320 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



part coppery green ; middle pair coppery at extreme base. The antennae are inserted 

 a little below the level of the eyes and become but very slightly thinner towards the 

 apex, and are covered with a microscopic pile ; the 2nd joint is a little more than one- 

 half of the length of the third, which is nearly of the same length as the 4th ; the 5th 

 distinctly shorter ; 6th a little shorter than 5th ; the 7th, 8th, and 9th become gradually 

 shorter ; the apical a little shorter than the three preceding together, sharply pointed 

 at the apex, and apparently composed of only one joint. The antennae are nearly 

 as long as the abdomen. Head and thorax covered with longish black scattered hairs. 

 Pronotum and metanotum finely punctured. Abdomen shorter than the thorax, de- 

 pressed in the centre, narrowed at base and apex, the latter rounded. Ovipositor a 

 little longer than the posterior tarsi, testaceous, black at base and apex ; apex of middle 

 tibiae distinctly thickened ; middle metatarsus thickened, pilose beneath, shorter than 

 the succeeding joints together ; the long spur three-fourths of its length. Wings 

 hyaline ; cubitus indistinct, pallid yellow ; ulna fuscous ; costa scarcely pilose. Eyes 

 large, projecting and converging towards the top. (Cameron.)

This genus, which is parasitic in the eggs of various insects and particularly in 

 those belonging to the Rhynchota and Orthoptera, is represented by a single species, 

 as follows : 



(i) Anastatus koebelei, sp. nov. 



?. Length 3 mm. Metallic green or blue-green, the head in front, the middle 

 lobe of the mesonotum and the scutellum being usually gold-green ; head and thorax 

 shagreened, the metapleura smooth bottle-blue ; abdomen black or blue-black, with a 

 whitish or yellowish-white band near the base ; scape of antennae, the pronotum at 

 the sides, and the legs, except the front and middle coxae, dark rufous, sometimes more 

 or less fuscous ; flagellum black. The wings are fuscous, with the basal third and the 

 tips hyaline ; the fuscous part of the wings near the middle has two oblique whitish 

 spots, vis-a-vis, the first originating at the front margin about the middle of the 

 marginal vein, while the other is opposite this at the hind margin, both converging 

 and almost uniting at the middle of the wing.
