6io FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Odynerus peles P . 



O. peles P., huj. op. i. p. 39. 



The puncturation of this species varies a good deal in intensity and I do not feel 

 sure that, even after the segregation of O. thersites described above, there are not more 

 than one species under the name of O. peles. Specimens taken in wet districts at 

 moderate elevations of two or three thousand feet and others found below the 1000 ft. 

 line are generally more strongly punctate than those taken at 4000 ft. and upwards. 



(2) Odynerus lipocharis, sp. nov. 



Black, the first abdominal segment inconspicuously or interruptedly margined with 

 yellow. Wings very darkly infuscate and with blue iridescence. Clypeus impressed at 

 apex and bidentate, but only slightly emarginate, closely punctate. Front very closely 

 rugosely punctate. Mesonotum coarsely and closely punctured, the interstices between 

 the coarse punctures shining and punctulate ; scutellum strongly punctured. Propodeum 

 rugose, the side-margins explanate. Basal abdominal segment strongly and closely 

 punctured, second segment very strongly tuberculately raised, highest point rather in 

 front of the middle of its length ; beneath with rather shallow, but distinct, depression, 

 the middle costae long. Male ; length 11 mm. 



Allied to O. konanus, hiloensis etc., and superficially unlike any other Kauai species, 

 as well as being quite distinct structurally. 



Hab. Kauai, near Lihue, at no great elevation above the sea. 



(3) Odynerus subegens, sp. nov. 



Very like Odynerus egens P., but readily distinguished by the puncturation of the 

 thorax, which, though very fine and feeble, is distinct. The apex of the clypeus is 

 not red. 



Hab. Hawaii, 4000 ft. 



The following species of Odynerus have been described by me since the publication 

 of Vol. I. pt. I of this work, in the Proc. Hawaii Ent. Soc, Vol. i. pp. 70 — 74 and in 

 the preceding tables, pp. 61 — 70.
