Abstract

Ectopsis ferrugalis Broun congregating behaviour on damaged lancewood (Pseudopanax crassifolius (A. Cunn.) C. Koch) together with life cycle information is recorded. The attacked tree produced a flow of gum which appeared dependant on available water. The tree, and a nearby damaged fivefinger (P. arboreus (Murr.) Philipson) which was also attacked, subsequently died.
