? ouly. A dull and somewhat pale castaneous species, with black 

 markings and broadly white-banded antennae. Flagellum with the 

 6th- 7th joints and its apex from the 17th, propleurae except above, 

 whole mesopleurae and frenum, metathorax, except the external and 

 dentiparal areae, terebra and hind tarsi, black. Face strongly punctate, 

 short and convex, with epistoma prominent and cheeks buccate ; 

 clypeus isolatedly punctate, thrice broader than long, basally discreted 

 and apically emarginate with a central fovea ; labrum exserted and 

 elongately ciliate. Thorax dull and closely punctate, with notauli 

 elongate but very weak ; metauotum finely coriaceous and pilose with 

 all the carinae complete, weak and not elevated ; areola hexagonal, 

 longer than broad, extending to base and apically emargiuate. 

 Scutellum deplauate, isolatedly punctate and glittering. Abdomen 

 subcylindrical, not broader than thorax, dull with the anus hardly less 

 so ; petiole slender and shining ; postpetiole not broad, closely and 

 deeply punctate, obsoletely bicariuate ; gastrocoeli large, deeply im- 

 pressed and broader than the slightly aciculate intervening space ; 

 terebra exserted, as long as the seventh segment. Legs neither stout 

 nor short ; all the coxae simple and extremely finely punctate ; hind 

 tarsi abruptly and totally black. Wings fulvescent-hyaline with the 

 stigma, costa and nervures pale testaceous ; lower basal nervure 

 slightly postfurcal : external cubital and apex of the anal nervures 

 pellucid. Length, 14 mm. Very distinct from Chasmodes fortunatus

 little stouter.
