pronotum all round above and slightly wider at the apex, a short 

 line on either side of the mesonotum, the sides of the scutellum 

 broadly, its apex more narrowly, the postscutellum, the edge of 

 the propleurse broadly, the lower half of the mesopleurse, the 

 tubercles, the edge of the apex of the mesopleurae, and the sides of 

 the metanotum at the apex, yellow. The mesonotum at the base 

 and sides obscurely punctured ; the middle with large deep 

 punctures : it is thickly covered with short black hairs, especially 

 at the base. Scutellum flat, large, slightly narrowed towards the 

 apex ; the sides with a stout keel, which extends from the base 

 to near the apex ; except along its edges it bears large deep 

 punctures ; the apex is longitudinally striated ; the depression at 

 the base is narrow and shallow. Postscutellum smooth and 

 shining. The base of the median segment is coarsely shagreened : 

 the rest strongly punctured ; the arese are not distinctly indicated, 

 the keels being faint ; the supramedian is longer than broad, and 

 obliquely narrowed at the base ; there are no teeth ; the apex in 

 the middle is depressed, shining, and finely transversely striated ; 

 the keels on the apex of the segment are more distinct than they 

 are on the base ; the posterior median area is triangularly nar- 

 rowed at the base. PropleuraB shining ; the upper part strongly 

 obliquely striated : the apex furrowed ; the mesopleurae punctured, 

 more strongly below than above ; the middle behind smooth, 

 plumbeous ; the apex is crenulated. Metapleurse strongly find 

 closely punctured. Legs stout, thickly covered with white hair ; 

 the four anterior tibiae and the femora are lined above with black ; 

 the hinder coxae are black, except in the middle behind ; the basal 

 joint of the trochanters and the basal half of the hinder tibiae 

 yellow ; the tarsi spinose ; the metatarsus and the base of the 2nd 

 joint are testaceous. Wings hyaline, the nervures blackish ; the 

 areolet narrowed above, being there somewhat less in length than 

 the space bounded by the first transverse cubital and the recurrent 

 nervures ; the latter is received nearly in the middle ; the wings 

 are rather short, and hardly reach to the apex of the 4th abdominal 

 segment. The petiole becomes gradually widened from the middle 

 to the apex ; yellow, the dilated part blackish, and obscurely 

 longitudinally shagreened ; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th segments are 

 broadly yellowish at the base ; the apical three are entirely white ; 

 the 2nd and 3rd segments punctured and longitudinally striolated 

 in the middle ; the gastrocoeli are shallow, and not very clearly 

 indicated ; the ovipositor projects, its sheath is black.]

Agrees closely with the preceding species, from which it may 

 be known by the median segment being broadly black at the base 

 and in the middle, while the metapleurse are also broadly black at 

 the base.
