c? $ . An entirely testaceous species, with the antennae, terebi-a 

 and apices of the \vings alone infuscate; postpetiole dull and 

 <leeply punctate. Head ilavidous, transverse and very strongly 

 constricted behind the prominent and brownish eyes; occiput 

 glabrous and nitidulous, finely bordered posteriorly, with a few 

 scattered punctures ; ocelli iufuscate and elevated upon a common 

 plateau; irons glabrous, with the scrobes large and extending 

 nearly to the ocelli ; face deplauate, with a few scattered punc- 

 tures and hairs, centrally subelevated longitudinally and distinctly 

 discrete from the deplanate and apically emarginate clypeus ; 

 mandibles not very stout, with the infuscate teeth, of which the 

 upper i.s the longer, apically obtuse ; cheeks somewhat shorter 

 than the basal breadth of the mandibles: eyes only slightly 

 emarginate next the scrobes. Antennas black, somewhat shorter 

 than the body and apically attenuate ; of <j> with scape beneath, 

 of d" with the whole scape and underside of the flagellum, 

 testaceous ; joints cylindrical and not elongate. Thorax glabrous, 

 strongly nitidulous, with sparse flavous pubescence on the meta- 

 thorax ; notauli anteriorly distinct ; metathoracic area) entirely 

 wanting, but with distinct sparse and tine punctation ; spiracles 

 small, oval and facing towards apex. Sotttetbtm glabrous and not 

 convex, with a few erect ilavidous hail's. Abdomen fusiform- 

 cylindrical and broadest centrally, entirely testaceous or rufesceut, 

 .strongly punctate throughout, with the apical angles of the seg- 

 ments prominent ; basal subquadrate or in tf a little longer than 

 apically broad, laterally canaliculate on either side and in <$ 

 strongly carinate; the four or five following segments deeply 

 incised transversely at their apical third, the incision becoming 

 laterally confluent with another which rises obliquely from the 

 depressed base ; venter of 3 alone basally plicate, its valvulso 

 small, pilose, blackish and hardly exserted ; terebra black, slightly 

 longer than the abdomen, with the valvulae slender and pilose. 

 Leys short and stout, testaceous, with the stout, basally strongly 

 lobate claws, which in hardly extend beyond the pulvilli, alone 

 blackish ; front femora and tibia? simple, their calcaria curved. 

 Wings not broad, strongly flavescent, with the external margin 

 broadly, or in $ the apical third, infumate ; radix, tegula? and 

 stigma testaceous, the costa concolorous, becoming blackish at its 

 apex; radius in J curved above the somewhat oblique areolet, 

 'which emits the recurrent nervure from near its apex ; lower 

 wings with first recurrent subopposite and emitting the nervellus 

 distinctly below its centre ; costa in c? narrowly black at emission
