 head is wholly yellow except center of occiput obscurely, the bod3 r is smaller, the abdomen not 

 nearly twice the length of the thorax only ?i little longer, the axillae, seutellum and parapsides 

 are wholly metallic green, the abdomen bears five cross-stripes (the first two narrower) from 

 base to apex (the first not counted as at base); no median colored line on abdomen; the 

 metapleurum is yellow only across from insertion of fore Aving; only the pedicel is distinctly 

 marked with metallic green. Otherwise about the same. Funicle joints all a little wider than

Ora7ige or reddish yellow, the abdomen and legs yellowish brown, also the scape and 

 head; upper half of occiput, flagellam, tip of scape above and meson of pronotum broadly, black, 

 the other parts marked nearly like silvensis except that the abdomen is margined with black 

 along a little over proximal half only (not to the distal black as in silvensis), the distal end of 

 each marginal stripe broken in one or two places so that there appear to be one or two 

 marginal spots caudad. Postscutellum lemon yellow, propodenm black, orange laterad of the 

 spiracle. Seutellum laterad of first grooves distinctly suffused with reddish. The abdomen is 

 not conical as in silvensis yet longer than the thorax. Propodenm short at the meson, with a 

 pair of median carinas but no otheis. Central frustum-shaped black marking on scutum at 

 cephalic half; a black spot on eaudo-latera] angle of pronotum. Club with a terminal spur. 

 Funicle 1 snlie<|iial to the club, 3 distinctly longer than the rather long pedicel, 2 intermediate
