 tinctly trausverse-qnadrate, the eyes rather prominent; the anterior margin not 

 convex or mesally emarginate. Profile rounded above, eyes high, slightly 

 oblique ; temples broadened below ; malar space one-fourth the length of the eye.

 antennal carina; extreme apex of mandibles red, the rest black: only a quite 

 indistinct carina separating the face from the cheeks; face and clypeus scarcely 

 swollen ; forehead, vertex, temples and cheeks closely, not very coarsely, evenly 

 punctured, the punctures in rows on the temples; the face roughly but rather 

 shallowly reticulate-punctured ; the compound eyes small, the antenna; inserted 

 below their middle, nearly filiform'; scape one-sixth as long as the flagellum, less 

 than one-fifth longer than joints 3 -4- 4; pedicel four-fifths as long as the third 

 joint. Alitrunk short and stout; proiiotum scarcely prolonged, slightly trans- 

 versely incurved; humeral angles sharp; mesonotum and scutellum distinctly 

 convex; punctuations on them smooth, close, a little coarser than on the fore- 

 head ; those on the propodeum above the petiole close, numerous and smooth, 

 but only about' one-half the diameter of those on the dorsum proper; the lateral, 

 anterior and parapsidal grooves wanting; the whole niesopleura' smooth and 

 highly polished, two or three pits in a longitudinal row across the centre ; the 

 venter with numerous coarser punctures, coarsest on the metaventer; the 

 sculpture of the metapleurse and sides of the propodeum as shown in Fig. 4 ; 

 the propodeum posteriorly and below the petiole shallowly, not very coarsely 

 reticulate. 



The tibial spur is one-half the length of the metatarsus; the latter is one-fifth 

 longer than joints 2-5 together; the tibise are minutely spinulose. The wings 

 are hyaline. 



The petiole is closely, moderately coarsely punctuicd. The abdomen is orbic-
