the scutellum, are two straight, distinct, moderately deep 

 and wide furrows ; and opposite the apex of the tegulae, 

 but not reaching the scutellum, is a shorter more indistinct 

 furrow. Scutellum flat, shining ; post-scutellum with a 

 rounded slope ; its apex bordered by oblique furrows, 

 which unite at the top with the wider and deeper furrow 

 down the centre of the median segment. Pro- and meso- 

 pleurae with a few scattered shallow punctures ; shortly 

 behind the middle of the mesopleurae is an oblique, 

 moderately wide and deep, crenulated furrow, which unites 

 with a narrower oblique crenulated one originating at the 

 base of the mesopleurae ; from the posterior part of the 

 upper furrow runs a short, much wider and deeper, oblique 

 furrow. At the base of the median segment is a crenulated, 

 slightly oblique furrow, wide at the top, much narrower 

 and more distinctly crenulated at the bottom. In front 

 of the hinder coxae are two stout teeth ; the hinder being 

 narrower, sharper and longer than the anterior. Metapleurae 

 smooth, the middle aciculated ; the apex punctured ; the 

 apical half of the median segment being also marked with 

 punctures ; and rather thickly covered with longish, pale 

 hairs. Legs coloured like the body ; the femora sparsely 

 covered with longish, pale hairs ; the tibiae and tarsi more 

 thickly with pale pubescence. Second cubital cellule 

 much narrowed at the top, being there slightly shorter 

 than the space bounded by the second recurrent and the 

 second transverse cubital nervures. Petiole elongate, 

 slightly, but distinctly, longer than the second segment, 

 becoming gradually wider from the base to the apex ; the 

 apex with distinct punctures ; and having in the centre a 

 deep, short, longitudinal furrow ; the lateral teeth, before 

 the middle, large, triangular. Second segment obscurely 

 punctured ; in front of the middle are two moderately 

 large, transverse marks ; the third segment broadly lemon- 

 yellow at the apex ; the base black, rufous at the sides ;
