Front and vertex closely, somewhat strongly, punctured ; the sculpture and 

 foi'm of the clypeus is hidden by the dense hair Mesonotum closely punctured, 

 the punctures round, forming almost reticulations. Metanoial area almost 

 smooth. Abdominal segments finely, closely punctured, the last more 

 strongly than the others, its ventral armature in the form of 3 stout teeth, of 

 which the central is longer and narrower, the lateral broad at the base, becom- 

 ing gradually narrowed to a fine point, the outer sides rounded. There are 2 

 large wide mandibular teeth, rounded at the apex, the apical is much longe 

 than the others. 



Allied apparently to M. alhihrous, Sm., but the form of the abdominal

 cence on the head, thoiax, apex of dorsal abdominal segments and base of 

 scopa clear white, the apical half of the scopa white mixed with bright red ; 

 wings clear hyaline, the tegulse and costa piceous, the nervures black. Apex

G ypeus closely, somewhat strongly, punctured, the centre of the face 

 smooth, shining. Thorax closely, distinctly punctured, the metanotal area 

 finely aciculated, the rest of the metanotum less closely punctured than the 

 mesonotum. Abdomen less strongly punctured than the thorax, the punctur- 

 ation becoming weaker towards the apex. Beyond the extreme base the 

 metatarsus is nob much narrower than the apex of tibiae. 



The $ is smaller, has the antennae longer (as long as the head and thorax 

 united), the apical abdominal segment ends in 4 irregular teeth, of which the 

 central 2 are longer and sharper, the space behind them being depressed.
