is very sharp (obtuse in the other species), tlie sculpture is somewhat coarser and there are 

 a few isolated seta) along lateral margin of scutum, the median carina of propodeum paired, 

 ■diverging gradually to apex (in the other species, forks a little proximad of the middle) ; there 

 is a sharp lateral carina from the spiracle which forms at apes the acute lateral apex of the 

 jiropodeal neck (lateral apex of propiodeal neck acute in Jonffiscapiis and the carina is present) ;
