  are

  The 
  female 
  antennae 
  normally 
  are 
  22 
  to 
  26-segmented, 
  although 
  

   very 
  small 
  specimens 
  rarely 
  have 
  as 
  few 
  as 
  19 
  or 
  20 
  segments 
  in 
  the 
  

   antennae; 
  the 
  'antennae 
  of 
  the 
  males 
  are 
  22 
  to 
  27-segmented 
  ; 
  the 
  flag- 
  

   ellar 
  segments 
  are 
  always 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  broad, 
  the 
  first 
  being 
  

   twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  broad. 
  The 
  entire 
  body 
  is 
  closely 
  finely 
  punctate 
  

   and 
  opaque 
  or 
  subopaque; 
  the 
  propodeum 
  is 
  without 
  a 
  distinct 
  stub 
  

   of 
  a 
  carina 
  posteriorly; 
  the 
  color 
  Varies 
  greatly, 
  but 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  

   nearly 
  always 
  black, 
  with 
  pale 
  inner 
  and 
  superior 
  orbital 
  lines, 
  and 
  

   the 
  thorax 
  is 
  black; 
  the 
  first 
  abscissa 
  of 
  the 
  radius 
  is 
  almost 
  invari- 
  

   ably 
  about 
  as 
  long 
  as. 
  the 
  second, 
  and 
  the 
  portion 
  of 
  cubitus 
  between 
  

   the 
  recurrent 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  intercubitus 
  is 
  fully 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  re- 
  

   current, 
  and 
  in 
  small 
  specimens 
  longer.
