Assistance with labelling of collections was given by Wilma Chappill, Anne Brearley, Lorraine Cobb, Gillian Craig, Rosemary Jasper, Marion Cambridge, Pauline Grierson, Bill Loneragan, Kelly Shepherd and John Wilkins, and extensive sorting of Jenny’s collections by Juliet Wege, Kelly Shepherd and Kevin Thiele (Biodiversity Conservation Initiative) was much appreciated. Sincere thanks are also given to Lorraine Cobb for the excellent illustrations and to Kelly Shepherd (Biodiversity Conservation Initiative) for editing of the scanned illustrations. David Morris provided molecular phylogenetic data.
