The foraging activity of the meat ant Iridomyrmex purpureus form viridiaeneus is closely correlated with temperature in an arid environment. The ants feed on a wide range of plant and animal material, travelling up to 100 m to gather food.

Young Eucalypts, H. Elliott, R. Bashford
The autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata (Guen.), is a pest of eucalypts in southern Australia, often completely defoliating young trees, particularly those in the blue gum group. Its life cycle in southern Tasmania is described and notes on its host range and natural enemies are given. The pest status of M. privata is discussed in relation to future increases in the planting of susceptible species of eucalypts.

An account is given on aspects of the egg stage of the spur‐legged phasmatid Didymuria violescens inhabiting mountain ash forest. At 21‐23°C and 45% RH, fertilized egg embryos matured more rapidly than those unfertilized, but most eggs failed to hatch, suggesting that diapause in fully grown embryos (pharate nymphs) is not generally terminated near room temperature. Freshly laid eggs remained healthy under constant high temperatures and associated drying effects for 2 weeks, but desiccated during 4 weeks of exposure.

Heliococcus summervillei sp. n. is a mealybug that has caused considerable damage to pastures of Paspalum in Queensland and has been collected on sugar‐cane in Pakistan. This is the first record of the genus Heliococcus from Australia and Pakistan. Dactylopius glacialis Newstead, a related species infesting grass in Italy, is redescribed and transferred to Heliococcus.

Ovarian development is observed throughout the year in Austracris proxima in the field whereas in A. guttulosa it is restricted to mid‐summer and for the remainder of the year females of this species remain immature. In the laboratory variations in day length did not affect the ovarian development of A. proxima but long day treatments were necessary to induce the ovaries of A. guttulosa to develop. The former species is largely confined to temperate, coastal areas where, as a result of the evenly distributed relatively abundant rainfall, conditions are favourable for breeding throughout the year when two generations may occur. The latter species is commonest in the tropical inland where breeding is restricted to the short rainy season and only one generation occurs annually.
