 or golden green, facial impression purple-black, smooth or nearly so at least in some 

 aspects and with a median carina ; palpi dark, eyes bare or nearly so, antennae of the

 subinfuscate above, the front femora without metallic tint posteriorly, facial impression 

 less smooth and with fine surface sculpture. 



Hab. Molokai, 3000 ft. ; var. dubius Oahu, 1500 ft. I have seen only a damaged 

 specimen of the latter, which has lost its ovipositor ; it is probably a distinct species. 



(24) Eupelinus chloropits, sp. nov. 



Head above green and usually with some golden reflections, more or less shining

 shagreened, but still appearing smooth and shining when viewed from the apex, usually

 very few hairs. Mesonotum metallic green, densely shagreened, the front lobe more 

 golden and the scapulae with coppery red or fiery reflections, conspicuously clothed with
