    This collection consists of the writings of Gunter Hirschberg and Hedwig Burchard (Ruth Hirschberg's mother).Series I includes the writings of Gunter Hirschberg. Prominent among them is a lecture on Jewish women in English and German. The series also contains his diaries; some of them are undated, but seem to be from his early years. One is a travel diary from 1954. - Hedwig Burchard's writings can be found in Series II. The bulk of the writings are travel diaries from several journeys in Germany and Italy. There is also a diary, which, among other things, records the birth of Ruth. One essay, on working opportunities for women, was originally located with Gunter Hirschberg's lecture about Jewish women, located in folder 4. - Series III holds various writings. Prominent among them is the Stammbaum (family tree) of the Burchard family, reaching back to 1760 with a final update in 1964. Series II also holds Ruth Hirschberg's Poesiealbum from 1929, and an article about the life and work of Gunter Hirschberg in Congregation Rodeph Sholom's The Chronicle from 1989.Gunter Hirschberg was born in Berlin in 1920. His parents sent him to England in 1936, where he completed his secondary education. As an enemy alien he was later deported from England to Australia. In Australia, he pursued both a ministerial and musical career, giving many concerts for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1944, he married Ruth Burchard (1921-2004) in Sydney. Ruth had immigrated to Australia in 1939. The couple immigrated to the US in 1947, where Gunter Hirschberg became the cantor of a synagogue in Brooklyn. In 1952, he became the cantor of Congregation Rodeph Sholom in Manhattan. He completed his education at Columbia University and afterwards entered Hebrew Union College to study for the rabbinate. In 1972, he became Senior Rabbi at Rodeph Sholom. He died in 1989.Ruth Burchard was born in 1921 as the daughter of Otto Burchard (b. 1895) and Hedwig Eggers (1889-1964). She had one sister, Ursula. In 1939, the family immigrated to Australia. In the US, Ruth Hirschberg worked in the lingerie industry from which she retired in the 1980’s. In 1976 she was cited by Cosmopolitan Magazine as “one of 36 women with real power,” representing the first woman executive in apparel manufacturing.digitize

Paratypes: Pungalina, 9.6 km SSE Pungalina Homestead, Karns Creek, 16°47'30"S, 137°27'27"E, 26.vi– 8.vii.2012, N.L.

Gunter (25-057609 x1 ♀ in ANIC also as DNA extraction COL2438). Description. Uniform dark brown in colour. Antennal clubs grey. Total length: 2.3 mm. Holotype measurements: Total length 2.3 mm, elytral width 1.5 mm. Male: Head: U-shaped between clypeal teeth, which are short and upturned. Margin slightly angulate at clypeogenal suture. Genal angle weakly defined. Basal carina present but interrupted medially. Surface of head reticulate between clypeal suture and apical margin. Dorsal part of eyes narrow in size, separated by interocular space approximately 16–17 times eye width (33: 2); eye canthus nearly dividing eye. Head 1.3 × wider than long (41:32). Prothorax: Hypomeral surface finely reticulate with light punctation. Hypomeral striae about half the length of hypomeron. Pronotum 1.6 × wider than long (66:41). Elytra: Striae 1–5 narrow and double, with very fine punctate edges. All striae on disc not equal width, striae 6–7 are weaker and narrower. Elytra 1.15 × wider than long (68:80). Legs: Apical tooth of protibiae elongate and bent downwards. Front edge of protibiae deeply angulate; apical digit somewhat elongate and sharp; two teeth on outer edge. Inner edge of metatibiae almost straight. Metatarsi with 2nd tarsomere subequal to the 5th. Tarsal claws small and simple. Abdomen: Pygidium with a secondary basal line across base of depression, pygidial depression tear-drop shaped, containing an inverted V-shaped tubercle that positioned in upper third. Depression occupies at least half size of disc and just extends under the virtually straight upper edge of pygidium. Abdominal ventrites reticulated right across. Segment 6 very finely punctate. Pterothorax: Medial lobe of metaventrite finely punctate and broadly margined between mesocoxae. Lateral lobe of metaventrite smooth and punctate with setae. Meso-metaventral suture very slightly arched. Mesoventrite with slight notch anteriorly. Mesoventrite with discernible punctures at least at sides. Mesepimeron reticulate. Metanepisternum reticulate. Female: Apical tooth on protibia similar to the male, otherwise as per the L. pygmaeus species group. Etymology. Named for the type locality, Pungalina. Distribution. Known only from three specimens collected in open forests of the Northern Territory IBRA regions GUC and DAC (Fig. 14). Given the disjunct distribution of these two IBRA regions, it is likely it is likely L. pungalina also occurs in the adjoining IBRA regions. Comments. Lepanus pungalina was unknown at the time when the informal nomenclature for undescribed species of Lepanus was reported (Yeates et al. 2011) but was designated the informal name “ Lepanus NT5” within this revision, which was followed in the phylogenetic study of Gunter et al. (2018). The holotype L. pungalina was sequenced in the study of Gunter et al. (2018) (ANIC 25-057708) and was recovered as a member of the monsoonal clade of Lepanus, which contains species in the L. pygmaeus species group, sister to L. guthrieae. It should be noted that as the holotype has been sampled for DNA, it is missing a mesothoracic leg and a metathoracic leg. All specimens were collected in mushroom or human dung baited pitfall traps.Published as part of Gunter, Nicole L. & Weir, Thomas A., 2019, Revision of Australian species of the dung beetle genus Lepanus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): key to species groups and description of 14 new species from the L. pygmaeus species group, pp. 41-80 in Zootaxa 4564 (1) on pages 74-75, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4564.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/258862
