 faint trace of violaceous in certain light; thorax a bright shining green 

 with a faint trace of violaceous or pm'plish in certain light; abdomen 

 almost black just a trace of reflected bluish, the last tergite white; 

 all of clypeus except for the middle 0.25, the sides of face almost to 

 the antennae and extending on inner orbits to above antennae (re- 

 duced to a narrow line above antennae), and almost apical half of 

 mandibles (apex reddish), yellowish; mouth parts brown; under side of 

 antennae yellowish, joints bej'^ond third joint lost; forecoxae slightly

 especially at the outer posterior corners of propodeum, the apical 

 third of the latter with very long, rather dense white hairs; the whole 

 thorax with considerable upright hair giving a rough appearance; 

 clypeus with a broad, transparent, haMess rim across the front and 

 on the sloping sides, 2.3 as broad as long; the sloping sides of clypeus 

 reducing the width of apex so that it is only about 0.7 as long as at 

 base, the apex truncate; head a little more than 1.2 as broad as long; 

 the lower interocular distance (70) just about equal to the upper; 

 the middle interocular distance 0.60 the transfacial; the lateral ocelli 

 just about as far from eyes as from each other; ratio of length of first 

 three antennal joints (rest lost) is 35 :12 :50; posterior edge of pronotum 

 shghtly concave, the mesonotum just back of it is a shining black with 

 no color; wings brownish; parameres of genitalia not quite as broad as 

 usual for the genus.
