Leioproctus (Cladocerapis) Cockerell is revised and 2 new species, L. (C.) floccosus and L. (C.) ignicolor , are described. The following new synonyms are proposed: Paracolletes carinatifrons Cockerell, 1929 = Cladocerapis colmani Rayment, 1950 and Cladocerapis goraeensis Rayment, 1953; Paracolletes incanescens Cockerell, 1913 = Paracolletes punctiventris Cockerell, 1929 and Cladocerapis persooniae Rayment, 1950; Paracolletes speculiferus Cockerell, 1921 = Cladocerapis heronii Rayment, 1935, Cladocerapis woyensis Rayment, 1935 and Cladocerapis hackeri Rayment, 1950. A key to the 9 species now included in the subgenus is provided. Most species appear to be oligolectic on flowers of Persoonia spp. (Proteaceae).
