 segment is only shghtly twisted and from above is essentially male 

 in character, with two well developed stipes. Anteriorly, beneath 

 and to the right of these, is what is evidently a short, aborted 

 sting, without any part of its sheath. 



The absence of either wings or tegulse on the otherwise gj^nan- 

 dromorphous thorax, the queer structure of the tip of the gaster 

 which has both of the male secondary sexual appendages and in 

 addition an imperfect sting, and the crossed nature of the sides are 

 very different from the conditions in either of the previously 

 known examples.
