Head dull, rough with shallow punctures and surface sculpture, obscure coppery 

 metallic. Facial impression not very deep, very dull, densely shagreened, with greenish 

 tint in the antennal scrobes, its upper edge not distinctly margined, faint traces of a 

 median carina, which is probably not a constant character. Eyes sparsely and incon- 

 spicuously hairy ; scape of antennae clear yellowish at the base, three basal funicle 

 joints all quite strongly elongate. Palpi pale. Mesonotum dull, roughly shagreened, 

 copper-coloured, clothed with white hairs, mesopleura coppery, except the usual dull 

 median area. Front and hind coxae dark and metallic, rest of legs yellow or brownish 

 yellow, hind femora outwardly rather browner and with metallic reflection. Abdomen 

 above metallic, most conspicuously so at base, the pleura nearly uniform coppery and 

 shining in some aspects. Ovipositor sordid yellowish brown, black at base, and nearly 

 white close to the tip, hardly as long as the hind tarsi. %. Length 4 mm. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kau ?. The locality of this species is a little uncertain and 

 possibly it may be from Oahu.
