distinctly spinose, pulvilli large, fore tarsi distinctly ciliated ; 

 abdomen subpetiolate, the first segment scarcely coarctate at apex ; 

 second dorsal segment depressed at base, second ventral convex ; 

 pygidium distinct, longitudinally rugose ; wings subhyaline, fuscous 

 along costa and in marginal cell, nervures dark, stigma brown, 

 submedian cell of hind wings terminating distinctly beyond origin 

 of cubital vein : head and thorax with silvery pile, that on the dorsu-

9 . — Head and thorax black, abdomen, and legs in part, reddish- 

 brown ; scape, clypeus sometimes, mandibles basally, pronotum, 

 scutellum anteriorly, postscutellum, spot beneath tegulse, and on each 

 side of segments 2 and 3, or 2-4, anterior tibire and tarsi entirely, 

 medial tibia?, medial tibise within, and medial, and hind tarsi more or 

 less, yellowish ; flagellum beneath at base, tegulee, tubercles, reddish- 

 testaceous ; dorsulum somewhat iridescent ; head broader than long ; 

 frontal impression deep; eyes large, strongly flattened anteriorly, 

 strongly converging toward clypeus ; ocellii forming a low triangle, 

 placed in depressions ; clypeus distinctly punctured, strongly de- 

 pressed transversely before the anterior margin ; scape longer than 

 the two following joints united, first joint of flagellum nearly as long 

 as joints 2 and 3 united ; the pronotum appears as a thick, transverse 

 fold; dorsulum shining, with distinct separated punctures; meso- 

 sternum not carinated, epimerum and episternum separated, but not 

 very distinctly ; punctuation of mesopleurse stronger than that of the

 scutellum strongly convex ; middle segment with basal enclosure 

 smooth and polished, the posterior face punctured and divided by a 

 deep furrow which begins at the apex of the enclosure ; legs stout, 

 hind tibia? thickened within at apex ; first joint of medial tarsi 

 somewhat curved; tibiae and tarsi spinose ; pulvilli distinct; abdo- 

 men distinctly punctured most strongly on apical segments, first seg- 

 ment slender on basal half, then broadened to the apex, where it is 

 convex, but not coarctate ; pygidium rather large, obtuse at apex, 

 deeply punctured; ventral segments 3-5 puuctured along apical 

 margin only ; wings strongly iridescent, clear, the first and second 

 recurrent nervures interstitial with the first and second transverso-
