William Morton Wheeler. 
4-jointed, maxillary palpi long, evidently 6-jointed, but the terminal 
joints are lacking. Antennse robust; scapes reaching to the posterior 
corners of the head; first funicular joint twice as long as broad, 
second joint l 1 / 2 times, and the remaining joints, except the last, 
scarcely longer than broad. Thorax long and slender, narrower than 
the head, broadest through the pronotum, which is fully as long as 
broad. Mesonotum not convex, somewhat shorter than the pronotum, 
longer than broad, a little narrower behind than in front and on the 
sides not separated by sutures from the episterna. Mesoepinotal con- 
striction short and distinct, not deep, nor with the metathoracic spiracles 
approximated in its dorsal concavity. Epinotum long, flattened and 
laterally compressed, its base scarcely convex, longer than the decli- 
vity. The latter is sioping and has an inverted V-shaped concavity, 
the arms of which extend over onto the episternal angles and there 
run forward to a tapering point on each side. Petiole small, not 
higher than long, its node inclined forward, pointed above, with a 
rather sharp border and flat posterior surface. Gaster large, its base 
overhanging the petiole. Legs long and stout, the femora, especially, 
being unusually robust. 
Shining; the whole body, including the scapes and legs beautifully 
shagreened, the head and thorax reticulately, the gaster transversely.
