In 2017 a survey was conducted of the Drosophilidae on the remote Cook Islands: Rarotonga, Aitutaki and Mangaia in the Tropical South Pacific. A diverse range of collecting methods was implemented, at different elevations and in domestic, rural, and montane-forest habitats. Only two widespread species Drosophila ananassae and D. simulans have previously been reported from Cook Islands. Among the 8036 specimens collected, 12 species were found, one of which—Drosophila rarotongae sp. nov.—is described here as new; it is endemic to Rarotonga and found only in montane forest. Drosophila suzukii was absent. An unusual species close to Drosophila funebris was collected (one female); various measures revealed its morphological difference from Afrotropical and Palaearctic D. funebris specimens. Possible synonymies between Scaptodrosophila bryani and S. anuda, and between S. concolor and S. marjoryae were discovered and are discussed. Drosophila pallidifrons was found among D. sulfurigaster in very low frequency (1%).

. The unprovenanced and stylistically unusual wooden boat model (AM E60381) from the Australian Museum collection is examined to assess its identity and age. The analyses of construction method, wood, pigments, and gesso demonstrate the boat’s compatibility with ancient Egyptian craftwork. Three species of wood are identified: cedar of Lebanon ( Cedrus libani ), sycomore fig ( Ficus sycomorus ), and sidr ( Ziziphus spina-christi ). Funerary boat models are distinctly associated with the 11th and 12th dynasties (mid-20th to 19th century BC). Yet eight radiocarbon dates obtained from six separate pieces of wood are between 24th and 16th century BC; six cluster at the late 3rd millennium BC. Conspicuous disparity between these dates and expected chronological context is discussed. Stylistically, resembling a divine (sun) barque, the model has no parallels among comparable representations. With combination of iconographic motifs, construction methods and radiocarbon dates, the model is attributed to the period spanning the late Old Kingdom and the early Middle Kingdom.

A distributional isolate in southwestern Western Australia previously assigned to Gould’s Long-eared Bat Nyctophilus gouldi Tomes, 1858 is demonstrated to be a distinct and previously unnamed cryptic species, based on a lack of monophyly with eastern populations and substantial DNA sequence divergence (5.0 %) at the mitochondrial gene COI. Morphologically both species are alike and overlap in all measured characters but differ in braincase shape. The new species has one of the most restricted geographic ranges of any Australian Vespertilionidae and aspects of its ecology make it vulnerable to human impacts. Records of the Australian Museum a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Australian Museum, Sydney communicating knowledge derived from our collections ISSN 0067-1975 (print), 2201-4349 (online)
