Abstract
A new xiphydriid woodwasp, Hyperxiphia ogasawara Shinohara, n. sp., is described and illustrated from the male specimens from Haha-jima Island, Ogasawara Islands. The new species is separated from the other congeners by its peculiar color pattern. This is the first distribution record of the family Xiphydriidae from the Ogasawara Islands and the second record of the Symphyta from the islands, after Orussus boninensis Yasumatsu, 1954 (Orussidae).
