-^ .—Brown, inipiibesrent. Head large, broader than the thorax ; face smooth, 

 shining, with only a few irregular and scarcely impressed punctulation.s; a 

 deeply impressed line extending on each side between theantennse downward 

 and outward in an irregular curve to the mandibles, forming a very narrow 

 strongly nnicronate clypeus; mandibles broad ; antennse inserted close together, 

 far distant from the eyes, which are very small, oval, and placed their full length 

 from the mandibles (Fig. 9), their base barely extending below the insertion of 

 the antennae; cheeks very broad, polished. 



Dorsum smooth, polished, minutely sparingly punctulate; propodeum in front 

 of the insertion of the petiole similarly scul})tured, rest of the propodeum and 

 pleurae pitted or reticulate; metaiiotum situated iu a transverse broad and shal- 

 low groove. Posterior coxae smooth ; metatarsus somewhat longer than the 

 three following joints united ; the claws with a single distinct ray, the inner ray 

 being reduced to a very small tooth. Wings short, only reaching the tip of the 

 abdomen, hyaline; veins brown ; R.-. obtusely curved; E4 wanting; M1 + 2, Mj, 

 m, and M2 indistinct. 



Petiole short, smooth, about one-fourth the length of the abdomen ; the latter

%, . — Black, the lower parts of the metapleui-se and the propodeum below the 

 petiole red. Finely puberulent. Head small, narrower than the thorax ; face 

 shallowly, closely punctulate, the punctures somewhat confluent; antennae 

 approximate, inserted on a convexity of the front; a groove extending from 

 without the antennas downward and slightly inwaixi to either side of the cly- 

 peus ; vertex rounded, closely punctulate, not confluent; cheeks and temples 

 very narrow and almost linear, smooth and polished, with a few scattered punc- 

 tures; eyes large, oval, removed by one-third their length from the mandibles. 



Dorsum with distant large round punctures ; pleurae similarly and venter more 

 sparingly punctured; upper angles of mesopleurse smooth, polished, impunc- 

 tured; propodeum coarsely reticulate; metanotum comparatively broad in a 

 shallow transverse, curved groove. Posterior coxae approximate, prongs of the 

 furcula subdivergent, the larger tibial spur more than half the length of the 

 metatarsus, the latter nearly as long as the three following joints united; last 

 joint nearly as long as the third ; claws two-thirds as large as the fourth tarsal 

 joint, slender; rays at acute angles, the inner (basal) ray much the shorter. 

 Wings long, extending considerably beyond the tip of the abdomen, hyaline ; the 

 stigma dark, many of the veins more or less faint; Mi-;^^. Mi. i" •'i'"l t'le longi-
