 basin fuscis, aculeo abdominis dimidio paulo breviore. 



Scarcely shining ; bead transverse, slightly rounded behind the 

 eyes ; antennae a little shorter than the body, filiform, scarcely 

 attenuated at the apex ; teeth of mandibles equal length ; apex of 

 clypeus rounded ; face rather longer than wide, sericeous, a little 

 wider than the forehead ; eyes against the antennse, not at all 

 indented. Mesonotum very finely punctate ; costEe of metathorax 

 very prominent ; supero-medial area pentagonal, about as long as 

 wide, sides parallel, often obtuse in front, not closed behind ; 

 postero-medial area with rather faint transverse rugee, lateral areas 

 subdivided ; metathorax rather shining. Mesopleura finely punc- 

 tate below, striate above in front, smooth and shining behind. 

 First segment of abdomen almost straight ; post-petiole longer 

 than wide, sides slightly rounded in the female, scarcely so in the 

 male, longer and wider than the petiole, this and the rest of the 

 abdomen rather shining ; 2nd segment almost one-third longer than 

 wide ; remainder transverse ; aculeus rather more than one-third 

 the length of the abdomen. Legs moderate. Stigma rather 

 narrow ; wings with a petiolated areolet ; recurrent nervure 

 received beyond the middle, inferior-posterior angle of discoidal 

 cell acute, transverse anal ante-furcal, slightly geniculated nearly 

 at the bottom, emitting nervure very indistinct. 



Black ; scape beneath, mandibles, and palpi pale, varying from 

 reddish yellow to piceous ; tegulas, base of wings, and a spot 

 beneath, stramineous ; stigma fusco-testaceous ; extreme apex of 

 2nd segment of abdomen more or less obscure red, generally 

 distinct but narrow, sometimes obsolete, ventral fold stramineous. 

 Front legs red, intermediate ones red ; coxae black, apex sometimes 

 reddish ; trochanters fuscous-marked ; femora naore or less black 

 at the base ; hind legs, coxae, and trochanters black, the latter 

 reddish at the apex ; hind femora varies from almost red to 

 entirely blackish brown (the latter appears to be the commonest 

 form) ; base and apex of tibiae fuscous, middle and sometimes 

 slightly at the extreme base brownish red ; tarsi fuscous, extreme 

 base paler ; in the male the front and middle coxas beneath are 

 marked with yellow, and in one specimen entirely yellow. Male
