robust, extending to the outer edge of the labrarea, black except at the middle 
and at apex where they are dark reddish, palpi nearly typical; thorax covered 
with an abundance of grayish hairs hich are so short on the dorsulum as to 
make a velvety covering, hairs of the dorsulum darker than the almost whitish 
long hairs on the mesopleura, dorsulum dullish, finely reticulated and punct- 
ured like the clypeus but less distinctly so and more closely punctured, no- 
tauli represented by a shining line, mesopleura with almost whitish hairs, 
sculptured somewhat like the face but not so closel}" or distinctly punctured, 
scutel nearly bare, hairy and sculptured much like the dorsulum but more 
densely so, metanotum hairy and sculptured like the scutel except that the 
sculpture is still denser and less distinct, and the hair less conspicuous, tegulae

brown, stigma pale brownish stramineous, rest of veins dull stramineous, 
with a blackish tinge, first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal 
cell in the middle, and nearly as near to the second transverse cubitus as 
the first transverse cubitus is to the second transverse cubitus on the radial 
vein, nervulus interstitial and forming an acute angle with the first abscissa 
of the discoidal vein, membrane uniformly tinged with brown, legs blackish 
except for the claws which are more or less brownish stramineous, legs cov-
