LIST OF LOCALITIES 
Localities are listed approximately from north to south, because 
faunal transitions are best treated in that direction, although our 
collecting (and the numbering of our maps) was in general in the 
other direction. Letters and numbers following the names refer to 
the accompanying maps (Q = Queensland map, etc), on which the 
approximate position of localities is shown by number. One number 
is sometimes used to include two or more adjacent localities. Names 
are spelled according to Gazetteer No. 40, AUSTRALIA, prepared 
by the United States Office of Geography, Dept, of Interior (1957), 
with my original spelling indicated in parentheses if different. Lati- 
tudes and longitudes of most localities can be obtained from this 
gazetteer. Topography of each locality is indicated by “low” (low- 
lands, inch interior plains with lowland topography even if at 
moderate altitudes), “plat” (plateaus rising from lowlands), “mts” 
(mountains), and “rge” (mountain range). Altitudes given are 
usually the approximate or prob(able) altitudes at which collecting 
was done rather than exact altitudes of fixed points. Types of forests 
chiefly collected in are indicated as savannah w(oodland), sclerophyll 
f( orest), and rain f( orest). This is the primary classification of 
forests in the wetter parts of eastern Australia (see “The Australian 
Environment,” Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research 
Organization, Melbourne, second ed., 1950, p. 78). Savannah wood- 
land has trees (usually eucalypts) widely spaced, and ground covered 
with grass or herbs. Sclerophyll forest has trees closer, and dense 
undergrowth of shrubs. Rain forest has trees close, often many vines, 
but scanty undergrowth. Of course there is variation and transition 
within this main classification. Savannah woodland varies in height 
and spacing of trees and (in Tasmania and southern Australia) some- 
times merges with sclerophyll forest. Sclerophyll forest may be dry 
or wet, and wet sclerophyll is sometimes difficult to distinguish from 
poor rain forest. Tropical rain forest (often with giant fig trees etc.) 
and south temperate rain forest (often with antarctic beeches of the 
genus Nothofagus) are very different botanically, and entomologically. 
And tropical rain forest varies considerably and (as here used) 
sometimes grades into seasonally dry monsoon forest. My classification 
of forests in the following list is somewhat arbitrary and is based 
on general impressions rather than exact data. Dates are those of 
my collecting. Previous collecting done at the same localities in 193 1- 
1932 is indicated in parentheses. Single words or phrases are used
