of anterior ocellus, pedicel one-half and ring segment one-sixth 

 length of segment 4, segments 4 to 8 equal in length, 9 and 10 slightly 

 shorter, 11, 12, and 13 much shorter than 8 ; scrobe cavity deep, inner 

 surface minutely shagreened, margins acarinate laterad; interanten- 

 nal projection with small apical lamina; frons densely punctured 

 on area laterad of scrobe cavity, scatteringly punctured and with 

 short transverse carinae ventrad of antennal bases; frontal tentorial 

 pits not visible; frons without lateral carinae; width of malar space 

 slightly more than one-third height of compound eye; frontogenal 

 suture extending in a low arc from compound eye to mandible, a 

 secondary carina often present dorsad of suture near mandible ; com- 

 bined widths of compound eyes one-tenth less than interocular width 

 at level of antennal bases; left mandible with two indistinct teeth, 

 rarely with three, the ventral one slightly smaller and more acute, 

 right mandible usually with three teeth, occasionally with only two; 

 diameter of posterior ocellus slightly more than one-half interocellar 

 width. 



Dorsum of thorax covered by large deep punctures, spaces between 

 pits minutely reticulated, pubescence fine and long ; anterior margins 

 of pronotum strongly carinate laterad, anterolateral angles produced, 

 toothlike, mesal one-third of anterior dorsal margin without a cari- 

 na; mesoscutum slightly produced laterad over tegulae; prepectus 

 visible as a narrow tonguelike projection, not quite reaching tegula; 

 mesoscutellum with a slight mesal depression near base and with a 

 narrow, indistinct, apical lamina; metanotum with an irregular row 

 of long, slender setae; dorsal and anterior areas of metepisternum 

 deeply pitted, areas between pits and unpunctured areas glabrous; 

 metacoxa glabrous, setose except on outer dorsal side; metafemur 

 (fig. 12, /) glabrous, densely covered with short setae on outer sur- 

 face, outer basal tooth small, followed by one, two, or three smaller 

 teeth, then two or three large blunt teeth, apical tooth slightly smaller 

 and more blunt, indistinctly subdivided to form three or four teeth; 

 sharp inner tooth present ; dorsal margin of metatibia sinuate where 

 it fits against larger teeth, 



Propodeum completely covered by long setae, one large lateral 

 tooth present on each side (fig. 13, a) , carinae of propodeum strong, 

 irregular, spiracular openings vertical or slanting slightly laterad; 

 petiole short, stout, less than twice as long as wide, surface glabrous, 

 basal lamina wide on ventral side, narrow on dorsum, interrupted at 

 laterodorsal angles, indistinct lateral carinae usually present near 

 base; gaster slightly shorter than metafemur, strongly flattened, 

 abdominal segments 3 to 7 with a few dorsal and lateral setae, eighth 

 tergite glabrous or minutely pitted, sparsely setose, spiracular open-
