5, 5 to 8 equal, 9 and 10 slightly shorter, 11 and 12 combined equal to 

 or slightly shorter than 10, 13 variable, usually minute ; scrobe cavity 

 shallow, margin indistinctly carinate at ventrolateral angles; one to 

 three transverse carinae present in scrobe cavity just ventrad of an- 

 terior ocellus; interantennal projection with anterior carina con- 

 tinued up into scrobe cavity ; frons with a few shallow pits near lateral 

 margins, elsewhere minutely shagreened, several strong carinae ex- 

 tending laterad from anterior ocellus; frontal tentorial pits located 

 just laterad of antennal bases ; malar space usually slightly less than 

 one-third height of compound eye, in large specimens, slightly wider ; 

 fi'ontogenal suture almost straight ; combined widths of compound eyes 

 slightly greater than interocular space ; left mandible with two teeth, 

 right with three ; diameter of posterior ocellus slightly less than two- 

 thirds width of interocellar space. 



Surface of pronotum and mesoscutellum shallowly punctured, 

 areas between punctures lightly shagreened, remainder of dorsum of 

 thorax provided both with carinae and irregular punctures; pubes- 

 cence long, fine; anterolateral angles of pronotum carinate, anterior 

 dorsal carina interrupted on mesal one-quarter to one-third, prono- 

 tum often with a carina at posterior margin on meson; prepectus 

 narrow, apex not quite reaching tegula; apex of mesoscutellum with 

 an extremely narrow, mesally depressed lamina; metepisternum 

 shallowly pitted, areas between punctures almost glabrous, pubescence 

 long ; metacoxae glabrous on outer dorsal surface, covered with short 

 setae on outer ventral surface, minutely shagreened near apex on 

 ventral side; metafemur glabrous on outer surface, densely covered 

 by short setae, ventral margin provided with 16 to 24 minute teeth, 

 basal one slightly larger; small umer tooth present; apex of metati- 

 bia acute. 



Propodeum with a few lateral setae, surface provided with strong 

 mesal and apical carinae, laterobasal areas almost smooth, small tooth 

 present at each posterolateral angle, spiracular openings oblique; 

 petiole short, less than twice as long as wide, basal lamina nar- 

 row, lateral carinae usually present near base, but almost always 

 becoming obsolete before apex; gaster one-third to one-half longer 

 than metafemur; abdominal tergites 4 to 7 each with a double row of 

 lateral setae; eighth tergite minutely shagreened, sparsely setose, 

 spiracular openings oval, anterior margin often with a minute 

 rounded projection; cerci small, oval, located near posterior margin 

 of epipygium; apex of ovipositor sheaths with long setae. 



Male : 4.5-6 mm. Inner margin of scape strongly incised (fig. 8, 5), 

 pedicel cylindrical (fig. 9, t), combined lengths of antennal segments 

 11 and 12 usually equal to segment 13; malar space always with a 

 single long seta on each side of frontogenal suture, width of malar
