reticulate-rugose, the meshes wider than in Ebrardi and Wissmanni . 

 The rugae feebler, longitudinal on the head, transverse on the neck, 

 coarse on the thorax, and rather irregular on the front of the pro- 

 notum, elsewhere longitudinal. The spaces between the rugae finely 

 reticulate and fairly shining. Both nodes coarsely rugose and sulcate 

 lengthwise. Abdomen closely and finely reticulate-punctate, also with 

 superficial rugae which extend over the whole surface, becoming 

 stronger towards the base. 



" Head as wide as long, the sides convex, fairly narrowed in front, 

 the posterior margin almost straight. The posterior angles and the 

 sides behind the eyes denticulate ; a tooth is present in front of each 

 eye. Eyes fairly convex, nearly as long as the space between them 

 and the anterior angles of the head. Clypeus emarginate in the 

 middle. Thorax a little narrower than the head, two-thirds longer 

 than wide, without dorsal sutures, moderately convex. Sides of 

 pronotum parallel and. denticulate. Epinotal spines as long as the 

 interval between their bases. First node hardly longer than wide, 

 higher than long ; 2nd node lower and a little wider than the 1st, one- 

 third wider than long, the anterior angles rounded. Abdomen dis- 

 tinctly longer than wide, the sides a little convex (shorter than in 

 Wissmanni and longer than in otii, Forel). 



" $ . 5 mm. Rugae on the pronotum oblique behind, fairly 

 parallel and longitudinal on the mesonotum and scutellum (much 

 more irregular in Ebrardi). Stronger and also longitudinal on the 

 dorsum of the epinotum and on the two nodes (transverse on the 1st 

 node in Ebrardi). The head is a little longer than in the ty, dis- 

 tinctly narrower in front. The eyes are half as large again as the 

 space between them and the posterior angles of the head. Thoracic 

 sutures very distinct. Epinotal spines shorter than the interval 

 between them, but slightly longer than in Ebrardi. First node a 

 little longer than wide, nearly as long as in Ebrardi. Abdomen 

 narrowly emarginate at the base, a little shorter than in Ebrardi. 

 Wings hyaline, tinged with yellow, nervures yellow, stigma brownish. 

 Otherwise like the £ . 



" <$ . 4 - 3 mm. Sculpture finer than in the $ , considerably effaced 

 on the abdomen, which is fairly shining and has a few rudimentary 

 striae near the base. Head narrowed in front, half as wide in front 

 as behind. Eyes convex, one-third longer than the space between 

 them and the posterior angles. Mayrian furrows well defined. Epi- 

 notal spines shorter and thicker than in the $ . Otherwise like 

 the $.
