ternum, on anterior portion of metanotum, and on scape and 

 funicle; flagella piceous; interocellar area black. Wings faintly 

 smoky, veins testaceous; media, basal, and first abscissa of 

 radius darker; stigma pale, decolored anteriorly. 



Female, length, about 5.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above transverse, not rapidly narrowing 

 behind, eyes strongly bulging beyond head outline ; exposed cheek 

 margin a little shorter than length of vertex back of ocelli; 

 occipital carina subangulately bent; length of exposed cheek 

 margin one third greater than distance from ocelli to eyes, inter- 

 ocellar distance less than the diameter of the large and strongly 

 prominent ocelli and equaling about half the distance from ocelli 

 to eyes; vertex back of ocelli smooth and shining; surface in 

 front of anterior ocelli radiately wrinkled and not depressed. 



Face very short, broader than long and broader below than 

 above, medially slightly raised, smooth, with a few subobsolete 

 punctures. Mouth opening very narrow. Clypeus transverse, 

 smooth, upper and lower margins subparallel, the latter rather 

 strongly impressed. Mandibles with outer surface roughened. 

 Head viewed from side with face evenly curved; malar space 

 very long, due to narrowing of mouth, its length somewhat 

 greater than width of cheek below; cheek about one third of 

 width of lower half of eyes, cheek margin subparallel to eye 

 margin; ej^e very broad, subelliptical, and a little broader on 

 lower half. 



Maxillary palpi of great size, extending to end of metanotum; 

 third to sixth joints strongly inflated; third as broad apically 

 as posterior femora and slightly longer than depth of eye, sub- 

 terete, strongly narrowed to base, slightly flattened toward lower 

 edge ; fourth as long as third, nearly a.& wide basally as third at 

 apex, then narrowed apically; fifth, three fourths length of 

 fourth and much narrowed, as broad apically as basally; sixth, 

 two thirds length of fifth, much narrower and spindle-shaped 

 in outline; fourth, fifth, and sixth segments much flattened; 

 labial palpi reaching tegulse, fourth joint elongate and flattened. 



Mesonotum trilobed, shining, slightly roughened, notauli deep- 

 ly impressed anteriorly, broad and irregularly crenulate poste- 

 riorly, where they rather suddenly converge to a narrow, 

 impressed, median basal groove. Scutellum anteriorly quadrifo- 

 veate, the separating carinas low; posterior disk of scutellum 

 strongly convex and smooth. Postscutellum very shallowly 

 bifoveate. Metanotum very coarsely, irregularly rugose; a 

 strongly rimmed, narrowly lanceolate, median area with irregular
