Clypeus as long as its greatest width, its apex transverse. Base of thorax trans- 

 verse, the sides of the apex broadly rounded. Apex of post-scutellum bluntly rounded. 

 First abdominal segment longer than is usual with Odynerus, it showing an approach to 

 that of Eumenes; it is almost two-thirds of the length of the 2nd, becomes gradually 

 widened towards the apex and is there double the width of the base. The 2nd segment 

 is longer than it is wide at the apex, is narrowed at the base and has the apex more 

 strongly punctured than the rest.
