the spiracular area large, irregular ; its apical keel oblique ; 

 the apex of the segment has, on either side at the top, two 

 short, longitudinal keels ; its sides are stoutly keeled. 

 The propleurae shining, impunctate ; the apex obscurely 

 crenulated. The mesopleurae closely and minutely 

 punctured ; the base near the middle with a short, 

 longitudinal furrow from which runs downwards obliquely 

 a broad, indistinctly crenulated one, and, slightly upwards, 

 a narrower, shorter, smooth one to the wide, crenu- 

 lated, apical furrow. Metapleurse closely punctured ; the 

 base with a wide and deep depression, in the centre of 

 which are three stout longitudinal keels. Wings fulvo- 

 hyaline ; the apex, from the base of the stigma, and a 

 mark, slightly longer than broad, at the base of the stigma 

 and reaching near to, but not touching, the cubital nervure, 

 deep, fuliginous black ; the two transverse cubital nervures 

 do not touch at the top ; the first transverse cubital nervure 

 is oblique, straight ; the second curved ; beneath the 

 cubital nervure is narrowed at the stigma by the hyaline 

 cloud and, in front of the areolet, it is interrupted by it ; 

 the recurrent nervure is also interrupted by a bulla at its 

 junction with the cubital, and below the angle above its 

 middle. Legs fulvous ; covered with a pale, microscopic 

 pubescence ; the hinder coxae closely punctured ; the apex 

 of the hinder tibiae, and the hinder tarsi, black. Abdomen 

 shining ; the apical segments thickly covered with pale 

 fulvous hair ; the sheaths of the ovipositor black.
