being excavated, smooth, shining, and impunctate ; the 

 metapleuras coarsely reticulated. The basal abdominal 

 segment is a little longer than broad, strongly punctured, 

 bearing long pale fuscous hairs, and, at the apex, pale 

 golden hairs ; the second segment is not quite so strongly 

 punctured as the apex of the first ; the other segments 

 are less strongly, but more closely, punctured, than the 

 second; the apical is more strongly punctured than the 

 penultimate. The basal ventral segment is keeled down 

 the middle. Legs entirely black, and covered with white 

 hairs ; the calcaria pale. Tegulae densely covered with 

 long white hairs. The basal abscissa of the radius 

 straight, oblique ; the apical roundly curved ; the first 

 recurrent nervure received in the middle ; the second in 

 the apical fourth of the cellule. The nervures are dark 

 fuscous.

Head densely covered with silvery pubescence ; that 

 between the ocelli and the antennae completely hiding 

 the texture ; that on the vertex intermixed with long 

 grey hair; vertex behind the eyes rounded and narrowed 

 a little more than the length of the eyes. Antennal 

 tubercles acute, piceous ; the middle of the mandibles 

 piceous. Antennae black, the flagellum with a short 

 pile ; the scape with long hairs, and apparently more 

 deeply excavated beneath than usual. Sides of the 

 pronotum rounded, closely punctured and covered with 

 long pale hairs. Mesonotum bearing large, round, deep 

 punctures, the scutellum also with large deep punctures ; 

 at its base is a wide deep distinct furrow, behind which 

 is a longer narrower one. The median segment has a 

 gradually rounded slope, and is strongly reticulated.
