 scutellum not joining around apex. Parapsidal furrows running off laterad before reaching 

 pronotum, distinct. Axillae not advanced. Venation pale, the stigmal vein about a third the

 femur is dusky ventrad, the second tibia with a dusky band just below knee. There are six 

 stripes on abdomen counting the one at immediate base and the colored median line of 

 abdomen extends from the second cross-stripe to apex and is distinct. There is no spot on 

 the postscutellum or else it is faint. There are two metallic stripes across the face above 

 antennas, a short dash across meson just ventrad of antenme and laterad of each end of this, 

 a,n irregular spot. Type re-examined. A second female from forest, type locality, April 20, 

 1914.

The parapsidal furrows and whole of median line of scutum and scutellum are colored, 

 on the latter the narrow median stripe bulging centrally, thickening somewhat at center on 

 scutum. Abdomen with seven cross-stripes (counting one at extreme base and one at apex), 

 the median longitudinal stripe distad originating at stripe 4 and giving off a lateral curved 

 branch which runs eaudad to stripe 5, forming a W-shaped marking. 17 Propodeum wholly 

 metallic. Tyjie re-examined.
