654 FAUX A HAWAIIEXSIS 



are black or pitchy black, but the tibiae brightly yellow. The pedicel and the elongate 

 funidar joints are all subequal and the club is longer than the two preceding joints, 

 the antennal joints not differing much in their proportional length from those ot 

 A. nigricans. 



\\'hat I take to be the male of this species has the antennae longer, and set with 

 longish hairs, the thorax duller and more distinctly punctate, the pedicel shorter than 

 the first funicle joint, the club about as long as the two preceding joints together. It is 

 of a less black colour, more inclining to pitchy, especially at the sides of the thorax, and 

 the legs are for the most part infuscate. or dirt)- yellow. The species appears to be 

 rather larger than A. nigi^ans. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kilauea. 



(5) Anagynis laeviceps, sp. nov. 



Ver\" similar to A. fratemus and A. nigricans. The head in front is nearly 

 smooth and the remote punctures are extremely faint : the mesonotum is very finely, 

 evenly punctured, but not closely, the scutellum faintly and a good deal more sparsely. 

 The antennae are slender with elongate funicle joints, the scape widened apically, but 

 without a conspicuous dilatation, the proportional length of the funicle joints and 

 pedicel much as in the above species, or subequal. Wings dusky h\-aline, legs black or 

 dark pitchy, hind tibiae with a paler spot at the base, and darker than the tarsi. 

 Length i-5 mm. Female. 



In the specimen described the sheath of the ovipositor is suberect or bent back- 

 wards, and in side view appears as a pointed blade-like process. Probably it is usually 

 closed down on the h\-popygium. 



Hab, Oahu : near Honolulu, 2000 ft. 



(6) Anag^rns tantaUus, sp. nov. 



Black, the posterior part of the thorax and the abdomen above within the concavit)- 

 obscure or pitchy brown. Antennae black, the pedicel reddish at the apex. Legs for 

 the most part yellow, the hind coxae dark, the hind femora infuscate especially on their 

 outer surface. Wings lightly infuscate or yellowish-tinged. \'er)- similar to the several 

 preceding species. 



Front ot the head above the antennae evenly and distinctly punctured, dull : scape 

 ot antennae rounded on the lower side so as to be slightly thickened or dilated, pedicel 

 obconical, rather longer than the first funicle joint, which is subelongate, as are the 

 following and subequal. Mesonotum rather more finely punctured than the head. 

 the scutellum still more finely. Abdomen distincdy longer than the head and thorax 

 together. Length about 2 mm. Female. 



Hab. Oahu ; mount Tantalus.
