30 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 1990 ADDITIONS TO THE ANNOTATED LIST OF THE INSECTS OF MACAU 1 Emmett R. Easton^ ABSTRACT: One Orthoptera, 18 species of Coleoptera, 6 Diptera, 12 Heteroptera, 17 Lepidoptera and 1 species of Neuroptera are listed from Macau. The majority of species were collected on the outside walls, ceilings or on the floors of buildings comprising the University of East Asia campus on the island of Taipa during early morning hours. The insect fauna of Macau is believed similar but not identical with that of the better known fauna of Hong Kong or those of its many associated islands. The species reported here were found during 1990 but had not been observed on buildings during the previous year (Easton 1991), either because populations were very low during 1989 or some species may develop on a 2-year cycle. Not all of the species found in Macau have been reported in Hong Kong, e.g. the cerambycid beetle, Imantocera penicillata (Hope) (personal communication, C. Lau). The campus buildings are connected by walkways that are illuminated at night and insects found were those that remained either on the ceil-ings, walls or the floors on the outsides of the structures until early morning. Sites listed in this study include buildings such as Block I, Block III, Tai Fung, K.C. Wong and the library as well as areas con-necting buildings such as the skyway lobby, classroom CLG 401 and the temporary classroom corridor. Identifications were carried out with the aid of Hill et al. (1982), Hill and Cheung (1978) and Hill (1982) and collected material has been compared with identified specimens in the Agriculture and Fisheries entomology collection, Hong Kong, as well as Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. Common names have been taken from Hill and Cheung (1978), Hill (1982) and Hill et al. (1978) for Hong Kong.
