9. Head large, cubical; eyes oval, temples as broad as 
the eyes ; cheeks long, more than half as long as the eyes, 
slightly concave. Face sparsely and rather finely punetured, 
sparsely clothed with long brown hairs; vertex and front 
smooth and shining, the front between the anterior ocellus 
and the base of the antenne rather deeply excavated, the 
concave area not reaching the eyes. ‘Thorax smooth and 
shining ; notauli narrow but distinct ; scutellum not separated 
by a groove from the mesonotum. Median segment shining ; 
with a few small scattered punctures, each bearing a black 
hair; the sides of the segment and the hind coxe more 
closely punctured. First tergite about half as long again 
as broad, the marginal lateral carine very strong, the longi- 
tudinal lateral grooves transversely rugulose; the raised 
median portion with two longitudinal caring, the space 
between them smooth and shining, the space between them 
and the lateral grooves longitudinally rugulose. Second 
tergite broadened from tle base, twice as broad at the apex 
as long, irregularly obliquely striated ; with a large, smooth, 
and shining diamond-shaped basal area, from the apex of 
which a carina runs to the apex of the segment; second 
suture strongly crenulate; tergites 3-5 smooth and shining, 
the basal angles of the third with an area separated from the 
rest of the tergite by a shallow groove. The apical tergites 
testaceous brown, microscopically punctured, and sparsely 
clothed with fulvous hairs. Hypopygium pointed, projecting 
beyond the apical tergite ; valvule clothed with very short 
hairs. Legs densely clothed with short hairs; hind meta- 
tarsus as long as the three following joints combined ; calearia
