the base of the aiitoiin;e by a distanee nearly i(|iuil to twiee 

 the UMiu;th ot" tlie scaiK", third joint of the thij^elhnu almost 

 equal to tiie second. Posterior ocelli as far from tiie eyes 

 as from each other. Head and thorax very finely and 

 elosely punctured, niesopleurse horizontally striated on the 

 upper portion, finely punctured on the lower portion, tlie 

 earinie as in ciliatus; the transverse groove at the base of 

 the seutellum foveolate, but very narrow and indistinct 

 in the midille. Median segment coarsely longitudinally 

 striated, less coarsely on the basal area tiuin el>ewhere. 

 Abdomen very finely punctured, the basal segment short, 

 about half as broad at the apex as the second segment ; 

 pygidial area elongate-triangular, very narrowly truncate at 

 the a[)ex. Fore tarsi very strongly eiliate, the apical joint 

 much swollen, the pulvilli large ; hind tiljiie spinose ; inter- 

 mediate tibi;e with two strong apical spines, the one much 

 longer than the other. Second abscissa of the radius very 

 short, not more than one-eighth of the length of the third, 

 cubitus of the hind wing originating at a distance beyond 

 the transverse median nervure sliglitly exceeding the length 

 of that nervure.

This is closely allied to perkinsi and ciliatus, but the 

 sculpture of the median segment is \ery different.

^ . Clypeus broadly truncate at the apex ; eyes strongly 

 convergent towards the elypcus, separated at tlie base of 

 tlie antennje by a di>tance about half as great again as the 

 length of the scape ; posterior ocelli much farther from each 

 other than from the eyes. Apical joint of the flagellum 

 verv strongly curved, with a small spine at the base, scarcely 

 longer than tlie i)cnnltimate ; joints H-\ 1 slightly produced 

 at the apical angle, but not sufficiently to form a spine. 

 Pronotum narrow and transverse ; mesopleurtc with a 

 distinct vertical carina in front, the mesosternum separated 

 from the mesopleurfe by a carina, the upper part of the 

 mesopleur^e horizontally striated, the lower part rugulose.
