 cJ o . A black species, with the legs mainly and the abdomen 

 partly red. Head : Irons, face, clypeus and external orbits with 

 dense long silvery pubescence ; mandibles, except apically, and 

 palpi pale tiavous and pilose; face and clypeus closely and rugosely. 

 Irons and vertex much more sparsely, punctate. Thorax strongly 

 punctate, becoming reticulate at the base of the mesonotum and 

 striate before the scutellum ; metanotuin closely punctate and 

 subtransversely striate, with no arete, but with a weak and curved 

 transverse basal carina, before which the punctation is obsolete ; 

 pleuri« closely and strongly striate, with the meta- and part of the 

 meso-pleura? distinctly punctate. Scutdlum convex, strongly and 

 closely punctate, substriate. Abdomen black, with a short apical 

 line on the second segment below and the remaining segments 

 (except irregularly above), rufesceut : fourth and sixth segments 

 with larger discal black marks ; terebra 1 millim. in length. 

 Legs : front pair (except basal femoral lines), apices of inter- 

 mediate femora \\ith their tibiae and tarsi, and the hind tibiio 

 (except sometimes apically), as well as all the calcaria, pale stra- 

 mineous. Wings clear hyaline, with the nervures and stigma 

 pale tiavous; areolet large, with its sides subcoalescent abovi', 

 emitting the recurrent nervure from its centre.
