 thorax forming the posterior margin ; ocelli raised ; head very 

 convex posteriorly from one eye to the other, while both eyes

 twisted. Flagellum not incrassate, all the joints longer than wide. 

 Mesonotum very convex anteriorly. The rest of the thorax, as

 but the basal portion of the metanotum is shorter, extremely 

 short, convex, passing with a curve into the oblique portion which 

 is a little concave. Abdomen curved, rather narrow; pygidium 

 entire. Femora and trochanters foliaceous like the scape. Tibiae 

 slightly clavate towards their apical two-thirds. Pedicel deeply 

 ernarginate in front and posteriorly, twice as broad as long, rather 

 concave above. Beneath is a protuberance armed with a strong 

 tooth pointing backwards. Wings a little shorter than in -J?. 

 clavatus. Smooth and shining, with a scattered but distinct 

 puncturing. Pvgidium very smooth, nearly devoid of any punc-

 of the body nearly devoid of erect hairs. Pubescence yellow, 

 moderately plentiful, not hiding the sculpture. Yellow, a little 

 brownish around the mandibles. Head brown. Wings hyaline,

I quote Dr. Forel's very full description as the specimen in the 

 British Museum collection, which I identify as this species, is 

 darker and more punctured. It is probably only a variety.
