dium shaped like an isosceles triangle. Black ; the mandibles, except 

 their tips, scape of antennse, pronotum, tubercles, scutellum usually, 

 apex of anterior and intermediate femora, and the whole of the tibiae and 

 tarsi yellow ; flagellum of antennse below ferruginous, pygidium red ; 

 clypeus with rather long silvery pubescence, remainder of head, thorax, 

 and abdomen with a little sparse, greyish pile ; wings hyaline, stigma 

 dark, nearly black ; nervures dark testaceous, tegulse light testaceous ;

This species belongs to the Lindenius group. In Bingham's key it

 bears a strong resemblance, superfioially, to a Prosopis.
