Hydromys Chrysogaster

Echinoparyphium hydromyos sp.nov. with forty-five collar spines is described from the Australian water rat, Hydromys chrysogaster Geoffr.The cercaria occurs naturally in Plananisus isingi (Cotton & Godfrey), and all stages in the life-history have been demonstrated experimentally.Encystation occurs in the kidneys of tadpoles.The adult is most closely related to Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Linstow). It differs from this in its greater number of eggs and in its life-history. E. recurvatum occurs predominantly in birds, and is rarely found naturally in mammals. E. hydromyos has been found only in a mammal.Cercaria echinoparyphii hydromyos is compared with C. clelandae Johnston and Angel; it differs from the latter in the ‘compound’ nature of the excretory granules. The adult of C. clelandae has not been demonstrated in spite of a number of experiments to determine it.Type material has been deposited in the South Australian Museum.I wish to acknowledge the help given by my colleague, Patricia M. Thomas, in field work and in other ways, and by Mr Ian Smith, of this department, in the experimental work on life-history studies.

A comprehensive revision of the genus Charletonia Oudemans, 1910 (Acarina: Erythraeidae) is made from (1) representative specimens of the Oudemans collection, Leiden Museum, of European, Asian, African, and Australasian species; (2) the South Australian Museum collection containing Australian material, as well as European material collected by Womersley; (3) the author's collection containing Australasian, Asian, and European material; and (4) the collection of larval erythraeid mites ectoparasitic upon Australian grasshoppers (and, to a small extent, phasmatids) of the Australian National Insect Collection, Division of Entomology, CSIRO. The genus is left with 32 species, comprising 5 European (1 new), 7 African (1 new), 5 Asian (1 new), and 16 Australasian (10 new). One species, C. volzi (Oudemans), is recorded from both Asia and Australasia. No North or South American material was seen. It has been possible to key all of these species, the only exception being that of C. ojirnai (Kishida) from Japan. Some reference is made to the life history of C. kvendowskyi (Feider) from Europe, and the egg stage described from preserved material. The fragmentary holotype larva of Callidosoma dasypodiae (Womersley) is redescribed, and brief reference is made to the rediscovery of this species, which has allowed its correct generic placing, previously impossible from loss of diagnostic parts of the original material.

Break Up

The bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea possesses a unique natural heritage stretching back over 50 million years since the break-up of the great southern continent of Gondwanaland. The South Australian Museum focuses on enhancing a general knowledge of this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region’s nature and wilderness, and promoting an annual competition to find the Nature Photographer of the Year. Australasian Nature Photography: ANZANG Eighth Collection presents the finest photographs submitted to the competition. Each photograph is accompanied by technical information as well as anecdotes about how the picture was taken, which will stimulate yet further interest in the flora and fauna and their conservation in the region.

Australian Birds

Cestodes (Platyhelminthes) from Australian birds from the South Australian Museum collections were studied with a focus on common endemic terrestrial hosts. Despite the variable state of preservation of the examined worms, we could identify several new taxa, including Sobolevitaenia whittingtoni sp. nov. and Spiniglans beveridgei sp. nov. (Dilepididae) in Corvus mellori Mathews, 1912 (Corvidae); Notopentorchis musealis sp. nov. (Paruterinidae) in Hirundapus caudacutus (Latham, 1801) (Apodidae); Monopylidium australiense sp. nov. (Dilepididae) in Menura novaehollandiae Latham, 1801 (Menuridae); Dictymetra gerganae sp. nov. (Dilepididae) in Podargus strigoides (Latham, 1802) (Podargidae); Dictymetra longiuncinata sp. nov. in Esacus magnirostris (Vieillot, 1818) (Burhinidae) and Cracticotaenia adelaidae sp. nov. (Metadilepididae) in Gymnorhina tibicen (Latham, 1801) (Artamidae) and Corcorax melanorhamphos (Vieillot, 1817) (Corcoracidae). Several other presumably new taxa that cannot be fully described are also reported. This diversity found in common hosts suggests the presence of a rich, and presently almost completely unknown, fauna of cestode parasites in Australian birds. As field collection permits allowing to explore this fauna are extremely difficult to obtain, this is a demonstration of the usefulness of museum collections to describe at least part of it.

The Way

The Boxhole meteorite crater has been described previously. It is in Central Australia at latitude 22° 37′ 30´″ S., longitude 135° 11′ 59″ E. During the single afternoon that was spent examining this great crater, nearly 200 yards across, most of the time was occupied with taking measurements and photographs, and only a few shale-balls were found in the way of meteoritic material. Mr. Joe Webb, who lives nearby, was instructed to continue the search, and in due course he sent down to Adelaide three pieces of iron weighing respectively 17 lb. 9 oz., 1 lb. 8 oz., and 5 oz., shown in figs. 1 and 3, together with six more shale-balls. This material was purchased by the South Australian Museum. Two other small pieces of iron have been obtained by the author from other sources.

Apreliminary account of this fine mass, weighing 2520 lb., of meteoric iron was given in 1910 by L. Laybourne Smith, who at that time was Registrar of the South Australian School of Mines and Industries in Adelaide; but the promised detailed description with chemical analysis never appeared. Except for a small piece cut off one corner (upper left-hand corner in fig. 1) the mass is preserved intact in the Museum of that Institution, and none of the material appears to have been distributed to other museums. Casts of the mass were, however, made for the South Australian Museum in Adelaide, and one of them was presented to the British Museum in 1917 (B.M. 1917,360), where in the meteorite collection it is a very striking object (fig. 1).Recently, at the suggestion of Mr. R. Bedford of the Kyancutta Museum, the Council of the South Australian School of Mines has generously presented to the British Museum a piece of this meteoric iron, together with the milling cuttings, with the request that the description of it should be completed.

The current condition of the types of Bathypogon, described by Frank M. Hull 1956–1959, are listed. By his own admission, a portion of the material borrowed from the South Australian Museum was destroyed by “pests”. Note is made that the holotype of Bathypogon microdonturus is missing and presumed destroyed. Additions are made to the published data based on data on the Type specimen labels. Photos of the hypandrium of some Bathypogon holotypes that reside in the SA Museum collection are provided.

Cylicospirura heydoni (Baylis) is redescribed, from what is assumed to be paratype material (Queensland) and from Dasyurus quoll (Tasmania) and Dasyurops maculatus (N.S. Wales). Cyathospirura dasyuridis, sp.nov., is described from the same host spp., from N.S.W. and Tasmania.Some specimens and some intact nodules were sent by Mr Green of Queen's Museum, Launceston, Tasmania. Skinned animals were given to me for dissection by Mr Peter Aitken, Curator of Mammals, at the South Australian Museum. To both of these collectors I am most grateful.Types of the new species will be deposited in the South Australian Museum.

This paper is intended as the first of a series in which it is proposed to record the results of an examination of a large collection of termites from various parts of the Australian continent. The greater part of this collection has been gathered in the northern districts of the Northern Territory, and in North Queensland, but during the past year it has been considerably increased by the addition of numerous small collections received from correspondents in Victoria, Western Australia and South Queensland, and now contains individuals from over 800 colonies. Through the courtesy of the authorities of the South Australian Museum I have been able to examine a number of co-type specimens which have been of the greatest assistance in clearing up many doubtful identifications. In addition to these, I have been able to study many species from localities not represented in my own collection.
