Summary

Keith Salter was an entomologist who after ten years as Curator of the Macleay Museum became Lecturer in Zoology at the University of Sydney. His principal research interests lay with the taxonomy and morphology of the Hymenopterous family Thynnidae, but extended to the stone corals of the Great Barrier Reef. He made a number of collecting trips to the Australian alpine region, and, between 1948 and 1956, to the Reef. Salter was active in the Ecological Society of Australia, serving as President from 1961 to 1962.
