118 AUSTRALIAN PROCTOTR YPOIDEA . 



i/«'. : North Queensland (Halifax, Herbert River). 

 Described from one male taken in egg bed of Locusla rJanica 

 in company v/ith Inciisfce. ovi and australis, March. 1914 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



Tiii>€ : In the .South Australian Museum, a ^ on a 

 tag. the antennae and forewings on a slide. 



8fELio FROGGATTi. Craivford. 



I am not able to reconcile the male specimen identified 

 bv Girault (Ent. .Soc. of Washington. D.C., Vol. XV, No. 1. 

 1913. pp. 6-7) and myself (Trans. Royal Soc. of iSouth Aus- 

 tralia, Vol. XXXVII. 1913, p. 13' ) with Crawford's species. 

 Crawford had only female specimens but in Mr. W. W. 

 Froggatts collection there are males labelled " Scelio frog- 

 gatti," and saad to have ])een bred with the female type 

 material. These males have the antennae colored as in 

 australis. Moreover it does not seem likely that a female 

 with dark brown {i.e. black) antennae should have a male 

 with the antennae wholly honey yellow. The antemise of 

 this male specimen differ from those of ovi and australis in 

 that the third funiclo joint is not much enlarged. 



tScELio FULGiDus. C ruivjord . 



Crawford's description gives the color of the abdomen 

 as dark brown, but in the Froggatt collection are specimens 

 of the type material with the abdomen jet black. It is 

 possible that Crawford's specimens had the abdomen 

 discolored in some way. perhaps from remaining long in 

 alcohol. Fulgidus has a broader type of abdomen than 

 the species related to australis, as have also pulchellus 

 Crawford and chortoicetes Froggatt, of which I have seen 

 specimens. 



Scelio , sp. '. 



In March, 1914, in company with other Scelios on egg- 

 beds of Locusta danica Halifax, Herbert River, N.Q., 

 five specimens were observed with a reddish thorax, but 

 unfortunately were not captured.
