 of stigma to near the base of radius luteous, the rest of 

 stigma deep black; the nervures dark fuscous. Metanotum 

 more or less coarsely, irregularly transyersely striated, 

 regularly areolated ; the areola narrowed gradually from 

 shortly beyond the middle to the base, where it is bluntly 

 rounded; from the apex of the widened middle part it 

 becomes narrowed and bluntly, rather broadly rounded; it 

 is bordered laterally by a, wider than long, area, the 

 apical keel of which issues from the middle angle of the 

 areola, its outer bounding keel being oblique, so that it is 

 wider at the base tban at the apex; on either side of the 

 apex is a large 6-angled area. Parapsidal furrows smooth; 

 there is a furrow down the sides of the lateral lobes of 

 the mesonotum. The furrow at the base of scutellum large, 

 and it bears a few stout keels. There is a distinct curved 

 depression at the apex of post-scutellum. The parts border- 

 ing the scutellums are strongly striated. Pleural furrows 

 strongly crenulated. Ovipositor black, conspicuous, curved, 

 sabre-shaped. Palpi pale testaceous. Pubescence dense and
