Plants Moths and Butterflies Foodplants of a Selection of North East Queensland Butterflies, Moths and Other Insects North East Queensland has Australia's largest, brightest and most diverse assemblage of butterflies and moths. In the Wet Tropics alone there are well over 60% of all the continent's butterfly species. Below are species of plants which are caterpillar food hosts of the most impressive of moths, butterflies and selected insects of North East Queensland (Cooktown to Mackay and westerly tablelands). Common names are used for all butterflies, whereas the majority of moths are identified by their Latin names. The caterpillars of many species accept the foliage of more than one host plant species as food. Of more than 20,000 Australian species of moths and butterflies there are only about 385 butterfly species.

  • Notes on the Systematic Position of Sinobirma Malaisei
    ©Entomologischer Verein Apollo e.V. Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at 3 6 9 Notes on the systematic position of Sinobirma malaisei (Bryk 1944) and the genera Tagoropsis, Maltagorea, and Pseudantheraea (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae: Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini) by Wolfgang A. NASSiGd) and Rolf G. O b e r p r ie l e r Abstract: The genus Sinobirma Bryk 1944 (stat. nov. as a genus), which was de­ scribed as a subgenus of the Australian genus Opodiphthera Wallengren 1859 (Saturniinae, Saturniini), is not at all closely related to the Australasian complex of Saturniidae. In contrast, it is a member of the African group of genera related to Tagoropsis Felder 1874 (Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini), as evidenced by the imaginal habitus and the structure of the male genitalia. There is evidence that Sinobirma malaisei (Bryk 1944) comb, nov., the sole species in the genus, known only from the type locality in Yunnan, may be closely related to some species of Maltagorea Bouyer 1993 from Madagascar. Thus, it seems possible that Malta­ gorea is a paraphyletic assembly rather than a monophyletic genus. Possible rela­ tionships in the group of genera are discussed. Anmerkungen zur systematischen Stellung vonSinobirma malaisei (B r y k 1944) und den GattungenTagoropsis, Maltagorea und Pseudantheraea (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae: Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini) Zusammenfassung: Sinobirma Bryk 1944, als Untergattung der australischen Gattung Opodiphthera Wallengren 1859 beschrieben, wird als eine separate Gat­ tung (stat. nov.) erkannt, die keine nähere Verwandtschaft zu den australisch-neu- guineanischen Arten rund um Opodiphthera (Saturniinae, Saturniini) aufweist. Statt dessen verweisen Imaginalhabitus und männliche Genitalmorphologie sie zu der af­ rikanischen Gattungsgruppe um Tagoropsis Felder 1974 (Saturniinae, Pseudaphe­ liini).

Abstract: A study was undertaken of the floristic patterns in coastal rainforest (low closed forest) of Shoalwater Bay, central Queensland. The site encompasses 60 km of coastline, extending from latitude 22° 08’ 30’’ to 22° 30’ 0” and longitude 150° 02’ 00” to 150° 24’ 30”. The rainforest grows on coastal Holocene sand dunes, swales and sand flats, distributed as a series of 27 discrete patches greater than one hectare along 60 kilometres of coastline. Mean patch size was 10.7 hectares (maximum 150 hectares). The flora was predominantly woody, and lacked the complex growth forms of Webb (1968). Floristic links with central and north Queensland were strong, with some species distributions extending into Malesia and the Pacific. Three physical strata, emergent (composed of trees), canopy (composed of trees, vines and epiphytes) and sub-canopy (trees, vines and herbs) were recognised. The herb layer was very poorly developed. Eighty-one species were recorded, representing 42 families and 72 genera. Sixty three quadrats were sampled across the rainforest patches to measure abundance of all vascular taxa using frequency score. Five floristic groups were defined from agglomerative classification analysis, one representing mixed forest, two representing low microphyll vine forest (LMVF) and two representing microphyll vine thicket (MVT).

Januar August 2018 2018 New Species of Aenetus from Sumatra, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) and a 5,000 km biogeographic disjunction John R. GREHAN, THOMAS J. WITT & NIKOLAI IGNATEV Abstract Discovery of Aenetus sumatraensis nov.sp. from northern Sumatra expands the distribution range of this genus well into southeastern Asia along the Greater and Lesser Sunda. The species belongs to the A. tegulatus clade distributed between northern Australia, New Gui- nea, islands west of New Guinea and the Lesser Sunda that are separated by over 5,000 km from A. sumatraensis nov.sp.. The Sumatran record either represents local differentiation from a formerly widespread ancestor or it is part a larger distribution of the A. tegulatus clade in the Greater Sunda that has not yet been discovered. The bursa copulatrix of the Australian species referred to as A. tegulatus is different from specimens examined in New Guinea and Ambon Islands (locality for the type) and is therefore referred to here as A. ther- mistes stat.rev.

The wild legume, Mucuna consists of about 100 varieties/accessions and are in great demand as food, livestock feed and pharmaceutically valued products. Mucuna seeds consist of high protein, high carbohydrates, high fiber, low lipids, adequate minerals and meet the requirement of essential aminoacids. The seeds also possess good functional properties and in vitro protein digestibility. Hydrothermal treatments, fermentation and germination have been shown to be most effective in reducing the antinutrients of Mucuna seeds. Several antinutritional compounds of Mucuna seeds serve in health care and considerable interest has been drawn towards their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. All parts of Mucuna plant are reported to possess useful phytochemicals of high medicinal value of human and veterinary importance and also constitute as an important raw material in Ayurvedic and folk medicines. Mucuna seeds constitute as a good source of several alkaloids, antioxidants, antitumor and antibacterial compounds. Seeds are the major source of L-DOPA, which serve as a potential drug in providing symptomatic relief for Parkinson's disease. As cultivar differences in Mucuna influences the quantity of L-DOPA and lectin in seeds, future investigations should direct towards the selection of germplasm with low L-DOPA and lectin for human and animal consumption, while high L-DOPA for pharmaceutical purposes.

  • Revisiting Inscriptions on the Investigator Tree on Sweers Island, Gulf of Carpentaria
    REVISITING INSCRIPTIONS ON THE INVESTIGATOR TREE ON SWEERS ISLAND, GULF OF CARPENTARIA COLLINS, S. J.1, MATE, G.2,1 & ULM, S.1,3 The Investigator Tree, so named after Matthew Flinders’ ship HMS Investigator, is an inscribed tree currently on display in the Queensland Museum. Before being accessioned into the Queensland Museum’s collection in 1889, the Investigator Tree grew on the western shore of Sweers Island in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. The tree’s “Investigator” inscription, attributed to Flinders (1802), provided the catalyst for future and varied forms of European inscription making on Sweers Island, including a contentious additional “Investigator” inscription on the Investigator Tree carved by Thomas Baines in 1856. Previous researchers have speculated that Baines’ second “Investigator” inscription has caused the faded original “Investigator” inscription to be misinterpreted as either a Chinese or Dutch inscription predating Flinders’ visit to Sweers Island. For the first time, this study undertakes a physical examination of all markings on the Investigator Tree, including a second portion of the tree located at the Queensland Museum since 2009. In com­ bination with a review of the archival and historical record, findings provide alternative interpretations regarding the (28) inscriptions to address outstanding questions. Archival documents demonstrate that there were at least three inscribed trees on Sweers Island. This paper also revisits the possibility of there once being pre­Flinders inscriptions on the Investigator

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Adhesion Performance in the Eggs of the Philippine Leaf Insect Phyllium Philippinicum (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae)
    insects Article Adhesion Performance in the Eggs of the Philippine Leaf Insect Phyllium philippinicum (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae) Thies H. Büscher * , Elise Quigley and Stanislav N. Gorb Department of Functional Morphology and Biomechanics, Institute of Zoology, Kiel University, Am Botanischen Garten 9, 24118 Kiel, Germany; [email protected] (E.Q.); [email protected] (S.N.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 June 2020; Accepted: 25 June 2020; Published: 28 June 2020 Abstract: Leaf insects (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae) exhibit perfect crypsis imitating leaves. Although the special appearance of the eggs of the species Phyllium philippinicum, which imitate plant seeds, has received attention in different taxonomic studies, the attachment capability of the eggs remains rather anecdotical. Weherein elucidate the specialized attachment mechanism of the eggs of this species and provide the first experimental approach to systematically characterize the functional properties of their adhesion by using different microscopy techniques and attachment force measurements on substrates with differing degrees of roughness and surface chemistry, as well as repetitive attachment/detachment cycles while under the influence of water contact. We found that a combination of folded exochorionic structures (pinnae) and a film of adhesive secretion contribute to attachment, which both respond to water. Adhesion is initiated by the glue, which becomes fluid through hydration, enabling adaption to the surface profile. Hierarchically structured pinnae support the spreading of the glue and reinforcement of the film. This combination aids the egg’s surface in adapting to the surface roughness, yet the attachment strength is additionally influenced by the egg’s surface chemistry, favoring hydrophilic substrates.
