conical and strongly chitinous teeth which do not seem to be 
segregated in distinct divisions. Ventral pores present in a circ- 
ular area on sternites of anterior region but absent from middle 
and posterior regions, last ventral plate wide. Coxal gland one 
on each side, this homogeneous, and, while large, was evident in 
the type only after clearing of the specimen. Anal legs long, with 
well developed claws, with sparse stiff hairs over surface in 
general and numerous finer and shorter ones on ventral surface of 
proximal joints in particular, as usual, e. g. in species of Nyctun- 
guis. Palpus of second maxilla rather short and stout; claw short, 
excavated, pectinate along the edge to and around the end, the 
setae long. Number of pairs of legs, in female, fifty-five. Length, 
about 18 mm. 
PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS. i 
By Charles T. Brues. 
Several years ago when Dr. Wm. M. Mann visited the South 
Seas, he collected extensively in the British Solomons and in 
Fiji where he obtained a small number of Parasitic Hymenoptera. 
These he very kindly gave me for study and those from the 
Solomons have already been dealt with. 2 Meanwhile Turner has 
published a list and descriptions of some new Hymenoptera from 
Fiji in which he enumerates 53 species. 
Of Mann’s material there remains a smaller, but perhaps even 
more interesting series from Fiji and many of these are treated 
in the present paper. I have also included one particularly 
curious genus contained in a small lot of Serphoidea from Fiji 
sent me by Mr. F. Muir who collected it when he visited these 
islands in 1905. 
As will appear evident from the context, these groups at least 
show a strong Australian element in the fauna, but suggest the 
probable occurrence of a considerable number of peculiar endemic 
genera. 3
