are obsolete and the deplanate mandibles mainly whitish ; the 

 metathoracic spiracles are circular and somewhat large, the meta- 

 notum is evenly convex, with large punctures and no carinse ; the 

 abdomen is strongly punctate throughout, with conspicuous 

 tubercles; the basal segment is hardly longer than broad, with 

 the sides margined but the disc not carinate : the four basal seg- 

 ments, except the apices of the apical three, are entirely bright 

 castaneous, with no flavous tinge ; the sixth and seventh segments 

 alone are apically broadly, and the anterior legs entirely, pale 

 stramineous ; the tarsal claws are strongly locate ; the second 

 recurrent nervure emitted from the apex of the strongly 

 oblique areolet, and the basal is subcontinuous through the 

 median.

 the anus black, and the apices of the sixth and seventh narrowly 

 flavous ; terebra shorter than abdomen and about half the length 

 of the body (5 millim.). Leys: anterior pairs pale flavous, with a 

 fulvescent tinge ; hind pair rufo-fulvous throughout. Wings 

 hyaline, with the nervures and stigma black ; tegul pale
