&c., but it is readily distinguished from any of the described 
genera by the extraordinary structure of the ovipositor. 
Other noteworthy characters are the 9-jointed antennse, 
placed high up on the face, the structure of the third and 
fourth abdominal segments, &c. The tarsi in the only 
specimen I have are incomplete.

Antennse black; head, prothorax in front, pleurse and 
metanotum (the latter much brighter in tint) green, suf- 
fused with coppery tints, the rest of thorax coppery ; basal 
three segments of abdomen reddish-testaceous; the other 
segments black, suffused with coppery tints; base of oviposi- 
tor black ; the flanges brilliant coppery ; the coxge, trochan- 
ters and femora, metallic green; the upper side of hind femora, 
the knees broadly and tibiae testaceous, and tarsi red. Wings 
hyaline; the nervures fuscous. Head and thorax closely 
punctured ; the excavation on pleurse and the pleurse behind 
more shining and but slightly punctured ; the scutellum less 
strongly punctured than the mesonotum and more shining. 
There is a stout, straight central, and two lateral, converging 
keels on the metanotum. Abdomen shining, the apical seg- 
ments obscurely shagreened. Coxse (especially the hinder, 
which are hollowed behind) punctured. The face, pleurse, 
and apical segments of the abdomen are covered with a 
spare, whitish pubescence.
