CONFIRMATION OF THE PRESENCE OF TRIATOMINAE (HEMIPTERA: REDUVIIDAE) IN AUSTRALIA, WITH NOTES ON INDO‐PACIFIC SPECIES

An annotated list is given of the Triatominae described from the Indo‐Pacific region. Triatoma novaeguineae Miller, previously known only from New Guinea, is recorded from north Queensland, this being the first authentic record of Triatominae from Australia. Earlier Australian records of Triatoma migrans Breddin and T. amicitiae Lent are excluded and it is shown that the latter is actually from Ceylon. Copyrigh

A REMARKABLE CASE OF ALARY DIMORPHISM IN THE ARADIDAE (HEMIPTERA) WITH A GENERIC SYNONYMY AND A NEW SPECIES

The genus Zeugocoris Usinger & Matsuda is sunk as a junior synonym of Caecicoris Kormilev since the respective type species, Z. microcerus (Walker) and C. oviventris Kormilev, are found to be dimorphic forms of the one species. The morphological changes associated with wing reduction in the micropterous morph are described and the taxonomic and biological implications of this dimorphism are discussed. Additional distributional and biological data for C. microcerus are presented and C. latus sp. n. is described from New Britain. Copyrigh

Five new species of Aptenocanthon Matthews (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) from tropical Australia, with notes on distribution

Five new species of the flightless scarabaeine genus Aptenocanthon Matthews are described from northern Australia: jimara sp. nov. from the Northern Territory; kabura sp. nov., wollumbin sp. nov., winyur sp. nov. and speewah sp. nov. from mountains in the wet tropics of northern Queensland. A key is given to the eight species in the genus. A. jimara is the first record of the genus away from the east coast. Biology and distribution are discussed
