preceding together; but not twice as long as wide, the following flagellar joints 

 very convex in front, pubescent all over, without a distinct basal impression ur 

 tiattening, and with no hair-bands. 



Front of the head above the antennae densely hairv, Avith shallow sub- 

 rugose punctures ; above this, between the ocelli and the upper margin of the 

 eyes, the punctures become less close and more distinct, but tliey are feebh' 

 impressed and not coarse ; behind the ocelli the sculpture of the vertex is 

 dense, fine, and obscure. 



Mesonotum somewhat shining, for the most part densely and coarsely and 

 somewhat rugosely punctured, the punctures shalluw ; posteriorly over a con- 

 siderable area they are more remote and very distinct, so that on this part the 

 sculpture is like that of most of the surface of the scutellum. At the sides 

 between the tegulae and the lateral furrows the sculpture is fine and confused. 



Anterior area of the prop<ideuni with about or 8 long and very 

 strong, well-sculptured, lougitudiiial wrinkles — there are two or three short 

 ones on each side exterior to these — with few transverse connections, but con- 

 nected apically so as to form a strongly and sharply raised, irregular posterior 

 margin, the spaces between the wrinkles .-mootli and shining; the lateral areas 

 also have a strong, raised margin and are very shining. The posterior 

 surface of the propodeuni is, comparatively, feeblj' sculptured, the sculpture 

 more granulate in appearance; the ^ides have strong transverse or oblir^ue 

 wrinkles; the mesopleura are so densely clothed that the rough (aj)pareiitly 

 reticulate) sculpture is seen with difficulty. 



Abdomen shining, wedge-shaped, narrowing gradually from the apex of the 

 first segment, which has a very distinct and hue close puncturatiou, the punc- 

 tures becoming more remote on the disc, where there is a very narrow 

 impunctate line, in certain lights having the appearance of a scarcely per- 

 ceptible carination ; along the apical margin the segment is smooth and im- 

 punctate. Second segment a good deal like the hr>t in its sculpture, remotely 

 pun.ctured in the middle, much more densely towanis the sides, its apical 

 injpression impunctate, its base deeply and abruptly depressed or constricted ; 

 on the third and following segments the puncturatiou becomes sparse and 

 indefinite. 



Apical ventral segment very finely, remotely punctured, with no trace of a 

 depression, nor of a smooth median line. Length about 8 mm., expanse about 

 ]4 mm. (J.) 



Hah. "East Indies." 



I have not examined the genitalia of the single specimen described, 

 and the locality is not definitely known, the label onl}^ bearing the words 

 " East Indies," but the absence of distinct pubescent bands on the front 

 of the flagellar joints of the antennae and the hairy eyes will facilitate 

 \i-i identification.
