 parapsidal furrows complete, distinct ; scutum with a small fovea at meson of caudal , 

 margin. Postmarginal vein much longer than the stigmal. Abdomen subpetiolate. Mandibles 

 distinctly trident ate. Funicle joints all somewhat longer than the pedicel, 2 a little the 

 longest, about twice its own width, 1 wider than it; the two club joints a little shorter

 cephalic coxa, which is concolorous. Scape and pedicel colored like the legs but rest of 

 antennas black. Pedicel a little dusky, distinctly much shorter than any of the funicle joints 

 which are long, subequal, each about thrice or more longer than wide, longer than the club 

 joints; club with a distinct, conspicuous terminal seta; flagellum tapering. Mandibles 

 6-dentate, tridentate in the usual way, then with three comb-like teeth along the mesal 

 oblique truncation of the third tooth. Base of abdomen brilliant green. Face gently 

 wrinkled; vertex polished; thorax scaly reticulated, the scutellum with a more or less

 patterned with black dorsad as follows: Two short dusky transverse dashes across meson 

 just out from base, side by side, followed at regular intervals by two narrow complete black 

 cross-bands, each with a short transverse dash at meson just eaudad; then at the next interval 

 (at about distal two thirds) two short dashes across meson side by side (that is near together, 

 cephalo-caudad) ; then a complete cross-stripe without a dash eaudad of it; this distal stripe 

 is at a little over distal three fourths. Tip of valves of ovipositor black. Propodeum with a
