Much of the tablelands is also set on a volcanic plateau making the soil rich in nutrients and home to many thriving farms and producers. The area is known for its beef cattle, dairy products and crops such as bananas, mangoes, avocadoes, coffee, mixed vegetables and even tobacco. The main towns on the Tablelands are Mareeba, Malanda, Millaa Millaa, Kuranda, Yungaburra and of course, Atherton.

Accessory Publication the Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, And
Accessory Publication The Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, and Hydrometridae of Australia (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) with a reanalysis of the phylogeny of semiaquatic bugs Nils Møller AndersenA and Tom A. WeirB AZoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark. BCSIRO Entomology, GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract The semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera-Heteroptera, infraorder Gerromorpha), comprising water striders and their allies, are familiar inhabitants of water surfaces in all continents. Currently, the world fauna has more than 1,900 described species classified in eight families and 165 genera.A phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony was performed on a dataset comprising 56 morphological characters scored for 24 examplar genera covering all families and subfamilies of Gerromorpha. The phylogenetic relationships found concur with those presented by Andersen (1982) except that the relationships between some subfamilies of Veliidae andGerridae are unresolved. The Australian fauna of Gerromorpha comprises six families, 30 genera, and 123 species. One third of the genera and more than 80% of the species are endemic to Australia. Previously, we have covered all Australian species of the families Gerridae, Hermatobatidae, and Veliidae. The present paper deals with the families Hebridae, Hydrometridae, and Mesoveliidae. We offer redescriptions or descriptive notes on all previously described species, describe Mesovelia ebbenielseni sp. nov. (Mesoveliidae), Austrohebrus apterus, gen. et sp. nov., and Hebrus pilosus sp. nov. (Hebridae), and synonymise Hebrus woodwardi Lansbury, syn. nov. (Hebridae) and Hydrometra halei Hungerford and Evans, syn. nov. (Hydrometridae). We present keys for the identification of genera and species, and map the distribution of all species.
