 second cubital cell cannot be said to be qnadrangiiiar, nor the 

 radial cell lanceolate; the recurrent is received bv the second 

 cultital cell and the subdiscoidal nervnre is interstitial. The 

 ovip(vsitor is much longer. 



In Szepligeti's tableij: it runs to Ah/sia, section (jonlarcha. 

 Pending a thorough revision of the genera of the Alysiinae I 

 have considered it as well to describe this species under Alysia. 



The type will be deposited in the South African Museum 

 at Capeto\ra. Paratypes in the collection of the Hawaiian 

 Board of Agriculture and Forestry aiul in the fliithor's col-

8. Aphaereta sarcophagae n. sp. 



9 (5 Very much like A. nuisccic Ashmead as represented in the 

 Hawaiian Islands, but with the prescutellar sulcus more profound, smooth 

 with a single median raised line at the bottom of the sulcus; the surface 

 of the propodeum below the transverse carinae usually less rugose than 

 in miiscae; sculpture of the first tergite exceedingly variable, but the seg- 

 ment seems to be always shorter, more triangular, the spiracles less 

 prominent and the sublateral carinae more convergent posteriorly, and 

 the second tergite has the sides more divergent behind. 



This species, so far as the material before me goes, averages con- 

 siderably larger than niuscac. with the number of antennal joints aver- 

 aging less. In both speies they vary from 19-23. The largest 9 is 

 about 3.5 mm., while the smallest is only al)out J.75 mm.
