 as or a little longer than thick except the end joint which is dis- 

 tinctly longer than thick, antennas blackish throughout, mandibles 

 typical, robust, extending to a little beyond the middle of the labrum, 

 black except for the apical half which is dark reddish, palpi nearly 

 typical; thorax covered with an abundance of tawny hairs dorsally 

 and over the tubercles, the hairs as thin and long on the dorsulum as 

 on the mesopleurse where the hairs are pale ochreous, dorsulum dull, 

 finely reticulated, and closely punctured, the punctures from one to 

 three puncture widths apart on the anterior third, less distinct and 

 more widely separated on the posterior half where the dorsulum is 

 in addition finely longitudinally striated, notauli represented by a 

 shining line, mesopleurse with pale ochreous hairs, except along the 

 upper margin where the hairs are tawny like on the dorsulum, sculp- 

 tured somewhat like the anterior third of the dorsulum except that 

 the punctures are represented by pits, scutel hairy and sculptured 

 much like the dorsulum except for being less distinctly sculptured and 

 not striate, metanotum hairy and sculptured like the dorsulum except 

 that the sculpture is denser and nearly hidden by the hairs, tegulse 

 dark brown, polished, wing base partly dark brown, subcosta blackish 

 brown, stigma brownish stramineous with a blackish tinge, rest of 

 veins dull brownish stramineous, membrane with a brownish tinge, 

 first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal cell before 

 the middle and not as near to 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 median vein 

 and the first abscissa of the discoidal vein, legs blackish except for 

 the tarsi which are more or less blackish brown, and the claws which 

 are reddish stramineous, legs covered with blackish hairs, excepting 

 the femoral hairs and the flocci which are pale ochreous, scopa typical, 

 its hairs of a blackish hue, and concolorous throughout, hind metatarsi 

 at most apparently as wide as mid metatarsi, the latter with pale hairs 

 along the upper edge; propodeum with its enclosure poorly defined, 

 finely reticulated, with short feeble rugae along the basal edge, rest of 

 upper face of propodeum sculptured somewhat like the mesopleurse but 

 not so coarsely and covered with pale ochreous hair, propodeal pleurae 

 nearly hidden by the pale ochreous floccus, reticulated and with a 

 few scattered shallow pits; abdomen with its tergum shining, rather 

 indistinctly punctured, the punctures from two to five puncture widths 

 apart, first tergite with its punctures not so close together as the
