Female. — Body, length 1.93 mm., width .85 mm. ; clear ful- 

 vous, with head large, temples produced laterally and angulated 

 behind; abdomen oval, with pale brown lateral bands and narrow, 

 pitchy, submarginal bands. 



Head, length .53 mm., width .76 mm. ; broadly and rather 

 flatly rounded in front, with slight depressions at the point where 

 the antennal bands touch the margin, trabeculae absent ; antennae 

 short, slender, first two segments the longest and equal, last 

 three shorter, equal ; temples expanded laterally into a rounded 

 protuberance, bearing two long hairs ; posterior portion slightly 

 extended and sharply angulated ; occiput deeply re-entering, con- 

 vex; a broad brownish band running around the front of the 

 head; short, pitchy bands run from the base of the mandibles to 

 the anterior margin at the depression ; just within these bands 

 are chestnut-colored protuberances, running a short distance 

 backward from the frontal band ; pitchy ocular blotches ; a slightly 

 dusky, narrow band runs around the temples from the eye to 

 the posterior angles ; heavy pitchy occipital bands run backward 

 from the posterior roots of the mandibles to the sides of the 

 occiput, thence spreading out into a narrow occipital margin ; 

 regions between ocular blotches and antennal bands, dusky brown. 



Prothorax small, quadrilateral, with anterior and posterior 

 margins slightly concave ; sides nearly straight, diverging ; pos- 

 terior angles produced backward into a slender rounded protu- 

 berance, bearing one long hair ; heavy, pitchy, submarginal bands 

 run backward from the anterior angles to the anterior angles of 

 metathorax ; a portion of the coxal lines showing through ; me- 

 dian portion of segment clear, region between lateral bands and 

 margin dusky. Metathorax short, transverse, with lateral mar- 

 gins convex and posterior margin slightly angulated on abdo- 

 men ; heavy, curving, pitchy bands running backward from an- 

 terior angles, extend half way, across the first segment of the 

 abdomen ; lateral margins with two long hairs ; a transverse 

 chestnut band across the anterior portion, and another, broken 

 in the center, across the posterior portion of the segment. Legs
