indistinctly, longitudinally striate and distinctly punctured, not elevated into 
a welt along the fovea, fovea at most : ocellocular line :: 9: 13, foveal band 
virtually wanting at upper end of the inner eye margin, distance between fovea 
and ocelli : ocellocular line :: 3:13, fovea somewhat attenuated below its 
middle and continued to a plane apparently a little below the antennal line, 
fovea filled with dull whitish, almost ochreous hairs, fovarea wanting, face 
shiny, indistinctly reticulate, with distinct punctures that are mostly from one 
to three or four puncture widths apart, clypeus distinctly elevated above the 
apical margin, convex, sculptured like the face except that the punctures are 
larger and mostly from two to six puncture widths apart, clypearea present 
but poorly defined, clypeus thinly hairy its sculpture not at all hidden by hairs 
labrarea deeply triangularly emarginate, its width at base •: length down the 
middle :: 5: 2, width at apex : length dowm the middle :: 3.5: 2, greatest length : 
width at base :: 4: 5, distance between lower angles of clypeus : width of labra- 
rea at base :: 18: 5, labrum with a fringe of golden hairs and without a median 
longitudinal crista between its apical edge and the labrarea, joint 3 of antennae 
: 4-|-5 :: 8: 5, joints 4 and 5 much thicker than long, the succeeding joints from 
a little thicker than long to as long as thick except joint 12 which is distinctly 
longer than thick, antennae very dark blackish bromi throughout, mandibles 
typical, robust, extending to beyond the corners of the clypeus, blackish bronti 
except for the apical half which is reddish brown, palpi nearly typical; thorax 
thinly covered with almost white hairs which are shorter on the dorsulum than 
on the mesopleura, dorsulum shiny, sculptured much like the clypeus, but not 
so shiny, notauli represented by a shiny line, mesopleura sculptured somewhat 
like the dorsulum but not so distinctly punctured and with a loose network of 
carinae, scutel hairy and sculptured much like the dorsulum, metanotum hairy 
and sculptured like the dorsulum except that the sculpture is denser and less 
distinct, tegulae dark brownish stramineous, shiny and finely reticulated, wing 
base partly blackish brown, subcosta blackish brown, stigma pale brownish 
stramineous with a dark bromi margin, rest of veins dull brownish stramineous, 
first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal cell a little before the 
middle and nearly as near to the first transverse cubitus as the first transverse 
cubitus is to the stigma on the radial vein, nenmlus almost exactly interstitial 
and forming an acute angle with the first abscissa of the discoidal vein, mem- 
brane with a uniform brownish tinge, legs dark brown exce])t for the small 
joints of the tarsi which are more or less dark stramineous, legs covered witli 
golden and whitish hairs, scopa atypical, its hairs branched and forming a 
brush so dense as to almost obscure the tegument, its hairs golden except at 
base above where they are decidedly darkened, hind metatarsi at most : mid 
metatarsi :: 8: 9.5; propodeum with its enclosure poorly defined, dullish and 
very finely reticulated and with an indistinct network of carinae at base, rest 
of upper face of propodeum sculptured somewhat like the mesopleura, and 
covered with finer whitish hair, propodeal pleura shiny, finely reticulated and 
with sparse shallow punctures, the j)ropodeal floccus whitish; abdomen with 
its tergum dullish finely sculptured and sparsely punctured, the punctures 
mostly from two to six puncture widths apart on the first tergite, the punctures 
closer on the succeeding tergites, first, second, third, and fourth tergites with
