EEE LEE À 
punetured; the middle near the seutellum is irregularly lou- 
gitudinally striated. Scutellum shining, covered with long 
pale hair; the post-seutellum black on the base; the base 
deeply and widely bifoveate; the depression at the base of 
scutellum smooth, deep; at the sides of the post-seutellum they 
are larger, wider and bear a few stout keels at the base; 
the sides of the mesonotum, outside the post-seutellum pro- 
ject; the projection is stoutly bordered and, on the outerside, 
forms a hollow triaugle. At the base of the median segment, 
in the middle, is a deep, rounded depression; the lateral basal 
areae are strongly punctured, smooth on the innerside; the 
areola is twice longer than broad, the basal half is distinetly 
narrowed towards the base; the apex is transverse; in the 
middle are 3 stout, longitudinal keels, the middle one being 
straight, the outer twisted; joined to the sides are a few 
transverse keels.. The posterior median area is of equal 
width throughout and closely transversely striated ; the outer 
apical areae are much more stontly transversely striated ; the 
spiracular area is closely punctured at the base, the apex is 
elosely transversely striated. The base of the propleurae is 
smooth, the rest punctured, but not elosely or deeply ; the 
apex, except above, stoutly striated; the metapleurae are more 
strongly and elosely punctured, Mesosternum closely punetured, 
the middle deeply furrowed ; the furrow triangular and deeply 
enlarged at the apex. The 4 anterior legs are rufo-fulvons ; 
the coxae and trochauters white; the apical joint of the front 
and the whole of the middle tarsi black; the hinder legs 
black, the middle of their coxae behind, the trochanters and 
the extreme base of their femora, rufous ; the ealearia white; 
the hinder tibiae are thickly covered with rufous spines. Wings 
hyaline, with a slight fulvous tinge; the stigma and outer 
nervures fuscous ; the basal blackish ; the areolet narrowed at 
the top, being there hardly one half of the length of the 
space bounded by the recurrent and the 2nd transverse cubital 
nervures: the 1st transverse cubital nervure has a more 
sharply oblique slope than the 2nd, which is thinner and 
fainter: the reeurrent nervure is roundly curved and is twice 
bullated ; it is received shortly beyond the middle of the 
areolet; the transverse median is received shortly iu front of 
the transverse basal. Abdomen black: the apex of the pe- 
tiole, of the 2nd segment more broadly and ofthe 3rd broadly 
at the sides, pale yellow. The petiole is smooth and shining ; 
the sides of the post-petiole strongly punctured; the 224 and 
3rd segments are elosely punetured ; the base of the 2ud is 
elosely strongly punetured in the middle, more finely and 
closely at the sides ; the gastrocoeli oblique, dull brownish and 
smooth at the apex, The petiole beneath is elosely longitu-
