286 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(6) Scleroderma bremventre, sp. no v. 



%. Length i "6 mm. Head, thorax and first abdominal segment pale castaneous ; 

 abdomen piceous black, the apices of dorsal segments and the apical ventral segments 

 yellowish; scape, pedicel, trochanters, and tarsi, yellowish, the flagellum and rest of legs 

 brown. 



The head is oblong as in 5". iiigriventre, but the abdomen is much shorter, being 

 distinctly shorter than the oblong head and the thorax united, and thus differing from 

 all the other species described here. The joints of the flagellum, except the last, are all 

 short, transverse, the first two or three being the smallest and narrowest joints ; the last 

 joint is oblong and as long as the penultimate and antepenultimate joints united.

(i) Epyris /lawaiiensis, sp. nov. 



?. Length 3-5 mm. Black ; the antennae, except the last 6 or 7 joints which are 

 dusky, the mandibles, the tegulae, and the legs, ferruginous, the coxae basally and the 

 hind coxae posteriorly, black ; dorsal abdominal segments i and 2 testaceous ; wings 

 hyaline with a dusky discoidal blotch toward apex. 



The head is a little longer than wide, very finely, closely punctate. The thorax 

 above is feebly coriaceous, the pronotum being long trapezoidal, longer than wide at 

 base ; the mesonotum is fully three times as wide as long, with a grooved line on each 

 side near the tegulae ; the scutellum has a grooved furrow across the base ; while the 

 metathorax is about twice as long as wide, rather abruptly, but somewhat obliquely, 

 truncated at apex, the dorsum with several elevated longitudinal lines. The abdomen 

 is long ovate, shining black, about as long as the head and thorax united. 



Described from a single specimen, without number, and it is, therefore, impossible 

 to tell upon which Island it was captured. 



Hab. Hawaiian Islands. (Locality and date of capture not stated.)

This genus was originally characterized from specimens from the Hawaiian Islands 

 and is apparently endemic, although the genus also occurs in New Zealand. It is 

 evidently the prototype from which sprang the genus Gojiiozus, common to Europe and 

 North America.
