 abdomen shining, the punctures on the basal segment coarser than 

 on the rest of the abdomen, the apical five segments densely 

 pubescent. Black, with a thin whitish pubescence on the head 

 and thorax ; the pubescence on the apical five segments fulvous ; 

 the antennae obscurely reddish beneath ; the apex of the tibiae and

 postscutellum, and the 2nd and following segments of the abdomen 

 finely punctured ; the basal segment of the abdomen, and the 

 basal margins broadly of the 2nd and 3rd segments smooth and 

 impunctate ; the median segment above convex, the sides sharply 

 and obliquely sloping inwards, finely longitudinally striate, the 

 apex vertically truncate, the margin of the truncation above and at 

 the sides with a raised carina ; also above, from the base of the 

 median segment, three central longitudinal subparallel carinas run 

 to the verge of the truncation, the space between the cariujo 

 obscurely transversely striate ; abdomen with the basal segment 

 strongly constricted at its posterior margin. Black, the pubescence
