to remainder, the costal margin ochraceous. 



Male, length, 3.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above with very large, but not bulging 

 eyes, which deeply enter vertex, distance between them equal 

 to distance from occipital m.argin to front margin of anterior 

 ocellus; vertex back' of ocelli rather short, due to the very 

 strongly incurving occipital margin; length from ocelli to oc- 

 cipital margin about equal to length of exposed cheek margin; 

 occipital carina subangularly curved at middle; surface of ver- 

 tex smooth and shining; ocelli large, distance between ocelli 

 slightly less than distance from ocelli to eyes, the latter distance 

 much less than the long diameter of an ocellus, distance to 

 occipital carina less than twice the long diameter of an ocellus. 

 Face subquadrate, eye margins slightly incurved at sides and 

 not strongly emarginate opposite antennae ; surface very minutely 

 roughened, and not strongly medially raised, median carina sub- 

 obsolete ; mouth opening narrow and subelliptical. Head, viewed 

 from side, with face margin evenly curved and not strongly 

 projecting; cheeks narrow, less than one third width of eye, 

 slightly narrower above than below; malar space small, length 

 little more than width of cheeks below; eye large, its outline 

 long and very broadly elliptical. Maxillary palpi longer than 

 anterior femora, third joint longest and somewhat thinly and 

 slightly broadened on apical two thirds, remaining three joints 

 slender, terete, and subequal. 



Mesonotum smooth, shining, deeply impressed anteriorly along 

 line of notauli, which are shallow posteriorly, coarsely crenulate, 

 obsolete on middle of posterior depressed area in the center of 

 which is a short, sharply cut, median furrow. Scutellum ante- 

 riorly with two somewhat oblique and rather narrow fovese, the 

 median separating carina fine and little raised, each fovea having 

 two sharp rudiments of carina at posterior border. Metano- 

 tum obscurely reticulate-rugose, the lanceolate median area with 

 sharply raised margins, which are angulately broken where sev- 

 eral transverse rugae pass entirely through the median area; 

 just below the oval metapleural spiracle passes a sharp, complete, 

 longitudinal, sutural carina; meta- and mesopleura smooth and 

 shining, the latter, on posterior half, with a median, oblique, 

 deeply impressed furrow, which has a shallower, curved con- 

 tinuation anteriorly, and below wing a broad, sharply depressed 

 area, which extends downward and forward and is strongly 

 cross striate. 



Abdomen broadly sessile, longer than head and thorax to-
