shallow, immargined, extending more than half the distance between 

 antennal fossae and front ocellus; frontal ledge very distinct but not 

 carinifonn; malar furrow distinct; ocellar tiiangle obtuse; ocelloc- 

 ular line very slightly shorter than diameter of an ocellus; posterior 

 ocellus a little more than its own diameter in front of the sharp pos- 

 terior margin of vertex; head in dorsal vieAv thin at vertex and rather 

 deeply concave, the vertex and occiput forming a sharp angle; whole 

 head with fine, strong, ruguloso-punctate sculpture and clothed with 

 pale hairs which are longest along the inner eye margins. Antenna 

 long, slightly clavate; scape subcylindrical, slightly curved and ex- 

 tending above level of anterior ocellus ; pedicel nearly three times as 

 long as broad; ring joint quadrate; first funicular segment a little 

 longer than pedicel, nearly four times as long as broad; seventh 

 funicular segment subquadrate; club a little longer than two preced- 

 ing segments combined. 



Thorax rather short and robust; pronotum ratlier short and 

 strongly sculptured; mesoscutum uniformly and unusually strongly 

 sculptured, only the crest of the very short carinae at the posterior 

 end of scapulae shining; parapsidal grooves and depression at pos- 

 terior middle of mesoscutum deep; scutellum and axillae also strongly 

 sculptured ; whole of mesoscutum, scutellum, and axillae covered with 

 unusually conspicuous, long, pale hairs; mesosternum and anterior 

 half of mesopleuron shagreened and clothed with short, pale hairs, 

 posterior half of mesopleuron finely striated and bare; propodeum 

 with shallow reticulate sculpture and hairy only at lateral margins. 

 Anterior femur swollen, broadest very near apex, the apical trunca- 

 tion rounded, less oblique than usual; calcarium of middle tibia 

 strong, about two-thirds as long as basitarsus; posterior femur dis- 

 tinctly naiTower beyond than before the middle; posterior tibia 

 strongly compressed, very nearly as broad as femur, its posterior 

 margin with a fringe of moderately long hairs. Forewing about two 

 and one-third times as long as broad; costal cell densely ciliated in 

 apical angle and weakly ciliated basad of middle, with a bare area 

 between; area behind straight portion of submarginal vein for the 

 most part strongly ciliated but witli a narrow, subtriangular area 

 adjacent to the vein and a rather broad strip along the posterior mar- 

 gin bare; discal cilia on dark medial portion of wing coarser than 

 those on basal and apical portions. Abdomen about as long and as 

 broad as thorax, strongly sculptured; ovipositor exserted about half 

 length of abdomen.
