abdomen metallic blue witb a moderatel}- strong luster, the sunken in 

 area of dorsum more blackish, the ovipositor sheaths black, the 

 spicula yellow. Antennae black, the funicle and the club somewhat 

 more brownish, the sixth funicle joint yellow, the club slightly yel- • 

 lowish towards the apex. Front legs brown, with the base of the femora 

 and the tarsi yellowish, the apical half of the tibiae yellow ; middle 

 and hind legs black, with the apical half of the middle tibia, apex of 

 liind tibiae and both pair of tarsi, except apex of the last joint, yellow. 

 Fore-wings marked with fuscous rays from a longitudinal band aris- 

 ing from the integumentary pigment and from the dark ciliation as fol- 

 lows : A large quadrate fuscous area beneath the venation from the 

 break in the submarginal to the apex of the stigmal vein enclosing a 

 small hyaline spot between the speculum and the apical part of the 

 submarginal vein ; the first two rays on the anterior margin produced 

 by this hyaline spot and located respectively at the break in the sub- 

 marginal, and beneath the marginal and stigmal veins ; the quadrate 

 area further enclosing a central hyaline spot beneath and beyond the 

 speculum, but the posterior margin of the disk remaining dark so that 

 the rays on the margin at this point are not differentiated ; the fuscous 

 area continued beyond the venation as a broad median longitudinal 

 1)and constricted before the apex and then triangularly enlarged at 

 apex ; the band sending out two rays above, the third and fourth on 

 the anterior margin, one just before the constriction, the other at the 

 apex and continuous with the triangular enlargement ; the band further 

 emitting one ray, which is narrowed at its base, just before the con- 

 striction towards the posterior margin, but the apical ray on this margin 

 is not differentiated from the triangular enlargement of the band ; the 

 four rays on the anterior margin much darker than the rest of the 

 fuscous area or nearly black, the first one narrowest, the others in- 

 creasing gradually in width from the second to the fourth ; the first 

 pair of hyaline .spots beyond the venation quadrate, the one on the 

 anterior margin nearly square, the other a little longer than wide ; the 

 second or subapical pair of hyaline spots both wider than long; most 

 of the submarginal vein brownish yellow, its apical part and the stigmal 

 vein nearly hyaline, the marginal vein brown. Hind-wings entirely 

 hyaline. 



Described from 1 female (type) collected on the Manoa 

 (Miffs Trail, Tantalus, Oahn, Oct. 26, 1919 (W. M. Giffard). 

 This certainly must be an inimig-rant species but it is not 

 yet apparent from what part of the world it was derived, al- 

 though an Oriental origin is suspected.
