Avith the third to sixth segments shagreened ; petiole red to beyond 

 its centre ; apical margin of first segment, a basally triangular 

 and apically transverse mark on disc of second, and internally 

 constricted' lateral marks on the three following segments, 

 stramineous ; apical segment triangular, deplanate, smooth and 

 shining; anus densely fulvous-pilose; terebra about one-third

 and the front of their tibiae stramineous ; hind legs with the basal 

 half of the tibiae and the whole of the tarsi infuscate, coxae 

 ferruginous with black markings and an apical spot above, like 

 the base of their trochanters, flavous. Wings fulvesceut-hyaline, 

 with an iufumate fascia from the apex of the stigma to the 

 areolet, " the pedicle of the latter is about two-thirds of the 

 length of the basal branch of the transverse cubital nervure ; 

 the apical branch is bullated on the lower side" ; areolet emitting 

 the centrally broadly bifenestrate recurrent nervure nearly from 

 its centre.
