ochreous throughout, fovarea widest a little below the middle of the 

 fovea, angulated at its widest point where it is as wide as the 

 fovea is wide opposite the angulation of the fovarea, the latter 

 polished and with a few large punetures, face polished, with 

 large adjoining and nearly adjoining punctures, clypeus slightly 

 elevated above the apical margin, convex, polished and punctured 

 much like the face, elypearea present on the apical two-thirds of the 

 clypeus, the latter thinly hairy, its surface not at all hidden by hairs, 

 labrarea truncate, width at base : length down the middle and width 

 at apex :: 10 : 4, labrarea at base half as wide as the labrum, the 

 latter with a fringe of pale golden hairs, joint 3 of antennae : 4 + 

 5 :: 8 : 10, joint 4 thicker than long, the succeeding joints longer than 

 thick, antenna? blackish throughout, mandibles typical, robust, 

 extending to the outer edge of the labrum, black except for the apical 

 half which is clear, dark reddish, palpi nearly- typical; thorax covered 

 with an abundance of slender hairs which are reddish on the dorsulum 

 where they are shorter than the ochreous hairs on the mesopleurae, 

 dorsulum dullish, finely reticulated, coarsely punctured, the punc- 

 tures ranging from adjoining to one puncture width apart, notauli 

 represented by an impressed dullish line, mesopleurae with pale 

 ochreous hairs, except along the upper margin where the hairs are 

 reddish, finely reticulated and mostly covered with shallow, adjoining 

 pits, scutel hairy and sculptured much like the dorsulum except for 

 being less reticulate and distinctly shining, metanotum hairy and 

 sculptured like the dorsulum except that the sculpture is denser, 

 tegulse dark brownish stramineous, polished, wing base partly 

 blackish brown, subcosta blackish brown, stigma brownish stra- 

 mineous with a reddish tinge, rest of veins dull stramineous, with a 

 blackish tinge, first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal 

 cell beyond the middle and a little nearer to the second transverse 

 cubitus than the first transverse cubitus is to the stigma on the 

 radial vein, nervulus interstitial and forming an acute angle with the 

 first abscissa of the discoidal vein, legs blackish brown except 

 for the tarsi and hind tibia? which are more or less brownish stra- 

 mineous, legs covered with pale ochreous or golden hairs, scopa 

 typical, its hairs of a golden hue, and concolorous throughout except 

 the hairs at base above which are slightly darkened, hind metatarsi 

 at most apparently as wide as midmetatarsi; propodeum with its 

 enclosure feebly defined except at apex where its truncature is 

 bounded by a carina, finely reticulated and in addition with a loose 

 network of sharp rugae on each side of a median longitudinal carina,
