Australian Proctotrypoidea, with Descriptions of Forty-five new Species. 97 
Hab.: North Queensland (Kuranda, near Cairns). Described 
from one Q caught by sweeping in forest, 1300 feet, 15th September, 
1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: a@ on a tag. 
Genus Mieroteleia Kieffer. 
1. Microteleia (Leptoteleia) aurca Dodd. 
This species should be transferred to the genus Microteleia. 
A female of aurea was caught by sweeping on edge of jungle, Ku- 
randa, near Cairns, 16th September, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
2. Microteleia (Leptoteleia) australica Dodd. 
This species should also be placed here, making the third 
Australian species of the genus. 
Genus Hoploteleia Ashmead. 
1. Hoploteleia insularıs Dodd. 
This species must fall as a synonym of australica Dodd. I 
have taken many specimens of australica with the forewings a 
little infuscated as in the type and only specimen of insularis. 
The shape of the eyes alone can not suffice as a specific character. 
I have taken several specimens of australica by sweeping in forest, 
1400 feet, Kuranda, near Cairns, 15th September, 1913. The 
antennae in the females of this species, are wholly black, the first 
three funicle joints sometimes suffused slightly with yellow; coxae 
black. 
2. Hoploteleia pulchricornis Dodd. 
A female of this rare species was caught by sweeping on edge 
of jungle, Nelson, near Cairns, 29th January, 1914. The coxae in 
this species are yellow as in acuminata Dodd. 
Genus Cacellus Ashmead. 
1. Cacellus augustus sp. nov. 
Q@ Length, 5.00 mm. 
Shining black; legs (including the coxae) and antennal scape 
and pedicel, bright lemon yellow; tarsi, apex of spine on post- 
scutellum, posterior margin of scutellum, and antennal funicle, 
dark ferruginous. 
Head transverse, slightly wider than the thorax; coarsely 
rugoso-punctate; eyes large, bare; ocelli large, lateral ocelli nearer 
to the eye margins than to the median ocellus; mandibles large, 
tridentate. Thorax a little longer than wide; pronotum not visible 
from above; mesoscutum large, rugoso-punctate; parapsidal 
furrows deep and distinct; scutellum large, semicircular, margined 
posteriorly, rugoso-punctate, but smooth centrally; postscutellum 
with a large, erect, bidentate spine; metanotum margined poste- 
riorly and carinated laterally, with a large patch of dense whitish 
pubescence laterally; metathoracic posterior angles subacute. Ab- 
domen almost linear, scarcely wider in the centre, than at the
