is slightly raised above the level of the mesonotum; the 
lateral keels extend near to the apex, which has an oblique 
slope and is closely Jongitudinally striated. The raised 
areola and the base of the median segment in the middle 
are smooth and shining; the rest of the segment closely 
rugosely punctured and striated; the metapleurse and the 
spiracular area are closely, strongly, obliquely striated. 
Legs coloured like the body ; the apical two joints of the 
hinder tarsi black; the pubescence is short, and on the 
base (the coxee particularly) is pale fulvous. Wings yel- 
lowish hyaline, the apex fusco-violaceous ; the nervures and 
stigma black. Abdomen ferruginous; the apical half of the 
third more or less and the other segments entirely black ; 
the postpetiole is depressed in the middle at the base; the 
centre is strongly longitudinally striated; the gastrocceli, 
except at the base, are smooth and shining; the second 
segment to near the apex is closely longitudinally striated.
