?. Black; apical half of mandibles ferruginous; apical half of flagellum brownish below; the pubescence 

 white, except 011 the tarsi, where it is ferruginous; apical joints of tarsi rufous; calcaria testaceous ; wings hyaline, 

 the Stigma and nervures testaceous. L. 6 mm. 



Metanotal area closely, strongly reticulated-striated, the sides more distinctly striated, the Striae oblique. 

 Cljrpeus shining, very sparsely punctured on the apex, more closely on the base, the sides impunctate. Centre 

 of face broadly, raised, punctured; sides much more closely punctured, opaque. Pro- and mesothorax closely, 

 distinctly punctured, pleurae more closely and rugosely than the mesonotum; apex of metanotum transverse in 

 the middle above, without a smooth border. Abdominal segments closely, distinctly punctured, the basal more 

 strong than the apical, base and apices of the segments covered with a white pile; anal rima rufous, last 

 Segment fringed with golden hair; basal 3 abscissae of radius of equal length; recurrent nervure received at a

 Abdomen shining, impunctate, apices of the segments pale testaceous; anal rima blackish, sides except at the 

 apex distinctly margined, apex depressed, rounded behind, dark testaceous; labrum covered with stiff black 

 hairs, which give it a striated look. 3. transverse cubital nervure is broadly rounded; i. recurrent nervure is
