a cinctus just below the knee, reddish brown; teeth of middle 

 tarsus ventrad white, dense, soft. Venation yellow. Postmarginal 

 vein nearly twice the length of the stigmal ,which is moderately 

 long. Head and thorax very delicately scaly. Axillae barely separ- 

 ated inwardly. Lateral ridges of scutum distinct, the raised ce- 

 phalic, mesal portion small. Antennae inserted below the middle 

 of the face, slightly below th-e ventral ends of the eyes; scape

 as follows: The scape is entirely reddish, the middle and caudal 

 tibiae each bear a distinct, middle black cinctus; the marginal vein 

 is distinctly somewhat longer than the postmarginal. On the de- 

 pressed basin of the propodeum, which is reticulated, there is a 

 nearly half complete median channel composed of two foveae 

 end to end on each side of a very narrow median carina. Club 

 2-jointed; funicles 4 and 5 each somewhat longer than wide, longer 

 than the pedicel. Abdominal petiole a little wider than long. 

 Segment 5 of abdomen longest, equal to 3 and 4 united, abdomen 

 dorsad glabrous, finely scaly distad of segment 5 and on the lateral 

 aspect. Mesopleurum finely punctate, caudal half finely striate 

 cepholo-caudad. Prepectus mostly glabrous. Punctures dense,
