white pubescence. Abdomen with the basal segment narrowly petiolate from the base to 

 the apex, this segment being much thinner than the others ; all the segments shining, 

 impunctate. Legs elongate, bearing a microscopic pile ; the long spur of the hind 

 tibiae reaching beyond the middle of the metatarsus. Wings: radial cellule wide, 

 slightly angled where the transverse cubital nervures are received ; the apical abscissa 

 oblique, somewhat curved towards the apex ; the second cubital cellule quadrate, much 

 shorter than the third ; the first and second transverse cubital nervures oblique, straight ; 

 the first recurrent nervure is received in the middle, the cubital nervure being angled 

 there, the third in the basal fourth.

Clypeus convex, broader than long, the sides obliquely truncated, the centre almost 

 transverse and with a distinct margin. Eyes reaching to near the base of the mandibles ; 

 curved towards the top, where they approach nearer to each other than they do at the 

 bottom. Hinder ocelli separated by about half the distance they are from the eyes. 

 Antennae long, tapering towards the apex, filiform, involute; the third joint nearly 

 twice the length of the first and distinctly longer than the, fourth. Pronotum with the 

 sides convexly rounded; the hinder border slightly and broadly curved; the base with 

 a rounded slope towards the head; in length nearly as long as the head. Median 

 segment with a rounded slope, the surface granular, a shallow furrow down the centre. 

 Abdomen shining, hardly aciculate at the base, distinctly so towards the apex ; apical 

 segment densely covered with bright ferruginous, depressed, bristly hair ; the second to 

 the fifth segments with a short golden pile at the apex. Wings : second cubital cellule 

 at the bottom a little shorter than the third at the top, but considerably shorter than the 

 third at the bottom, the nervures roundly curved ; the first recurrent nervure is received 

 in the apical fourth of the cellule, the second before the middle. The tibiae serrate, the 

 spines moderate; the long spur not reaching the middle of the metatarsus. Head
