as long as thick; ring joint small, but very distinct; first flagellar 

 joint quadrate; second twice as broad as long; following to the club 

 of the same form but becoming wider; club with the joints compact, 

 considerably shorter than the three preceding joints together. Malar 

 line very distinct, one-fourth as long as the eye-height. Head behind 

 more coarsely shagreened, distinctly margined. Pro- and mesonotum 

 shining, shagreened, of about equal length. Scutellum shagreened 

 and with a few scattered punctures anterior to the cross furrow which 

 is at the apical third, tip smooth, impunctate. Metanotum with 

 some irregular areola? defined by very strong carina?. Abdomen 

 elongate ovate; distinctly longer than the thorax; second, third and 

 fourth segments of nearly equal length. Mesopleura large, polished 

 with a deep fovea near the middle of its posterior margin; femoral 

 furrow extending halfway up the pleura, transversely aciculate. Legs 

 thickened, the posterior femora enlarged to near the tip and sharp 

 below, with a blunt rounded tooth at the apical fourth. Wings appar- 

 ently infuscated; basal vein very oblique; marginal vein two-thirds 

 as long as the submarginal and nearly twice as long as the postmargi- 

 nal; stigmal vein nearly half as long as the marginal, with a small 

 knob at the tip and a short slender stump of a vein extending obliquely 

 toward the costal margin of the wing. 



One specimen, without number. 



This species is either a Monodontomerus or a member of the closely 

 allied genus Diomorus. It is impossible to make out the shape of the 

 posterior margin of the second abdominal segment, but the sculpture 

 of the head and thorax is not coarse as in Diomorus. Except for the 

 typical monodontomerine form of the hind femora, the species looks 

 much like those of the fossil genus Palceotorymus known from the 

 Miocene of America.
