furrow with three longitudinal carinae : sides of pronotuin rugulose with 

 a longitudinal carina near the middle reaching to the front and liind 

 margins ; mesopleura and mesosternum margined in front, a deep smooth 

 furrow on either side separating the sternum from the pleura, the 

 vertical furrow hroad and rugose mesopleura tessellate granulate 

 above, smooth below and shining as is the sternum, middle line 

 of mesosternum crenulate ; prescutellar sulcus not deeply impressed, 

 divided by about five raised longitudinal lines; propodeum with two 

 well defined lateral areas touching in front and each bounded by a 

 raised consute line, the rugose petiolar area therefore narrowed. 



Abdomen slightly longer than head and thorax combined, widest 

 across the fourth segment, the ovipositor about two-thirds as long ; 

 pedicel about as long as its apical width and longitudinally, coarsely 

 rugoso-striate ; second tergite short, transverse and closely fused with 

 the third, its apical margin broadly raised and polished, its broad mar- 

 gin more narrov/ly raised and smooth, between is a transverse row of 

 longitudinal sulci and coarse striae ; third and fourth tergites each with 

 a transverse row of crenulate sulci at the basal margin, the striae 

 separating the sulci radiating obliquely outward especially towards the 

 sides of the disk and gradually becoming obliterated before reaching 

 the apical margin, which is smooth, the striae sometimes branching or 

 more often with secondary finer striae in the interstices but these gen- 

 erally do not reach quite to the basal margin ; fifth tergite similar to 

 the preceding two but the striae are wholly longitudinal and parallel ; 

 second to fifth tergites moreover become rugoso-striate on the vertical 

 sides and slightly more finely sculptured here than on the disk; sixth ter- 

 gite minutely tessellate at base and finely, transversely lineolate at apex; 

 last two tergites mostly concealed beneath the sixth and apparently 

 wholly smooth. 



Length, 3.6; wing, 2.8; ovipositor i.i mm. 



Male : Similar to the female, but the abdomen is much slenderer, 

 the second tergite no shorter than the following segments ; each of the 

 first five tergites, including the pedicel, with coarse striae reaching nearly 

 to the apex of the segments, the interstices rugose with fine cross 

 lines; antennae with about 27 to 29 joints. 



Length, 2.6; wing, 2.3 mm. 



Described from 10 females, 11 males reared from larvae 

 of Neoclytarhis ciipliorhidp from Ewa Coral Plain, Oaliii, 

 Jmie, 1910 (Bridwell), and 12 females, 4 males collected in 

 Honolnln, on Mt. Tantalus, and in Palolo, Nin, Waihipe, 

 Knlionon and Waianae Valleys, Oahn (Giffard, Swezey and 

 Timberlake), the earliest specimen having been taken in ]^in, 

 Feb. ], 1911 (Swezey).
