The parasites found at necropsy of 63 M. agilis from Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory included 18 species of nematodes, 4 of cestodes, 2 of trematodes, 2 of ticks, a louse, a mite and 3 species of protozoa. The most prevalent (>50%) of the helminths were Cloacina spp. (primarily C. australis and C. cornuta) in the stomach, Progamotaenia proterogyna in the small intestine, Labiostrongylus labiostrongylus and Strongyloides sp. in the stomach, Gongylonema alecturae in the oesophagus and stomach, Hypodontus macropi in the caecum and colon and Macropostrongylus macropostrongylus in the stomach. Filarinema sp. and Strongyloides sp. (both undescribed) are new records for this host. Pathological changes were associated with gastric nematodes, P. festiva in the bile ducts, Gemellicotyle wallabicola (new record for Australia) in the stomach, Macropotrema pertinax in the caecum and Durikainema macropi in the portal veins.

A heterosexual pair of specimens of Onycocaris longirostris Bruce, 1980, previously known only from the single incompletemale holotype from New Caledonia, are reported from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. With the male major secondpereiopod and both female second pereiopods, these intact specimens enable the description of the species to be completed. A new record for Australian waters, it increases to 8 the number of Onycocaris species known from Australia.

Tissue Sampling

A new record of an albino marsupial, the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), is described and placed in the context of 10 records since 1874 from all four Australian quoll species. Of the 10 previous records, one was D. hallucatus, seven are likely to be D. viverrinus, one D. maculatus and one unknown. The recent record comprises the live capture of a healthy adult female northern quoll from the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Despite the rarity and likely deleterious nature of the albino condition, this animal appeared to be in good health, carrying eight pouch young, and was released at location of capture following tissue sampling for DNA analysis.

New species and new records of sea spiders for Australia were collected by the RV Southern Surveyor from deep waters off Western Australia during November and December 2005. This study reports fifty-three specimens from five families: Colossendeidae is represented by three species, one of them new to science, Hedgpethia calva n. sp.; there are eight species of the Callipallenidae, including Pseudopallene difficile n. sp.; two species of the Pallenopsidae, one of them a new record for Australia, and a single species of the Nymphonidae, Nymphon rottnesti. Ammotheids are represented by a juvenile of a Cilunculus and two new species, Paranymphon bifilarium n. sp. and Tanystylum zuytdorpi n. sp.
