  of 
  the 
  depressed 
  area 
  and 
  the 
  mid 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  mid 
  lobe. 
  

   The 
  depressed 
  area 
  is 
  thus 
  dull 
  (smooth 
  and 
  shining 
  in 
  neavei) 
  and 
  the 
  bristle 
  rises 
  

   from 
  a 
  raised 
  base. 
  Scutellum 
  (fig. 
  3) 
  nowhere 
  smooth, 
  but 
  more 
  shining 
  than 
  the 
  mid 
  

   lobe 
  ; 
  pattern 
  slightly 
  raised 
  and 
  longitudinally 
  drawn 
  out. 
  Axillae 
  dull, 
  finely 
  reticu- 
  

   late. 
  Propodaeum 
  (fig. 
  3) 
  with 
  the 
  median 
  keels 
  nearer 
  one 
  another 
  than 
  in 
  neavei, 
  one- 
  

   eighth 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  the 
  lateral 
  keels, 
  no 
  raised 
  portion 
  or 
  ridge 
  enclosed 
  ; 
  near 
  

   the 
  short 
  neck 
  the 
  central 
  keels 
  diverge 
  slightly, 
  enclosing 
  two 
  hollows. 
  Lateral 
  

   keels 
  subparallel 
  and 
  short, 
  the 
  short 
  projection 
  behind 
  each 
  being 
  rounded, 
  not 
  

   pointed. 
  Spiracular 
  area 
  outside 
  the 
  keels 
  narrowed 
  (fig. 
  9, 
  b).
