apex) yellow ; tlic a])ex of the liiiitler femora, the base of the 

 liimlcr tibite narrowly, and the apex of the hinder tibiie more 

 broadly, blaek. AVin^s hyaline; the costa, stigma, and 

 nervures blaek ; the areolet is square ; the second transverse 

 cubital nervure is faint; the recurrent nervure is received 

 shortly behind the middle of the areolet. Abdomen black, 

 the apex of the first, second, third, and the whole of the apical 

 two segments yellow ; tiie petiole is smooth and shining, 

 from the sides near the middle two fine keels run to the base 

 of the yellow part ; the middle segments are finely shagrcened. 

 Mesosternum smooth and shining ; the middle furrow is 

 closely transversely striated.

The lower part of the front, the face, and clypeus arc 

 densely covered with silvery pubescence. Clypeus short, its 

 apex broadly rounded, the lateral foveee large and deep. 

 The hinder ocelli are separated from each other by a dis- 

 tinctly less distance than they are from the eyes. Antennae 

 stouter than usual. Prothorax longer than usual, its base 

 transverse, its sides slightly obliquely narrowed at the base; 

 the apex is also transverse. Median segment transversely 

 rugosely punctured, the punctures running into reticulations 

 in the middle ; it is thickly covered with silvery pubescence, 

 which is distinctly longer and thicker on the apex. There is 

 a Avide, shallow, oblique depression before the middle of the 

 propleurffi, and a shorter, oblique, wider one on the apex 

 above. The first cubital cellule at the top is slightly but 

 distinctly shorter than the second ; the first transverse cubital 

 nervure is oblique and roundly curved ; the second is not so 

 oblique and is distinctly rounded; the first recurrent nervure 

 is received shortly beyond the middle, the second behind the 

 middle; the transverse basal nervure is almost interstitial. 

 The four posterior coxce, trochanters, and femora are bri'>-ht 

 red ; the anterior femora and tibia3 are obscure red in front. 

 Abdomen shining ; the petiole has a distinct neck at the 

 base. In the hind wings the accessory nervure is longly 

 appendiculated.
