666 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(ii) Polynema ciliata, sp. nov. 



Black, the two basal joints of the antennae, the pedicel of the abdomen, and 

 all the legs, pale yellow, the pulvillus of all the tarsi dark. 



Head smooth and shining, the pedicel of the antennae strongly compressed, 

 obconical, or ovate, as long or a little longer than the slender first joint of the funicle, 

 the latter about half the length of the very elongate second joint, the third rather 

 shorter than the second, the three following joints on their wide surface much wider 

 than the preceding joints, the two first of these being subequal, the last conspicuously 

 more elongate, the club just about equal to the three preceding joints together. The 

 club and funicle joints are blackish or smoky, the basal funicle joints sometimes showing 

 a yellowish tinge ; the scape and pedicel are almost entirely yellow, the upper edge 

 of the former and the tip of the latter being darkened. Mesonotum shining, hardly or 

 not visibly sculptured under a strong lens, the propodeum quite smooth and shining. 

 Abdomen smooth and polished, the ovipositor very slightly exserted. Front wings 

 hyaline basally to considerably beyond the marginal vein, the rest appearing darker, 

 with even clothing of black hairs, marginal vein short more or less pale, longest cilia as 

 long as the greatest width of the wing, or rather longer. Length $ hardly i mm. when 

 fully extended. 



Hab. Oahu ; 1500 ft. ; parasitic in the eggs of a small Delphacid. 



(12) Polynema jassidaruni, sp. nov. 



Black, the antennae black or fuscous in the male, the second joint is always 

 noticeably yellowish, and the scape and first funicle joint may be more or less obscurely 

 or sordidly pale. In the female the scape is dark or black, the pedicel and most of the 

 funicle joints yellow, the club and preceding funicle joint always dark. Legs and 

 abdominal pedicel yellow or brownish yellow, the femora and tibiae usually more or less 

 embrowned, the apical joint of the tarsi black. 



Antennae of the ^ considerably longer than the whole insect, the pedicel roundish 

 in lateral view, the funicle joints subequally elongate, the third about two and a half or 

 three times as long as wide. Female with the first funicle joint short, only about half 

 the length of the second, the latter slender and the longest of all, the club as long as 

 the three preceding joints, which are subequal and shorter than the third funicle joint. 

 Form and sculpture of the thorax as in the other species ; the abdomen smooth and 

 shining, with the ovipositor distinctly exserted. Wings with the marginal vein puncti- 

 form, dark brown or brownish yellow, variable in colour ; the longest cilia of the front 

 wings rather less than the greatest width of the wing. Length '65 — 'Ss mm. 



Hab. Oahu near the coast ; parasitic on eggs of a Jassid.
