 punctured at the base ; the apex impunctate, depressed in 

 the middle. The mandibles at the base are covered with 

 long, white hair. Mesonotum punctured ; the middle lobe 

 more strongly than the sides and raised above them ; at its 

 base they almost form reticulations, and in the middle of 

 the basal three-fourths is a shallow furrow ; on the outer 

 side of the lateral lobes the punctures are more widely 

 separated. Scutellum strongly punctured laterally, the 

 punctures running into reticulations ; the middle depressed, 

 the raised sides bordered on the inner side by an indistinct, 

 irregular keel ; the sides towards the middle are rufous. 

 Metathorax strongly reticulated ; the base and sides 

 thickly covered with pale fuscous hair. The base of the 

 propleurae aciculated ; the upper part of the middle 

 strongly longitudinally striolated ; the upper closely punc- 

 tured ; the lower coarsely longitudinally striolated. The 

 base and upper part of the mesopleurse coarsely irregularly 

 reticulated ; the lower closely, but not deeply, punctured ; 

 the middle almost impunctate; the apex crenulated, deeply 

 and widely depressed. The extreme base of the metapleurae 

 is smooth, bordered on the posterior edge above with large, 

 round punctures ; below with some stout keels. The four 

 front legs are pale fulvous ; the trochanters yellowish ; the 

 hinder legs dark ferruginous ; the apex of the tibiae broadly 

 black ; the apex of the tarsi inclining to yellow. Abdo-
