Differs from the genotyjie in having cephalic tibiae wholly yellowish white, not concolorous 

 just below knee for some distance. Club not shoi-tened or enlarged and obliquely truncate as 

 in flavipes but as in the genotype, i.e., much longer than wide, distinctly longer than the

 two joints of funicle (the two distinct funicle joints) unequal, the first quadrate, a little over 

 half the length of the pedicel, the dist.'il a little wider than long, barely shorter than the 

 preceding. Pedicel elongate. Abdomen conic-ovate. Postmarginal vein distinct, shorter than
