9. Apparently closely allied to pnhjacaniha Per. but differing; 

 from it in the closely punctured niesonotum and the greater number 

 of spines on the apical portion of the tibi?e. Head and thorax black, 

 face below the antennae including the labrum and mandibles except 

 at the apex, the orbits of the eyes, the antennae, with the exception 

 of the intermediate joints which are fuscous, the pronotum, tegula>, 

 tubercles, scutcllum, post-scutelluuiand almost the entire mesopleuroe 

 rufotestaceous ; legs and abdomen entirely of that colour, wings 

 broAvn with a very conspicuous clear spot beyond the 3rd submarginal 

 cell. Face clothed with short scattered pale hairs, labrum with a 

 small tubercle near the middle, clypeus shining, finely and rather 

 remotely punctured, face l>el()W the antennae rallier remotely, above 

 them closely ])unctured ; antenna; witli the 2nd and 3rd joints of 

 the flagellum subeqiuil, the 3rd an<l following joints subquadrate ; 

 mesonotum shining, closely and deeply 'punctured, the intervals 

 between the punctures much narrower than the punctures them- 

 selves, scntellum slightly raised into two obtu.se tubercles largely 

 and less closely ])unctured than the thorax, propodeum finely 

 rugulose, its area more or less clathrate at the base, each side with 

 a patch of .silvery white hairs ; posterior tibia?, with their external 

 apex densely clothed with black spines numbering probably 20 

 or more but so closely packed that I find it impossible to count 

 them ; abdomen very shining, short oval, 1st segment impunctate 

 or nearly so, the rest finely and regularly ])Unctured on the basal 

 half, impunctate on the apical, 5th fringed with whitish hairs at 

 the apex, 2nd and following .segments more or less clotlied with 

 silvery hairs at the sides. 

 Long. 8 mm.

($ 9- Exceedingly like pammjina, Mor., head and thorax black, 

 mouth parts, labrum, clypeus in the 9, antenna', pronotum, tegula3 

 scutellum and post-scutellum, mesopleura; and sterna ferruginous- 

 red, in the 9 > 2 spots on the scutellum and 1 on the po.st- 

 scutellum and a small .'^pot on the mesopleura) only in the ^ ; 

 abdomen ferruginous-red, its base and a lateral spot at the ba.se
