J*. Black, following parts Naples j'ellow : line entirely surrounding 

 eyes except beneath ; clypeus, labrum, mandibles, large spot on front, 

 scape except at base, spot on pedicel, entire tlagellum except reddish 

 infuscated area at apex of club, humeri, spot on pronotum below, pos- 

 terior border of pronotum, tegulae, large spot below, small transverse 

 spot at apex of scutellum, angles of propodeum, spot on anterior and 

 middle femur and trochanter beneath, anterior femur beneath and at 

 apex above, middle and posterior femur at tip, all tibiae and tarsi, the 

 latter reddish at apex, slightly incised subapieal stripes on all dorsal 

 segments, spot and truncature of the last dorsal segment, spot on sides 

 of ventral segments 2 to 5. 



Posterior ocelli distant from the compound eyes by the length of 

 their diameter; front but slightly impressed beneath the anterior 

 ocellus, raised above the bases of the antennae to a low tubercle, rather 

 closely but weakly punctate ; the clypeus moderately convex subobso- 

 letely punctate ; labial palpus a single long slender segment without 

 sign of subdivision ; the maxillary palpus a very small cliitinized bulb. 

 Antennal segments 3 to 5 cylindrical, not widened at their apices, the 

 sixth slightly widened at its apex, the seventh more strongly but longer 

 than wide ; the club ovate, a little shorter than the sixth and seventh 

 segments together, strongly convex above and below. 



Humeri marked by a feeble ridge ; pronotum rather closely punc- 

 tate ; mesonotum densely punctate, the posterior flattened portion more 

 coarsely ; scutellum moderately convex, closely punctate ; pleura with 

 large separated punctures ; angles of the propodeum mucronate. 



Under surfaces of anterior femur and tibia flattened, regular ; 

 tarsus not with fringe of cilia ; middle femur with under surface con-
