Abstract

Acacia irrorata ssp. irrorata Sieber ex Spreng. and Acacia binervata DC. (Fabaceae) are newly recorded as larval food plants in New South Wales for Pseudalmenus chlorinda barringtonensis Waterhouse, 1928 and P. chlorinda chloris Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914, respectively. Attention is drawn to the ecology of the larval attendant ant Anonychomyrma biconvexa (Santschi, 1928), particularly its apparent dependence on old mature eucalypts and potential as an indicator species of old growth habitat.
