convex at the base, flattened towards tlie apex. Eyes sepa- 

 rated on the vertex by a very narrow line ; the anterior 

 ocellus much larger than the others, which are oval and 

 separated by a longitudinal carina. Antennae shorter than 

 the mesonotum and scutellum combined, thickened towards 

 the apex, the second joint of the flagelium longer than the 

 first and third combined, the fifth joint as broad as long. 

 Mesonotum finely and rather closely punctured, scutellum 

 shining and almost smooth. Median segment and pleurae 

 very finely punctured, the median segment with a concave 

 depression rounded posteriorly, a narrow, smooth, triangular 

 area on the posterior truncation, the margins of the area 

 raised into carina? which converge before the apex of the 

 truncation. Abdomen shining, minutely punctured ; the 

 first segment concave-truncate at the base, densely clothed 

 with long greyish-white pubescence on each side of tlie trun- 

 cation ; the apical half of the second ventral segment very 

 stronoly transversely elevated, the basal and apical margins 

 of the elevated portion raised and forming strong carinse ; 

 sixth seo-ment with a small tubercle on eacli side near the 

 apical angles ; seventh dorsal segment rugosely punctured, 

 much longer than broad, subcarinate longitudinally in the 

 middle, slightly depressed and almost truncate at the apex. 

 Radial cell narrowly truncate at the apex, tlie appendiculate 

 cell not clearly defined, second cubital cell small, with a 

 short petiole, triangular, receiving the second recurrent 

 nervure just before the apex; the first recurrent nervure 

 received Ijy the first cubital cell, separated from the second 

 cubital cell by more than half the length of that cell on the 

 cubital nervure; third transverse cubital nervure not oblique, 

 slightly curved outwards, not nearly reaching the apex of the 

 radial cell. 



Black ; mandibles (except at the apex), clypeu=!, a line on 

 each side of the pronotum, tegulae, a spot on the mesopleurae, 

 a transverse band on each side on dorsal abdominal segments 

 1-6, narrowly interrupted in the middle on the second and 

 third segments, more broadly on the others and enclosing a 

 black spot on each side on segments 3-5, a baud on the third 

 ventral segment and a spot on each side of the second, and 

 the femora, tibiae, and tarsi beneath pale yellow. Wings 

 hyaline, stained with pale fulvous at the base, nervures testa- 

 ceous. Pubescence whitish, very close on the sides of the 

 median segment and on the seventh ventral segment. 



? . As in the male, but without the yellow spot on the 

 mesopleurffi, without the elevated process on the second 

 ventral segment; the sixth dorsal segment long, pointed at
