„Black, clothed with a very dense and very long setose black 
pubescence turning to greyish on the underside of the abdomen, and 
less distinctly so on the anterior part of the pronotum; abdomen sub- 
sessile, ovate, second segment with a narrow apical border of white 
pubescence; wings sub-hyaline at the base and infuscated for the 
greater part of the length. — Head broader than long, deelpy and 
very closely pitted, eyes not emarginate inwardly, about equi-distant 
from the insertion of the mandibles and from the hind margin which 
is straight with the angles slightly rounded; ocelli very distinct; 
second antennal joint one-third shorter than the third; thorax as

of the thorax, the suture with mesonotum is indistinct, the mesonotum 
itself has no keelor carinule; the scutellum is broadly arcuate, very

peduncle very slanting, carinate on each side underneath and having 
a very sharp median keel all along the length; it is less broadly: and 
deeply pitted than the ampliate second segment, the slightly elongate 
punctures of which are nearly contiguous; the punctuation of the other 
segments is finer, but the last segment is closely punctate, not striate; 
gpures of tibiae black; wings infuscate but more hyaline towards the 
base, radial cell truncate at apex, stigma very smal, three closed
