between the notauli. Scatellmn and postscutellum smooth, 

 almost impunctate ; mesopleurae rather coarsely and not very 

 sparsely punctured on the anterior two-thirds, smoother pos- 

 teriorly ; vertical groove between the episternite and epimeron 

 crenulate on upper half, smooth ventrally. Basal aiea of median 

 segment broad and very short, the carina separating it from the 

 a.reola only indicated laterally, surface smooth ; areola, veiy 

 broad, not distinctly separated from the petiolar area, smooth, 

 with indications of transverse rugae posteriorly and with a few- 

 scattered punctures; external area smooth, with a few in<listinct 

 punctures ; dentiparal area coarsely, but rather sparsely, punc- 

 tured ; spiracular area and juxta-co^al area with numerous 

 punctures, not quite as coarse as those on the dentiparal area ; 

 arete bounding the petiolar area rugose next to the bounding 

 carina?. Petiole apically very broad, a little raised medially on 

 the basal half; all the tergites shining, with numerous minute 

 piliferous punctures ; second tergite fully twice as broad as long, 

 third tergite fully three times as broad as long. Areolet long, 

 second abscissa of the i-adius longer than the second transverse 

 cubital nervure; distance between the second recurrent and second 

 transverse cubital nervure equal to less than half the length of 

 the latter nervure.

This is very distinct in the pilosity of the whole insect, the 

 robust and broad abdomen, and the black and rather short 

 antennae.

 magna sub alis anticis, scutello, postscutello, coxisque anticis

 Long. 7 mm. 



5 . Mandibles simple : clypeus and face fused, without a 

 dividing-line, sparsely punctured, with fine hairs springing from 

 the punctures. Antennae 37-jointed, third joint distinctly shorter 

 than the fourth and fifth combined, the joints becoming ti-ans- 

 verse about the tw^elfth. The emargination of the eyes is almost 

 obsolete ; front and vertex smooth and shining. Mesonotum 

 shining, with a few sparse and very small punctures, the median 

 lobe rather more closely punctured, not prominent ; notauli short 

 and shallow. Mesopleur?e anteriorly sparsely punctured on the 

 upper half, closely punctured rugulose on the lower half, smooth 

 posteriorly ; the epimeral sulcus crenulated on the upper half 

 only. Median segment with the apical carina, of the basal 

 area broadly interrupted in the middle ; areola and petiolar area 

 finely rugulose, not distinctly divided ; external area smooth and 

 shining; dentiparal aren^ rugulose, without spines; spiracular
