thirds are five stout, transverse keels. The four anterior 

 legs are fulvous, more yellowish in tint towards the base ; 

 the hinder rufous ; the apical fourth of the tibiae black ; 

 the metatarsus more than four times the length of the 

 second joint, and twice the length of the four apical joints 

 united ; the hinder tarsi are longer than the tibiae ; the 

 claws simple. 



This species on the whole fits fairly well into Hetero- 

 pelma. The parapsidal furrows are distinct; the metanotal 

 spiracles I cannot find ; those on the petiole are placed 

 near the apex ; the metathorax is distinctly narrowed 

 towards the apex ; the mandibular teeth unequal, but not 

 conspicuously so ; the first recurrent nervure is received in 

 the middle.

Long. 17 mm. 



Antennae dark rufous, the basal part of the flagellum 

 darker above. Head black ; the face, clypeus, the inner 

 orbits above the antennae, the mandibles and palpi yellow; 

 the mandibular teeth black ; the face and clypeus sparsely 

 covered with long, white hair ; coarsely, but not closely, 

 punctured ; the front and vertex coarsely obliquely 

 striated ; the striae curved, more closely pressed together 

 above than below. Mesonotum strongly punctured at 

 the sides, the middle irregularly reticulated. Metathorax 

 strongly reticulated. The middle of the propleurae 

 strongly obliquely striolated ; the lower part coarsely, 

 obliquely aciculated ; the upper part at the apex, strongly, 

 but not closely, punctured. Mesopleurae finely and closely 

 punctured, the middle at the apex smooth. Mesosternum
