The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

    Castlemaine Naturalist April 2012 Vol. 37.3 #397 Monthly newsletter of the Castlemaine Field Naturalists Club Inc. Plume moth Stangeia xerodes Maldon Photo – Noel Young Carpets in the Mt Alexander Shire. By Chris Timewell Using information from the third volume of the Moths of Victoria, moth species from the subfamily Sterrhinae (commonly known as Waves) that potentially occur in the Mount Alexander shire were addressed in a Castlemaine Naturalist article in late 2011. This present article addresses the moths from the subfamily Larentiinae potentially occurring in the Mount Alexander Shire, also based on information from the third volume of the Moths of Victoria. The Larentiinae are also known as Carpets, due to the patterns on their wings. They are small to medium sized moths. They often have transverse markings on their wings, and are usually inconspicuous when they hold their wings flat against the surface on which they are resting. There are approximately 140 species known to occur within Victoria. Using the distribution maps and other accompanying information provided on the CD that comes with volume 3 of the Moths of Victoria, the two tables below list the Carpet moths that are either known to occur or potentially occur in the Mt Alexander Shire. Victorian species that are unlikely to occur here are not listed. In summary, from the ~140 Carpet moth species from 24 different genus that are known to occur in Victoria, at least 17 species from seven genus have been confirmed as occurring in the Mt Alexander Shire (Table 1). Another 45 species from 15 of the 24 genus are predicted to potentially occur in the shire (Table 2), with the remaining ~80 species unlikely to occur here ever.
