Geoff Williams1 and Paul Adam2 1Lorien Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area, Lansdowne via Taree, NSW 2430. Honorary Research Associate, Australian Museum, College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 AUSTRALIA. 2School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW 2052 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: Insects visiting flowering trees of Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii and Tristaniopsis laurina (Myrtaceae) were recorded in lowland subtropical rainforest communities in the Manning Valley, mid-north coast of New South Wales. These species are visited by a taxonomically broad assemblage of insects, many of which are known to frequent other rainforest- and open forest- flowering plant species. Consequently there is likely to be a regional pool of potential pollinators found throughout the range of each plant. Key Words: Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii, Tristaniopsis laurina, Myrtaceae, endangered ecological communities, subtropical rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest, pollination, anthophilous insects, Myrtle rust, Austropuccinia psidii, extinction events.
