  This 
  paper 
  is 
  an 
  attempt 
  to 
  identify 
  the 
  materia] 
  of 
  the 
  Proc- 
  

   totrupoidea 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  and 
  the 
  Hope 
  Depart- 
  

   ment, 
  Oxford 
  University 
  Museum. 
  Four 
  new 
  genera, 
  

   sixty-three 
  new 
  species 
  and 
  two 
  new 
  varieties 
  arc 
  described. 
  

   At 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  other 
  authors' 
  types, 
  

   and 
  have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  sink 
  several 
  genera, 
  and 
  rightly 
  

   place 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  species. 
  The 
  genera 
  are 
  not 
  well 
  defined 
  

   nor 
  understood, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  Scelionidae, 
  and 
  too 
  many 
  

   genera 
  have 
  been 
  erected 
  of 
  recent 
  years 
  without 
  defining 
  

   their 
  relationships 
  and 
  differences. 
  

  

  Family 
  SCELIONIDAE. 
  

  

  Prosapegus 
  Kieffer. 
  

  

  Kieffer 
  erected 
  this 
  genus 
  to 
  contain 
  Ajjegus 
  elongatus 
  

   Ashmead, 
  stating 
  that 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  filiform 
  in 
  both 
  

   sexes 
  ; 
  but 
  elongatus 
  was 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  male 
  sex 
  only. 
  

   The 
  species 
  described 
  herewith 
  form 
  a 
  natural 
  group, 
  and 
  

   agree 
  fairly 
  well 
  with 
  Ashmead's 
  description 
  of 
  elongatus, 
  

   except 
  for 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  false 
  basal 
  and 
  median 
  veins 
  ; 
  the 
  

   raised 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  distinctive 
  

   character. 
  The 
  species 
  are 
  more 
  robust 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  

   Macroteleia. 
  In 
  violacevs 
  and 
  atrellus, 
  the 
  raised 
  area 
  on 
  

   the 
  median 
  segment 
  is 
  not 
  well 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  post- 
  

   scutellum, 
  and 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  easy 
  to 
  take 
  them 
  for 
  species 
  of 
  

   Chromoteleia. 
  The 
  Australian 
  species 
  described 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  

   the 
  genus 
  Cacellus 
  may 
  also 
  belong 
  here, 
  but 
  this 
  point 
  I 
  

   hope 
  to 
  clear 
  up 
  later.
