ing the eye margin, the vertex sloping cephalo-ventrad, the 
antenne inserted distinctly below the middle of the face yet 
still slightly above an imaginary line drawn between the ventral 
ends of the eyes, the bulbs rather widely separated, the scro- 
bicular cavity rather shallow, oblong, not reaching by some dis- 
tance to the cephalic ocellus. Scape long, cylindrical and slen- 
der, much longer than the club; an obconic pedicel, one ring- 
joint, three funicle joints, the second bevelled off at apex, the 
third oval and subpetiolate at apex, a two-jointed, short, conic- 
ovate club, its smaller distal joint terminating in a nipple-like 
spur; its proximal joint forming more than half of the whole 
region. Club only slightly wider than the funicle. Posterior 
tibiae armed with a single long acuminate spur; tarsi four- 
jointed. Marginal vein long and slender, only slightly shorter 
than the submarginal, the postmarginal and stigmal veins very 
short, the latter longer but with only a very short neck. Mar- 
ginal fringes very short. Abdomen with a very short petiole, 
usually not visible, conic-ovate, depressed, the second segment 
a fourth of its length, the third a half shorter, the fourth 
transverse, the fifth only slightly shorter than the third, lightly 
reticulated cephalad, the sixth longer than the third, densely 
reticulated, hairy. Abdomen widest at apex of the second seg- 
ment. Head and thorax opaque, rather densely reticulately 
punctate but the propodeum shining, brilliant and delicately 
reticulated, with a distinct, acute median carina, crossed by 
another short one at apex, the carina banded on each side by a 
deep longitudinal sulcus, whose lateral margins are carine and 
caudad join the ends of the short transverse carina; also the 
median carina at immediate base divides. Scutellum without 
longitudinal grooves, the parapsidal furrows obsolete, the meso- 
thorax bearing very long, black, isolated sete. Propodeal 
spiracle round. 
The male is the same but the abdomen is distinctly petiolate, 
oval, less pointed and angular, the genitalia exserted; also the 
antennal club is longer and more slender, the funicle joints all 
subpetiolate, the pubescence longer and softer; the first funicle 
joint is longer, as long as the more slender club. Segments
