 rugosely punctured, on the vertex more sparsely. Mandibles 

 strongly cjuadridentate. Ocelli placed more or less in foveae; 

 third joint of antennae elongate, distinctly longer than the fourth, 

 which is longer and much more slender than the 5th, the latter 

 considerably longer than broad, as also are all the following: 

 Pronotum with the hind margin smooth, in front of this with 

 large shallow punctures; mesonotum very sparsely, finely punc- 

 tured, smooth and shining, the parapsides indicated by exces- 

 sively short consute lines near the anterior margin; scutellum 

 and postscutellum impunctate or nearly. Propodeum, seen from 

 in front, bounded by a raised line posteriorly, which is bent for- 

 wards in the middle, the surface rugose; posteriorly with a 

 median area evidently, though not strongly defined, by raised 

 lines; this area being smooth and shiny except on its upper por- 

 tion. Abdomen smooth, impunctate; basal tooth of the chelar 

 'claw with a very long seta reaching to the apex of the claw. 

 Wings with the nervures strong, yellow, as also the stigma which

 verse cloud Hes beneath the stigma and marginal cell, occupying 

 also part of the latter. Length about 4.5 mm.
