parallel, continuous, somewhat widened behind, lateral furrows 
not continuous. Grooves of scutellum ovate, almost in contact. 
Median segment transverse, laterally and ‘posteriorly marginate, 
traversed in the middle by three parallel longitudinal carine, 
the outer ones of which scarcely reach beyond the middle; 
posterior surface vertical, very finely transversely striate, with a 
medial carina. Metapleura opaque, finely coriaceous. 
Wings subhyaline; pterostigma pointed distally, with a white 
dot in the proximal half; subcostal near to anterior margin; 
basal very oblique, arising in the proximal end of pterostigma; 
transversal as oblique as basal, incurved at end; radial two 
and a half times as long as basal. Tegulee, knees, tibie, and 
tarsi testaceous, tibize without spines; joints of fore tarsus not 
heart-shaped, somewhat longer than thick. Abdomen convex, 
smooth, shining, tapering conically behind. 
Length, 4 millimeters.

Male.—Black. Head rather cylindrical, smooth, shining, 
with fine, not very close punctures; eye bare, elongate, more 
than twice as long as occiput (that is, as its distance from 
posterior margin of head); posterior ocelli as far from each 
other as from posterior margin of head; cheek almost wanting; 
clypeus very small. Mandible yellow-red, narrow, distally with 
three or four black teeth, the lower tooth long, the two or three 
upper teeth small; palpi pale. Antenna yellow-red, except the 
proximal two joints; scape as long as third joint; second very 
small, thinner than the following ones; third scarcely longer 
than fourth, almost twice as long as thick; fifth to twelfth like 
the fourth; thirteenth longer; all without distinct pubescence. 
Pronotum transverse, broader behind than in front, unpunc- 
tured and scatteredly hairy like the mesonotum and the scutel- 
lum, longer by a half than mesonotum. Parapsidal furrows 
converging and much widened behind, separated from each 
other at the posterior end by only their breadth, anteriorly fine 
and not reaching anterior margin; lateral furrows not contin- 
uous. Grooves of scutellum circular, separated from each other 
by their diameter. Median segment as long as broad, bordered 
laterally by a broad groove and posteriorly by a carina, cross- 
wrinkled, with three longitudinal carinz in the middle, the me- 
dial one continuous, the other two converging posteriorly and 
nearly continuous; posterior surface vertical, finely transversely
