Banksia Island

Banksia Island

Banksia Island is a small island in the Montebello Islands, off the north-west coast of Western Australia. It is located at 20º 24' S 115º 30' E. It is thought to be the "Banks Island" upon which the dipterist John Russell Malloch collected the type specimen for "Lamprogaster indistincta", a species of signal fly, in 1928.
