  projecting, 
  thick, 
  much 
  broader 
  than 
  long, 
  slightly 
  incised 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  apex 
  with 
  five 
  teeth 
  ; 
  the 
  central 
  and 
  

   outer 
  sharply 
  pointed, 
  the 
  other 
  two 
  broader 
  and 
  truncated 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex. 
  Third 
  antennal 
  joint 
  not 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  

   the 
  fourth 
  and 
  not 
  twice 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  second. 
  The 
  

   punctuation 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  close, 
  moderately 
  strong 
  ; 
  the 
  

   pubescence 
  short 
  and 
  sparse. 
  Thorax 
  opaque, 
  aciculate, 
  

   and 
  bearing 
  widely 
  separated 
  shallow 
  punctures, 
  those 
  on 
  

   the 
  median 
  segment 
  more 
  widely 
  separated 
  than 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  

   mesonotum. 
  Triangular 
  area 
  of 
  median 
  segment 
  opaque, 
  

   finely 
  and 
  closely 
  rugose, 
  channelled 
  down 
  the 
  middle. 
  The 
  

   oblique 
  furrow 
  on 
  the 
  mesopleura 
  is 
  wide, 
  deep 
  and 
  obliquely 
  

   striolated 
  ; 
  the 
  metapleurae 
  finely 
  obliquely 
  striolated 
  ; 
  

   median 
  segment 
  short, 
  its 
  apex 
  obliquely 
  and 
  rather 
  

   abruptly 
  rounded. 
  Petiole 
  longer 
  than 
  broad, 
  dilated 
  slightly 
  

   in 
  the 
  middle, 
  clearly 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  second 
  segment, 
  

   and 
  covered 
  with 
  moderately 
  large 
  punctures. 
  The 
  other 
  

   segments 
  are 
  similarly 
  punctured, 
  the 
  punctuation 
  becoming 
  

   sparser 
  towards 
  the 
  apex. 
  Pygidial 
  area 
  opaque, 
  irregularly 
  

   and 
  slightly 
  reticulated, 
  much 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  apex 
  

   rounded. 
  Incision 
  on 
  hypopygium 
  extending 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  rounded 
  at 
  base, 
  of 
  nearly 
  equal 
  width 
  throughout. 
  

   The 
  flagellum 
  is 
  rufo-fulvous 
  beneath, 
  the 
  inner 
  orbits 
  of 
  

   the 
  eyes, 
  the 
  antennal 
  tubercle, 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  metanotum, 
  

   the 
  third 
  abdominal 
  segment, 
  except 
  at 
  apex, 
  and 
  a 
  

   band 
  occupying 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  fifth 
  segment, 
  rufo- 
  

   yellow.* 
  Legs 
  inclining 
  to 
  piceous 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  knees, 
  

   tibise 
  and 
  tarsi, 
  yellow 
  in 
  front 
  ; 
  the 
  spurs 
  white 
  ; 
  the 
  spines 
  

   blackish. 
  The 
  second 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  almost 
  interstitial 
  ; 
  

   second 
  cubital 
  cellule 
  rather 
  shortly 
  pedunculated 
  ; 
  the 
  

   apical 
  nervure 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  basal. 
  The 
  wings, 
  although, 
  

   dark 
  smoky 
  throughout, 
  are 
  darker 
  along 
  the 
  radial 
  cellules. 
  

   Length 
  8 
  mm. 
  

  

  * 
  I 
  suspect 
  that 
  the 
  rufous 
  tint 
  is 
  caused 
  by 
  cyanide 
  of 
  potassium.
