to near apices. Head viewed from side with face margin evenly 

 and gently curved below antennae, but with clypeus abruptly 

 elevated; cheeks narrow, below scarcely one fifth the width of 

 eye, broader above ; length of malar space one and one-half times 

 width of cheek, transversely rugose ; eye much broader on lower 

 half. 



Mesonotum full and broadly arched, thickly and finely rugose, 

 with a suggestion of shagreening, but slightly impressed on 

 anterior margin at notauli; notauli faintly indicated by coarser 

 rugse; posteromedian area occupied by a broad, sharp-rimmed 

 furrow, which is cross-striate within. Scutellum anteriorly with 

 six small fovese (the outer broader) , separated by equally strong 

 longitudinal carinse; posterior disk of scutellum finely rugose 

 and oval, the point obliquely flattened and smoother; postscu- 

 tellum large, two large deep fovese at middle, two others on each 

 side much shallower, all separated by longitudinal carinas. Meta- 

 notum coarsely reticulate-rugose, with a sharp, complete, median 

 carina which is posteriorly sinuous; two large, submarginal, 

 irregular fovese near posterolateral angles on either side ; spiracle 

 oval, a strong, continuous, longitudinal, lateral carina passing 

 immediately below it; metapleura coarsely rugose, a small area 

 at center smooth, two small, sharply rimmed arese at anterior 

 angle ; mesopleura with anterior third coarsely rugose, remainder 

 nearly smooth and with large, scattering punctures, beneath 

 wing with a broad vertical depressed area, which is strongly 

 rimmed on anterior border. 



Abdomen nearly as long as head and thorax together, broadly 

 sessile, gradually broadening to third segment; remaining seg- 

 ments rapidly narrowed and retracted, so that only their borders 

 are exposed, together about as long as third segment; first 

 segment four fifths as wide basally as apically, length slightly 

 more than apical breadth ; second segment slightly broadened to 

 apex, subequal to first in length, its width and length subequal; 

 third segment slightly broader than second and three fourths its 

 length, its length less than half its apical width ; first and second 

 tergites and basal three fourths of third coarsely, longitudinally 

 rugose, with a strong, continuous, median carina reaching on 

 to basal half of third tergite; remaining tergites smooth, shin- 

 ing, and decolored ; first suture strongly, sharply depressed, sec- 

 ond less so and weakly crenulate. Hind tibise with two stout, 

 straight spurs, the inner longer, about as long as third tarsal 

 joint. 



Stigma large, wide, about four times as long as wide, widest 

 at two fifths of length from base, where radius is inserted;
