 Blood red, the following parts black : Head, antenna distad of funi- 

 cle 2, scutum, parapsides, scutellum, axillae, abdomen except lower 

 sides and venter, propodeum broadly along the meson and the middle

 the bend of the submarginal vein to apex and with a perfectly round, 

 rather small hyaline spot against the apex of the short stigmal vein; 

 venation dark. 



Funicle I a little longer than wide, 2 longest, twice longer than 

 wide, shorter than the pedicel, 8 quadrate; club a little longer than 

 the pedicel. Marginal vein somewhat less than twice the length of 

 the postmarginal, the latter over twice that of the stigmal which is di- 

 rected distad. Black teeth on hind femur along basal half. Cheeks 

 caudad margined. Umbilicately punctate; mesopleurum cross-rugulose; 

 apex of scutellum emarginate only; abdomen (except segment 2)

 of the very elongate pedicel which is a little longer than any funicle 

 joint; funicle 2 longest, a third longer than 2, slightly longer than 3, 

 8 twice longer than wide; club subcqual to funicle 3. Abdomen scaly
