  nervures 
  

   touching 
  above 
  ; 
  the 
  lower 
  side 
  angled

  the 
  apical 
  abscissa 
  

   of 
  the 
  radius 
  is 
  curved 
  upwards. 
  Eyes 
  larger 
  than 
  usual 
  ;

  ; 
  

   its

  semicircularly 
  depressed.

  nearly 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   mesothorax 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  gradual 
  slope 
  to 
  the 
  apex, 
  has 
  the 
  

   small, 
  somewhat 
  oval, 
  spiracles 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  has 
  no

  not 
  strongly,

   slender 
  ; 
  the 
  hinder 
  coxae 
  large, 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  petiole, 
  

   which 
  becomes 
  gradually 
  wider 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  

   spiracles 
  on 
  the 
  petiole 
  are 
  circular 
  and 
  are 
  situated 
  

   shortly 
  before 
  the 
  middle

  the 
  apex

  not 
  

   curved.

  bifid. 
  Ovipositor 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  

   abdomen, 
  and 
  issuing 
  from 
  a 
  ventral 
  cleft. 
  

  

  The 
  abscissa 
  of 
  the 
  radius 
  is 
  curved 
  upwards 
  at 
  the 
  

   base 
  ; 
  the 
  transverse 
  basal 
  nervure 
  is 
  interstitial 
  ; 
  the 
  

   recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of
