Female. — Ochraceous to honey yellow with conspicuous dark-brown 

 or blackish markings that are decidedly variable in extent and degree. 

 The blackish to brownish markings are as follows: A broad band 

 across dorsum on apical half of abdomen, a small median spot 

 between cereal plates, a transverse area across center of occiput, 

 collar of pronotum, anterior margin of mesoscutum, notal sutures 

 more or less, axillae in some specimens more or less, metanotum, 

 propodeum, and a blotch on metapleura below. The outer aspect 

 of tibiae and apical tarsal joints slightly suffused with dusky. Eyes 

 bright red. On dorsum of head, orbits paralleled by a narrow 

 iridescent white margin which expands below on the cheeks. 



Frontovertex about one and one-third times as wide as long. 

 The posterior ocelli several times their own diameter from the eye 

 margins and not quite as distant from the occipital margin. Fronto- 

 vertex slightly punctate reticulate. Mesoscutum and scutellum 

 finely reticulated. 



Scape slightly fusiform, slender, slightly more than five times as 

 long as wide, and about as long as funicle joints. Pedicel noticeably 

 longer than first funicle joint, a trifle more than twice as long as 

 wide. Funicle joints asymmetrical, ventral side longer, dorsal 

 margin obliquely shortened at apex ; all ventrally articulated. First 

 funicle joint plainly the smallest, slightly less than twice as long 

 as wide ; second a trifle the longest, but the difference in length 

 between this joint and third hardly appreciable without actual 

 measurement; second slightly more than twice as long as wide; 

 third a trifle shorter than second and appreciably wider so that it is 

 about one and three-fourths times as long as wide. Antennae strongly
