This volume provides an overview of the series and important background information on the flora of Australia. Chapters by leading scientists review the history of plant exploration in Australia and its literature, and provide concise biographies of major collectors and describers of Australia's plants, guides to the location of their collections and references to more detailed biographies. Current plant communities, the evolution and phytogeography of Australia's unique flora and the impact of human activities are all described. The volume concludes with a glossary of botanical terms, and a key to the families of Australian flowering plants.

Volume 30.1. Diptera: Nematocera covers the Australian representatives of the many, and often very important, dipteran families grouped under the suborder Nematocera. It catalogues 23 families, 44 subfamilies, 61 tribes, over 300 genera, 199 sub genera, some 2400 species, and nearly 3000 species available names. Coverage includes Mosquitoes (Culicidae), Biting midges and Sandflies (Ceratopogonidae and phlebotomine Psychodidae), and Blackflies (Simuliidae) which are all of critical importance to public health. These insects are vectors of diseases such as malaria and arbo-viruses including Ross River virus, Dengue Fever, while others are vectors of canine heartworm and myxomatosis.Researchers involved in river health programmes can check baseline taxonomic, distributional and ecological data on important taxa, such as Chironomidae, Tipulidae and Chaoboridae. Biogeographers will welcome the distributional and ecological information.This 'Yellow Pages' documentation of Australia's Nematocera has significance beyond Australia for public health workers, agriculturalists, environment and conservation managers, and biogeographers.
