ABSTRACT The Tate Museum (The University of Adelaide) holds a large collection of (tektites) australites including the Pens Collection from the Florieton area in east-central South Australia. Many of these specimens are intact or near-so and have the various forms ascribed to their behaviour as they entered the Earth’s atmosphere. However, a significant number, some of which may have been initially fractured and broken by erosional processes on the Earth’s surface, were later reworked by Aboriginal Australians to form small tools and hence are important artefacts. Of the Florieton specimens, 6.5% have been reworked into microlithic flakes. This note points to the historical value of the Pens Collection, discusses the nature of the environment in which they were found, and speculates about the collecting and adaptation of australites by Aboriginal Australians.

ABSTRACT Fossil collections housed in museums are a rich source of data for palaeontologists; however, some early collections lack detailed contextual information. The Naracoorte Caves in South Australia contain World Heritage listed Quaternary vertebrate fossil accumulations, particularly those of large, extinct mammals. The first recorded collection of extinct Pleistocene large mammal fossils from Naracoorte was from Specimen Cave in 1908. Unfortunately, these fossils were collected without stratigraphic and contextual information and so lack the detail required to relate them and their provenance to new excavations in the cave. As a result, the scientific value of this fossil collection is greatly reduced. Here we report on our research into the history of fossil collecting in Specimen Cave and recover information on the stratigraphic provenance and age of the 1908 fossil collection. We analysed newspaper articles, reports, written correspondence and cave inscriptions. Our research confirmed that the 1908 collection originated from the same area as the modern excavation and revealed a history of exploration and excavation work within the cave. Our research also led to the discovery of a cave inscription that contains the name of William Reddan, an important historical figure of the Naracoorte Caves and the first person to report the Specimen Cave fossil material. These findings place the 1908 fossil collection within the current geochronological context for the site and greatly increase the scientific value of this important material.

ABSTRACT Examination of museum collections of cyclophyllidean cestodes (families Paruterinidae and Davaineidae) from the Australian bustard, Ardeotis australis (Gray) (Aves: Gruiformes), revealed the presence of five species not previously reported from Australia: Ascometra vestita Cholodkovsky, 1912, Idiogenes kolbei Ortlepp, 1938, I. kori Ortlepp, 1938, I. nana Fuhrmann, 1925 and I. otidis Krabbe, 1868. All are known from a variety of genera and species of bustards from Africa and Eurasia. Minor differences were noted in the morphology of I. kori and I. nana from published descriptions, but these differences may be due to intraspecific variation.

ABSTRACT Mogurnda clivicola (Flinders Ranges Mogurnda) inhabits three spring-fed water hole systems of two otherwise dry creek beds in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Between 2017 and 2022, the fish were monitored for breeding and growth and indicators of water quality. Heavy rainfall events in February 2020, November 2021 and January 2022 led to at least two creek floods which stimulated large scale spawning on two occasions during the monitoring period. One and a half months after spawning, young fish had grown to between 1.5 and 2.5 cm in length and then between 7.5 and 9.0 cm in length by 27 months of age. Water flow between pools in the creek during the floods, allowed the fish to move into downstream pools of water that have not previously held fish during the study period. A thorough sampling of fish length frequency to comprehensively sample age ranges in the population is easily achieved by combining two capture methods dip-nets and baited fish traps. A small proportion of fish have skin lesions, but their prevalence does not seem to be increasing.

ABSTRACT Twenty-eight Australian fish species were infected with 18 taxa of Arhythmacanthidae; 11 characterised to species, 4 to genus and 3 to family. Diagnoses are provided for the genera Heterosentis, Hypoechinorhynchus, Paracanthocephaloides and Yamagutirhynchus n. gen. Heterosentis has four Australian species: H. hirsutus Pichelin & Cribb, 1999, H. paraplagusarium (Nickol, 1972), H. plotosi Yamaguti, 1935, H. lisitsynae n. sp., defined by a proboscis armature of 14–16 rows of 8–9 hooks, 4 large, 4–5 spiniform, and three indeterminate species, two from Western Australia, one from Queensland. Hypoechinorhynchus is represented by Hy. robustus Pichelin, 1999 and Hy. alaeopis Yamaguti, 1939. Paracanthocephaloides is represented in Australia by one indeterminate species and three new species: P. bartonae n. sp. has an armature of 14–16 rows of 3 large, 7 spiniform hooks; P. hustoni n. sp. 12 rows of 5–6 hooks, 2 large, 3–4 spiniform; P. shamsiae n. sp. 12 rows of 5–6 hooks, 2 large, 3–4 spiniform. Paracanthocephaloides cabelleroi (Guptar & Fatma, 1983) is returned to the genus Heterosentis. Paracanthocephaloides golvani Chandra, Hanumantha-Rao & Shyamasundari, 1984 is moved to the genus Gorgorhynchoides as G. golvani n. comb. Yamagutirhynchus n. gen. has a cylindrical proboscis with an expanded middle region.

ABSTRACT Dioecy, the separation of sexes into different male and female plants, can enable sexes to independently develop optimal strategies for the sex-linked allocation of reproductive resources. Understanding how dioecious species vary as conditions become more or less favourable may affect conservation and revegetation efforts in arid environments. Our study investigated sex-related resource allocation in the Australian native shrub, Pimelea microcephala subsp. microcephala (Thymelaeaceae) at four sites across an annual rainfall gradient of 250–390 mm in semi-arid South Australia. The study measured 25 male and 25 female individuals for plant height, plant diameter, the number of inflorescences per plant, number of flowers per inflorescence and the ratio of reproductive to vegetative biomass. Significant differences in the ratio of biomass allocated to reproduction between sexes (p < 0.05) were detected at three of the four sites, with sex-related differences increasing with decreased annual rainfall. Female reproductive allocation was two to five times greater, and was less variable than males at all sites except the highest rainfall site (p < 0.05), while male reproductive allocation decreased with average annual rainfall (p < 0.05). Growth outcomes of males and females were equal and female reproductive traits were mostly consistent between sites and were not associated with rainfall, therefore population structure may remain stable for P. microcephala subsp. microcephala as habitats become drier, so long as pollen limitation does not occur.

ABSTRACT The Australian members of the ptilodactylid genus Byrrocryptus Broun are revised based on material from Australian collections. Nine new species are recognized: Byrrocryptus amnigenous sp. nov., B. athertonensis sp. nov., B. bouloumba sp. nov., B. capeensis sp. nov., B. castratus sp. nov., B. lewisae sp. nov., B. monteithi sp. nov., B. murraensis sp. nov. and B. weiri sp. nov. The four species described by Carter are found to be valid species: B. nigrinius (Carter, 1936), B. oblongus (Carter, 1930), B. serraticornis (Carter, 1929) and B. variegatus (Carter, 1935). The species are restricted to forested areas of the east coast from Cape York to the Otway Ranges in Victoria. A key is provided to the species and the male genitalia of all species are illustrated as well as the first four antennomeres of male and females of most species and selected pronota.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the Aboriginal history of the Ma:ko region (Overland Corner). Our exploration of the region includes a consideration of the archaeological record via fieldwork undertaken with traditional owners, an ethnohistorical investigation of the area’s traditional significance as well as a consideration of the effects of European invasion and settlement. Together the records reveal the Ma:ko region to be a highly significant node in the Riverland’s cultural landscape. The Ma:ko region’s cultural significance (inclusive of its ochre and chert/silcrete resources) likely contributed to the area becoming a site of ongoing cross-cultural conflict in the colonial period.

ABSTRACT New species of Hemionchos (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha) are reported from the spiral valve of the manta ray Mobula alfredi (Krefft) from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, representing the first record of this genus from Australian waters. Four undescribed species were identified from the spiral valve contents of a single ray. A relatively complete description is presented for H. australis sp. nov. The remaining three new species are described but as the descriptions are incomplete, they have not been named. This study suggests a much higher degree of diversity within the genus Hemionchos than hitherto suspected and that the examination of additional species of manta and devil rays will yield more new species. The genus is redefined based on the addition of new species and a key to the species is provided.

This study suggests a much higher degree of diversity within the genus Hemionchos than hitherto suspected and that the examination of additional species of manta and devil rays will yield more new species. The genus is redefined based on the addition of new species and a key to the species is provided.","PeriodicalId":49425,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77672365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT The mineral unknown A reported by Bridge from the Petrogale Cave in Western Australia has been shown to be phoxite, a recently described mineral from the Rowley mine in Arizona, USA. This is only the second recorded occurrence of phoxite, and while at the type locality, it occurs with struvite, (NH4)Mg(PO4)·6H2O, at the Petrogale Cave, it occurs with weddellite, Ca(C2O4)·2H2O. Phoxite can be synthesised from struvite or newberyite, MgHPO4·3H2O, by reaction with ammonium oxalate in water or by grinding the solids together. Mixing newberyite or struvite with ammonium oxalate in high humidity enables a clean synthesis of phoxite. A competing reaction is the formation of magnesium oxalate dihydrate (the mineral glushinskite). However, while stable in the solid, washing with water allows phoxite to revert to struvite, as part of a solid liquid equilibrium.
