 thorax .20 mm.; length of metathorax .30 mm.; length of abdomen 

 1. 15 mm.; width of head across temples .45 mm.; width of prothorax 

 .36 mm.: width of metathorax .47 mm.; width of abdomen .50 mm. 



Head a little longer than wide: front evenly rounded; and sides 

 of forehead somewhat concave: temples converging rotundately, but 

 produced very slightly backward with sharply rounded posterior 

 angles; occipital margin nearly a straight line; eye with a conspicu- 

 ous black fleck; palpi considerably passing the margins of head; the 

 labral lobes quite conspicuously passing the margin of head; ground 

 color transparent, with a large, amber-colored, urn-shaped blotch oc- 

 cupying center of head, at the anterior end of which occurs a straight, 

 transverse bar of the same color; antennal fossa bordered posteriorly 

 with a faint blotch which extends toward the occipital angles; a faint, 

 narrow band surrounds two clear, circular areas abreast of the palpi; 

 12 prickles occur along the front margin, four prickles arise on each 

 side even with the antennae; two long hairs and five short ones arise 

 from each temporal border between the eye fleck and the occiput; a 

 broad, pale band borders the occipital margin. 



Prothorax, roughly hexagonal with rounded angles; the antero- 

 lateral facets with a weak hair and a longer one; a long hair and a 

 prickle at the postero-lateral angles; four prickles along the posterior 

 border; general color of segment faint amber, with a faint, narrow 

 band paralleling the margin, and with other faint, linear blotches. 

 Metathorax with a slight swelling on anterior third of sides, which 

 bear each two prickles; general color resembling that of prothorax, 

 with a central pale bordered blotch, and pale marginal bands. Legs 

 rather long, pale, with faint marginal bands. 



Abdomen with sides very flatly convex, subparallel; a long hair on 

 the posterior angles of segments one to seven, inclusive, and with a 

 prickle at the angles of segments one to three, inclusive: terminal 

 segment bluntly rounded, with four longish hairs and a fringe of ten 

 prickles; lateral bands almost colorless.
