Yery similar to furcatus Lep. & Serv. and to rufice^is Sauss., 

 but distinguished from both by the tridentate hind femora and 

 the central dark mark or band in fore wing ; from the latter also 

 by the sculpture of the frons, and the longer terebra.

$ S . Frons very coarsely irregularly to arcuately rugose ; 

 the three anterior tubercles very large ; occiput coarsely rugose, 

 arcuately in front, transversely behind, laterally irregularly. 

 Temples apically feebly rugose ; cheeks as long as scape. 

 Posterior margin of head strongly bordered. Second flagellar 

 joint fully twice as long as first, third longer than second but 

 shorter than first and second together. Neck coarsely trans- 

 rugulose, semiannular smooth, slightly transrugose in front and 

 with a few lateral punctures. Mesonotum with a central row of 

 very coarse punctures, a smooth, difi'usely punctured space on 

 each side bounded by divergent impressions, beyond which it 

 is laterally transrugose, with a more or less extensive smooth 

 space. Scutellum polished and diffusely punctate. Mesopleurse 

 finely coriaceous above, obliquely rugose in front, smooth and 

 difi'usely punctate beneath ; metapleui^ae with a, few coarse 

 rugosities in which are some large punctures, separated from the 

 median segment by a shallow but distinct and almost smooth 

 sulcus. Median segment punctate, more densely and partly 

 confluently centrally and laterally, apically transrugose. Petiole 

 trans- striate, shorter than rest of abdomen, also shorter than the 

 hind coxfe, trochanters and femora together ; second segment 

 shining smooth, basally rugose, remaining segments rather dull. 

 Terebra longer than body, white-banded before apex. Hind legs 

 wuth coxae finely ti-ansrugose between coarse, scale-like rugosities; 

 femora shining smooth, bidentate ; tibiae compressed not quite to 

 middle ; tarsi five-jointed in J , three-jointed in $ .
