2.0 their diameter; larger punctures on mesoscutum and top of pro- 

 no turn separated by an average of about 0.7 their diameter; underside 

 of male middle coxa weakly convex, vnih. fine dense oblique pubes- 

 cence; male hind coxa not or hardly speciaHzed, with a rounded angle 

 between its basal ventral lobe and its hind face; male seventh tergite 

 Avith a sharp median notch; male subgenital plate not produced or 

 swollen apically. 



Blackish. Face, clypeus, labrum, sides of frons, antennal tubercle, 

 narrow posterior orbit, spots on under side of scape and of pedicel,

 tegula, scutellum, postscutellum, sometimes a small longitudinal 

 stripe on mesopleuron above middle coxa, large spot above hind coxa, 

 imder side of front coxa, under and front side of middle and hind 

 coxae apically, dorsoanterior stripe on hind coxa that joins the apical

 in front, basal and apical spot on front and middle tibia above, dorsal 

 stripe on male front tibia, back side of male front basitarsus, all but

 first tergite that are approximate medially, apical band on female 

 first tergite that is widest laterally and sometimes interrupted medially, 

 apical band on second to fifth tergites of both sexes that is constricted 

 sublaterally, most of median part of sixth tergite, and broad apical 

 margin of male seventh tergite, pale 5^ellow. The face of the female 

 has a median black spot which usually does not reach the clypeus. 

 The labrum of the female may have a black median spot, or have only
