ENTOMOLOGY AT MT. EDWARDS.

Queensland University. 
Although Easter came early this year, insects were 
by no means plentiful at the Easter Camp at Mt. Edwards. 
The Odonata (dragon-flies) were an exception, probably 
because of the prolonged wet season, and, as the camp 
was located right alongside Reynolds Creek, near the 
entrance of Mt. Edwards Gorge, they received special 
attention. The outstanding species from a Brisbane col- 
lector’s point of view was Diphlebia nymphoides, of which 
three males and one female were seen. The beautiful 
bright blue male was most conspicuous, usually resting on 
the small rocks in the centre of the stream where it was 
most difficult to stalk. A very common species was 
Pseudagrion anreofrons, a very pretty damsel fly with 
golden head and prothorax and blue markings on the 
abdomen. It was more abundant on the larger pools 
where it could be seen flying close to the water, or resting 
on the broad leaves of the water. The black and orange 
Neostida solida was plentiful, usually resting on the reeds 
in sheltered situations along the river bank. Of the 
Libellulidae the most abundant were the bluish grey 
Orthetrnm caledonicnm, the dark red O. villa dovittatum, 
the bright red male and yellow female of Diplacodes 
baematodes. and the black and yellow Nannophlebia risi. 
Hemicordnlta tau and Austrog omphus sp. were also very 
common in the open forest. 
On beating* the foliage of the trees and shrubs along 
the river bank two specimens of Stenosialis australis were 
discovered . This insect, the only representative of the 
family in Queensland, is rather rare. By the same method 
three species of Mayflies, including the common 
Atalophlebia costaHs , were collected, also a number of
