from the face, foveate at the sides above; labium liLlden. 

 Mandibles stout ; the apical two teeth large, the upper the 

 larger and blunter at the apex. Meso- and metanotum 

 stoutly reticulated ; the supramediaji area smooth, open at 

 tiie a])ex, the keels continued to the ajjex of tiie sesjment, 

 roundly diverging as they do so. Legs stout, the penultimate 

 joint of the liinder tarsi spined. Areolet three-angled, the 

 transverse cubital nervures uniting at the top ; there is hardly 

 an angle formed by the recurrent nervure and the cubital ; 

 the apical abscissa of the radius is roundly curved upwards at 

 the base ; the transverse median nervure is received distinctly 

 in front of the transverse basal. The base of the petiole 

 narrow, the apex broadly dilated. Gastrocoeli large, deep. 

 Abdomen ( ? ) with eight segments ; the ventral fold extends 

 to tlje apex of the third segment; tlie second and third 

 segments are closely longitudinally striated. Eyes widely 

 distant from the base of the mandibles, hardly reaching to 

 the top of the clypeus. 



Tliis genus is closely related to Magrettia, which differs 

 from it in having the scutellum flat, not pyramidal, and 

 incised at the apex ; the hind coxaj bear teeth and the second 

 and third abdominal segments are not longitudinally striated.

Head bluish black ; the face, clypeu;*, the U))per orbits on 

 the innt-r side narrowly, and the outer on the lower broadly, 

 yellow ; between the antennae and the base of the clypeus is 

 a broad bluish mark, which becomes slightly and gradually 

 dilated towards the apex; mandibles yellow, the teeth black. 

 The face somewhat strongly, the clypeus more slightly, punc- 

 tured. Antennae black, the middle with abroad white band; 

 beyond the wiiite band they aie dilated and compressed; the 

 apex distinctly attenuated. The sides of the pronotura 

 broadly, its base, the base of the teguke, tubercles, the sides 

 of the scutellum, the lower part of the pro- and mesopleurai 

 (the latter broadly), and the metapleurae in front of tiie coxse,
