or a little longer than thick, antennae blackish throughout, mandibles typical, 
robust, extending to the outer edge of the labrarea, black except for the apical 
half which is dark reddish, palpi nearly typical; thorax covered with an abun- 
dance of pale ochreous hairs which are as long on the dorsulum where they are 
darker than the almost whitish hairs on the mesopleura, dorsulum dullish, 
finely densely reticulated and punctured, the punctures seemingly lost among 
the dense reticulation, notauli represented by a comparatively smooth dullish 
line, mesopleura with ahnost*whitish hairs, finely reticulated, somewhat shiny, 
indistinctly, sparsely punctured, scutel hairy and sculptured much like the 
dorsulum except that along its anterior edge it is nearly polished, metanotum 
hairy and densely sculptured, the sculpture nearly hidden by the hairs, tegulae 
dark brown, reticulated, indistinctly jnmetured, entirely covered with ochreous 
hairs, wing base partly blackish brown, subcosta blackish brown, stigma dark 
stramineous like the costa, rest of veins dull stramineous, with a blackish tinge, 
first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal cell beyond the middle 
and a little nearer to the second transverse cubitus than the first transverse 
cubitus is to the stigma on the radial vein, nervulus received by the median cell 
and forming an acute angle with the second abscissa of the median vein, mem- 
brane uniformly tinged with brown, legs blackish except for the small joints of 
the tarsi which are more or less pale brown ; legs covered with brownish golden 
and ochreous hairs, scopa typical, its hairs pale ochreous, almost white, hairs 
at base above decidedly darkened, hind metatarsi at most as wide as the mid 
metatarsi; propodeum with its enclosure poorly defined, fullish and finely 
reticulated, rest of upper face of propodeum indistinctly densely sculptured and 
covered with fine pale ochreous hair, propodeal pleura shiny, reticulated, with 
sparse shallow punctures and almost hidden by the almost white floccus; ab- 
domen with its tergum shining, finely rectulated and sparsely punctured, the 
punctures from two to six or more puncture widths apart on the first tergite, 
the punctures hardly closer on the succeeding tergites, second, third and fourth 
tergites with an apical, pale ochreous, complete hair band, apical edge of first, 
second, third and fourth tergites with a stramineous border, second tergite 
with its elevated portion down the middle : depressed portion :: 17: 10, fifth 
tergite shining, reticulate, its punctures partly closer together than on the 
other tergites, pygidium slightly convex, with a shallow furrow on each side, 
shiny, finely sculptured, nearly pointed at apex, tergum with inconspicuous, 
pale, nearly erect hairs in addition to the broad hair bands, the nearly erect 
hairs of the first and second tergites much longer than the analogous hairs of
