are deep and extend beyond the middle to the apical fourth. 

 Scutellum smooth, broadly, roundly convex ; the lateral keels 

 not high, of equal height ; metanotum very smooth and shining; 

 the sides are bordered by a keel. Propleurse weakly, the meso- 

 pleurpe more strongly and distinctly punctured ; the meta- 

 pleurse smooth, impunctate. First abdominal segment longer, 

 but not very much, than the width at the apex, smooth ; the 

 sides of the basal depression keeled. The 2"^' , 3'''^ and 4"' seg- 

 ments are closely punctured ; their apical transverse furrows 

 are shallow, crenulated, but not strongly or closely ; the ö'** 

 and 6"' are more weakly punctured, the apical smooth ; the 

 lateral transverse furrows on the basal 6 segments are deep. 

 There is a narrow, indistinct keel below the spiracles, the 

 spiracular area not being defined. The hind tibiae are not 

 spined ; the tarsi are spin ed at the apex. Areolet shortly but 

 distinctly appendiculated, the cubitus roundly curved, receiving 

 the recurrent nervure in the middle. Occiput pallid yellow, 

 immaculate. Mesopleurge with a narrow, shallow longitudinal 

 depression below the tegulae. 



Belongs to Krieger's Section A. a. The metanotal keels are 

 as in Krieger's figure of X. octonotata I. e. fig. 12. The group 

 of that species (Krieger's group D) — those with only trans- 

 verse keels — contains chiefly African species. 

 b. Areola closed laterally at the apex.
