Lemidia subaenea Gorham (Hydnocerinae)
Described in 1877 from New South Wales and Tasmania, L. subaenea is likely to have been introduced to Lord Howe Island from southeastern Australia. Three Lord Howe collected specimens are known: AMS (2) and ANIC (1); the earliest being that collected by T.G. Campbell in 1956 (ANIC specimen). In Tasmania L. subaenea is predatory on the larvae of Synanthedon tipuliformis (Clerck) ( Lepidoptera : Sesiidae ) tunnelling in Ribes nigrum ( Hardy 1982) while in southeastern Australia it is a predator of psyllids on Acacia ( New 1978) .
