Thirty sugarcane fields located on different soil types in southern Queensland were sampled for the melolonthine canegrubs Antitrogus parvulus Britton, Lepidiota crinita Brenske and L. negatoria Blackburn. Soil parameters (sand, silt, clay, pH) were also measured for each field. Correlations between the relative abundance of the canegrub species and soil parameters were determined. Distinct soil preferences were shown among 2 of the 3 canegrub species. A. parvulus abundance was positively correlated with clay and silt content and negatively correlated with sand content. L. negatoria abundance was positively correlated with sand content and negatively correlated with clay and silt content. L. crinita abundance showed no significant correlations with sand, silt, or clay content. The abundance of none of the 3 species showed any significant correlation with soil pH.

A flotation method using stubble pieces of sugarcane was more efficient in sampling underground sugarcane mealybugs, Saccharicoccus sacchari than were flotation using stools or cores or the dry probe method using stools, cores or single‐stalk stubble pieces. Above‐ground populations were distributed randomly within a stool. Total number of mealybugs per sample could be estimated from the number of adults per sample.

Green and brown morphs of the grasshopper Acrida conica (F.) occur sympatrically at several sites in metropolitan Perth, Western Australia. Collections of nymphs from 5 sites and adults from 6 sites showed that the morph frequencies were strongly sex‐related in the nymphs, where there were significantly more green females than green males. With adults the proportion of green males increased to near levels found in females.

Leioproctus (Protomorpha) Rayment is revised. Two new species, L. (P.) alloeopus and L. (P.) plautus, are described and illustrated together with the type species, L. (P.) tarsalis (Rayment). Two species previously in L. (Microcolletes) Michener, L. minutus (Cockerell) and L. fallax (Cockerell), are placed in Protomorpha. Microcolletes is synonymised with Protomorpha. A key enables identification of all species.

Two new genera, Undiareduvius (type species U. aquilonius sp.n.) and Gorareduvius (type species G. westraliensis sp.n.) are described and illustrated from northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory and are placed in the subfamily Harpactorinae. U. aquilonius has been observed to gather sticky exudate from the leaves of the grass Triodia (which it frequents) on its centrally swollen fore tibia, presumably to assist prey capture. The relationships of the new genera with other Australian harpactorines are noted.

A scheme of homology is proposed under which the so‐called “labrum” of Chaoborus larvae becomes an apical lobe of the labrum proper and homologous with the midpalatal lobe of Culicidae. Some phylogenetic implications are noted.

P. Spradbery, The SCREW-WORM
The diel pattern of oviposition of field and laboratory populations of the Old World screw‐worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve, was studied. Most oviposition occurred within the two to three hours preceding dusk. Egg masses exposed to solar radiation suffered significant mortality after two hours, demonstrating a selective advantage in the timing of oviposition.

A survey is reported of resistance to DDT, dieldrin, fenitrothion and malathion in last instar larvae from cultures of Pladia interpunctella (Hübner), Ephestia cautella (Walker) and E. kuehniella Zeller, established from samples collected in New South Wales, 1974‐1977. Resistance to DDT and dieldrin was detected in most samples. Resistance to malathion was widely distributed in P. interpunctella and E. cautella. Fenitrothion resistance in these species was not as widespread as the former resistance. Malathion resistance was diagnosed in E. kuehniella but further sampling is required to show its distribution. Fenitrothion resistance was not diagnosed in larvae of this species.

Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), Chrysomya saffranea (Bigot) and Chrysomya varipes (Macquart) have been shown to be capable of acting as primary flies, i.e. initiating infestation, in carrion in southern Queensland. This appears to be common during the warmer months of the year and must be taken into consideration, in forensic entomology, when estimating the period elapsed since death.
