First joint of funiele a little more than twice as 

 long as thick, joints 2-6 subequal, truncate

Head viewed from in front oval. Antennae 13-jointed, extend- 

 ing to apex of metathorax ; the scape long, clavate, 3| times as 

 long as the pedicel, the latter oval ; funiele much slenderer than 

 the pedicel, 8-jointed, the first joint three or more times longer 

 than thick, joints 2-5 subequal, a little longer than thick, joints 6-8 

 rounded; club abrupt, 3-jointed, stout, the first joint about 1| times 

 as long as thick, the second twice as long as thick, the third ovate, 

 2| times as long as thick. Thorax subovoid, about three times as 

 long as wide, the collar anteriorly visible from above as a sharp 

 transverse ridge, the mesonotum f uUy twice as long as wide at base ; 

 the scutellum striated along the sides, behind truncate and with 

 the truncature margined, the cup very small, oval, connected with

 thorax united, viewed from the side obliquely truncate at apex, 

 above with a slight rim at base but without pubescence, and, 

 except some striae at base, perfectly smooth and polished. 



Mount Gay Estate. Described from a single specimen. The 

 shape of the wings, colour of legs, and non-pubescent girdle at base 

 of abdomen readily distinguish the species.
