Two species attributable to Callophyllis, a genus only recently recorded from eastern mainland Australia, are described from subtidal habitats in New South Wales. One of the species closely conforms to the New Zealand endemic Callophyllis ilepressa (J. Agardh) Laing, formerly the type species of the genus Ectophora J. Agardh. Although full reproductive details of this species are lacking, evidence in this survey strongly suggests that the genus was and is correctly placed in synonymy with Callophyllis. Thalli of C. depressa consist of prostrale, spreading, imbricate blades firmly anchored to rocky substrata by numerous haptera arising from the under surfaces. Upper frond surfaces are iridescent in localised patches corresponding to nests of refractive subcortical cells. The outer cortex in cross section comprises three to six layers and is composed of anticlinal filaments lacking secondary pit connections. The medulla consists of large, subisodiametric cells interspersed with narrow filaments. Plants appear to be procarpic, the supporting cells bearing a single three-celled carpogonial branch and several elaborately lobed, elongated, sterile cells. The second species is named Callophyllis nana sp. nov. for its diminutive (1.5 to 3 cm in length) fronds. Blades overlap, anastornose, and attach to rocky or bryozoan substrata by a single basal holdfast. The cortex is single-layered, the medulla being one to several layers of large subisodiametric cells interspersed with narrow filaments. Plants appear to be procarpic, the supporting cells bearing a single three-celled carpogonial branch and several relatively unlobed, short, bulbous sterile cells. Because of the inclusion of Ectophora into Callophyllis, the new name Callophyllis laingiaiia is proposed to replace Callophyllis dichotoma (J. Agardh) Laing [non C. dichotoma (Hooker et Harvey in Hooker) Kützing].

State Of Affairs

Some months ago, in an article on “Colonial Lunacy Boards,” [in the number of the “Edinburgh Medical Journal” for March, 1872,] I had occasion to announce that the New Zealand Government had put upon paper certain “Resolutions”1 regarding Lunacy-Reform in the Colony, including a proposal forthwith to appoint at least one Commissioner in Lunacy, who should act as adviser to Government in all Lunacy matters, as well as supervise all the Lunatic Asylums of the Colony. I expressed a fear that the intentions apparently embodied in the said resolutions were “too good news to be true,” and that they would prove but formal suggestions—to be laid upon the table of the House of Assembly, there to remain [shelved] for an indefinite period, just as similar proposals for Lunacy Reform have been treated in the sister colony of New South Wales. Unfortunately for the insane, and for the Lunatic Hospitals, of New Zealand, my surmises have proved to be only too correct —my fears only too well founded. By the August mail (1872) I received two letters from tne Honourable Dr. Buchanan, of Dunedin, Member of the Legislative Council, and mover of the Parliamentary Resolutions above referred to.2 That the proposals which these resolutions contained, have not yet been adopted, is certainly no fault of his; for of his hearty interest and honest intention in the matter there can be no question. In his letters he gives the following most unsatisfactory account of the present state of affairs in New Zealand in regard to Lunacy Progress or Reform—a state of affairs which I quite agree with him in considering discreditable and disgraceful to its reputation as a British Colony!

Molecular systematics, morphological analysis, and hybrid crossing identify a third taxon, Aedes (Halaedes) wardangensis sp.nov., of the Aedes (Halaedes) australis species-group (Diptera: Culicidae)

Phylogenetic and morphological analyses, male morphology, and hybrid crossing indicate that a population from Wardang Island, South Australia, is distinct from the monophyletic series of populations of Aedes (Halaedes) australis (Erichson) 1842 from Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, and New Zealand. The name Aedes (Halaedes) wardangensis has been assigned to the new species. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the cytochrome oxidase II and internal transcribed spacer loci support the resurrection of Aedes (Halaedes) ashworthi Edwards, 1921 (Brust and Mahon, 1997). Aedes ashworthi is known only from Western Australia and was found to be infertile when crossed with Ae. wardangensis from South Australia and Ae. australis from New Zealand. The hybrid of Ae. australis from New South Wales × Ae. australis from New Zealand was fertile for three generations, documenting these as conspecific.

Two New Species

Two new species of Achilini from eastern Australia are described and keys to the genera of Achilini in Australia, and species of the genus Anabunda, are provided. In addition, the type species of Anabunda is redescribed and the recorded distribution extended. The new species are Anabunda murrayfletcheri sp. nov. from Queensland, and A. minuta sp. nov. from New South Wales and Queensland. Both represent short-range endemic species, possibly under threat because of rapid urbanisation within their ranges. Biogeography and plant associations are discussed briefly.

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.
