 than it while the fourth is the next longest of the four yet wider than long; pedicel over half 

 the length of the funiele; the three club joints subequal in length. Marginal vein rather thick, 

 longer than wide. Mandibles short, truncate, one edentate, the other with a small outer tooth, 

 the inner broadly truncate. Antenna; 10-jointed. Club long.
