with large scattered punctures and longitudinal striae as far as 
posterior ocelli, furrow extending down from anterior ocellus, 
almost obsolete; vertex with large punctures and finer striae; 
ocelli in a nearly equilateral triangle ; eyes large; antennae punc- 
tate, rather stout, articles 3 and “4 subequal. Prothorax above 
with cervical part, first with transverse and then with longitudinal 
striae, pronotum with large scattered punctures except on sides; 
scutum with three carinae; scutellum large, almost impunctate, 
mesopleurae sparsely punctured ; propodeum stout sparsely punc-

wings hyaline. Coarsely punctate. Clypeus truncate with the 
transverse apical portion thin and yellowish, the thick emargi- 
nate basal portion punctate and with a low median tubercle ; 
ocelli forming nearly an equilateral triangle. A tubercle 
above the base of each antenna; frons coarsely and closely punc- 
tate ; vertex not so closely punctate, sparsely so posteriorly. Dor- 
sum of thorax punctate, hardly so on posterior part of pronotum, 
scutum rather sparsely punctate, with a few transverse and lateral 
rugae, scutellum rather finely punctate; propodeum rather 
coarsely rugose or rugose punctate, somewhat areolate mesially 
above; wings normal. Abdomen above with fine hair punctures, 
beneath with alternate antero-posterior bands of coarser and finer 
and closer punctures; sternite before spine gently emarginate ; 
ventral side of spine with coarse punctures. Genitalia: Outer 
lobe of stipes narrower than in striatella, middle lobe bilobed, 
inner lobe blunt ; median portion with a thin flat process or flagel-

form according as to whether it is more or less distended or 
buckled.
