Notes on a Peregrine Bethylid. 



BY J. C. BKI DWELL. 



Additional species of immigrant Eethylidae are constantly 

 appearing in the Hawaiian Islands. The present paper de- 

 scribes and gives a sununary of our knowledge of the distri- 

 bution of a recently discovered species of Epyris, the first au- 

 thentic species of the genus taken here. Ashmead (Fauna Ha- 

 waiiensis I, p. 286, 1901) described an Epyris Immaiiensis, 

 but in revising the genera of the family the Abbe Kieffer 

 has referred the species to his newly established genus Ilolepij- 

 ris (Ann. Soc. Scient. de Bruxelles 29:111, 1905). 



The first adult of this new species was taken by ^Iv. 

 S\vez(>y on a sugar cane leaf in the Ex])eriment Station 

 grounds of the II. S. P. A. in Honolulu on October 27, 1915, 

 and another (»n the window of his lahoi-atorv there on Xov. 12
