shining line, mesopleurae with almost ochreous hairs, sculptured 

 somewhal like the dorsulum, scutel hairy and sculptured like the 

 dorsulum. metanotum hairy and sculptured like the dorsulum except 

 that the sculpture is denser and less distinct, tegulae blackish brown, 

 shining, reticulated, wing base partly blackish brown, subcosta 

 blackish brown, stigma pale brownish stramineous bounded by dark 

 brown veins, rest of veins dull stramineous with a blackish tinge, 

 first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal cell in or a 

 little beyond the middle and nearly one and one-half times as far 

 from the second transverse cubitus as the first transverse cubitus is 

 to the stigma on the radial vein, nervulus nearly interstitial and 

 forming an acute angle with the first abscissa of the discoidal vein, 

 membrane uniformly tinged with brown, legs blackish, covered with 

 brownish hairs excepting most of hind trochanters, coxae and femora 

 on which the hairs are rather ochreous, scopa atypical, its hairs mostly 

 much shorter than half the greatest width of hind tibiae and nearly 

 erect, appearing brownish except along the edges where the hairs 

 are pale, nearly ochreous, hairs at base above decidedly darkened, 

 hind metatarsi presumably at most apparently a little narrower 

 than mid metatarsi; propodeum with its enclosure poorly defined, 

 dullish and finely reticulated, rest of upper face of propodeum sculp- 

 tured somewhat like the mesopleurae but less shining, and covered 

 with finer pale tawny hair, propodeal pleurae with a few shallow 

 punctures, finely reticulated, and almost hidden by the ochreous 

 floccus; abdomen with its tergum dullish, appearing almost impunc- 

 tate, the punctures mostly from two to four puncture widths apart 

 on the first tergite, the punctures hardly closer on the succeeding 

 tergites, second, third and fourth tergites with an apical, whitish hair 

 band that is interrupted in the middle of the second and third, apical 

 edge of first, second, third and fourth tergites with a whitish stramine- 

 ous edge, second tergite with its elevated portion down the middle : 

 depressed portion :: 18 : 9, fifth tergite more shining, reticulate, its 

 punctures distinct compared with the punctures on the other tergites, 

 pygidium nearly planate, nearly pointed at apex, tergum with 

 inconspicuous dark appressed hairs, in addition to the hair bands, 

 except laterally on the first and second tergite where there are some 

 whitish nearly erect hairs, fimbria dark seal-brown.
