 narrowing ventre ily ; epimeral sulcus entirely crenulate, with 

 one or two large fove^e at its ventral extremity. Sternum shining, 

 moderately closely punctured, one or two large foveje outside the 

 intermediate coxae close to the extremity of the epimeral sulcus. 

 Median segment coarsely sculptured ; apical carina of the basal 

 area broadly interrupted in the middle, the basal area smooth 

 and shining ; areola and petiolar area fully separated, the former 

 smooth, with one or two large punctures and rugulose towards 

 the sides, especially posteriorly, petiolar area transversely rugu- 

 lose ; external areie nearly smooth, dentiparal and other dorsal 

 arese rugulose, except the anterior portion of the spiracular area, 

 which is coarsely punctured ; pleural (text-Hg. 1) and juxta-coxal

 petiole just behind the middle, much nearer to each other than 

 to the apex of the segment, a well-defined tooth (text-fig. 1 1 , on 

 each side of the petiole, nearer to the base than to the spiracle ; 

 the central dorsal portion of the petiole basally distinctly raised, 

 with a sulcus near each spiracle ; gastrocoeli distinct, finely punc- 

 tured, abdomen otherwise smooth. Second abscissa of the radius 

 a little shorter than the second transverse cubital nervure, 

 distance between the recurrent nervure and the second transverse 

 cubital nervure more than half as great as the length of the latter 

 nervure. Externally the hind coxa? and femora are sparsely but 

 rather deeply punctured. Tarsal unguis etc., text-fig. 4, a.
