 lines. Body finely, polygonally reticulated, the abdomen some- 

 what more coarsely so. Normal for the genus but the antenna 

 apparently with three ring-joints, though in most cases but two

Female — Head normal, not thin as seen from above, the 

 antennjB capitate, the club three-jointed, simple and ovate, much 

 wider than the funicle, the latter three-jointed, short, clavate, 

 the joints all wider than long and widening distad, the first 

 transverse, the funicle shorter than the club; three suliequal 

 ring-joints, each of which is about half the length of the trans- 

 verse proximal funicle joint. Scape cylindrical, moderate in 

 length, the pedicel short, obconic but longer than any of the 

 funicle joints, the club joints much longer than it. Marginal 

 vein not half the length of the submarginal, nearly twice the 

 length of the stigmal which is well-developed but not large, the 

 postmarginal vein very short, not half the length of the stigmal. 

 Marginal fringes short, the discal ciliation normal. Parapsidal 

 furrows complete, the scutellum without longitudinal grooves, 

 the tarsi four-jointed, the posterior tibiae with one spur which 

 is moderately long. Abdomen from dorsal aspect rounded oval, 

 wider than the rest of the body, depressed and not as long as
