Head very dull, with dense fine puncturation, the third anten- 

 nal joint very long, nearly twice as long as the fourth, and three 

 times as long as the second. Pronotum shining, with some 

 sparse indefinite punctures; the propodeum dull, and coarsely 

 rugose over its whole surface, the anterior lateral angles dis- 

 tinct, not so rounded off as to be effaced. The propodeal rugo- 

 sity is transverse in front, then becomes more irregular and 

 somewhat longitudinal, while posteriorly it is again regularly 

 transverse. There is no erect pilosity, and the legs have only 

 a very short and inconspicuous pubescence. The abdomen is 

 smooth, shining and glabrous. Length 4.5 mm. 



This large and beautiful species is distinguished from any 

 other described by me by the very strong sculpture of the pro- 

 podeum. 



Ha'b: Suva, Fiji; bred from a cocoon collected by Koebele 

 on a tree, on which many examples of a Fulgorid, Vainia viti- 

 ciisis, were noticed. 



Haphgonatopiis. 



In Pt. I, page 39, line 10 from the top, for 'preceding' should 

 be read 'following.' The mouth-parts of Haplogonatopits are 

 similar to those of Paragonatopus, not Psciidogoiiatopits. The 

 above correction was overlooked, when a rearrangement of the 

 genera was made before publication. 



HapJogouatopus 7ificiisis, sp. nov. 



Black, but in parts, especially the thorax, dark brown, the 

 legs obscure yellowish brown; two basal joints of the antennae 

 and the third more or less at its base, yellow, the face and man- 

 dibles also yellowish, the teeth of the latter dark. 



Head very deeply concave, 'black a'bove, and with a very 

 dense minute puncturation or sculpture rendering the surface 

 dull. Antennae with the third joint less than twice as long as 

 the fourth, the apical one only obscurely pallid at the tip. Pro- 

 notum dark brown, smooth and shining, the transverse furrow 

 very obsolete; the mesonotum dull, rather paler than the pro- 

 notum, the propodeimi bare, transversely rug'ose in front and 

 posteriorly, and between these parts smooth and shining on 

 the dorsum, the anterior lateral angles effaced. Abdomen black 

 smooth and shining. Length 2^ mm.
