Mr. R. C. L. Perkins on Hawaiian Ophioninae. 525 



(Face below the antennae nearly wholly ochreous; 

 scutellum black between the carinae; propodeum 

 above black, yellow at the base laterally; abdomen 

 black or dark fuscous with a mediodorsal pale line 

 extending back from the second segment ; discocubital 

 cell with one large subtriangular chitinous spot, not 

 drawn out or produced apically; allied to nigro- 

 lineatus.) E. variegatus, Ashm. 



15. (14) Legs and mesonotum not coloured as above. 



16. (17) Spot of discocubital cell large, the glabrous area above it 



unusually small, not much larger than this spot, which 

 underlies the whole of the apical portion of the glabrous 

 area ($). 



(Thorax mostly black, the scutellum convex, rugulose- 

 punctate like some large examples of dimidiatus, and 

 shining between the punctures ; carina of propodeum 

 strong, the latter being notably smoother in front than 

 behind, the sculpture being much finer; two basal 

 abdominal segments black or dark, the rest brownish- 

 ferruginous.) E. tmimeae, Ashm. 



17. (16) Discocubital cell without the above characters. 



18. (25) Scutellum behind the transverse impression notably trans- 



versely convex, sometimes more or less shining, the 

 puncturation sometimes close, and rather deep and dis- 

 tinct, sometimes very fine, feeble or remote. In most 

 species the propodeum in front is conspicuously smoother 

 than the posterior portion and often more or less shining. 



19. (20) A black species with dark legs, the whole face beneath the 



antennae dark, except for an indistinct paler line along 

 the eye-margins, the labrum piceous ; propodeum with a 

 very strong transverse carina, much smoother in front 

 of this than behind, the anterior area with somewhat 

 shining surface under a strong lens; discocubital cell 

 with a distinct dark chitinous spot ; $ only known. 



(Scutellum rather strongly and distinctly punctured, 

 the spaces between the punctures somewhat shining; 

 face very wide, the eyes being strongly rounded out- 

 wardly; 2nd dorsal segment unusually strongly and 

 densely punctured compared with allied species. 



E. funereus, sp. nov. 



20. (19) Species sometimes largely ferruginous or with the face 



beneath the antennae of this colour; if black or dark 



insects, the labrum is conspicuously pale and the whitish 



orbital lines are distinct down to the cheeks.
