joint of front trochanters, the middle trochanters and basis of their tibiae 

 testaceous, the rest of the legs remaining black (all being broken off about 

 the middle of the tibiae). The head is quadrate, above smooth and highly 

 polished, with only a few scattered punctures ; in front, below the front 

 ocellus to the insertion of the antennae, it is transversely rugulose ; face 

 beneath the antennae, except the lower inner angles of the cheeks, which 

 are smooth and polished, is closely irregularly punctate; mandibles 

 black, with a rufo-piceous tinge ; while the palpi are fuscous. The 

 thorax is rugosely punctate, the mesonotum with numerous transverse 

 ridges and with complete parapsidal furrows. Wings almost hyaline or 

 only faintly tinged, the stigma and veins being black or brown-black, the 

 first recurrent nervure being received by the first cubital cell at about the 

 middle, the second recurrent nervure received by the second cubital cell a 

 little beyond its middle, while the third cubital cell is more or less divided 

 into two by a spurious stump of a vein which originates from the cubitus 

 a little before the apex of the second recurrent nervure. All coxae are 

 black and rugulose, the hind pair being elongate and produced beneath at 

 apex into a triangular process that extends far beyond the insertion of the 

 trochanters. The abdomen is highly polished, impunctate, except at the 

 extreme base, and is shaped as in Aulacus, only it is not so distinctly 

 petiolate ; the first segment occupies fully half the whole surface of the 

 abdomen.
