arc black down tlif iiiiilillc, punctured, the lower part finely 



siriiitod, finely at tlie l)ase, uiueli more stioni^ly at tlic apex; 



at tlie fop of the central hollow is a stout oblique keel. The 



inesopleural tubercles are large, leaf-like, ana extend fVoui 



the base to shortly beyond the middle; the part between the 



tubercles and the middle is raised and sparsely puncturelj 



the j)art above the raised part tlepressc I and black, the rest 



closely ])uncture(l except at the base, for the most part closely 



obliquely striated ; the apical furrow deep black and marked 



with stout widely separated keels. The central furrow on 



the mesosternum shallow, black, wider at the apex, where it 



IS bounded by a stout transverse partition. Metapleurai 



coarsely and closely punctur(;d. Legs stout, tlie hinder tarsi 



thickly spined. Areolet broad at the top, being there wider 



than the s[)ace bounded by the recurrent and the second 



transverse cubital nervures; the recurrent nervure is received 



beyond the middle almost at the base of the apical third. 



Petiole smooth, shining, inipunctate, the middle intuscated, 



the apex not clearly separated. Tlie second and following 



segments finely punctured. Gastrocoeli deep, smooth on the 



outer side, triangularly narrowed at the base on the inner, 



this part having two stout sharp keels on the outer edge, the 



rest being irregularly but strongly striated. The lower part 



of the petiole black, closely punctured, the centre stoutly, the 



sides more narrowly keeled.

$ . Antenna: thickened and compressed beyond the middle. 

 Apex of clypeus transverse ; the labrum large, projecting. 

 Mandibles with a large U]ii)er, clearly separated, conical tooth. 

 Scutellum flat, not bordered. Mediaix segment distinctly 

 aveolated all over, its apex with a gradually rounded slope. 

 Spiracles large, linear. Areolet narrowed at the top, the 

 transverse cubital nervures almost touching there; the trans- 

 verse basal nervure is almost interstitial. 'J'arsi spinose; the 

 apex of the hinder femora reaches to the middle of the third 

 abdominal segment. The ventral keel is distinct on the 

 second and third segments ; the la>t segment is largely deve- 

 loped all round and is two thirds the length of the penulti- 

 mate, its base reaches to the origin of the ovipositor. 



The head is w ell developed behind the eyes and is obliquely 

 narrowed there ; the occiput is margined j thoie is a distinct 

 fovea above the sides of the clypeus, from which a furrow 

 runs obliquely upwards ; the postsculelluin has a large deep 

 fovea on either side at the base ; the base of the median
