striolate ; metathoracic petiolar area short ; areola subpentagonal 

 and occasionally obsolete. Abdomen subcylindrical ; basal 

 segment laterally acute, with the petiolar glymmal sulci distinct ; 

 second segment longer than broad, with obsolete thyridii ; terebra 

 not extending beyond anus. Legs somewhat stout, with their 

 calcaria not extending beyond centre o metatarsus ; tarsal claws

 not small, emitting the recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; radial 

 cell not broad ; second discoidal externally subacute ; basal nervure 

 -continuous ; nervellus vertical and not intercepted. 



burster's typeless genus may be synonymous with that so well 

 set forth by Thomson ; but in any case his few words are quite 

 inadequate to justify the recognition of his name.
