at the apex, the projection ending in a blunt triangle, 

 behind which is a smaller, more rounded, projection. 

 Scutellum longer than it is broad, narrowed towards the 

 apex ; the sides at the base stoutly keeled ; the basal 

 depression wide and deep ; the median segment closely- 

 rugose, large ; the apex in the middle transversely 

 striated ; in the centre there is only the supramedian and 

 the lateral basal areae, the former being wide at the base 

 and with the sides oblique ; and the posterior median 

 which is rounded at the base and with almost straight 

 sides ; the spiracular area is large, wide, rounded behind. 

 The propleurae pallid yellow ; stoutly, obliquely striated 

 on the lower side ; the mesopleurse coarsely punctured 

 above, the lower stoutly, irregularly striolated ; at the sides 

 of the mesosternum is a wide, deep, longitudinal furrow, 

 marked throughout with stout, vertical keels. Legs 

 rufous ; the apex of the hinder femora, of the hinder tibiae 

 more broadly and the tarsi, except the base, black. Wings 

 hyaline, the stigma black, fuscous at the base ; the 

 recurrent nervures largely bullated. The petiole is some- 

 what longer than the second segment, broad, narrow at 

 the base ; down the middle are two distinct keels, which 

 reach to the apex ; the sides are keeled to the spiracles, 

 the keel in front of these diverging on their inner side. 

 The second and third segments are closely punctured ; 

 the sides, apex and ventral surface are pallid yellow.
