antennz inserted above the middle of the face; scape reaching 
a little beyond the posterior ocelli; pedicel nearly globular; two 
transverse ring joints; funicle 6-jointed, the first joint approx-

gradually decreasing in length, the: sixth nearly twice longer 
than broad; club 3-jointed, slightly longer than the two pre- 
ceding funicle joints; pronotum short, transverse, a little nar- 
rower than the mesoscutum, punctate, its posterior margin 
narrowly shining and impunctate; mesoscutum and scutellum 
sculptured like the head, the mesoscutum nearly twice as broad 
as long, with distinct complete parapsidal grooves; axillz shining, 
with faintly reticulate sculpture; propodeum medially sculptured 
like the scutellum, with a very distinct median carina, the lateral 
folds represented by a large round fovea at base on either side 
of the middle, the spiracular sulci very deep, the surface of the 
propodeum on either side of the spiracular sulcus smooth and 
polished; neck of propodeum short; marginal vein of forewing 
distinctly though not greatly thickened; stigmal vein slightly 
shorter than the marginal and with a rather large knob; post- 
marginal very slender and somewhat longer than the marginal;
