 below ; centre of front closely punctured, more strongly above

 the base ; the posterior median area is depressed and transverse- 

 ly striated, the striae stronger on the sides ; the lateral arese are 

 irregularly reticulated, the keels being much stronger than in 

 the centre; there are 4 apical arete; the spiracular region is 

 bounded by stout keels and is strongly striated. Propleurae be-

 occiput roundly incised. Scutellum fiat, large, its sides 

 keeled. Base of metanotum obliquely, deeply depressed; areola 

 large, slightly longer than broad, rounded behind, transverse 

 in front, widely separated from the base of the segment and 

 without a petiolar area. Areolet narrowed in front, the ner- 

 vures almost touching there ; disco-cubital nervure broken 

 by a stump of a nervure ; transverse basal nervure interstitial. 

 Petiole smooth, post-petiole obliquely narrowed at the base ; the 

 2nd and 3rd segments closely punctured ; there are 8 segments ; 

 the last minute, blunt and with stout, longish cerci ; the ventral 

 keel extends to the apex of the 3rd segment. Antennae shorter 

 than the body, narrowed and serrate at the apex. There is an 

 oblique keel on the propleuia?, and 2 on the lower part of the 

 meta- between the coxae.
