Hi @Klrvs, I'm VERY sceptical about the ID by a vet. It would be the first member of the species ever recorded in or around Canberra. And R. fuscipes is not known to occur in suburbs. So can you please provide more information: Who identified it? Can I have the carcass? On what technical basis was it identified as R. fuscipes? (For example it is well known that tails of Black Rats are longer than head-body length, and tails of Bush Rats are shorter, but it is not well known that this relationship does not apply with juveniles).

There are two spots defined on NatureMapr for this species Glycaspis brimblecombei and Glycaspis (Glycaspis) brimblecombei. I don't understand the mening of the genus being repeated in brackets but I know it is a common practice. The name in brackets causes problems when searching for this species because the search does not return that name. It only shows up when you only type in just the genus. Hmm...

Psyllidae sp. (family)

I saw your list and noted that A. campestre was pre-Canberra. Lindsay Pryor's book 'Trees in Canberra' lists Pistachia chinensis for Hartog St Griffith; there is at least one left but the others must have been replaced with A. capestre and A. monspessulanum some time between 1960 and 2001 (which is the date for my other list of trees).

Acer campestre

Thanks Mike, for my PhD I collated all woody ornamental exotic planting records in Canberra up to 1980. I found records of 21 different species of Acer being planted in Canberra of which Acer campestre was ranked 13th in terms of abundance of plantings. Acer Campestre is the best fit of the 21 species for this sighting and I am therefor happy to identify it as such
