1922] Brues — Parasitic Hymenoptera from Fiji 13 



fcenus, giving a translation of Westwoods original description 

 which did not enable him to place the species generically. 



The type and only species so far referred to Hemifoenus is 

 from Australia. No specimens are available for comparison, but 

 from Kieffer's comprehensive description^ it is evident that the 

 Fijian species differs in several respects from his H. brevithorax. 

 The eyes are pubescent, not bare and the posterior femora are 

 but slightly swollen, scarcely "keulenformig" as in H. brevi- 

 thorax. Unfortunately all the known examples are males and the ■ 

 type species is known in the opposite sex only, which might 

 account for these rather pronounced differences. Turner's type 

 is also a male although both sexes of darwinii are known.

Two males and two females from Lasema, Fiji (W. M. Mann). 

 Both females and one male show a distinct, although very short, 

 median keel on the face just. below the antennse and the ab- 

 dominal petiole in all is distinctly longer than the distance from 

 its base to the base of the propodeum. The Fijian examples 

 therefore approach the Australian E. angulata Schlett. which I 

 am inclined to believe is not a distinct species.
