 joint, the jiedicel small, wider than long, not half the li-ngtli nf the proximal funicle joint which 

 is the longest joint of the tlagellum. Distal club jciint cil)li(|uely truncate at tip. Distal funicle 

 joint slightly wiiler than hmg. tlie middle joints suliipi.-idrate. Scape sliort. simple. Posterior

Length, 6.1 mm. Rather large. 



Like the preceding but larger, more robust, the plate at apex of scutellum plainly 

 bidentate, the scape longer, the black parts of the legs darker and specifically the cejjhalie 

 tibiie are brown in the middle, the intermediate ones black along proximal half except at base 

 and the posterior ones black in the middle, their tips pale yellowish. The posterior femora 

 beneath bear nearly the same .arrangement of teeth but there are eleven followeil by a minute 

 tubercle; numbers 3 and 4 are larger than 2 and those distad of them. The posterior coxa' 

 bear a fiabellate enlargement of its apex above. The anteniue Ki-jointed; the dist:il funicle 

 joints more transverse than with pirflafiprx. Wings hyaline.
