delicate reticulate surface sculpture; very finely, shallowly and somewhat 
remotely punctate; hairy clothing sparse and delicate. Head not much 
longer than wide, width between the eyes twice the length from eye to ver- 
tex; flatly convex above, depressed in front, a little tumid beneath, the great- 
est depth beneath the posterior end of the eye; vertical margin slightly 
convex, temples rounded, eyes convex; antenne reaching the mesoscutum, 
all the segments longer than wide, antennal fosse deep; clypeus carinate, 
apically depressed and projecting slightly in front of the anterior margin of 
the head, sloping at the sides, the carina extending backward on the top of 
the head beyond the base of the antenne; mandibles slender, curved, trun- 
cate apically and toothed, base touching the eye above; gula and sides of 
the head flatly convex, the former medially foreshortened, as wide as long, 
anterior margin nearly straight, posterior margin incised; propodeum finely 
rugulose; abdomen short ovate, apically acuminate, smooth and _ polished; 
wings subinfuscate, with a faint yellowish brown pigmentation; length 2.75 
mms.

segments a little longer than wide, pedicel twice as long as wide, antennal 
fosse deep; clypeus carinate, apically depressed and projecting slightly in
