of cheek; eye large, its outline very broad and bluntly elliptical, 

 but narrower on the lower half. Maxillary palpi slender, terete, 

 third and fourth joints long, subequal in length and longer than 

 fifth and sixth together. Antennae longer than entire body, 

 scape slender, little narrower at base, twice as long as wide; 

 funicle narrower than scape and half as long; flagellar joints 

 twice as long as wide. 



Mesonotum deeply trilobed; median lobe strongly extended 

 forward; notauli deeply impressed, straight, in part indistinctly 

 crenulate, rapidly converging to hind margin, flanking a narrow 

 median basal area, which is provided with a lanceolate median 

 groove having several indistinct cross rugae. Scutellum ante- 

 riorly bifoveate, fovese rather long and narrow, median carina 

 low and weak, and each fovea subdivided behind by a weak 

 rudimentary median carina; posterior disk of scutellum oval, 

 smooth, and shining. Postscutellum bifoveate medially, each 

 fovea open anterolaterally. Metanotum irregularly rugose and 

 with a rudimentary median carina at base; median area with 

 partial outline of a large lozenge-shaped area, rugose within, but 

 broken by three stout transverse rugae; midlateral area with a 

 blunt prominence; spiracle large, elliptical; a weak, irregular, 

 longitudinal carina passing beneath spiracle; metapleura nearly 

 smooth anteriorly, indistinctly roughened posteriorly; meso- 

 pleura smooth and shining, disk with a broad, gradually im- 

 pressed groove on posterior two thirds, which is medially, 

 obscurely crenulate. 



Abdomen a little longer than head and thorax together, sessile, 

 with six exposed segments, gradually broadened to third seg- 

 ment; first segment suddenly narrowed near base, basal width 

 one third the apical, length subequal to apical width; second 

 tergite subequal in length to first, apical width much greater 

 than length; third to sixth tergites subequal in length and two 

 thirds length of second, beyond third rapidly narrower, sixth 

 truncate apically; all tergites longitudinally, finely, shallowly 

 striate, with interstrial shagreening, striae not reaching hind 

 margins of fourth, fifth, and sixth segments; striae somewhat 

 oblique on lateral portions of third, fourth, and fifth tergites; 

 only the first tergite with a distinct median carina ; second suture 

 connate, strongly curved, impressed, and crenulate; fifth and 

 sixth segments broadly depressed at base. Hypopygium short 

 and deep. 



Stigma long and narrow, about five times as long as broad, 

 radius inserted near the middle; first abscissa of radius about
