 ing 8-jointed antennae with a 4-jointed funicle, the club solid, 

 one ring-joint. Scutellum simple; parapsidal furrows not 

 complete, only cephalad. Antennal club not terminating in a 

 nipple. Propodeum with a short median carina. Mesopost- 

 scutellum rather large, well separated ; pronotum also well 

 separated. Postmarginal vein long, a third longer than the 

 stigmal, the marginal vein shorter than the submarginal. 

 Small. Abdomen ovate. Marginal vein about two and a 

 quarter times the length of the stigmal. Antennae inserted 

 on a level with the ventral ends of the eyes. Mandibles with 

 four or five minute teeth. Abdominal segments more or less 

 equal, none greatly lengthened.

Dark metallic green, the abdomen coppery, the wings hyaline, the 

 antennas dusky ; legs yellowish white but the coxae more or less con- 

 colorous. Thorax densely, finely, scaly reticulated but the scutellum 

 and propodeum much finer, opaque or very finely alutaceous. First 

 and second funicle joints longer than wide, subequal, longest of the 

 funicle, the remaining two more or less subequal, wider than long; 

 club short but longer than any of the funicle joints, the first of which 

 is only slightly shorter than the pedicel.
