted to montane areas (mainly >1000 m) in subalpine and alpine habitats on the mainland in southeastern Australia (southern NSW, ACT, VIC) where its larvae specialize on Epacris spp. (Ericaceae). It thus belongs to a distinct set of 22 butterfly taxa that are endemic and narrowly restricted to montane areas (>600 m, but mainly >900 m) on the tablelands and plateaus of mainland southeastern Australia. Monitoring of these taxa, including N. hobartensis ssp., is urgently required to assess the extent to which global climate change, particularly temperature rise and large-scale fire regimes, are key threatening processes.

Thanks to Lynne for stepping in for me while Bron and I took off for 5 weeks out west and north. By all reports thing have gone smoothly and there is no reason why Bron and I can’t disappear more often leaving things in the capable hands of Lynne and the Committee. I think things went smoother here than they did on the trip – I suspect most of you would have seen the pictures of our truck resting on a gas bottle while I replaced a spring shackle. But that was all part of the fun and adventure. The changes to the Constitution were passed and have been lodged with Access Canberra and approved, so now we have an ‘anniversary based’ membership. This should make things a lot simpler for the membership secretary as renewal will trickle across the year instead of being a hectic few months made worse by the Christmas/New Year period. Next weekend (the 17/18 Aug) Lynne and I will be attending the NSW Association meeting in Newcastle so hopefully we will have some more to report on issues from the National Association and future interaction.
