posterior margin subangulated medially; mesoscutum about twice as wide 
as long; axillae twice as wide as long and acutely meeting medially; dise 
of seutellum rather convex, the sides and apex strongly elevated and 
declivous; propodeum sloping backward, very short medially, and moder-

ately long at the sides. Abdomen about one-half as long as the thorax, 
moderately convex below, and concave above behind the first tergite. 
Wings long and narrow, about 2.9 times longer than wide; marginal 
vein elongate and about three times as long as the stigmal, the latter 
short and triangularly enlarged towards apex, the postmarginal rapidly 
tapering and somewhat shorter than the stigmal; speculum narrow and 
passing into the bare area at the middle of the dise nearly opposite to 
the end of the submarginal vein; this partly bare basal area with a short 
row of setae at the posterior margin of the disc, connecting with a group 
of scattered setae just below the submarginal vein; rest of the dise 
densely setose, but the setae become finer and hyaline in two areas, one 
just beyond the apex of the stigmal vein, the other on the opposite side 
of the dise. 
Frontovertex with very fine, shallow, thimble-like puncturation which 
is slightly coarser and more evident than in flavipes or hemipterus, this 
sculpture becoming very delicate or hardly perceptible on the face, and 
absent on the cheeks, which are smooth and polished; frontovertex also 
with a row of fine pin-punctures along each orbit; mesonotum with fine, 
scaly reticulations, the mesoscutum being highly polished, the axillae and 
scutellum considerably duller, the reticulations on the seutellum becoming 
finer and at last obliterated towards the apex; both the scutum and 
scutellum with rather numerous fine, scattered pin-punctures which become 
somewhat thicker on the apical part of the scutellum; anterior part of 
mesopleura very delicately rugulosely reticulate, the posterior half becom- 
ing smoother; propleura and prepectal plates with delicate reticulations 
somewhat coarser than the sculpture of the mesoscutum; abdomen smooth 
and highly polished. 
Pubescence as described under the genus, the setae on the mesoscutum 
and scutellum moderately numerous, or considerably thicker than in /flavi- 
pes, the basal tergite of abdomen with a row of only about four setae 
on each side.
