bright flavous with only its apex black above, the anterior legs

3 . Head black ; face and clypeus closely, uniformly, and some- 

 what coarsely punctate, with dense dark pilosity ; epistoma closely 

 trans-aciculate above ; mandibular teeth testaceous, palpi flavous. 

 Antenna; entirely black, with short black pubescence ; scape with 

 dense long black pubescence beneath. Thorax immaculate; meso- 

 notum closely punctate, with dense dark pubescence ; metanotum 

 with dense long silvery hairs, closely trans-aciculate and centrally 

 canaliculate ; propleurae nitidulous, aciculate above, apically sulcate 

 and carinate ; mesopleura? strongly punctate, with silvery hairs, 

 strongly striolate below the radices, basally sulcate throughout, 

 with the oblique impression strongly subtransversely striolate, 

 and the apex longitudinally aciculate ; metapleurse finely rugose, 

 centrally carinate, with the carina abruptly curved basally before 

 the spiracles. Scutellum coarsely rugose, with long pale pilosity, 

 and laterally excavate and glabrous. Abdomen red, with the basal 

 segment entirely, the second discally, and the fourth to anus 

 broadly tinged with, black. Legs testaceous; coxa?, posterior 

 trochanters, and hind femora black ; front legs flavidous and 

 intermediate femora rufescerit ; hind tibiae red and densely spinose. 

 with their apices and tarsi black. Wings clear hyaline ; nervures 

 and stigma dark ; areolet petiolate with its sides curved, emit- 

 ting the recurrent nervure from its apical third. 



Length 9 millim. 



2 . Agreeing in every way with the above description, except 

 that the two basal segments and the basal half of the third are 

 black, with the anus entirely red, the intermediate femora also 

 black, and the distinctively spinulose hind tibia? bear a dark band 

 before their pale base. The areolet is strongly oblique, with its 

 inner nervure almost shorter than its petiole ; the radius exter- 

 nally straight, and the basal nervure not quite continuous ; the 

 radius of hind wings about a third longer than the recurrent, and 

 the nervellus quite straight. The metathoracic spiracles are 

 linear, and the terebra extends but slightly beyond the apex of 

 the abdomen. 



Length 12 millim.
