ingly as long as hair of mesopleurse, dorsulum dullish, finely re- 

 ticulated, coarsely punctured, the punctures ranging from adjoin- 

 ing to three puncture widths apart, notauli represented by an 

 impressed dullish line, mesopleurse with pale ochreous hairs through- 

 out, finely reticulated and mostly covered with shallow, adjoining 

 pits, scutel hairy and sculptured much like the dorsulum, metanotum 

 hairy and sculptured like the dorsulum except that the sculpture 

 is denser, tegulse dark blackish brown and brownish stramineous, 

 polished, wing base mostly pale stramineous, subcosta brownish 

 stramineous with a blackish tinge, stigma brownish stramineous 

 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 excepting the 

 tarsi and hind tibiae which are rather dark brownish stramineous, 

 legs covered with pale ochreous hairs, hind metatarsi at most hardly 

 wider than mid metatarsi and nearly half as wide as hind tibiae at 

 apex of the latter; propodeum with its enclosure feebly defined, not 

 sharply truncate but truncate at apex, finely reticulated and in 

 addition with about six crooked, longitudinal carinse on each side of 

 a nearly straight median longitudinal carina, rest of upper face

 and covered with pale ochreous hair, propodeal pleurae sculptured 

 apparently like the mesopleurse the sculpture nearly hidden by 

 the uniformly distributed pale ochreous hairs; abdomen with its 

 tergum polished excepting the elevated portions of tergites which 

 are partly reticulate but yet nearly polished, punctured, the punc- 

 tures small and not clear cut, from two to many puncture widths 

 apart on the first tergite, from one to three puncture widths apart 

 on the elevated portion of the second, third and fourth tergites where 

 the punctures are larger than on the depressed portions where 

 the punctures are farther apart, second tergite with its elevated 

 portion clown the middle : depressed portion :: 10 : 8, fifth tergite 

 with its basal blackish portion covered with poorly defined punc- 

 tures that are as many as four puncture widths apart, rest of fifth 

 tergite and exposed portion of sixth and seventh tergites stramineous, 

 anal process dark brownish, emarginate, the emargination forming 

 an obtuse angle, tergum with rather conspicuous pale ochreous hairs 

 that are supplemented on the sides of the second, third and fourth
