Australian Proctotrypoidea, with Deseriptions of Forty-five new Species. 93 
Hab.: North Queensland (Kuranda and Babinda, near 
Cairns). Described from one 2 caught with novae-hollandiae. Also 
one @ caught in jungle, Babinda, 10th February, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: a@ ona tag, head and forewings on a slide. 
Genus Anteris Foerster. 
The six Australian species described by me in the genus 
Paridris Kieffer, should be transferred to the genus Anteris Foerster. 
I have been misled by the phrase appearing in Kieffer’s description 
of the genus (Genera Insectorum, Family Scelionidae, Addenda 
and Corrigenda 1910, page 79), “scutellum avec un frein ponctue’. 
The scutellum in the six aforesaid Australian species does not 
appear to be different from that of other genera. Moreover, Kieffer 
states that the genus Anteris Foerster has a small spine on the 
postscutellum (metanotum of Kieffer), whereas Ashmead does not 
mention this character for the genus Paridris Kieffer (/’dris Ashmead, 
not Foerster). The Australian species all possess this character.
