Male, length, 4.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above transverse, broad behind the eyes, 

 which are of medium size and prominent, distance between them 

 equaling distance from occipital carina to fore margin of ocellar 

 area; vertex opaque and roughly, thickly shagreened; occipital 

 carina long, strongly incurved at middle; length of vertex back 

 of ocelli nearly twice the length of the very short, oblique, 

 exposed cheek margin and as long as entire ocellar area ; ocelli of 

 medium size, distance from ocelli to eyes subequal to interocellar 

 distance and less than long diameter of an ocellus, anterior ocellus 

 not farther removed. 



Face to mouth a little longer than wide, eye margins not 

 strongly incurved below, with a rather strong median carina 

 extending halfway to clypeus, the surface shagreened, trans- 

 versely wrinkled on upper half; mouth opening small, sub- 

 elliptical; clypeus large, nearly as long as broad, basal suture 

 subobsolete; clypeal pits large, distant from eyes about four 

 times their diameter. Head viewed from side with face margin 

 flatly prominent below antennae, then straight to mouth, clypeus 

 not swollen; cheek narrow, about one fourth diameter of eye, 

 outer margin subparallel to eye margin; malar space large, its 

 length twice the width of cheek ; eye large, broadly, bluntly sub- 

 elliptical. Maxillary palpi slender, terete, reaching tegulae ; third 

 joint stout, fourth a little longer, fifth and sixth joints subequal 

 and slightly shorter than third. 



Antennae as long as body; scape broadened apically, length 

 one and one half times the apical width; funicle longer than 

 broad and very little narrowed apically; more than one half 

 length of scape; length of middle flagellar joints three times 

 the width. 



Mesonotum rather strongly trilobed, middle lobe broadly ex- 

 tended, notauli broad, deeply impressed and crenulate, but 

 stronger posteriorly than anteriorly and posteriorly widely 

 separated ; surface finely shagreened, posterior median area plane 

 and rugose. Scutellum anteriorly with two large fovese, each 

 subdivided by two low, incomplete carinas; posterior disk of 

 scutellum shagreened. Metanotum rather finely, shallowly ru- 

 gose, with a complete median carina; disk of metapleura sha- 

 greened; spiracle ovate, with a strong, sinuous, longitudinal, 

 sutural carina passing beneath it; disk of mesopleura shallowly 

 rugose and with a very broad, shallow depression, extending 

 from beneath forewings to lower posterior angle. 



Abdomen as long as head and thorax together, broadest on
