Six species of Batrachospermum from Australia and New Zealand have a twisted to coiled carpogonial branch and determinate gonimoblast filaments, and are therefore referable to section Contorta or Hybrida. Batrachospermum australicum KÜtz. ex sp. nov. from large rivers in tropical Northern Territory has a tightly 3-coiled carpogonial branch; B. vittatum sp. nov. from tropical Northern Territory has a characteristic longitudinal mid-whorl band of spermatangia; and B. deminutum sp. nov. from a single locality in eastern-central New South Wales has reduced whorls and long carpogonial branches. The other three species are cosmopolitan in distribution: B. virgatodecaisneanum Sirodot is widespread but uncommon in temperate regions of both countries; B. ambiguum Montagne is widespread and common in tropical Australia; and B. globosporum Israelson is restricted in Australia to near Brisbane in subtropical southern Queensland.

Examination of new earthworm material from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, revealed the presence of five new species (one with two subspecies) of the Pheretima group of genera, family Megascolecidae. A new genus, Begemius, is erected to contain the new taxa (B. gavini, jamiesoni jamiesoni, j. hornensis, lockerbiensis, raveni and yorkensis), also the species cyclops, monoperus and queenslandicus which were previously accommodated in the genus Amynthas. A key is provided to the eight species in the genus and the Australian members are described. Other new pheretimoid material from Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales consists of allochthonous species only, representing new locality records and including four species, Amynthas gracilis, A. morrisi, Metaphire bahli and Pithemera bicincta, new to the Australian list. These species and the other eight allochthonous species of the Pheretima group reported from Australia, Amynthas corticis, A. minimus, A. rodericensis, Metaphire californica, M. houletti, Pheretima darnleiensis, Polypheretima elongata and P. taprobanae are reviewed, each is diagnosed and a key is provided for their identification.

Domestic Design

In the first decades of the nineteenth century there was an insatiable enthusiasm for the fashions of previous eras. New research has established that designs for domestic furnishings in America, Australia and New Zealand were concurrent with the latest London and Paris fashions. It may be hard to imagine, with the priorities of convict and missionary life in the Australasian colonies, that influence of some of the greatest English designers was of any importance.Furniture designs by George Hepplewhite (1788), Thomas Sheraton (1794) and Thomas Hope (1807) can be found in New South Wales, while George Smith (1826), Thomas King (1829-35) and John Loudon (1833) can be identified in New Zealand. Elements of current British style trends from thereon can be seen in colonial-made furniture as mainstream fashion. By the 1840s the rare surviving examples made of native timbers are typical of those that could be found in any English home. Evidence does survive and, with interpretation, reveals a consistent influx of modern styles into the new colonies.

Carpogonial Branch

Two species attributable to Callophyllis, a genus only recently recorded from eastern mainland Australia, are described from subtidal habitats in New South Wales. One of the species closely conforms to the New Zealand endemic Callophyllis ilepressa (J. Agardh) Laing, formerly the type species of the genus Ectophora J. Agardh. Although full reproductive details of this species are lacking, evidence in this survey strongly suggests that the genus was and is correctly placed in synonymy with Callophyllis. Thalli of C. depressa consist of prostrale, spreading, imbricate blades firmly anchored to rocky substrata by numerous haptera arising from the under surfaces. Upper frond surfaces are iridescent in localised patches corresponding to nests of refractive subcortical cells. The outer cortex in cross section comprises three to six layers and is composed of anticlinal filaments lacking secondary pit connections. The medulla consists of large, subisodiametric cells interspersed with narrow filaments. Plants appear to be procarpic, the supporting cells bearing a single three-celled carpogonial branch and several elaborately lobed, elongated, sterile cells. The second species is named Callophyllis nana sp. nov. for its diminutive (1.5 to 3 cm in length) fronds. Blades overlap, anastornose, and attach to rocky or bryozoan substrata by a single basal holdfast. The cortex is single-layered, the medulla being one to several layers of large subisodiametric cells interspersed with narrow filaments. Plants appear to be procarpic, the supporting cells bearing a single three-celled carpogonial branch and several relatively unlobed, short, bulbous sterile cells. Because of the inclusion of Ectophora into Callophyllis, the new name Callophyllis laingiaiia is proposed to replace Callophyllis dichotoma (J. Agardh) Laing [non C. dichotoma (Hooker et Harvey in Hooker) Kützing].

AbstractThe lichen genus Lecanactis Körb. in Tasmania comprises six species: L. abietina (Ach.) Körb., which is widespread and pan-temperate; L. latispora Egea & Torrente and L. neozelandica Egea & Torrente, both shared with New Zealand and with the former recorded here from the Auckland Islands for the first time; L. mollis (Stirt.) Frisch & Ertz, shared with Victoria and New Zealand; L. aff. dilleniana (Ach.) Körb., a European species recorded provisionally for Tasmania on the basis of several sterile collections; L. scopulicola Kantvilas, which is described here as new to science and apparently a Tasmanian endemic. This new taxon occurs in rocky underhangs and is characterized by a thick, leprose thallus containing schizopeltic acid, and 3-septate ascospores, 19–30 × 4.5–6 μm. Short descriptions and a discussion of distribution and ecology are given for all species. A key for all 11 Australian species of the genus is provided, including L. subfarinosa (C. Knight) Hellb. and L. tibelliana Egea & Torrente, which are recorded for Australia for the first time, and L. platygraphoides (Müll.Arg.) Zahlbr., a first record for New South Wales. Lecanactis spermatospora Egea & Torrente and L. sulphurea Egea & Torrente are also included.

Two New Species

The genus Agrotera Schrank, 1802 is revised for Australia and the generic definition is refined based on the male genitalia. The genera Leucinodella Strand, 1918 stat. rev. with L. leucostola (Hampson, 1896) comb. nov., Nistra Walker, 1859 stat. rev. with N. coelatalis Walker, 1859 comb. rev., Sagariphora Meyrick, 1894 stat. rev. with S. magnificalis (Hampson, 1893) comb. nov., and Tetracona Meyrick, 1884 stat. rev. with T. amathealis (Walker, 1859) comb. rev. and T. pictalis Warren, 1896 comb. rev. are removed from synonymy with Agrotera, as they lack the synapomorphies of Agrotera. Two new species, Agrotera genuflexa sp. nov. from Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, and A. longitabulata sp. nov. from Queensland, are described. The taxonomic status of the Australian species of Agrotera is discussed, and a key to all species, based on males, is provided. The adults and genitalia of the new species and some related species are figured.
