The originally neotropical pest ant Wasmannia auropunctata has appeared in New Caledonia and is spreading and becoming a nuisance in coffee and citrus plantings, as well as domestic gardens. The ant, although minute in size, has a potent sting that is annoying to agricultural workers in plantations and gardens, and it helps raise scale insect populations to pest densities. The ant is now abundant enough in New Caledonia to pose a threat to neighbouring agricultural countries by accidental introduction through commerce. As a possible control measure in plantations and gardens, baits containing minute amounts of mirex® should be investigated.

Lycoriella agarici sp. n. from mushroom cultivation is described and figured. It is closely related to L. auripila (Winnertz), a pest of mushrooms in the United Kingdom, but can be distinguished therefrom by several morphological features. The taxonomy of L. agarici and the auripila species‐group is discussed.

An examination of adult Phaulacridium vittatum (Orthoptera: Acrididae) from three geographic regions in south‐eastern Australia showed that in all three populations individuals were dimorphic for both wing length and colour pattern. The frequencies of both polymorphisms differed significantly between different populations but no association between the two polymorphisms was detected. Significant size differences were detected between different morph classes.

A species of Euphumosia, abundant in Arnhem Land, was found to be macrolarviparous. The ovaries are reduced to two ovarioles each, and only one ovariole ovulates at a time. The larva is retained in utero at least to the end of the 1st instar. The uterine egg and morphological features of the 1st and 2nd instar larvae are described and illustrated. The breeding medium remains unknown, but possibilities are discussed.

A second species of Kalotermes is described from Western Australia, K. aemulus sp. n., and the endemic K. hilli Emerson is redescribed. Although size of the soldier is highly variable in both species and provides no clear discrimination, ratios indicate distinct diagnostic differences particularly in the shape of the mandible. Soldiers of K. aemulus have a shorter apical tooth than those of K. hilli. K. aemulus has a wider distribution than K. hilli and extends into the hotter, drier areas of the south‐west. The median colony size of K. aemulus is about 430 and the average proportion of soldiers 9.3 per cent.
