Prolaelius glossinae appears to be nearest to Pamlaelius firmipennis, Ca^raevon (1905), 

 from Dunbrody, Cape Colony. From Cameron's description it is probable that 

 " firmipennis " is a misprint for " fumipetinis.^^ We have placed this interesting 

 parasite provisionally in the genus Prolaelius, Kieff. (Nov, 1905), which does not 

 differ very markedly from Laelius, Ashm. (1893). Prolaelius is merely, indeed, a 

 new name for the monotj^ic Paralaelius, Cam. {nee Kieft.), published April 1905, 

 and it is unhkely that KiefEer has seen any example of Cameron's species. Paralaelius, 

 Kiefi. (Jan. 1905) is confined to North America.
