 parapsidal furrows complete, distinct; scutum with a small fovea at meson of caudal 

 margin. Postmarginal vein much longer than the stigmal. Abdomen subpetiolate. Mandibles 

 distinctly tridentate. Funicle joints all somewhat longer than the pedicel, 2 a little the 

 longest, about twice its own width, 1 wider than it; the two club joints a little shorter

 which are long, subequal, each about thrice or more longer than wide, longer than the club 

 joints; club with a distinct, conspicuous terminal seta; flagellum tapering. Mandibles 

 6-dentate, tridentate in the usual way, then with three comb-like teeth along the mesal

 (at about distal two thirds) two short dashes across meson side by side (that is near together, 

 cephalo-caudad) ; then a complete cross-stripe without a dash caudad of it; this distal stripe
