“…This is not the place to attempt a full review of this work but mention must be made of the classic studies of Clark and his colleagues on the population dynamics of eucalypt psyllids (Clark & Dallwitz 1974, 1975 and of Readshaw (1965) on eucalypt phasmids. Of a very large and scattered body of taxonomic work the sustained work of Taylor on the eucalypt psyllids is also outstanding (Taylor 1962(Taylor , 1987a. In rainforests, few studies of insects were carried out although exciting and subsequentially very influential work on insect herbivory was begun, principally in sub-tropical and warm temperate forests (Lowman 1982(Lowman , 1985(Lowman , 1992.…”

The ubiquity and functional importance of invertebrates means they have become increasingly recognised as suitable goals for conservation activities. The simple transfer of regulation and management activities devised for vertebrates and plants has occurred in almost all Australian States and Territories. In a few well known and exceptional cases this approach is effective. In addition it draws attention to flagship taxa which may be used as leverage for including invertebrates, in general, in conservation activities. In general though the management for conservation of complete arthropod assemblages is more in line with current thinking which aims to preserve the ecological functionality of ecosystems. In this regard the recent development of survey techniques has generated baseline inventories for some forest ecosystems. From such inventories sets of taxa may be identified statistically which are effective surrogates for the entire invertebrate fauna. Such 'predictor sets' are proving to be robust tools and have great potential for the monitoring of ecosystem health. The continued involvement of invertebrates in conservation management and monitoring is dependent on the maintenance, nationally, of the taxonomic enterprise. There is little evidence of this in recent policy decisions.

“…They recognised the Diaphorininae and Euphyllurinae as subfamilies of the Aphalaridae but transferred the proposed new tribe, Ctenarytainini, from the Spondyliaspididae to the aphalarid Euphyllurinae. Taylor (1985, 1987a), in recognising their affinities with the Ctenarytainini, placed the new genera Blastopsylla Taylor, Anoeconeossa Taylor and Leptospermonastes Taylor in the Euphyllurinae and Platyobria Taylor (Taylor 1987b) in the Diaphorininae (Table 1).…”

Chromosome numbers and sex‐determining systems of 16 species in 10 genera of Australian Psyllidae: Spondyliaspidinae (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) are presented. This is the first comprehensive karyological study for the Spondyliaspidinae. Karyotypes were: 2n = 11 (10 + X) for males of Australopsylla sp., Boreioglycaspis melaleucae (Moore), Cardiaspina albitextura Taylor, Creiis sp., Platyobria lewisi Taylor and Spondyliaspis plicatuloides (Froggatt); 2n = 9 (8 + X) for Blastopsylla adnatariae Taylor, Blastopsylla moorei Taylor, Cardiaspina retator Taylor, Cryptoneossa sp. (near triangula Taylor), Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore; and 2n = 7 (6 + X) for Anoeconeossa communis Taylor, Anoeconeossa sp. (communis group), Anoeconeossa sp. (fuscipennis group), A. unicornuta Taylor and Creiis vulgaris Taylor. The chromosome number 2n = 7 is the lowest recorded for any Psylloidea. The number of testicular follicles and arrangement of spermatocyte cysts (spermatocysts) in the follicles of each species, and of an additional species, Ctenarytaina sp. are described. Aspects of the karyology and morphology of the male reproductive system of each of the 17 species in 11 genera of Spondyliaspidinae are discussed in terms of recent shifts in spondyliaspidine classification and of the phylogenetic position of the Spondyliaspidinae within the Psylloidea.

“…A full revision of the genus has been in preparation for several years. One species, C. eucalypti (Maskell), has been recorded from Eucalyptus L'Heritier in several countries overseas for many years, and another, C. longicauda Taylor, was first recorded from California on Lophostemon confertus (R.Br) in 1987 (Taylor 1987). …”
