long as the stigmal, the latter rather short and capitate at apex, the 
pestmarginal about one-half as long as the stigmal; setae of the dise 
arranged nearly as in Hypergonatopus hawatiensis, except that there is 
a short, bare area extending entirely across the dise beneath the apical 
part of the submarginal vein. 
Frontovertex with microscopic, shallow, thimble-like puncturation and 
with a row of fine pin-punctures at the margin of the eyes; face and 
lower part of the cheeks very finely and delicately reticulate, the cheeks 
becoming smocth and polished next to the eyes; mesoscutum microscopi- 
cally reticulate and moderately shiny; the seutellum medially at base 
with a similar sculpture, which gradually becomes effaced towards the 
sides and apex, the dise also with a few scattered minute pin-punctures ; 
mesopleura with very fine longitudinal lineolations on the anterior and 
ventral part, becoming smooth and polished posteriorly; abdomen entirely 
smooth and polished. 
Pubescence, sparse, dark-colored and inconspicuous, the eyes glabrous, 
the mesoseutum and dise of scutellum with very fine scattered setae; the 
abdomen with a few very fine setae at the sides and apex. 
Head and body shining, bluish black with a blue or purplish luster, 
the cheeks next to the eyes, the mesopleura, propodeum and abdomen 
with a brilliant purple luster; face metallic greenish, the frontovertex 
and mesoseutum with a slight greenish luster in some aspects, but bluish 
in others; antennae and legs dark fuscous or blackish, the front and 
hind tarsi, apex of middle femora and tibiae brownish, the middle tarsi,

except the apical joint and the tibial spur, brownish yellow. Wings with 
a dark brown cloud except on the apical fourth, the cloud broken by 
three clear hyaline spots, a large triangular spot beneath the submarginal 
vein, an acutely angular spot suspended from the costal margin at apex 
of the stigmal vein, and a somewhat quadrate spot opposite which is 
narrowly extended basad on its inner side; the space between these two 
clear areas about as wide as one-third of the dise and less deeply pig- 
mented, as is also the case with the middle portion of the clouded area 
just distad.
