Close examination of Orthoprotella mayeri K.H. Barnard, 1916 (sensu lato) which has been recorded from South Africa and New South Wales, Australia, revealed that there are two distinct species from Cape Province, South Africa and New South Wales, Australia, respectively. The present paper provides a redescription of O. mayeri K.H. Barnard, 1916 (sensu stricto) from South Africa and a description of O. berentsae sp. nov. from New South Wales, Australia. The two species can be identified based on the morphology of antenna 2, pereonites 6 and 7, and the uropods, although characteristic body somites of both species resemble other species.

Research into the systematics of Prostanthera has recently revealed a close evolutionary relationship among P. phylicifolia s. str., the critically endangered P. gilesii, and a population of uncertain identity from the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. Previous analyses were unable to establish whether genetic boundaries separated these taxa. This study aimed to assess the species boundaries among these three taxa using a combination of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) sampled at the population-scale and multivariate analysis of morphological characters. Non-parametric and parametric statistics, neighbour-network analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and ancestry coefficient estimates all provided support for discrete genetic differences between the three taxa. Morphological phenetic analysis identified a suite of characters that distinguished each of these taxa. This corroboration of evidence supports the presence of three independently evolving lineages. Prostanthera gilesii and P. phylicifolia s. str. are distinct species independent from the third taxon which is described here as P. volucris R.P.O'Donnell. A detailed description, diagnostic line drawings and photographs are provided. We evaluate P. volucris as satisfying criteria to be considered Critically Endangered.

The new combination Salsola strobilifera is proposed for the morphologically remarkable Australian taxon originally described by Bentham as S. kali var. strobilifera (basionym). The latter name is lectotypified on a specimen from K (barcode K000899590) that was collected in New South Wales by Beckler during the Burke and Wills Victoria Exploring Expedition of 1860–1861, and was studied by Bentham for his Flora Australiensis. Earlier taxonomic treatments and other studies of “strobiliferous” native Australian plants (having short ovoid to almost globular strobile-like terminal inflorescences which are easily broken off at maturity) are briefly discussed and summarized. Judging from available morphological and partly molecular evidence, there are at least two “strobiliferous” morphotypes in Australia, one probably more closely related to S. australis sensu stricto and another more similar to S. sabrinae (= S. tragus subsp. grandiflora). It is concluded that Salsola sensu stricto is represented in Australia and adjacent islands by several (four or five, probably more) rather distinct native taxa that should be better recognized as separate species. On the basis of their morphological distinctiveness, these taxa are comparable to many other currently recognized Eurasian ones. The presence of Eurasian alien species also cannot be excluded. The need for a comprehensive study of Australian taxa of Salsola is emphasized.

The morphological and genetic characteristics of the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus caninus) are described for animals from a range of locations throughout its known geographic distribution in eastern Australia. Although there is considerable variation among populations, unequivocal morphological and genetic differences exist between northern and southern populations of the species. Specimens from southern populations (from Victoria) have a significantly (P < 0.001) larger ear conch, a significantly (P < 0.001) longer pes, and a significantly (P < 0.001) shorter tail than do specimens from northern populations (from New South Wales and Queensland). Animals can be clearly distinguished using a simple index based on these three morphological measures, which are gathered from live animals. North–south dimorphism is strongly supported by patterns in genetic data that show genetic distances of 2.7–3.0% between the southern and northern populations. The combined outcomes of morphological and genetic analyses suggest the existence of two distinct species. We recommend that the northern form, distributed from central New South Wales north to central Queensland, retain the name Trichosurus caninus; the southern form from Victoria is described here as Trichosurus cunninghami, sp. nov. The common names of these new species should be the 'short-eared possum' and the 'mountain brushtail possum', respectively.

A New Species

Anopsobius wrighti n. sp., from the New England and Washpool-Gibraltar Range regions of northern New South Wales, is the first Australian species of the Gondwanan genus Anopsobius Silvestri, 1899 (Henicopidae: Anopsobiinae). Anopsobius is also known from Chile, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, South Africa, New Zealand, and the Chatham and Auckland Islands. The new species is closely related to the New Zealand species A. neozelanicus Silvestri, 1909.

The Relationship

In South Africa, there is little authority on the relationship between the credit provider (bank) and the credit receiver (debtor) after a property has been declared executable and sold at an auction by the Sheriff of the Court following the debtor’s default on a loan underlying a mortgage bond. The Uniform Rules of Court may shortly be amended in order to allow a reserve price to be set at an auction. However, the bank may still be compelled to buy the property into possession (PIP) in order to preserve the asset so that it protects the interest of both itself and the debtor should this reserve price not be met by third party purchasers. This amendment is therefore unlikely to address the underlying problems that exist when a bank elects to buy a property at an auction. The authority that does exist provides that the banks stand in a different position vis-à-vis the debtor to that of a third party purchaser. Most notably, it provides that the bank has a duty to credit the proceeds of any sale, when the property is sold from its stock of PIPs to the account of the debtor. This appears to be correct, but there should be a sound theoretical foundation for this proposition. What further duties are owed to the debtor by the bank in these circumstances? In order to address this question, certain suggestions are made based on the New South Wales legal position.

This mite was described by Froggatt as attacking oats in New South Wales in 1921 (Agric. Gaz. N.S.W. 3rd Jan. 1921) under the name of Notophallus bicolor, sp. n., but with a very inadequate description. In my paper of 1933 “ On some Acarina from Australia and South Africa ” (Trans. Roy. Soc. South Aust. 57, pp. 108–112) I recorded it from the Cape Town area of South Africa, as well as from certain States of the Australian Commonwealth, giving a redescription and detailed figures. The generic name was changed to Penthaleus, as it had been shown that Notophallus of Canestrini 1886 was synonymous with Koch's Penthaleus of 1838. At that time, although so far as I was aware no recent redescription of any of the European species of Penthaleus had been published, I gave P. bicolor (Frog.) as doubtfully synonymous with P. major (Dugès 1834), a species considered by European workers as the same as P. haematopus, Koch 1835, and P. insulanus, Thorell, 1872.

Within the Australian macropod genus Petrogale (rock wallabies) nine chromosomally distinct species occur along the Great Dividing Range of eastern Australia (Sharman et al. 1990; Eldridge et al. 1991a; Eldridge and Close 1992). However, Close et al. (1988) found Petrogale from the Grampians, Victoria and from Jenolan Caves, New South Wales, to be remarkably similar despite their 800 km separation (Fig. 1). Standard and C-banded karyotypes of both populations were typical of Petrogale penicillata and were identical except that one Grampians animal was heterozygous for absence of a C-band on chromosome 2. Apart from their smaller physical size, the only difference was that the Grampians animals were homozygous for a unique Pgm allele.
