anterior tarsi slightly ciliated, and their intermediate and posterior 
tibiae, as well as the first joint of the tarsi, spinose. 
The abdomen with the first, second, and base of the third 
segment, red, the margin of the red segments sometimes a little 
darker.

length 21—33 lines. 
Black: head delicately punctured; the antenne as thick as 
the anterior tibize and the clavolet nearly as robust as the scape, 
the joints very short; the apex of the mandibles rufescent ; 
the labrum transverse, exserted. 
The thorax short, pubescent, covered on the metathorax and 
beneath, and on the coxe of the legs, with a sericeous refiec- 
tion; the metathorax very delicately punctured and having a 
deep longitudinal central impression; the wings obscure, with 
their nervures piceous,—the apical edge very dark, the band ex- 
tending inwards as far as the marginal and submarginal cells, 
their third submarginal triangular; the legs with their anterior 
tarsi ciliated on the exterior, and the intermediate and posterior 
tibiz having on their outside a double row of spines. 
The abdomen, with the first, second, and base of the third 
segments, red; the margin of the remainder piceous; and the 
whole abdomen covered with a whitish reflection caused by a 
short close down.
