Antennae long, longer than the head and thorax united ; 

 the scape is thickly covered with white hair, its inner side is 

 red ; the flagellum is thickly covered with white pubescence. 

 Vertex alutaceous ; the ocellus is triangular behind ; front 

 covered with silvery pubescence ; there is a short, wide 

 furrow below the ocellus, a wide shallow one in the middle, 

 and a narrow deep one over and between the antennse. Face 

 and clypeus thickly covered with silvery hair ; the apex of 

 the clypeus smooth, bare, rufous. Mandibles broadly red in 

 the middle, the base thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; 

 there is a smooth bare line in the middle of the clypeus. 

 Thorax thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; the hair on 

 the pro- and mesonotum has a slight golden tinge. The base 

 of the raetanotum is alutaceous and thickly covered with 

 silvery pubescence ; the apical slope is transversely striated 

 laterally and in the middle near the apex. The prosternum 

 is furrowed down the middle; the furrow is bordered by two 

 keels ; the apex has an oblique slope, is slightly hollowed 

 and broadly margined above. Mesosternum thickly covered 

 with white pubescence ; the metasternal process is keeled in

 usual, the apical four joints rufous ; the tarsal spines are long 

 and black ; the claws long, curved, and rulbus. Wings 

 hyaline, with a slight yellowish tinge on the base ; the 

 stigma and nervures pale yellowish testaceous. The apical 

 abscissa of the radius is long, straight, and slightly oblique ; 

 the first cubital cellule on the top is slightly shorter than the 

 second ; the first transverse cubital nervure is curved ; the 

 second recurrent nervure is roundly elbowed in the middle, 

 and is received shortly behind the middle. Abdominal seg- 

 ments with broad pruinose bands on their apices ; the 

 pygidium shining, smooth, the apex punctured, the sides 

 and apex sparsely haired ; the hypopygium is sparsely 

 punctured and rufous round the edges.
