A palynolological investigation of Upper Tertiary sediments was carried out by analysis of core samples from Iviri No. 1 well, drilled by the Australasian Petroleum Company Pty Ltd, in the Central Delta region of Papua. Descriptions are given of six new form genera: Ophioglossumporites (Pteridophyta), Hakeidites, Guettardidites, Canthiumidites, Planchoniidites and Malvaceidites (Angiospermae). New species described are Ophioglossumsporites novaguineensis, Gleicheniidites major, Klukisporites ivirensis, Baculatisporites papuanus, Cingulatisporites papuanus, C. ivirensis, C. psilatus, Polypodiisporites foveoirregularis, and Microfoveolatosporites psilotiformis (Pteridophyta), Hakeidites martinii, Guettardidites ivirensis, Canthiumidites reticulatus, Planchoniidites areolatoides, Malvaceidites spinosus, Dicolpopollis metroxylonoides, Diporites barrellus, Diporites papuanus, Triporopollenites ulmiformis, Proteacidites heliciformis, P, knightiiformis, P. papuanus, Malvacipollis problematicus, Malvacerumpollis papuensis, Juglanspollenites polyporus, Rhoipites antidesmiformis, Discoidites novaguineensis, Extratriporopollenites elaegniformis, Tricolpites rubioides, Tricolpites tertiarius, Polyadopollenites gigantea (Angiospermae), and Tasmanites novaguineensis (Algae).' The new combination Stenochlaenidites papuanus is proposed for a pteridophyte species.

Senior Synonym

Descriptions or redescriptions of the genus Anthrenocerus Arrow and 31 species are provided as well as a tabular key to all species; the descriptions include adult genitalia and illustrations. One new combination, Trogoderma niger (Armstrong, 1943), comb. nov., is proposed. Trogoderma riguum Erichson, 1842 is recognised as the senior synonym ofA. australis Hope, 1843 but A. australis is retained pending application to the ICZN. Fourteen new species are described; these are:A. armstrongi, sp. nov., A. brindabella, sp. nov.,A. corrugatus, sp. nov.,A. decoris, sp. nov., A. hirsutus, sp. nov., A. intricatus, sp. nov., A. musaicus, sp. nov., A. nebulosus, sp. nov., A. occidentalis, sp. nov., A. pilatus, sp. nov., A. pinto, sp. nov., A. schwarzeneggeri, sp. nov., A. stellatus, sp. nov., and A. tessellatus, sp. nov. The genus is now reported from Papua New Guinea.

The Family

The Australian taxa of Micropezidae (listed at end of paper) are keyed and described. Crus, Scela, Veru and Seva are new subgenera of Metopochetus Enderlein. In all, 21 new species are described in the genera Metopochetus, CothornobataCzerny, CrepidochetusEnderlein and Mimegralla Rondani. Cothornobata inermis (Malloch) is a new combination (from Grammicomyia). Lectotypes are designated for Calobata compressa Walker (now in Metopochetus), Calobata bivittata Macquart (now in Metopochetus),Mimegralla contingens australicaHennig (now M. australica), Calobata contraria Walker [synonym ofMimegralla sepsoides (Walker)]. Records of the following from Australia are found to be erroneous: Calobata albimana Macquart [synonym ofTaeniaptera trivittata (Macquart)],Mimegralla abana (Walker), Calobata brevicellulata Macquart (now in Mimegralla), Calobata coeruleifrons Macquart (now in Mimegralla) and Metopochetus tipuloides (Walker). The erroneous record of Cothornobata viriata (Enderlein) from Papua New Guinea is corrected. Distributions of species are recorded by means of grid references to a key map. Information on ecology and habits of Australian micropezids is summarised. The populations of two flightless species are vulnerable, because each is apparently dependent on an ecologically vulnerable host-plant species (families Brassicaceae and Cephalotaceae). A phylogeny of the recognised subfamilies and tribes of Micropezidae is given. Literature on fossil micropezids is reviewed.

Abstract. Two new genera and eight new species of benthic foraminifera are described from the shallow water, tropical lagoon of Madang, Papua New Guinea. The new hauerinid genus Pseudolachlanella is characterized by juvenile cryptoquinqueloculine, adult almost massiline arranged chambers, and a slitlike, curved aperture with parallel sides and a long, slender, curved miliolid tooth. Pitella haigi n. gen., n. sp. is a new foraminifera with cryptoquinqueloculine arranged chambers, an almost entirely pitted shell surface (pseudopores) and a rounded aperture with a short simple tooth. Among the other species described as new are four hauerinids and two agglutinated foraminifera All new species described here occur sporadically in the shallow water back- and forereef environments of the lagoon (0–55m), and live infaunally and epifaunally in well-oxygenated, fine and coarse grained biogenic sediments. They are absent in muddy, organic-rich, low-oxygen sedimentary environments within bay inlets where variations of salinity are considerable.

New Diagnosis

Iphimedia is reviewed and a new diagnosis based on 35 known species is given. Three new species, one each from Australia, Papua New Guinea and Florida, are described. This is the only genus, in a family otherwise confined to cold and deep oceans, that has tropical species.

A New Species

Heminicsara Karny, 1912 is a katydid genus of Agraeciini from the Axylus genus group. It currently comprises 62 species from mainly New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. Based on recent fieldwork in Lobo in West Papua, Indonesia, a new species of Heminicsara is described here: Heminicsara incrassata sp. nov. It is most readily characterised from congeners and other species of the Axylus genus group by the male tenth abdominal tergite forming a large shield-shaped plate. This represents the first species of Heminicsara described and known from the south-west of New Guinea.
