Black, the pronotum in front, the tegulte, the 1st segment of the abdomen, 

 except at its extreme base, the apical portion of the femora, and the tibiae red, the 

 coloration of the legs varies considerably, the posterior femora and tibia; being 

 sometimes dark almost throughout, 1st and 2nd segments each with a narrow 

 ferruginous apical band of a paler colour than the red of the basal segment, there 

 is sometimes a line of red at the apex of the scutellum, and in the ^ the reflexcd 

 apical joint of the antennaj is pale. Head and thorax above closely and rugosely 

 punctured, clothed with short grey, the entire clypcns in the J, its sides only in the 

 9 , and the sides of tlic propodeum in both sexes with shining silver^' hairs, clypcus 

 narrowly notched at the apex in both sexes, more shining in the $ than the rest of 

 the head, pronotum truncate in front, its angles slightly produced in the ? , mcso- 

 pleura; shining, largely and closely punctured, wings darkened along the costa, 

 postscutellum raised, inferior apical spines of the propodeum rather elongate and 

 blunt, posterior coxto with a strong angular tooth on their posterior side ; abdomen 

 strongly punctured, nearly dull, basal segment campanulate, its ajiical margin 

 raised ; 2nd segment in certain lights seen to be clothed with a very tine grey sheeny 

 pubescence, much constricted at the base, its sides much rounded in the c^ , in the 

 ? with the sides beyond the basal constriction sub-parallel, apical margin mem- 

 branous, with a row of punctures at the base of the membranous appendix, beneath 

 rather shining, largely punctured on the 2nd segment, which has a scarious regu- 

 larly punctui-ed apical margin, much like that of its dorsal one, and which is some- 

 times reddish, following segments scarcely punctured. Long., 7 — 8 mm.
