J". Black, the following parts chestnut to Sanford brown ; most of 

 the fifth, sixth, and seventh antennal segments above, scape toward 

 apex, front tibia except spot on outer side at base, front tarsus, hind 

 and middle legs except coxae and trochanters, wing veins, second dorsal 

 segment except for 3 yellow spots, third dorsal segment except for 3 

 yellow spots and base, 2 spots and median apical border on fourth 

 dorsal segment, second ventral segment, third ventral segment except 

 near base; following parts pale chalcedony yellow; large spot on 

 clypeus above, emargination of eyes, upper part of front and vertex, 

 narrow line behind the eyes, fifth and sixth antennal segments beneath 

 except at extreme apex, antennal club beneath at base, pronotum above 

 except posteriorly, tegulae, large spot on pleura beneath, triangular 

 spot on each side of mesonotum in front, small median spot, spot on 

 each side next to tegulae, apex of scutellum, angles of propodeum, spot 

 at apex of anterior femur and base of tibia, broad subapical band on 

 first dorsal segment, 3 transverse spots on second and third, sinuate 

 subapical bands on fourth, fifth, and sixth dorsal segments and sub- 

 apical bands on fourth and fifth ventral segments. Wing stained with 

 yellow along costal margin ; head and thorax rather noticeably pubes- 

 cent. 



Front prominent, clypeus gibbous, emargination of eyes very nar- 

 row, almost acute, front and clypeus shallowly and rather obscurely 

 punctured, labial palpi with 3 segments, the last rather closely fused 

 to the preceding. Scape globular, third segment shorter than the 

 fourth, this not enlarged at apex, short pubescent throughout, fifth 

 and sixth but slightly enlarged at apex, third to seventh segment some- 

 what compressed, the seventh much widened at apex, about twice as 

 long as wide ; club short, ovate, somewhat flattened below at base, about 

 as long as segments 6 and 7. 



Mesonotum rather coarsely and closely punctate, the depressed area 

 more closely ; the scutellum more finely and closely punctate, also with 

 large scattered punctures, pleura with coarse punctures. 



Anterior tarsus ciliate, segments of legs with regular surfaces; 

 middle tibia flattened beneath and from an external view considerably 

 widened medially ; middle tibia about two-thirds as long as the tarsus ; 

 metatarsus slightly longer than the remaining segments united ; the 

 fourth segment slightly longer than broad ; hind tibia five-eighths as 

 long as the tarsus ; metatarsus as long as the following segments united ; 

 the fourth segment slightly longer than broad. Distance from r to R- 

 as great as that from r-m to Mo. 



Segments 2 to 5 of abdomen considerably contracted at base, dis- 

 tinctly punctate, punctures growing finer toward the apex; superior 

 processes of last segment acute, prominent, curved ; inferior margin 

 of the segment with 3 minute tubercles, second ventral segment with a 

 transverse prominence and a median groove, prominence of third seg- 

 ment bearing a longitudinal fossa, much broadened in front, on its 

 summit, sloping away posteriorly, its anterior face notched at apex.
