SUMMARY OF THE HOSTS OF SCELIO LATEEILLE IN AUSTRALIA. 



1 From what I can gather this appears to be a synonym of Locusta danica Linn. In the origi- 

 nal description of the parasite, Crawford gave by mistake (as Mr. Froggatt Informed me by 

 letter) Chortoicetes terminifera as the host. 



Though so far removed from the scene of actions of other 

 species of the genus, yet the habits are the same in Australia as 

 in North America, for instance. 



I have to thank Mr. Walter W. Froggatt, Government Ento- 

 mologist, New South Wales, for his kindness in furnishing me 

 with Crawford's descriptions of the species of the genus and for 

 a few facts in connection with hosts as noted.
