ISSN 0067-1975 Three New Species of Psaltoda Stål from Eastern Australia (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea: Cicadidae) M.S. MOULDS Entomology Department, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. Psaltoda antennetta n.sp. and P. maccallumi n.sp. are cicadas restricted to rainforest habitats in northeastern Queensland. Psaltoda mossi n.sp. is far more widespread, ranging through eastern Queensland to northern New South Wales. Psaltoda antennetta is remarkable for its foliate antennal flagella, an attribute almost unique among the Cicadoidea. Relationships of these three species are discussed and a revised key to all Psaltoda species provided. MOULDS, M.S., 2002. Three new species of Psaltoda Stål from eastern Australia (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea: Cicadidae). Records of the Australian Museum 54(3): 325–334. The genus Psaltoda Stål is endemic to eastern Australia. BMNH, The Natural History Museum, London; DE, private Twelve species have been recognised previously (Moulds, collection of D. Emery, Sydney; JM, private collection of 1990; Moss & Moulds, 2000).

  • Office of the Inspector-General Emergency Management GPO Box 1425, Mail Cluster 15.7 BRISBANE, QLD 4001 [email protected]
    Office of the Inspector-General Emergency Management GPO Box 1425, Mail Cluster 15.7 BRISBANE, QLD 4001 [email protected] I agree to my submission being treated as outlined in the “Guide to providing submissions” on the IGEM website. Dear Office of the Inspector-General Emergency Management Review Team, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the 2018 Queensland Bushfires Review. This submission is made on behalf of the Queensland Conservation Council Inc. (QCC). QCC was established in 1969 and is the peak environment conservation organisation in Queensland, with some 50-member groups including ten regional councils, as well as thousands of supporters. We note that the review is focused on key preparedness and response elements for both bushfires and hot weather events, with scope to reflect on the heatwaves in Far North Queensland in November 2018. QCC recognises the tragedy of recent extreme weather events, with loss of life, extensive property damage and the loss of areas of the state’s natural heritage that will take hundreds of years to recover. The cumulative impacts of climate change, including unprecedented extreme temperatures and increased variability in rainfall that have led to the warming and drying of previously humid, subtropical areas1. Further information on this issue can be found in the Climate Council’s recent report Escalating Queensland Bushfire Threat: ​ Interim conclusions and Be prepared: Climate Change and the Queensland Bushfire threat. ​ ​ ​ The impacts of climate change have destabilised Queensland’s historically fire resilient rainforests such as those in the Eungella National Park and Deepwater National Park and led to the catastrophic fire conditions experienced.

A majestic lighthouse, my first ever sighting of a turtle in its natural environment and a flock of gleaming white birds overhead to welcome me as I stepped off a boat onto a tropical island, known as Low Isles. As the new caretakers of this island, Peter and Jane Nolan have the pleasure of calling this island their home for the next year. They share with us how they intend to help this little piece of paradise stay just that! (See page 34) Since that day at Low Isles I have fallen in love with many of the attributes offered by Port Douglas, the weather, the food, the landscape and, to be honest, the people. The slower pace of life means people do have time to engage; a friendly smile, a beach stroll hello or sharing a conversation over your morning cup of coffee or with the local boutique owner.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.
