  abdomen 
  as 
  seen 
  from 
  above

  ; 
  seventh 
  tergite 
  almost 
  

   straight 
  across 
  hind 
  margin, 
  the 
  lateral 
  angles 
  slightly 
  prominent 
  

   and 
  the 
  median 
  line 
  near 
  apex 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  recumbent 
  tubercle 
  which 
  

   scarcely 
  projects 
  beyond 
  the 
  medianly 
  depressed 
  hind 
  margin 
  ; 
  eighth 
  

   tergite 
  broadly 
  elliptical, 
  wrinkled 
  transversely 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  median 
  

   keel 
  which 
  is 
  elevated 
  posteriorly 
  and 
  forms 
  a 
  small 
  projection 
  on 
  

   hind 
  margin; 
  ninth 
  tergite 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  eighth, 
  with 
  sinuate 
  

   transverse 
  wrinkles, 
  a

  sutures 
  between 
  sternites 
  while 
  not 
  greatly 
  modified 
  have 
  a 
  

   tendency 
  toward 
  median 
  emargination 
  and 
  lateral 
  sinuation; 
  6 
  is 
  

   more 
  concave 
  behind 
  and 
  7 
  somewhat 
  produced 
  medianly 
  and 
  con- 
  

   cave 
  laterally; 
  an 
  elliptical, 
  vertically 
  ridged 
  and 
  horizontally 
  

   wrinkled
