Regions (SAPPR) formally commenced in July 2011 following an agreement between the WA and Federal Governments. The SAPPR is being undertaken in keeping with the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 2000 (EPBC Act) and members would be well aware of its relevance to various land use and infrastructure proposals undertaken across the Perth and Peel regions and the frequency of the need for proposal level referrals. This has primarily been driven by a number of EPBC Act listed threatened species and threatened communities, referred to under the EPBC Act as “Matters of National Environmental Significance” (MNES). The intent of the SAPPR is to consider at a strategic level (moving away from project by project assessments as been the case) the likely impacts of the strategic planning framework for the Perth and 3 Peel regions (as defined by the collective extent of the Metropolitan Please email ECA and Peel Region Scheme areas).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The monotypic genus Nukuhiva Berland, 1935 with N. adamsoni (Berland, 1933) as type species, is re-described and transferred from the Pisauridae Simon, 1890 (fishing or nursery-web spiders) to the Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833 (wolf spiders) based on genitalic and somatic characters. Nukuhiva adamsoni, originally described from French Polynesia, ap- pears to inhabit mountainous habitats of volcanic origin. Its troglobitic morphology—comparatively small eyes and pale, uniform coloration—suggest it to be associated with subterranean habitats such as caves or lava tubes, similar to the Ha- waiian troglobitic species Lycosa howarthi Gertsch, 1973 and Adelocosa anops Gertsch, 1973. Key words: Lycosinae, subterranean, troglomorphy Introduction Obligatory (troglobitic) and facultative (troglophilic) inhabitants of caves and other subterranean systems are common in spiders world-wide (Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1980; Harvey et al.

Pilbara thysanurans are poorly known and the taxonomy of Nicoletiidae is based on their DNA sequences rather than published species descriptions. Subterranean Atelurinae are well known throughout the Pilbara; however, nearly all of the species recognised to date appear to be range restricted.

Abstract The mega-diverse haplogyne family of goblin spiders (Oonopidae Simon, 1890) has long been among the most poorly known families of spiders. However, since the launch of the goblin spider Planetary Biodiversity Inventory project knowledge about Oonopidae is rapidly expanding. Currently, Oonopidae is placed within the superfamily Dysderoidea and is divided into three subfamilies. Nevertheless, the monophyly and internal phylogeny of this family has not yet been investigated based on DNA sequence data.

  • ADDENDUM BASED on UPDATED HABITAT ASSESSMENT Mining Area C and Southern Flank Troglofauna Environmental Impact Assessment
    Attn: Sarah Williamson From: Stuart Halse BHP Billiton Iron Ore Date 24 February 2017 ADDENDUM BASED ON UPDATED HABITAT ASSESSMENT Mining Area C and Southern Flank Troglofauna Environmental Impact Assessment Introduction This second Addendum should be read in conjunction with Bennelongia’s (2016) report ‘Mining Area C – Southern Flank: troglofauna assessment’, which provides an assessment of the potential impacts on troglofauna associated with the Mining Area C Southern Flank Proposal, and the memorandum from BHP Billiton Iron Ore describing the results of ‘Additional habitat assessment for five potentially restricted troglofaunal species at South Flank’ (BHPBIO 2016a). According to Bennelongia (2016) four species may possibly be restricted to the Southern Flank disturbance area (i.e. ≥40% likelihood of restriction) and one species has an uncertain status (i.e. insufficient information to assign a probability of the species being restricted) and is treated as possibly restricted. The species are the spiders Prethopalpus sp. B15, Prethopalpus julianneae, the isopods Philosciidae sp. B03, nr Andricophiloscia sp. B16 and the dipluran Parajapygidae `DPL024`. The additional habitat assessment conducted by BHPBIO (2016a) using an optical televiewer (OTV) has been used to further examine the likely ranges of the above five troglofaunal species. It builds upon earlier habitat characterisation by BHPBIO (2016b). In particular, this Addendum identifies whether the potential habitats of the five species (and therefore their likely ranges): • are apparently restricted to an area within the proposed pit shells at Southern Flank; • extend outside the proposed pit shells at Southern Flank but are still restricted to the buffer around the pit shells (termed mine pit buffer); or • extend outside the mine pit buffer.

  • Subterranean Fauna
    Yeelirrie Uranium Project Public Environmental Review Section Nine: Environmental Factors 9.2 Subterranean Fauna 9.2.1 EPA Objective The EPA’s objective with regards to subterranean fauna is: • To maintain representation, diversity, viability and ecological function at the species, population and assemblage level. 9.2.2 Relevant Legislation and Policy An overview of the legislation and policies applicable to native fauna, including subterranean fauna are discussed in Section 9.3.2. Guidance specific to subterranean fauna (stygofauna and troglofauna) are provided by the EPA’s Environmental Assessment Guideline No. 12 (EAG12) (EPA 2013) and Guidance Statement 54a (GS54a) (EPA 2007). EAG12 supersedes the earlier Guidance Statement 54 (GS54) (EPA 2003) and provides a policy framework outlining how subterranean fauna should be considered in environmental impact assessment. It is designed to promote a more consistent approach to assessment and subsequent approval outcomes. GS54a (a later technical appendix to GS54) provides guidance on sampling methods and survey considerations for assessing subterranean fauna. Ecological Communities The Western Australia Minister for the Environment may list an ecological community as being threatened if the community is presumed to be, or at risk of becoming, totally destroyed. The DPaW maintains the list of threatened ecological communities (TECs), which currently contains 376 TECs, of which 25 are also listed under the EPBC Act. There are no TECs within the vicinity of the Project. Ecological communities with insufficient information available to be considered as TECs, or which are rare but not currently threatened, are placed on a list managed by DPaW and referred to as priority ecological communities (PECs).
