Abstract

We record the presence of Appias albina infuscata on the Australian mainland for the first time. A female black morph of this subspecies, otherwise endemic to Sumbawa, Indonesia, is recorded from near Darwin, Northern Territory. The specimen was recorded during the height of the summer monsoon and probably represents a vagrant that dispersed to north-western Australia facilitated by monsoonal climatic conditions (westerly trade winds) rather than by directional migration.
