black ; the face, clypeus, labrum, mandibles (except the 

 teeth), palpi, the inner orbits narrowly above to the end of 

 the eyes, and the lower orbits more broadly, from near the 

 top, yellow ; the apex of the clypeus, with the teeth, black. 

 The face is closely and rather strongly punctured, especially 

 in the middle ; the clypeus more sparsely and finely 

 punctured ; the mandibular teeth deep black. Thorax 

 black ; the prothorax, scutellum (except at the apex), the 

 post-scutellum, the median segment from shortly above the 

 teeth, the mesopleurae (except round the edges), the 

 metapleurai, except at the base — above from the spiracles, 

 and a line on the sides of the mesosternum (not extend- 

 ing to the apex), yellow. The mesonotum is shagreened ; 

 the scutellum is smooth ; the median segment very smooth 

 and shining ; the basal central area is large, obliquely 

 narrowed towards the apex ; the supramedian is longer 

 than broad ; transverse at the base, where its sides are 

 oblique ; the apex is rounded inwardly ; the spines are 

 long, sharp, broad at the base. The propleurai are smooth, 

 except for a band of stout striations on the apex ; the base 

 and apex of the mesopleura crenulated ; in the middle is a 

 shallow, irregularly striated furrow ; on its lower side is a 

 wide and deep furrow which is irregularly and indistinctly 

 striated. Legs pale fulvous; the coxae and trochanters 

 pallid yellow ; the hinder legs of a darker and deeper 

 fulvous colour ; the coxae yellow, with a large black 

 irregular mark on the apex, above ; the trochanters 

 broadly at the base above, the base and apex of the 

 femora narrowly, the apex of the tibiae more broadly, 

 black ; the tarsi white ; the base and apex blackish. 

 Wings hyaline, iridescent ; the stigma and nervures dark 

 fuscous ; the areolet, at the top, is about one half the 

 length it is at the bottom ; below it is angled where the 

 recurrent nervure is received near the middle ; the second
