A New Species

New species of Phaneropterinae are described from the tropical rainforests of far north Queensland. A number of new species of the widespread Australian genus Caedicia (C. webberi, C. goobita and C. kuranda) are described with notes on biology and ecology. C. flexuosa I. Bolivar is recorded from Australia for the first time. Currimundria and Kurandoptera are described as new genera each with very distinctive species and a new species of Ephippithyta, E. kuranda, is also described from north Queensland. Two species of Diastella are described, D. kuranda and D. hilleri. One species of Diastella, D. hilleri, is described from the mountains of southeast Queensland. Cytological information is presented for several taxa. A key to the relevant Australian genera in the “Group” Ephippithytae is presented.

Three New Species

We revise the Australian Phytoseiinae (Acari : Mesostigmata : Phytoseiidae) based on a study of over 1000 slide-mounted specimens. Of the three currently recognised genera in the subfamily, onlyPhytoseius is known from Australia, but endemic species occur in each of its three species-groups. We describe 11 new species, including P. bunya, the first Australian representative of the purseglovei-group. The plumifer-group is represented by five species including P. danutae, sp. nov. and P. improcerus Corpuz, a Philippine mite newly reported from Australia; in addition, P. leaki Schicha is newly reported from New Zealand. In Australia, the horridus-group contains two oceanic-island species, P. hawaiiensis Prasad and P. mayottae Schicha (newly reported), and two complexes of Australasian endemics. The fotheringhamiae-complex has seven species, including three new species from tropical rainforests in far north Queensland – P. paluma,P. camelot and P. devildevil; in addition, P. fotheringhamiae is newly reported from New Zealand. The douglasensis-complex also has seven species, including six new species from Queensland and the Northern Territory: P. oreillyi, P. acaciae, P. brigalow, P. mantoni, P. darwin and P. litchfieldensis. All 22 species of Phytoseiusknown from Australia are keyed and diagnosed, and their distributions are detailed.

Antibody Coating

Maize rayado fino virus (MRFV) causes a severe disease of corn (Zea mays) in many locations throughout the neotropics and as far north as southern U.S. MRFV particles detected by direct electron microscopy of negatively stained sap from infected leaves are not necessarily distinguishable from many other small isometric viruses infecting plants (Fig. 1).Immunosorbent trapping of virus particles on antibody-coated grids and the antibody coating or decoration of trapped virus particles, was used to confirm the identification of MRFV. Antiserum to MRFV was supplied by R. Gamez (Centro de Investigacion en Biologia Celular y Molecular, Universidad de Costa Rica, Ciudad Universitaria, Costa Rica).Virus particles, appearing as a continuous lawn, were trapped on grids coated with MRFV antiserum (Fig. 2-4). In contrast, virus particles were infrequently found on grids not exposed to antiserum or grids coated with normal rabbit serum (similar to Fig. 1). In Fig. 3, the appearance of the virus particles (isometric morphology, 30 nm diameter, stain penetration of some particles, and morphological subunits in other particles) is characteristic of negatively stained MRFV particles. Decoration or coating of these particles with MRFV antiserum confirms their identification as MRFV (Fig. 4).

Self Harm

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.

According to the legal norms of the Russian Federation in the ownership, usage and disposal of natural resources the author analyses interaction between natural resources users and local authorities. The interaction is based upon ecological and economic factors, which cause the peculiarities of requirements put before natural resource users in the Far North. The strategic directions of resource saving economic development of these regions are considered.
