cf. Entirely rufo-ferruginous, except the legs and antennae are brown; 

 clothed with considerable, erect, white pubescence; wings crossed by a fuscous 

 band. 



Head about as wide as the thorax, rather extended behind the eyes and 

 ocelli; the latter very large, the posterior pair behind the supraorbital line, 

 removed from the compound eyes by about twice and from each other by one 

 and a half times their diameter, and from the front pair by less than their 

 diameter; head covered with sparse, erect, rather long, white pubescence, the 

 face below the antennae being glabrous; front with rather close, irregular, 

 setigerous punctures, becoming well separated, round, and smaller above and 

 on the occiput, the intervals polished, shining; on the front above and between 

 the bases of the antennae and each eye is a small mammilliform process; 

 occiput convex; posterior and postero-lateral angles of the head not defined, 

 unarmed; antennae separated by distinctly less than the diameter of the ocelli, 

 with only a poorly defined carina between and below them; face below the 

 eyes much depressed; clypeus entirely glabrous, impunctate and polished, its 

 •interior margin produced medially, this portion somewhat reflexed, slightly 

 eniarginate, and with its lateral angles dentate, t)ut not pronouncedly so; the 

 pubescent labrum largely concealed; the malar space punctured, not one- 

 third as long as wide; mandibles gross, strongly curved, with two large blunt 

 teeth at the apex, the inferior margin strongly notched, the superior margin 

 formed by a strong sinuate carina bordering the scrobe, the latter slightly 

 convex, closely punctured, hirsute. Scape short, a little longer than the first 

 two segments of the flagellum, much curved, roughly punctulate and hirsute, 



trans, am. ent. soc, xlii.
