Female—Head normal, not thin as seen from above, the 
antenne capitate, the club three-jointed, simple and ovate, much 
wider than the funicle, the latter three-jointed, short, clavate, 
the joints all wider than long and widening distad, the first 
transverse, the funicle shorter than the club; three subequal 
ring-joints, each of which is about half the length of the trans- 
verse proximal funicle joint. Scape cylindrical, moderate in 
length, the pedicel short, obconic but longer than any of the 
funicle joints, the club joints much longer than it. Marginal 
vein not half the length of the submarginal, nearly twice the 
length of the stigmal which is well-developed but not large, the 
postmarginal vein very short, not half the length of the stigmal. 
Marginal fringes short, the discal eiliation normal. Parapsidal 
furrows complete, the scutellum without longitudinal grooves, 
the tarsi four-jointed, the posterior tibize with one spur which 
is moderately long. Abdomen from dorsal aspect rounded oval, 
wider than the rest of the body, depressed and not as long as
