 temples wanting ; eyes deeply emarginate, the emargination broad and 

 rounded, distant from each other by three-quarters the length of the 

 scape; ocelli in a very broad triangle, situated well up on the vertex, 

 the posterior much closer to the eyes than to each other ; front convex, 

 without tubercles ; clypeus strongly convex, shield-shaped, emarginate 

 anteriorly; mandibles acute, Avith two small preapical teeth on the 

 inner margin ; ligula very long, slender and retractile ; the labial 

 palpus consisting of a single segment, the apical portion of which is 

 partially marked off as a short incomplete second segment ; maxillary 

 palpus consisting of two short, slender segments. Antenna a little 

 shorter than the thorax, strongly clavate ; the scape and pedicel of 

 nearly equal length, globose, the third segment cylindrical, a little 

 longer than the pedicel, nearly as long as segments 4 to 5, these as 

 broad as long, 6 and 7 broader than long, segments 8 to 12 fused into 

 a solid, large, oval club, convex above and slightly flattened below, the 

 divisions between the segments distinct beneath ; the ninth and tenth 

 segments in a depression beneath bear the cupuliform organs described 

 by Saussure. 



Humeri angulate; parapsidal furrows wanting; tegula long, cov- 

 ering the base of the scutellum, pointed, the outer margin weakly 

 sinuate ; scutellum rather flat ; propodeum raised on each side near its
