Abstract

The Golden Sun Moth Synemon plana is a medium-sized diurnal moth considered to be critically endangered in Australia. The discovery of new populations around Melbourne since 2002 suggest that S. plana is more widespread and may have less specific habitat requirements than previously thought. A survey was undertaken during the species’ 2006/7 flight season, with the aim of improving our understanding of its distribution in the Melbourne area. This report summarises the findings of that survey.
