Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), the only sap-transmissible virus detected in a limited survey of lucerne crops in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, is more common and widespread now than 10 years ago. Twenty-four of 35 lucerne crops and test plots we sampled were infected; from 25 % to over 55 % of plants were infected in plots and crops at Ginninderra, A.C.T. Seven of 10 commercial lucerne seed lots (eight of them imported directly from the U.S.A.) contained seedborne AMV, which infected from 0.4 to 1.9% of seedlings. The three lucerne aphids, the bluegreen aphid (Acyrthosiphon kondoi), pea aphid (A. pisum) and the spotted alfalfa aphid (Therioaphis trifolii f. maculata), all transmitted AMV in the non-persistent manner. Feeding-preference tests indicate that spotted alfalfa aphids prefer to feed on AMV-infected Siriver lucerne than on healthy Siriver, but they do not discriminate between healthy and AMV-infected Hunter River lucerne. The implications of these results are discussed.

The wolf spider (Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833) genusArtoriaThorell, 1877 is revised for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia, to include 34 species, 21 of which are new to science:A.albopilata(Urquhart, 1893),A.altaFramenau 2004,A.beaurysp. n.,A.barringtonensissp. n.,A.belfordensissp. n.,A.berenice(L.

Koch, 1877, currently listed inArtoria, is considered a nomen dubium.Artoriaare largely forest dwellers, although some species have preferences for more open areas such as riparian or coastal environments or grasslands. Consequently, the genus mainly occurs east and west along the Great Dividing Range, although some species can be found into the Riverina, Cobar Peneplain and Darling Riverine Plains IBRA regions to the west.
