face subquadrate, about the same width as the forehead. Thorax 

 longer than high ; mesonotum reticulate, with large close and 

 rather shallow punctures; metanoturn with a deep longitudinal 

 furrow ; lateral arese subdivided : supero-medial area longer than 

 broad, not closed behind, central groove is continuous frorn base 

 to apex. Abdomen long and slender, more than one-third longer 

 than the head and thorax, not so wide as the thorax; 1st segment 

 longer than the hind cox* and trochanters, petiole slender, about 

 as long as the post-petiole, the latter rather more than twice as 

 wide as the petiole, longer than broad, sides almost parallel ; 2nd 

 segment one-third longer than wide, 3rd quadrate, 4th, 5th, and 

 6th of equal length, one-third wider than long; abdomen pube- 

 scent at the sides and apex. Wings with a petiolated areolet ; 

 recurrent nervure received about in the middle of the areolet ;

Black; legs red, coxa? and trochanters black, middle femora 

 with a black streak in the middle behind, hind legs black, tibiae

It is impossible to be sure that this is really Forster's 

 species, because his description is so short : " Hind 

 tibiae distinctly notched before the apex, face dark brown,
