ophora inaequalis ( Fabriciiis). It does not seem to be nearly 

 so common here now, as it was when Perkins first found it. 



Apanteles sp. According to ^Mr. Gahan, onr banded-winged 

 Apanteles is entirely distinct from any known Xorth Amer- 

 ican species. The species was first taken in 1911 at Plonolnlu, 

 unless it is one of those mentioned by Perkins in 1910 without 

 name or description. Mr. Swezey has reared it from 

 Opogona. 



Opius sp. The small Op'ius that has been reared recently 

 by Messrs. Swezey, Bridwell, and the writer from the Lantana 

 Agromyza on Oahu was determined by Mr. Gahan as most 

 probably a new species close to nanus Provancher. 



Hormiopterus sp. This is another recent innnigrant which 

 has been taken in Honolulu, Palolo, Xiu, Kuliouou, and on 

 Tantalus by several collectors. The first specimens examined 

 by the writer were taken by Mr. Swezey in 1914. 



Pteromalidae. 



racliynenron siplwnoplwrae (Ashmead). This species is 

 readily recognized in the female sex by having three ring-joints 

 and only five funicle joints. Mr. A. A. Girault has recently 

 erected a new genus or subgenus, P ropacliyneuronla ,■ for this 

 species, but it is hardly worth recognition as the male sex does 

 not show the supposed generic character. He has also synony- 

 mized Pachyneuron m leans Howard and P. aphidivorum Ash- 

 mead with it, the latter incorrectly, as Mr. Gahan's notes on I 

 the types, taken when they M^ere in a better state of preserva- 

 tion than at present, show that aphidivorum has only two ring- 

 joints. 



This species is hyperparasitic in Aphidids, and with us 

 attacks both Ephedrus incompletus and Diaeretus chenopodia- 

 pliidis. It has been found at or near Honolulu, and at Wai- 

 luku, Maui, by Mr. Swezey.
