9. Clypeus broad, truncate at the apex; eyes scarcely con- 

 vergent towards the clypeus, the inner margin slightly and very 

 widely emarginate. Antennae short, not as long as the thorax 

 and median segment combined, stout, but only slightly thickened 

 to the apex, the second and third joints of the flagellum equal in 

 length. Head small, clothed with short greyish pubescence, the 

 front with a sulcus reaching the anterior ocellus. Posterior 

 ocelli further from each other than from the eyes or the anterior 

 ocellus. Head and thorax opaque, minutely punctured ; the 

 mesosternum with a transverse but without a longitudinal carina; 

 a very deep transverse sulcus between the mesonotum and scu- 

 tellum, the sulcus coarsely longitudinally striated; basal area of 

 the median segment very coarsely longitudinally striated, the 

 sides of the segment indistinctly striated. Abdomen very finely 

 and minutely punctured, subpetiolate; the first segment short, 

 widened from the base, with one carina beneath, second ventral 

 segment sparsely and rather coarsely punctured ; pygidium 

 shining, sparsely and finely punctured, almost pointed at the 

 apex, the pygidial area not as clearly defined as in G. frenchi Turn. 

 Third abscissa of the radius less than half as long again as the 

 second; both recurrent nervures received by the second cubital 

 cell, the distance between them about half as great again as that 

 separating them from the base and apex of the cell. First trans- 

 verse cubital nervure bent outwards close to the cubitus, but 

 not as sharply as in G. frenchi Turn., a scar running from the bend 

 to the base of the stigma. Fore tarsi with a comb of very slender 

 spines.
