 slightly piorainent ; no antennal basin; mandibles deeply punctured at their 

 base; paljti pale; clypeus not separated laterally by a groove , the cheeks sepa- 

 rated from the face by a poorly defined carina extending from the upper angle 

 of the base of the mandibles outward and upward to the base of the eyes, then 

 along tlie inner margin of the eyes to their summit ; the middle of the face with 

 the clypeus forming a slightly gibbous area without distinct boundary; face, 

 forehead, vertex, temples and (;heeks rather nioie closely and coarsely punctured 

 tiian in rectimdata, appearing rather deeply reticulate than punctate; the punc-

 subcarinate; no carina between the antennae; posterior ocelli .31 mm. apart. .19 

 mm. from the compound eyes; slightly behind the apex of the latter; these 

 small, .63 mm. long, narrowly oval, somewhat pointed below, their inner niaigins 

 parallel; the face wide; antennae placed .10 mm. apart, .29 mm. from the com- 

 pound eyes, below the middle of the latter; in the female (Fig. 58) mudi shorter 

 and thicker than in reticulata, .24 mm. thick at the thickest part, which is beyond 

 the middle; scape one-fourth as long as the flagellum ; two-thirds longer than 

 joints three and four together; pedicel equalling the first joint of the flagellum 

 in length ; antennae of the male (Fig. 57) of equal thickness throughout ; the 

 scape one-seventh as long as the flagellum, a little shorter than joints three and 

 four together; pedicel as long as the first joint of the flagellum. 



Body short, about one-quarter narrower in proportion to its length than in 

 reliciUnta ; length 2.5 mm. ; width 1.3 mm. ; height 1.9 mm. Pronotum not form- 

 ing a visible collar, humeral angles very short, the front of the dorsum appear- 

 ing squarely truncate ; mesonotum and scutellum convex, without any sign of 

 lateral, anterior or parapsidal grooves; the whole back appearing as though 

 without sutures; mesonotum and scutellum punctured similarly to the head; 

 vertical part of the pronotum apparentl.y roughened ; its postero-lateral angles 

 also roughened ; the upper posterior part of the mesopleurae occupied by an oval, 

 moderately polished, oblique depressed area, with a few minute punctulations; 

 the anterior swelling deeply punctate behind, roughened in front; the entire 

 venter coarsely punctured, the sculpture largely hidden by the vestituie; jirojio- 

 deum very shallowly reticulate, the reticulations much lengthened and closely 

 I)arallel on the sides (Fig. 3) ; deeper above the petiole. Middle coxse .22 mm. 

 apart, .60 mm. from the front, and .48 mm. from the hind coxse; the latter .12 

 mm. apart; furcula short, indistinct, concealed by the vestiture, not evidently
