57 : 71, axial line : temporal line :: 33 : 20, joint 3 of antennae : 

 joints 4 + 5 :: 11 : 9, joints 4-8 inclusive apparently thicker 

 than long, the remaining joints not much longer than thick, antennae 

 blackish except that beyond the fourth joint they are brownish 

 beneath, antennae dullish, end joint typical, clypeus convex, with 

 almost adjoining and adjoining punctures, clypeus appearing blackish, 

 almost hidden by the dark brown pubescence, clypearea wanting, 

 labrarea at most apparently a little more than half as long as wide at 

 base and shaped somewhat thus, CO, i.e., like a capital b lying on its 

 straight side, labrarea at base apparently somewhat more than 

 one-third as wide as the labrum which latter has a fringe of golden 

 brown hairs, base of mandibles and eye nearly adjoining, the malar 

 space accordingly represented by not much more than a shining line, 

 mandibles black with the apical half mostly blackish castaneous, 

 typical in shape, palpi slender, nearly typical; thorax covered with 

 black or dark brown hairs except around the tubercles where there 

 is some pale, apparently ochreous hair, dorsulum finely reticulated, 

 also with shallow punctures that are as many as four puncture widths 

 apart, scutel and metanotum sculptured much like the dorsulum, 

 the metanotum, however, not so definitely sculptured as the scutel] 

 tegulae and subcosta blackish-brown, bounding veins of the stigma 

 almost concolorous with the subcosta, stigma yellowish brown, rest 

 of veins brownish stramineous, membrane with a distinct brownish 

 tinge, second submarginal cell apparently longer than the first, second 

 abscissa of cubitus apparently as long as the first transverse cubitus, 

 nearly half as long as the third and a little longer than the fourth 

 abscissa of the cubitus, nervulus received by the median cell and 

 forming an acute angle with second abscissa of the median vein, 

 pubescence of the blackish legs pale brown except that the hair of 

 the fore femora is fuscous like the hair at the base of hind tibiae; 

 scopa as in A. (P.) subchalybea Viereck except that the simple hairs 

 are ochreous rather than whitish, hair on inner side of hind metatarsus 

 golden brown, onychii and claws brownish stramineous, the latter 

 with castaneous tips; propodeum with its enclosure funnel shaped, 

 well defined, finely sculptured and with an irregular net work of 

 rugae in addition to the underlying sculpture, rest of propodeum 

 except its pleurae sculptured much like the enclosure but more 

 coarsely so, propodeal pleurae finely reticulated and with a few crater- 

 like punctures, posterior face of propodeum with a narrow median, 

 longitudinal sulcus; abdomen not fasciate, sculptured like the 

 dorsulum but with distinctly smaller punctures that are apparently,
