?. Black, head with long white, thorax with rufo-fulvous pubescence, hair on the pleurae and sternum 

 paler than it is on the mesonotum; the abdominal segments with broad bands of depressed white pubescence; 

 the hair on the legs long, white; the tarsi rufous; wings hyaline, the stigma fuscous, the nervures black. 

 L. io mm. 



Front and vertex closely punctured ; a stout keel between the antennae ; the face and clypeus more strongly 

 punctured, the punctures becoming larger and more confluent towards the apex of the clypeus; malar space 

 finely, closely striated; labrum smooth and shining, deeply furrowed in the centre. Pro- and mesothorax closely 

 and strongly punctured, the punctures round; the metanotal area strongly irregularly striated, the Striae running 

 into reticulations ; the reticulated central part shorter than on the sides, the smooth part continued to the apex 

 of the segment, becoming gradually narrowed, its apical half depressed, the convex upper part keeled in the 

 middle. Basal abdominal segment covered with long white, slightly tinged with fulvous, hair; the pilose bands 

 extend on to the ventral surface; the segments are closely, minutely punctured; the apical two fuscous at the 

 apex; the last segment thickly covered with stiff black depressed hair which gives it a striated appearance. 

 Hair on legs white; the calcaria rufous. 



c? similar; the antennae stouter, not much longer than in the female; the clypeus smoother at the apex.

 fringed with long dark rufous hair. Base of mandibles rufous. The hair on the apex of the tarsi and on the 

 tarsi bright rufous ; on the scopa dark fuscous. Pygidium densely covered with stiff depressed fulvous pubescence, 

 which gives it a striated appearance, centre is furrowed. 



Tegulae are large, conchiform, piceous or pale on the outer edge; occiput almost transverse ; metanotum
