scape, except the apex, annulus on antennae, middle coxae and trochan- 
ters, and the base of four hind tarsi honey-yellow, the markings of 
the legs being somewhat paler, especially apicallj\ Head three times 
as wide as thick when seen from above, and a trifle longer than wide 
when seen from in front, its surface microscopically rugulose. Front 
above the antennae almost flat, scarcely impressed. Malar furrow 
distinct. Ej-es oval, distinctly hairy, separated above by more than 
one-third the width of the head, the lateral ocelli near, but not con- 
tiguous with the eye-margin. Antennae slender, inserted consider- 
ably below the level of the lower eye-margin; flagellum slightly thick- 
ened apicall}^ not quite twice as long as the scape, the single ring- 
joint as long as thick. Thorax very short, the mesonotum sharply 
declivous, the parapsidal elevations sharp. Prothorax as w ide as long, 
transversely aciculated; mesonotum scarcely as long as wide; the 
scutellum so sharply declivous behind that its surface forms a right 
angle with the surface of the mesonotum. Axillae small, triangular, 
scutellum broad, finely rugulose, as is also the short, simple meta- 
thorax. Abdomen ovate, as wide as the thorax and two and one-half 
times as long as wide, subopaque and sparsely pale hairy; the upper 
surface and the v.enter both convex; six visible segments, the second 
to fifth of about equal length, their posterior margins not incised; 
sixth longer, rounded at the tip, and with a few scattered punctures, 
ovipositor slightly exerted. Venter more shining. Legs rather stout, 
the anterior femora slightly swollen ; middle tibiae with a strong black 
spine, the middle metatarsi spinose; posterior femora swollen near 
the base, their tibiae of even width and distinctly arcuated. Wings 
very small and narrow, extending only to the tip of the metathorax; 
fuscous, with an oblique band near the apex. They are distinctly 
angled or broken near the middle.
