eyes moderately large, ovate; posterior orbits equal to half the width of 

 eye; antennae inserted slightly above the middle of eyes, 48-jointed in the 

 type, the flagellar joints all distinctly much longer than thick; thorax pol- 

 ished, sparsely hairy; mesoscutum with the parapsidal grooves complete, 

 deep, broad, and non-foveolate ; transverse groove separating the meso- 

 scutum from scutellum deep, with one longitudinal carina in the middle; 

 mesopleura smooth, the impression below the middle non-foveolate; pro- 

 podeum thickly covered with pale yellowish hairs, rugulose-punctate, with 

 a short strong median carina anteriorly and distinctly areolated on the pos- 

 terior face; the areolation comprised mainly of an elongate pentagonal me- 

 dian area extending from a little before the middle to the posterior margin 

 and on either side of this a broader, deeply depressed, irregularly shaped 

 area which is limited outwardly by a strong curved carina that runs from 

 the posterior nearly to the anterior margin; propodeal spiracles on low tubercles, 

 stigma of forewing rather long and moderately broad ; radial cell long, termi- 

 nating considerably before the extreme wing-apex; first abscissa of radius 

 about equal to the breadth of stigma; second abscissa one and one-half times 

 the first abscissa and slightly shorter than the first intercubitus; third radial 

 abscissa fully twice as long as the first and second combined, nearly straight; 

 recurrent nerve interstitial; second cubital cell narrowed toward apex; first 

 brachial cell completely closed; posterior wing with a very distinct post- 

 nervellus; abdomen about as long as thorax; first tergite smooth, strongly 

 bicarinate on the basal half, the carinae fading out slightly behind the mid- 

 dle; tergites beyond the first entirely smooth and polished; coalesced second 

 and third tergites showing no trace of the suturiform articulation. General 

 color pale reddish testaceous; antennae, apex of mandibles, eyes, ocellar 

 triangle, tegulae, hind tibiae except a broad median band, their tarsi, and 

 the apex of abdomen above, black or blackish; wings hyaline, with veins 

 and stigma black.
