Ill my previous papers on the Hynienoptcrous fauna of the Philip- 

 pine Islands, I find tliat I overlooked many species recorded from the 

 archipelago. Below, therefore, I give a list of these omissions and 

 follow with descriptions of two new genera and twenty -eight new 

 species received recently from Father Robert Brown, S. J., of the 

 Philippine Weather Bureau, Manila, Prof. C-harles S. Banks, of the 

 (iovernment Lahoi-atories, Manila, and Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. A.
