Antennfe long, longer than the head and thorax unite 1; 

 the scape is thickly covered with white hair, its inner side is 

 red ; the dagellum is thickly covered with white pubescence. 

 Vertex alutaceous ; the ocellus is triangular behind ; front 

 covered with silvery pubescence ; there is a short, wide

 and a narrow deep one over and between the antennje. Face 

 and clypeus thickly covered with silvery hair ; the apex of 

 the clypeus smooth, bare, rutbus. Mandibles broadly red in

 there is a smooth bare line in the middle ot the clypeus. 

 Thorax thickly covered with silvery pubescence ; the hair on

 keels ; the apex has an oblique slope, is slightly hollowed 

 and broadly margined above. Mesosternum tiiickly covered

 the first cubital cellule on the top is slightly shorter than the 

 second ; the first transverse cubital nervure is curved ; the 

 second recurrent nervure is roundly elbowed in the middle, 

 and is received shortly behind the middle. Abdominal seg-
