HYMENOPTERA PARASITICA ^xi 



The head is finely shagreened, the cheeks with a few sparse punctures, the eyes 

 rather strongly converging above so that the vertex is only half as wide as the face 

 anteriorly. Antennae slightly thickened toward apex, the scape long, aeneous-black, 

 the flagellum opaque, brown-black, clothed with a fine, short pubescence, the first 

 three joints of the flagellum rather long, subequal, the following gradually shortening 

 so that the joint before the ovate club is quadrate or nearly, about half the length of 

 the first. The abdomen is pointed ovate, one-third longer than the head and thorax 

 united, depressed above, strongly carinate beneath, the hypopygium terminating in a 

 spined process the length of the longer spur of the hind tibiae ; the whole surface is 

 delicately reticulated from microscopic lines. 



Hab. Maui : Lahaina. One a specimen taken in January. 



(2) Eupcinms konae, sp. nov. 



%. Length 5 to 6 mm. ; ovipositor as long as or a little longer than the abdomen 

 and angularly broken a little before the basal third. Metallic green, shagreened ; 

 mandibles piceous, with a rufous tinge medially ; all trochanters, the middle legs, the 

 apices of anterior and hind femora and tibiae, as well as the base of their tibiae and 

 the tarsi, brownish-yellow, the tibial spurs and basis of middle and hind tarsi whitish, 

 the coxae and rest of legs metallic ; wings hyaline, the veins brown. 



The head is transverse, as seen from in front a little wider than long, the eyes 

 convergent above, the verte.x being only two-thirds as wide as the width of the face 

 anteriorly. Antennae metallic, the scape green, half as long as the flagellum, the 

 latter aeneous black, clothed with a black pubescence, and very slightly and gradually 

 thickened towards apex, the joints similar to those in E. niger except that the joint 

 before the club is hardly so long as wide. The abdomen is elongate, pointed at apex, 

 keeled beneath, delicately and microscopically reticulated, but with the spined process 

 of the hypopygium much shorter than in the previous species. 



A single specimen, doubtless only a variety which may be named rnfipes, has 

 all the legs except the anterior and middle coxae, brownish-yellow. 



Hab. Hawaii : Kilauea, in August, and Kona (4000 feet), in August. Described 

 from 5 $ specimens. 



(3) Eupelnuts splendissinms, sp. nov. 



?. Length 3 '5 mm. ; ovipositor very short, shorter than the hind tarsi. Bright 

 emerald green, finely shagreened, the abdomen blue-green, the middle legs, all tro- 

 chanters, apices of the anterior and hind femora (the latter broadly), and base and 

 apices of their tibiae, as well as tarsi, except the apical joints, pale brownish-yellow ;
