Allied to the preceding several species, with which it agrees 

 in sculpture, clothing, etc., but the propodeum is much more 

 abruptly raised into a hump-like form, its profile forming a much 

 stronger curve, and the summit of the hump is quite deeply 

 fissured in the middle to form a prominence on either side. 

 Length about 3 mm.

 seventh, eighth and ninth a little longer than wide. Pronotum 

 shining, smooth, impunctate, or nearly so; propodeum shining 

 and smooth in front; posteriorly transversely strigose, not pilose.

 as long as the scape and very distinctly shorter than the 

 third. Mesonotum with the parapsidal furrows obsolete or 

 extremely faint, clothed with very short pubescence when not
