and scarcely punctate. Antennae with the first flagellar joint nearly 

 as long as the second and third together, the latter subequal, twice 

 as long as thick; following decreasing in length, becoming quadrate 

 near the middle of the flagellum. Mesonotum punctate, confluently 

 mediall3^, but sparsely on the sides; parapsidal furrows impressed 

 anteriorly. Scutellum strongly convex, nearly truncate behind, 

 coarsely sparsely punctate and clothed with brownish hair as is also 

 the propodeum. Propodeum coarsely densely punctate in front and 

 at the sides, but with a median smooth stripe anteriorly and a large, 

 oval, smooth area behind. Propleura smooth, except for a few punc- 

 tures near the upper edge; mesopleura sparsely punctate, with a 

 densely punctate space near the tegula and a large smooth area above 

 and behind; with a vertical grooved Hue extending from the sternum 

 almost to the upper margin opposite the middle of the tegula; sides 

 of propodeum scarcely punctate; spiracle large, oval; metapleura 

 smooth and shining. Abdomen coarsely punctate, more deeply 

 and closely so on the second to fifth segments, except along apical 

 margin ; first segment with two strong convergent carinae that almost 

 meet to form a triangular area at the base of the segment; second to 

 fifth each with a basal and subapical transverse constriction, the latter 

 curving forward medially; apical segments without distinct constric- 

 tions. Venter white. Ovipositor nearly as long as the abdomen, its 

 sheaths very strongly hairy. Legs moderately stout; tarsal claws with 

 a large, subacute lobe at the base. Stigma very narrow, submedian 

 cell slightly shorter than the median ; areolet large, obliquely triangu- 

 lar, subpetiolate above, receiving the recurrent nervure just before 

 apex ; transverse discoidal vein in hind wing broken at its lower fifth. 

 This species will run to either E. callipiera Sauss. or E. pseudoptera 

 Mori, in Morley's key to the species of Hemipimpla (including Eryth- 

 ropimpla) from both of which it is abundantly distinct.

Seven females and ten males from Tulagi; one male from Rere. 

 The females vary in size from 13 to 18 mm., and the males from 8-16 

 mm. The antennae are blackened on the apical third, especially in 

 the female, but otherwise the specimens agree closely with Cameron's 

 description.
