CHALCIDOIDEA 



ENCYRTIDAE 



Eclithrogonatopiis haz>.'aiiciisis sp. nov. 



Metallic green, the abdomen except at the base, the pleura 

 and propodeum purple. Front and middle tarsi, apical joints 

 of the hind tarsi and apex of middle tibiae yellow. Apex of 

 middle and sometimes of front femora and extreme base of their 

 tibiae also more or less pale. Antennae entirely dark. Front 

 wings blackish fuscous from near the base of the marginal vein 

 to the apex, the dark part including a large hyaline costal spot, 

 originating (on the basal side) at the apex of the post-marginal 

 vein and extending longitudinally nearly half the distance from 

 this vein to the tip of the wing, but transversely not reaching" 

 its middle ; opposite this on the dorsum is an elongate hyaline 

 area. At the extreme base the wing is again dark. A distinct 

 bare line runs obliquely from beneath the marginal vein in the 

 dark portion of the wing to become lost in an extensive bare 

 area in the hyaline portion. 



Head dull, with minute surface sculpture, and a single row 

 of shallow punctures on each side bordering the inner margin of 

 the eyes. Antennae with the second, third and fourth joints 

 small transverse, fifth and sixth distinctly larger and also trans- 

 verse, club nearly as long as the funicle. Mesonotum shining, 

 with excessively fine microscopic surface sculpture, and a few 

 feeble punctures, thinly clothed with pale hairs ; scutellum simi- 

 larly clothed, darker and duller than the mesonotum ; pleura 

 shining. Abdomen with the usual group of long setae on each 

 side towards the base, which is very shining. Length 1.5 mm. 



Allied to E. exitiosus of Australia, but very distinct. The 

 hairs on the eyes are very indistinct, if not altogether absent. 



Hab. Hawaiian islands, Oahu ; parasitic on Pseudogonatopiis 

 pcrkhisi.

 metallic, base and tip of abdomen dark, the former brightly metal-
