HYMENOP TERA 6 1 9 



(3) Telenonms paractias, sp. nov. 



Black, the scape of the antennae and legs clear testaceous, the tip of the scape and 

 of the tarsi infuscate, pedicel a little pallid, at least apically. Wings lighdy infuscate, 

 neuration rather pallid, the fringe of front wings moderately short. 



Head polished in front, on the vertex dull, densely and minutely punctured ; pedicel 

 of the antennae obconical, rather shorter than the slender and elongate third joint, fourth 

 rather similar to the third, subequal to it or slightly shorter, fifth much shorter than the 

 fourth and wider, sixth and following short, subquadrate, wider than the fifth, so as to 

 form a fairly distinct six-jointed club, the apical joint being smaller than the preceding 

 and pointed. Mesonotum finely punctured, sparsely pilose, lower posterior angles of 

 the propodeum prominent. Basal abdominal segment regularly longitudinally rugose, 

 the second with short regular wrinkles at the base, and forming the greater part of the 

 dorsal surface, much longer than its basal width, smooth and shinine. Leneth, 2 i mm. 



H.\B. Honolulu ; parasitic in eggs of Rhopalns hyalimis. 



(4) Telenonius adelphus, sp. nov. 



Extremely like T. paractias and only distinguishable so far as I can see by the 

 more widely darkened apex of the scape of the antennae, the more confusedly rugose 

 basal abdominal segment and chiefly by the antennal structure. Though the length of 

 the antennal joints is nearly similar in either species, in T. adelphus the club is only 

 5-jointed, the sixth joint of the antennae being not very different from the fifth, while 

 the seventh is much wider than the former. 



The male of this species is known to me, and in general resembles the female, but 

 the scape is dark pitchy except at the base and the hind and middle tibiae are more or 

 less darker, the former at least being somewhat infuscate above. Antennae filiform, 

 pubescent, 12 -jointed, the scape a good deal shorter than the elongate third joint, the 

 latter slightly shorter than the fourth, the fifth also shorter than the latter, the following 

 joints tending to decrease in length to the apical one, which is longer than the 

 preceding and pointed. 



Hab. Oahu, 1500 — 2000 ft. 



(5) Telcnornits vulcanus, sp. nov. 



Black, the tarsi brown or obscure, wings hyaline, iridescent, subinfuscate, clearer at 

 base. The head is not very much wider than the thorax, and both are sparsely clothed 

 with white hairs and are punctate. The sculpture of the mesonotum under high powers 

 of the microscope is seen to consist of .scattered punctures, and of very delicate reticulate 

 lines, which are not close enough to prevent the surface from being shining ; under
