ing the eye mai'gin, tlie vertex sloping cephalo-ventrad, the 

 antennae inserted distinctly below the middle of the face yet 

 still slightly above an imaginary line drawn between the ventral 

 ends of the eyes, the bulbs rather widely separated, the scro- 

 bicular cavity rather shallow, oblong, not reaching by some dis- 

 tance to the cephalic ocellus. Scape long, cylindrical and slen- 

 der, much longer than the club; an obconic pedicel, one ring- 

 joint, three funicle joints, the second bevelled off at apex, the 

 third oval and subpetiolate at apex, a two-jointed, short, conic- 

 ovate club, its smaller distal joint terminating in a nipple-like 

 spur; its proximal joint forming more than half of the whole 

 region. Club only slightly wider than the funicle. Posterior 

 tibiae armed with a single long acuminate spur; tarsi four- 

 jointed. Marginal vein long and slender, only slightly shorter 

 than the submarginal, the postmarginal and stigmal veins very 

 short, the latter longer but with only a very short neck. Mar- 

 ginal fringes very short. Abdomen with a very short petiole, 

 usually not visible, conic-ovate, depressed, the second segment 

 a fourth of its length, the third a half shorter, the fourth 

 transverse, the fifth only slightly shorter than the third, lightly 

 reticulated cephalad, the sixth longer than the third, densely 

 reticulated, hairy. Abdomen widest at apex of the second seg- 

 ment. Head and thorax opaque, rather densely reticulately 

 punctate but the propodeum shining, brilliant and delicately 

 reticulated, with a distinct, acute median carina, crossed by 

 another short one at apex, the carina banded on each side by a 

 deep longitudinal sulcus, whose lateral margins are carinse and 

 caudad join the ends of the short transverse carina; also the 

 median carina at immediate base divides. Scutellum without 

 longitudinal grooves, the parapsidal furrows obsolete, the meso- 

 thorax bearing very long, black, isolated setae. Propodeal 

 spiracle round. 



The male is the same but the abdomen is distinctly petiolate, 

 oval, less pointed and angular, the genitalia exserted; also the 

 antennal club is longer and more slender, the funicle joints all 

 subpetiolate, the pubescence longer and softer ; the first funicle 

 joint is longer, as long as the more slender club. Segments
