  • COAG National Bushfire Inquiry
    Appendix D Fire history in Australia This appendix summarises the available information on major bushfire events in each state and territory as far back as records allow. There are many inconsistencies and gaps in the available information because there are no nationally agreed criteria for defining a ‘significant fire year’ or a ‘major fire event’. The available information shows the following: • Major fire events are a periodic feature in all states and territories. • The areas of land that are affected by fire continue to be significant. • There have been 59 recorded bushfire events where there has been loss of life, with a positive trend being the significant decline in the loss of life from bushfires in the last 20 years. • There have been 24 fire events resulting in major stock losses (defined as more than 1000 head). • There have been 21 fire events resulting in large-scale loss of houses (defined as more than 50 houses).

  • Ephemeroptera Galactica
    Australian Journal of Entomology (1999) 38, 159–167 Irpacaenis, a new genus of Caenidae (Ephemeroptera) from Australia Phillip J Suter Department of Environmental Management and Ecology, La Trobe University, Albury/Wodonga Campus, PO Box 821, Wodonga, Vic. 3689, Australia (Email: [email protected]). Abstract A new genus, Irpacaenis, is erected to include three new species of Australian caenid mayflies based on nymphal and subimago characteristics. The genus is diagnosed by weakly sclerotised straight forceps which are not grooved but are hooked apically; styliger plate and associated sclerites weakly sclerotised in the subimago; and, in the nymph, the absence of long setae over much of the body, rugose appearance caused by smooth tubercles which cover the body and legs, the presence of a medial projection on tergite 2 which is long and narrow with the length greater than the basal width, and the presence of a row of short sharp spines on the posterior margins of abdominal tergites 1, 2 and 7–10. The distribution of Irpacaenis extends from northern Queensland down the eastern coast of Australia to the Gippsland area of Victoria. Key words Australia, Caenidae, mayflies, new species.
