spur of hind tibia about three-fourths as long as first joint of hind 
tarsus; tarsal claws long, slender and simple; wings ample, mar- 
ginal cell truncate and appendiculate. Abdomen stout, a little 
depressed and abscess dull and very finely reticulate; apical 
sericeous bands on 1, 2 and sides of 3; pygidial area well mar- 
gined, narrow, tapering rather bluntly, sides constricted, apex with 
several very small and inconspicuous short finger-like processes ; 
disc rugulose, nearly twice as long as wide at base, with a rather 
irregular median carina. Golden pubescence on clypeus frons, 
genae, part of occiput and slightly at porterior angles of scutum. 
Otherwise nearly devoid of hair. 
Male, allotype: length, 11.3 mm. Colored as in the 9 ; clypeus 
about as in @ except that the lateral emarginations of the pro- 
duced portion are more pronounced, forming an acute tooth later- 
ally; mandibles very long and curved; antennae with article 3 
longer than 4. Sculpture as in @ with following exceptions: 
propodeum with the posterior face more gently sloping, the disc 
distinctly margined except posteriorly ; narrowed at base and 
nearly flat ; rather finely graulate except along borders, where it is 
somewhat rugose striate; shallowly sulcate; a smooth median 
place on posterior border ; the pleurae and most of posterior face
