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.

Densities of eggs, feeding and mature larvae of the jarrah leaf miner were estimated from samples of leaves, of larval cells from catches in cone traps placed under trees, of diapausing larvae from soil samples, and of moths from catches in emergence traps. Within the samples, homogeneity of variance and improved normality of numbers were achieved by transforming the original counts to In (x + 1).

A distinct group of skippers, mainly from northern Australia, including Hesperilla malindeva Lower, H. sexguttata Herrich‐Schäffer and H. furva Sands and Kerr, is revised. The morphology of the adults and immature stages, and the larval biology, show that Telesto crypsigramma Meyrick and Lower, formerly referred to Toxidia Mabille, also belongs to this group. H. sarnia sp. n. is described and assigned to this group on the basis of wing venation and genitalic characters. Illustrated descriptions and a key to the species are given.

The mite parasites of the genus Ophiomegistus are restricted to snakes and lizards in Malaysia, the Philippines, New Guinea and Australia. A key to the six known species is provided. The male of O. brachymeleus Voss is described for the first time. O. keithi sp. n. is figured and described from an unidentified lizard in Papua New Guinea. The range of O. mabuyae Voss is extended from the Philippines to Malaya and intraspecific variation in the male is figured. Fresh material of O. australicus (Womersley) comb. n. from a new Queensland host, Pseudechis australis (Gray) (Elapidae), is figured. Considerable intraspecific variation is figured for a species now newly recorded from various New Guinean snakes in addition to the original Philippine record; this is O. luzonensis Banks =O. buloloensis (Gunther) syn. n.

Captures of males of species responding to methyl eugenol and cuelure were significantly reduced when both attractants were combined in a single trap as compared with the captures obtained in traps containing either of the attractants alone. When traps containing methyl eugenol and cuelure were placed side by side the number of flies responding to methyl eugenol was reduced, and the number of flies responding to cuelure was increased, as compared with captures in single isolated traps.

Five hundred and eighty‐five blood engorged Culicoides and seven Lasiohelea comprising nine taxa were collected mainly by truck‐trapping around sunrise and sunset in tropical savannah woodland at Kowanyama and Rutland Plains, north Queensland. Blood meal analysis by a capillary ring test showed cattle and marsupials to be the most common hosts attacked. Culicoides marksi fed on cattle, marsupials and dogs (313/79/5); C. actoni on the same hosts (35/2/1); C. smeei on birds and marsupial (44/1); C. austropalpalis on birds, cattle and marsupial (13/1/1); C. brevitarsis, Lasiohelea sp. and Culicoides sp. nr nattaiensis on cattle (9, 3, and 1); C. dycei on a marsupial (1) and Culicoides sp. nr marmoratus on marsupials and a bird (2/1).
