widths of compound eyes slightly greater than interocular width at 

 level of antennal bases ; diameter of posterior ocellus two-thirds width 

 of interocellar space. 



Dorsum of thorax coarsely punctate, pubescence long, yellow or 

 white; anterior margins or pronotum strongly carinate laterad, 

 anterior dorsal carina narrowly interrupted on meson; prepectus 

 small, not reaching tegula; mesoscutellum with a small mesal notch 

 on anterior margin, apex conspicuously bidentate, these projections 

 sharp, slightly converging; metepisternum strongly punctured, pro- 

 vided with a few scattered setae; metacoxa glabrous, sparsely setose 

 on outer ventral side; metafemur (fig. 12, h) glabrous, sparsely setose, 

 outer basal ventral tooth large, second and third teeth long, slender, 

 apical tooth blunt; inner tooth wanting; metatibia with apical spine 

 sharp, narrow, slightly curved. 



Propodeum setose, strongly carinate, prominent lateral teeth present 

 at posterolateral angle of propodeum, spiracular openings nearly 

 vertical; petiole short, stout, glabrous, lateral carinae wanting; basal 

 lamina wide on ventral side; gaster slightly longer than metacoxa, 

 abdominal segments 3 to 7 with lateral setae ; spiracular openings on 

 eighth tergite large, anterior margins straight ; eighth tergite glabrous, 

 without setae; cercus small, nearly round, located midway between 

 anterior and posterior margins of epipygium ; ovipositor sheath setose 

 at apex. 



Male: 8 mm. Antennal scape broad (fig. 8, ^), inner tooth of meta- 

 femur absent; metatibia with apex usually slightly blunted.
