125. Sierola nubila n.sp. 
© dull shining black, trochanters, tibiz, tarsi and antennz fuscous. 
Head and thorax with a microscopically fine reticulate surface sculp- 
ture; fairly closely and finely punctate, and hairy. Head nearly as wide as 
long, widest across the eyes, narrowing behind and in front, width between 
the eyes greater by one-half than the length from eye to vertex; convex 
above, depressed in front, a little tumid beneath, the greatest depth behind 
the eye; vertical margin straight, temples rounded, eyes convex; antennz 
reaching the mesoscutum, pedicel and first funicular segment longer than 
wide, the following segments hardly so, antennal fossee deep; clypeus cari- 
nate, apically depressed and projecting slightly in front of the anterior mar- 
gin of the head, which is angulate, not transverse, declivous at the sides, the 
carina extending backward on the top of the head beyond the base of the 
antenne; mandibles curved, slender, truncate apically and toothed, base 
touching the eye above; gula and sides of the head flat, the former medially 
foreshortened, wider than long, narrowing behind, anterior margin straight, 
posterior margin incised, median groove nearly effaced; abdomen ovate, api- 
cally acuminate, smooth and polished; wings subinfuscate, with a very faint 
fuscous pigmentation; length 2.1 mms. 
Described from one female (type) collected at Kilauea, Hawaii, 4000 ft. 
elevation, by W. M. Giffard, January 11, 19109.

126. Sierola epagogeana n.sp. 
2 dull shining black, the legs luteous, antenne yellowish brown, man- 
dibles brown outwardly. 
Thorax with a microscopically fine reticulate surface sculpture, very 
delicate on the scutellum and propodeum, close and shallow on the meso- 
scutum and pronotum, coarser on the head; coarsely, shallowly and fairly 
closely punctate on the head, the punctuation on the thorax much finer; 
clothed with silvery white hairs. Head nearly as wide as long, widest across 
the posterior end of the eyes, narrowing behind and in front, width between 
the eyes twice the length from eye to vertex; convex above, depressed in 
front, a little tumid beneath; vertical margin slightly convex, temples round- 
ed, eyes convex; antenne a little longer than the head, all the segments 
longer than wide, pedicel twice as long as wide, antennal fossze deep; clypeus 
carinate, apically depressed and projecting slightly in front of the anterior 
margin of the head, which is angulate, not transverse, declivous at the sides, 
the carina extending backward on the top of the head beyond the base of 
the antenne: mandibles rather slender, curved, outwardly somewhat flat- 
tened, truncate apically and toothed, base not reaching the eye; gula and 
sides of the head flatly convex, the former medially foreshortened, wider 
than long, anterior margin arcuately concave, posterior margin incised; pro- 
podeum short, posterior face flat; abdomen short ovate, apically acuminate, 
smooth and polished; wings hyaline; length 2 mms. 
Described from one female (type) from Kaumuohona Trail, Oahu,
