HYMENOPTERA 625 



posterior femora also dark. Head well rounded in front and emarglnate behind, the 

 eyes pubescent, not nearly attaining the mandibles. Scape of antennae long, cylindrical, 

 pedicel small, nearly equal to the first funicle joint, which is longer than the second, the 

 latter about as long as its greatest width, club with six joints, transverse except the 

 apical one, the basal one pale ; mandibles bidentate. 



Head and thorax quite dull, with dense, excessively minute sculpture, propodeum 

 excavated and carinated on each side of the excavation. Front wings blackish smoky, 

 with two transverse white bands, one considerably before and the other just beyond the 

 marginal vein, the area between these pale bands is the darkest part of the wing. 

 The wings are very narrow (petiolate) on less than the basal half marginal vein short, 

 thickish, the stigmal knobbed at the tip, the postmarginal difficult to see, but longer 

 than the stigmal. In some aspects a basal cell can be traced, but the nervures are very 

 faint. Parapsides of the mesonotum evident. Basal abdominal segment longer than 

 wide, its sides subparallel, the large suberect, shagreened basal process, attaining the 

 postscutellum ; second segment elongate narrow at base, longer than the third, longi- 

 tudinally striate. Third segment, wider than long, much longer than fourth, smooth, 

 polished and impunctate, sixth only half the width of the base of the fifth, about as 

 long as this and the fourth together, pointed at apex. Female: length 2-25 mm. 

 Remarkable for the petiolate wings. 



Hab. Oahu, Honolulu ; certainly introduced. 



(2) Caloteleia exit I, sp. nov. 



Black, the mandibles and scape of the antennae, except more or less of the tips of 

 each of these, testaceous or ferruginous, pedicel also more or less pale, legs testaceous. 



Head and thorax very densely and finely sculptured, dull, the mesonotal parapsides 

 distinct. Pedicel of antennae about as long as the first funicle joint which is longer 

 than either of the three following short joints, club six-jointed. Wings hyaline faintly 

 clouded, neuration dark, basal cell faintly indicated, postmarginal vein longer than 

 stigmal. Propodeum concave and carinate on each side. First abdominal segment 

 dull, shagreened, the process, fitting the propodeal concavity, smoother, the extreme 

 apex of the segment smooth ; second segment crenate at base and with some delicate 

 striae reaching to about the middle of the length of the segment on its disc, otherwise 

 smooth and shining, like the third, to which it is about equal in length, or rather longer; 

 apical segment very narrow subtriangular, longer than the preceding. Female : length 

 2"5 mm. 



Hab. Honolulu; no doubt introduced.
