Tree Pruning

The apple fruit rotting fungi Phlyctaena vagabunda, Pezicula malicorticis and Botrytis cinerea were isolated from apple tree pruning stubs or cankers. This report constitutes the first record of Pezicula malicorticis in New South Wales. It is suggested that pruning stubs provide the source of infection for fruit rots caused by these fungi.

First Time

Sclerotinia laxa is recorded for the first time in New South Wales, at Orange. A survey indicates that the disease is confined to the Central Tableland. The disease was detected on Chaenomeles spp. (flowering quince), Prunus domestica (European plum), Prunus persica (nectarine) and several ornamental Prunus species (flowering cherries, apricot and peach). Cultural characteristics and acrylamidc-gel clectrophoresis were used to compare several of these isolates with isolates of S. fructicola from New South Wales and with S. laxa from Victoria. Isolates of S. laxa from South Australia and Tasmania were also studied in culture. The general colony lobing and the absence of hyphal anastomoses between germinating conidia can be used to identify S. laxa. Other cultural features found to be of little value for identification are discussed. The electrophoretic patterns for several enzymes clearly distinguished S. laxa from S. fructicola, and these representative reference patterns are useful for species identification.

First Occurrence

Porolepiformes (Sarcopterygii) are poorly represented in the Devonian of Australia and eastern Gondwana as a whole. New cosmine-covered lower jaws from the Mulga Downs Group, western New South Wales (?Pragian–Emsian or Eifelian), represent the first occurrence of Porolepis in Australia, a genus formerly known exclusively from the Northern Hemisphere. This material is assigned to the new species Porolepis foxi. The wide distribution of Porolepis, demonstrated by its occurrence in New South Wales, Europe, and Spitsbergen, contrasts with the generally high endemicity of the faunas in which it is present.

Co-occurrence of two tadpole shrimp, Triops cf. australiensis (Branchiopoda:Notostraca), lineages in middle Paroo, north-western New South Wales, with the first record of Triops hermaphrodites for the Australian continent

The only species of the genus Triops in Australia, T. australiensis, is found to reproduce by gonochorism. Morphological and reproductive data and molecular analyses of fragments of mitochondrial genes 12S rRNA (12S) and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) indicate that a Triops population from the middle Paroo in north-western New South Wales is composed of two different entities, Triops cf. australiensis lineage A, and T. cf. australiensis lineage B. Gonad histology in individuals with ovisacs of lineage A revealed no evidence of testicular tissue; however, large testicular lobes were found in individuals with ovisacs of lineage B, indicating that they were anatomically hermaphrodites. This is the first record of Australian hermaphroditic Triops. For each lineage, a single haplotype of each gene was obtained. Molecular genetic distance and phylogenetic analyses confirmed the closer relationship and monophyly of the two lineages with T. australiensis (GenBank) when compared with Triops species from other continents. COI haplotypes of lineage A and lineage B differed by 7.7% from each other and differed by 10.2% and 9.6% from a published T. australiensis sequence, respectively. The 12S haplotypes of lineage A and lineage B differed by 3.3% from each other and differed by 2% and 2.5% from a published T. australiensis sequence, respectively. Our results suggest that the two co-occurring Triops lineages probably represent two species that are distinct from T. australiensis.

Two New Species

The genus Neuroscelio Dodd is revised and two new species are described: N. lagunai n. sp. (Australia) and N. orientalis n. sp. (Vietnam). An update to the identification key for Neuroscelio species is presented. The male of N. doddi Galloway, Masner & Austin is described, the first record of this sex for the genus. The geographic distribution of Neuroscelio is expanded to include South Australia and New South Wales in Australia, and the Oriental region. The relationships of Neuroscelio are discussed: the genus is removed from the tribe Gryonini. It does not appear to be closely related to any extant genera but is similar in several morphological aspects to the Eocene genus Brachyscelio Brues and the Cretaceous genus Cenomanoscelio Schlüter.

Disease Damage

A 2-year study of downgrading and wastage in apples was part of a pest and disease control project in the Batlow district of New South Wales. Records were kept of specific reasons for rejection.One-third of the annual harvest was downgraded to grade 2, juice, or wastage. The main cause was physical damage (around 20%), especially due to bruising and injuries. Disease damage generally caused rejection of <1% of fruit, while insects generally damaged <5%. Other physical damage such as limb rub, sunburn, hail damage, russetting, and bitter pit accounted for most of the remaining downgrading.

A New Species

The ampithoid genus Sunamphitoe is recorded for the first time from Australia, and a new species, S. graxon, is described. It is reported from Cape Banks, New South Wales, living on intertidal rocky shores among Sargassum sp. Sunamphitoe graxon is the most abundant amphipod species in the Sargassum. The females build nests by gluing together Sargassum thalli.

AbstractA new genus of Monoscutidae (Arachnida: Opiliones), Australiscutum, containing three new species, A. hunti (type species), A. graciliforceps and A. triplodaemon, is described from Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Australiscutum triplodaemon differs from all other Opiliones described to date in possessing noticeably asymmetrical chelicerae, with the right chelicera much larger than the left.
