 long, about as long as the mesoscutum ; punctures of mesoscutum and 

 axillae finer than those on scutellum; propodeum coarsely rugose, with

 and transverse rugae, making it appear more or less distinctly to be com-

 closely carinate and punctured between the carinae; marginal and 

 postmarginal veins subequal in length, the stigmal vein somewhat 

 shorter; coxae and femora, except tips, black; tibiae redcUsh testaceous,
