found to be divided by a median unchitinized area into two lobes, tlic 

 right lobe overlapping the left ; the cerci short and thick, inserted on 

 ■either side of the truncate apex. Eighth ventrite similar in sliape to the 

 seventh tergite but not more than one-half as large; stipites (valvulae) 

 of the genitalia black, covered externally with a fine, black pubescence, 

 not very wide at base, somewhat over twice as long as the basal width, 

 and tapering towards the rounded apex ; sagittae piceous, united to form 

 a ligulate organ- about three times as long as wide, and somewhat 

 curved downward at the acute apex. Wings and legs as in female, but 

 the tarsi slightly shorter, the apical joint not quite so elongate, tlie claws 

 rather larger and more curved at apex. 



Sculpture and impressions very nearly the same throughout as in the 

 iemale, but the spiracular protuberance at t'le basal corners of the ter- 

 gites smaller, the basal segment smoothish vietween the carinae on the 

 Taasal third, becoming punctate above between the apices of the carinae ; 

 and a longitudinal, median impression present on the second tergite 

 between the gastrocoeli. Pubescence similar throughout to that of female, 

 "but considerably longer on the face and somewhat longer on the propo- 

 <leuni. 



Length : 6.75 to 9 mm.

This species does not occnr on Oahu apparently, as it can 

 liardly be the undetermined "Pimpla" species mentioned by 

 Perkins (Fauna Hawaiiensis, 2, part G, 1910, p. (t76), since 

 undei' any ordinary circumstances it would not l)e called 

 ■^ 'commonplace".
