An eighth species of Drepanoxenus Kistner and Watson, D. box sp. n., is described from larvae collected with an undescribed subleminean species of Drepanotermes Silvestri (Isoptera: Termitinae) in the northwest of Western Australia, and larval Drepanoxenus are keyed. It is the first record of a Drepanoxenus from nests of a subterranean species of Drepanotermes.

Larvae of Abantiades latipennis Tindale fed on callus tissue formed within lesions on the roots of two to eight year old saplings of Eucalyptus regnans F. von Mueller and E. obliqua L'Heritier in southern Tasmania. Larval feeding lesions occurred on all parts of the root system, although the majority were located on lateral roots. Roots of the larger more vigorous trees had the greatest number. Lesions could serve as infection courts for root‐rot fungi such as Armillaria sp. In the field, larvae constructed and occupied a near vertical but simple tunnel system which was associated with the host roots. The subterranean phase of the life cycle probably takes at least 18 months. The tachinid Rutilotrixa diversa Paramonov was identified as a larval parasite. Damage by A. latipennis and secondary root‐rot organisms may limit the development of some trees in fast growing even‐aged sapling stands. Large scale forest harvesting could favour an increased population of this species.
在塔斯马尼亚南部,Abantiades latipennis Tindale的幼虫以2至8岁的桉树(Eucalyptus regnans F. von Mueller和E. obliqua L'Heritier)树苗根部病变内形成的愈伤组织为食。幼虫取食损害发生在根系的所有部位,但大多数发生在侧根。更大更健壮的树木的根有最多的数量。病害可以作为根腐真菌(如蜜环菌)的侵染场所。在田间,幼虫构建并占据一个与寄主根系相关的近乎垂直但简单的隧道系统。生命周期的地下阶段可能至少需要18个月。经鉴定,Rutilotrixa diversa Paramonov是一种寄生虫幼虫。在快速生长的甚至年龄较大的幼树林中,美洲松和次生根腐病的危害可能会限制某些树木的发育。大规模的森林采伐有利于增加该物种的数量。

Crosses were made between six forms of Coelophora inaequalis (F.) from the Brisbane area: nine‐spotted, elongated stripe, normal, black, five‐spotted and broken stripe. It was established that the inheritance of colour patterns in C. inaequalis is governed by mosaic dominance. These six forms are governed by four alleles with a dominance order of nine‐spotted normal black, elongated stripe black, while the elongated stripe and nine‐spotted alleles and the elongated stripe and normal alleles are co‐dominant and produce the five‐spotted and broken stripe forms respectively.

The reproductive status of five species of Chrysomya caught in liver‐baited traps in Papua New Guinea was determined. The species trapped were the Old World screw‐worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve and the blowflies, C. megacephala (F.), C. saffranea (Bigot), C. rufifacies (Macquart) and C. varipes (Macquart). The results were compared with data obtained by other workers for the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) and the American screw‐worm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel).

Studies of the lesser house fly, Fannia canicularis, in Brisbane, Queensland showed that males swarmed at closed in sites, such as under and inside houses. Flies preferred the centre of an area, though variations in light intensity and the presence of objects in the swarming area modified this behaviour. When temperatures remained above 15°C, swarming occurred from about sunrise to sunset, though on days with a maximum above 25 °C, few swarmed near midday. Males flew for long periods in semi‐rectangular circuits, though at high fly populations such circuits were often not completed as flies constantly chased each other. Resting males also chased flies or objects that moved rapidly within two metres of them; slow moving objects were ignored. Although F. canicularis forms swarms like smaller Diptera, this chasing of other males is characteristic of the waiting station and territorial defense of larger species. On coming to land, males preferentially faced and alighted head upwards; most then turned to rest head downwards, thus accounting for the head downwards posture of resting males noted here and elsewhere.

The spermathecae of 25 species in 14 genera of Lethaeini are described and figured. A preliminary assessment is made of the value of the structure of the spermatheca as a taxonomic character, particularly at the generic level and as indicating relationships between genera. A convoluted mass of tubules, apparently a coiled gland, occurs near the entry of the spermathecal duct to the common oviduct in the two species of Lethaeus Dallas and the one species of Austroxestus Woodward studied. A dorsal sac opening into the genital chamber of the female is recorded in the species studied of Lethaeus, Neolethaeus Distant, Aristaenetus Distant, Myocara Bergroth, Exomyocara Slater and Woodward, Paramyocara Woodward and Malipatil, and an undescribed genus.
