 and the petiole paler, the antennae more yellowish-red, abdomen dark 

 brown to blackish- brown. Head and thorax slightly shining, very 

 sharply and longitudinally striate, more closely on the head than on 

 the thorax, the striation of the pronotum somewhat irregular, 2nd 

 node of petiole longitudinally striato-rugulose. Abdomen smooth 

 and shining, finely and very sparsely punctured. Pubescence and 

 pilosity yellowish, sparse, the legs and scapes with only a fine decum-

 third of the head. Clypeus slightly impressed in the middle just 

 behind the anterior margin, the latter almost straight. Mandibles 

 striate. Frontal area indistinct, frontal carinae well developed. 

 Antennae unusually long, reaching back as far as the petiole or 

 beyond, the scape extending beyond the occipital margin by quite one- 

 third of its length ; all the joints of the flagellum much longer than 

 wide. Posterior lateral angles of the pronotum very prominent, 

 raised above the level of the rest of the pronotum and of the meso- 

 notum. Pro-mesonotal suture ill-defined in the middle, wide and 

 deep at the sides. Mesonotum convex lengthwise, without a distinct 

 declivous face behind, obtusely marginate at the sides. Dorsum of 

 epinotum convex, marginate at the sides, about one-third wider at the 

 base than long. Epinotal spines long, thin, acute, oblique, aud about 

 as long as the interval between their bases, with a transverse inipres-
