Caput nigrum, antice convexum, pro receptione scapi antennarum haud impressum, rugosum, 

 facie lateribusque ponc. oculos serieeis. Antennae vix suhtus medium ocjclorum insertae, longae (fere 

 longitudine totius corporis aequales), omnino nigrae, scapo brevi. Palpi lufei. Thorax ferruginetis, 

 mesosterno tantum in medio nigro, valde sedier, metathoracis lateribus areolatis, latcribus parteqtie 

 postiea (pro receptione peduncuU abdominalis canalietdata) serieeis. Metasternum minimum, apice 

 fisso. Petiolus abdominis piceus, oblique striatus. Abdomen parvum, covipressissimum, elongato-ovale, 

 articulo basali subtus in angulum producta, lateribus versus dorsum serieeis. Alae hyalinae venis 

 disfinctis, areola marginali subsemi-ovali, apice infero curvato nee angulato. Pedes longi, nigri; 

 tibiae et tarsi antici picei.^

, Black ; palpi, knees, anterior tibiae, and tarsi obscurely fuscous. Head and thorax coarsely 

 rugose ; petiole longitudinally rngose, smoother at the base ; meeopleura in front smooth, shining, 

 impunctate, behind coarsely reticulated; breast covered with large shallow punctures. Coxae 

 finely rugose, smooth at base. Posterior femora not much longer than thorax; tibiae and tarsi 

 armed with short thick bristles ; tarsi not much longer than tibiae, claws apparently simple. The 

 head, thorax and legs at the base are closely covered with a white velvety pubescence, which is 

 longest at the sides. Abdomen sraooth, shining, compressed, shortly pilose at the sidea. Antennae 

 longer than the body ; the apex of scape brownish. Wings hyaline ; cubital and discoidal cellnles, 

 the Upper of which is not at all so broad in proportion to the lower as it is in E. laevigata; the 

 transverse humeral nervure is interstitial. The mandibles have two »hört obtuse teeth besides 

 the large apical one. Length 7 mm. 



This species is apparently most nearly allied to E. tasmanica Westw., but the present 

 species has not the face longitudinally striated. — Hab. Oahu and Hawaii."
