188 Mr. P. Cameron's descriptions of new

Hob. Oahu (No. 87). 



MORANILA, n. g. 



Antennae inserted immediately over the mouth ; 2nd 

 joint thin and very little longer than 3rd ; 3rd, 4th, and 

 5th subequal, produced at the apices above ; 6th a little 

 shorter, being broader than long ; club long, thick, 

 longer than the three preceding joints together, appa- 

 rently 2-jointed. Head broader than the thorax, broadest 

 above, concave in front, the opposite behind. Eyes oval, 

 situated at the sides above close to the top, and almost 

 projecting behind ; front ocellus placed a little way down, 

 the two lateral on the edge behind ; vertex without 

 sutures ; face projecting broadly between the antennae. 

 Pronotum broad, margined, narrower than the meso- 

 notum. Scutellum long, longer than broad, angled in 

 front at the sides, rounded behind, where it is much 

 wider than at the base. Petiole longer than broad, 

 thick ; 2nd abdominal segment depressed in the centre 

 above, much longer than all the others together ; apex 

 acute. The abdomen, with the petiole, is not much 

 shorter than the thorax. Posterior coxae and femora 

 large. At the base of the abdomen, at the side, is a tuft 

 of white hair. Wings with the ulna curved ; tibiae with 

 only one spur. 



This genus comes near to Eunotus, Walk. (Megapelte, 

 Forst.), but is sufficiently distinguished from it by the 

 longer petiole, curved ulna, and longer prothorax (which 

 is sharply separated from the mesothorax at the sides). 



Moranila testaceiceps, n. s. 



Head and abdomen smooth, shining, impunctate. 

 Thorax very finely punctured. Scutellum with a trans- 

 verse line close to its apical third, behind which line it 

 is smooth, shining, impunctate. Metanotum with scat- 

 tered punctures ; petiole finely and closely punctured. 

 Head, thorax, and legs covered with white hairs. Abdo- 

 men fulvous. Scape, head, and legs testaceous ; tarsi 

 white ; flagellum dull fuscous testaceous. Thorax green ;
