them, along the upper margin of the pronotum, and a short line 

 beneath, tibial spurs, and the anterior and middle coxse and trochan- 

 ters, ivory or yellowish-white ; rest of legs, except the base of hind 

 trochanters, apices of hind tibia and tarsi which are black or fuscous, 

 and the abdomen, red ; scutellum and postscutellum yellow ; ocelli 

 whitish ; flagellum ferruginous beneath. Wings hyaline, the stigma 

 and veins, except the subcostal, median and submedian veins basally, 

 being brown-black ; the disco-cubital vein has only a trace of a stump 

 of a vein, the areolet being irregularly pentagonal, the sides strongly 

 convergent above, and receiving the second recurrent nervure very 

 slightly beyond its middle. The head is feebly, sparsely punctate, the 

 cheeks and temples being impunctate, thorax sparsely but more dis- 

 tinctly punctate, the metathorax rugulose, strongly and completely 

 areolated, the areola horse-hoof shaped, wider than long. The ab- 

 domen is twice as long as the thorax, smooth and shining, the petiole 

 very sparsely punctate, except at extreme apex where it is smooth and 

 impunctate, second and third segments punctate, the second the more 

 strongly punctate, the gastrocoeli small and not very deeply im- 

 pressed.
