194 Psyche [December 
tenna, face rather finely and closely striato-punctate medially, 
more sparsely and coarsely punctate laterally; clypeus strongly 
convex, with a few large punctures; front reticulate medially to 
the ocelli, on the sides smooth and almost impunctate as are also 
the back of head and cheeks. Malar space one-third as long as the 
eye, not grooved, but with finely sculptured band from the eye to 
the mandible. Antennze 50-jointed, slender and tapering, not 
distinctly thickened medially; first, second and third flagellar 
joints gradually shorter, the third three times as long as thick and 
as long as the two following together; following all distinctly 
wider than long. Mesonotum polished, with a few scattered 
punctures on the anterior half, those on the median lobe closer 
together and elongated to form a semi-striate sculpture; parap- 
sidal furrows strong on anterior half, entirely absent behind. 
Scutellum strongly convex, with a deep impression at base that is 
bounded by high lateral carinee and bears a series of square foveze 
at its bottom. Propodeum coarsely irregularly rugose-reticulate, 
with large flattened teeth at the posterior angles; anterior trans- 
verse carina very weak, but complete; posterior slope deeply con- 
cave, the concavity extending above the lateral spines; viewed 
from the side the declivity is almost as long as the dorsal surface 
and nearly perpendicular. Propleurze almost smooth at top, else- 
where coarsely more or less horizontally wrinkled; mesopleura 
with a shining callosity at its upper posterior angle and a series of 
oblique wrinkles along the posterior edge, elsewhere irregularly 
rugose-reticulate, as are also the metapleurz and sides of the pro- 
podeum. Abdomen entirely smooth, impunctate and without 
trace of aciculations or other fine sculpture. Petiole sharply 
bent, strongly expanded at tip, with a complete carina passing 
through the spiracles and a large crescentic impression above each 
spiracle. Second segment with a curved impressed line on each 
side below the spiracle and a less distinct one passing through the 
spiracle. Tarsi and middle tibize strongly spinulose. Areolet 
large, its sides weakly convergent above; radial cell short and nar- 
row; submedian cell barely shorter than the median; disco- 
cubital vein simple; cubital vein entirely wanting beyond the 
areolet, transverse median vein in hind wing broken near lower 
third.
