Tt/pg.— M. C.Z. 9,064. Solomons: Fulakora. W.M.Mann. 

 9 . Length 22 mm. Light reddish brown; abdomen piceous 

 be^-ond the second segment; front and middle legs beyond the coxae, 

 hind trochanters, knees, tibiae, and tarsi, and mandibles except tips 

 dull yellow; flagellum of antennae black; sides of face and front, and 

 posterior orbits pale yellow; wmgs hyaline, with the venation piceous, 

 almost black. Face very finely and sparsely punctate, cl;v'peus smooth 

 and polished; malar space a little shorter than the thickness of the 

 third antennal joint. Mesonotum not distinctly punctate. Scutel- 

 lum carinate laterally, the carinae straight, twice as far apart at base 

 of scutellum as at apex; apical half coarsely longitudinally striate. 

 Propodeum smooth and shining before the carina, behind this evenly 

 rugose-reticulate, the reticulations rather distinctly oblique. Meso- 

 pleura longitudinally finely striate below, indistinctly so above; 

 metapleura coarsely striate below, finely so above. Posterior tibiae 

 with a few dark bristles externally in addition to the yellow pubescence. 

 Median cell as long as the submedian; chitinous spot in cubito-dis- 

 coidal cell prolonged apically as a curved line almost to the radius; 

 first section of radius thickened on the basal two thirds; base of 

 third discoidal cell half as long as the apex of the second discoidal; 

 discoidal ^"ein in hind wing broken at lower third. 



Type from Fulakara, British Solomon Islands, Wm. M. Mann. 



This species is very similar in color to E. nigrinervis Cameron from 

 New Britain, but differs at once in the length of the submedian cell 

 and longitudinally striate scutellum.

cf. Length 22 mm. Light yellow-brown, the antemiae fuscous 

 toward tips; inner orbits above pale yellow. Wings hyaline, veins 

 fuscous. Face finely closely punctate, clypeus more sparsely so, 

 especially below. Malar space slightly longer than the diameter of 

 the first flagellar joint. Mesonotum closely, very finely punctate. 

 Scutellum with straight lateral carinae, its surface finely punctate, 

 without striae, rather broad, twice as wide in front as at apex. Pro- 

 podeum smooth and impunctate before the carina, coarsely reticulate
