(5" . Mandibles simple ; clypeus distinctly separated from tlie 

 face, convex; face smooth, subquadrate ; vertex amd temples 

 smooth and shining. Antennae 28-jointed, third and fourth 

 joints subequal, joints five to eight diminishing gradually, in the 

 funicle the first fifteen joints are cylindrical. Thorax shining, 

 epimeral furrows crenulate throughout. Median segment with 

 the apical carina of the basal area complete, areola and external 

 are?e smooth ; petiolar and adjacent areje, the apical two-thirds

rugae in front of the coxa. Petiole without a subbasai tooth, but 

 the spiracular area prominent ; spiracles well behind the middle ; 

 abdomen shining, smooth. Areolet (text-fig. 2) pentagonal, second 

 abscissa of the radius shorter than either of the transverse cubital 

 nervures, distance between the recurrent nervure and the second 

 transverse cubital nervure equal to nearly half the length of the 

 latter nervure ; second recurrent nervure only feebly bent in the

Yery distinct in the neuration from the larger species of the 

 genus. Probably this will eventually prove to be generically 

 distinct, but in the present state of our knowledge it is hardly 

 necessary to divide the genus.
