metathorax shining, rather coarsely rugose, the two 

 transverse lines very distinct and prominent, the lateral 

 lines not so distinct, being confounded with longitudinal 

 rugosities between the transverse lines ; middle area an 

 irregular hexagon twice as wide in front as behind, the 

 boundaries of the upper lateral areae twice as long as 

 those of the lower lateral areae ; back part of metathorax 

 without central lines, so that a postero-medial area is 

 not denned, the lateral areas terminating laterally in a 

 subacute process. Abdomen rather longer than head 

 and thorax ; 1st segment of abdomen distinctly acicu- 

 late ; basal half of the 2nd finely aciculate ; remainder 

 smooth and shining, with stiff scattered pubescence ; 1st 

 segment gradually sloping from base to apex ; sides of 

 post-petiole slightly rounding, about twice as long as the 

 width of the apex, this about four times as wide as the 

 base ; remaining segments transverse ; apex of 2nd the 

 widest ; from here gradually sloping to the apex ; in- 

 cisions between the segments very distinct ; aculeus 

 rather more than one-fourth the length of the abdomen. 

 Legs moderate. Areolet of wings pentagonal : outer 

 nervure wanting ; exterior inferior angle of discoidal 

 cell beyond the corresponding angle of areolet ; trans- 

 verse anal divided below the centre ; nervures of front 

 wing and stigma dark brown, the latter white at the 

 apex ; base of wing and first division of the costa pale, 

 a dark fuscous cloud running across the wing from the 

 stigma ; 1st, 2nd, and greater part of 3rd joints of 

 antennae, legs, apex of 1st, 2nd to 4th segments of abdo-

Head and thorax finely reticulate ; head transverse, 

 inner orbits parallel, face transverse, cheeks not buccated, 

 clypeus not distinctly separated from the face. Antennae 

 slender, rather swollen before the apex ; 1st joint of 

 flagellum about four times as long as wide, remainder 

 gradually decreasing in length ; 9th quadrate ; antennae 

 almost as long as the body. Thorax about one-half 

 longer than high ; metathorax with the two transverse 

 lines only moderately pubescent, slanting part with the
