long as the fourth and fifth combined, the fourth very little 

 longer than the fifth. Front and occiput microscopically punc- 

 tured, the space between the eyes and the ocelli almost smooth. 

 Thorax shining, mesonotum sparsely and finely punctured on 

 the black fascite, more closely anteiiorly on the very prominent 

 median lobe ; notauli distinct, extending backwards beyond the 

 black lateral fasciae ; scutellum smooth and shining, with a few 

 small scattered punctures, postscutellum a little more closely 

 punctured. Median segment with the basal area smooth, short, 

 and separated from the areola only by lateral indications of a 

 carina; areola hexagonal, smooth, with, a few scattered punctures, 

 narrowed posteriorly, the carina separating it from the dentiparal 

 area broadly obsolete behind the middle ; dentiparal area smooth 

 and shining ; external area shining, microscopically punctured ; 

 spiracular area smooth, divided into three arepe by two sharply 

 marked carinse, both of which nearly touch the spiracle. Hind

coxae elongate, as long as the first tergite, nearly smooth dorsally, 

 but laterally and venti'ally distinctly and rather closely punctured ; 

 hind femora closely and finely punctured. First transverse cubital 

 nervure strongly oblique, second abscissa of the radius very little 

 shorter than the second transverse cubital nervure, second 

 recurrent nervure separated from the second transverse cubital 

 nervure by a distance equal to about half the length of that ner- 

 vure. Ungues (text-fig. 4, b) of the hind tarsi much less robust 

 than is usual in the genus ; hind empodium very small, not elon- 

 gate, only about one-third of the length of the unguis.

Very distinct from other species of the genus in tlie small 

 empodium, less robust hind tarsal ungues, prominent median lobe 

 of the mesonotum, and black markings. The antennae are also 

 less strongly thickened to the apex than in most species of the 

 genus. The groove between the face and clypeus is strongly 

 marked.
