 with moderate-sized punctures that are separated by about 1.2 their 

 diameter; temple moderately convex; upper end of prepectal carina 

 weak, ending near mid-height of hind edge of pronotum, where it 

 usually curves forward almost to reach front edge of mesopleurum; 

 propodeum moderately long, transversely rugulose across the middle 

 and near the longitudinal carinae, its punctures of moderate size, the 

 sublateral punctures separated by about 0.7 their diameter; median 

 longitudinal carinae of propodeum rather strong, moderately diver- 

 gent, extending about 0.7 the length of propodeum; hind femur about 

 5.7 as long as deep, its front face with numerous small weak punctures 

 that are separated by about twice their diameter; spinelike bristles on 

 middle tibia of moderate strength, rather sparse; first tergite about 

 2.0 as long as wide; second tergite about 1.6 as long as wide; third 

 tergite with weak transverse rugulosity and punctured, its tubercles 

 moderately prominent, hardly at all rugulose, covered with moderate- 

 sized punctures whose interspaces are about 0.8 their diameter; ovi- 

 positor sheath about 1.8 as long as front wing; ovipositor tip similar 

 to that of D. messor (fig. 330,f). 



Black. Clypeus and mandible stained with ferruginous; palpi 

 whitish or pale stramineous, their basal segment dark brown; tegula 

 and hind corner of pronotum white ; front and middle legs fulvous, the 

 apex of their first trochanter, most of second trochanter, apex of femur 

 in front, basal 0.12 of tibiae above, and tinge on front of tibiae, pale 

 yellowish; hind coxa, trochanters, and femur fulvous, the apex of the 

 femur fuscous; hind tibia and tarsus fuscous, the basal 0.12 of the
