Family COSSIDAE

Introduction

[After Edwards 1996]
The first known Australian Cossidae, Endoxyla lituratus (Donovan), was described by Donovan (1805). Unfortunately, at the same time, he attributed Cossus nebulosis Donovan to Australia but it is from Africa. Australian Cossidae were listed by Walker (1856a), they were included in Seitz's Macrolepidoptera of the World by Gaede (1933b) and were again listed in Lepidopterorum Catalogus by Dalla Torre (1923). Oberthür (1916) published a particularly useful volume illustrating correctly some Australian species and Turner (1945c) revised the Australian Cossidae. Schoorl (1990) redefined the family and some genera, and excluded some Australian species from the Cossidae but they are included here as he was unable to provide an alternative placing for them. The genera used here follow Schoorl (1990). There has been no modern revision of the Australian Cossidae.

Australian cossids occur throughout the continent although only a few species are found in Tasmania. Most Australian species are not closely related to the oriental fauna but a small number of species inhabiting tropical rainforest in Australia are related to the oriental fauna and possibly five or six species are shared with New Guniea.

There are 86 described species known from Australia and many undescribed species.

The female of Endoxla macleayi (Froggatt) is the heaviest Australian moth and possibly the heaviest in the world.

The larvae of Cossidae cause damage to Eucalyptus forests by boring in the wood. McInnes & Carne (1978) provide details of the early stages of Endoxyla cinereus (Tepper). They were also an important item of food for the aborigines (Tindale 1953b) and today there is much interest in the wijuti grub, a subterranean cossid larva used as food. Our knowledge of the group is typified by the fact that, while the term witjuti grub is household name, the actual species of cossid to which it belongs to is not known.

Priority was given to Endoxyla Herrich-Schäffer by Schoorl (1990) as first reviser. Note #176: Premnopsyche Scott, 1864. Scott (1864: 4) first published this name as a junior synonym of Zeuzera Latreille , 1804. Premnopsyche is unavailable and without a type species and is here listed as an unavailable synonym of Endoxyla as Scott's unpublished plate shows he clearly intended the name for the type species of Endoxyla , Endoxyla encalypti Herrich-Schäffer, [1854). Fletcher and Nye (1982) listed Premnopsyche as a synonym of Zeuzera. Note #177: Cossimorphus Houlbert, 1916. This genus-group name was first established as a subgenus of Xyleates Hübner, [1820] with the type species Cossus edwardsorum Tepper, 1891 (as edwardsi Tepper). According to Gaede (1933b) Houlbert misidentified edwardsorum (as edwardsi) and he named edwardsorum sensu Houlbert, 1916 Xyleutes grisea Gaede, 1933. This is a case of misidentified type species which under the Code, Art. 70(a), should be referred to the Commission)

Turner (1945c) recorded it as a senior synonym of E. tenebrifer (Walker, 1856) but the type locality is, as far as is at present known, outside the range of E. tenebrifer. It may be a small specimen of E. encalypti Herrich-Schäffer, [1854]. It is here listed separately for the time being)
