course striation ; the central part of the mesopleurse shining, 
impunctate ; sternum shining, punctured, deeply furrowed 
in the centre. Metathorax large, the apex obliquely vertical ; 
areolas obsolete ; a keel runs down the side on the inner 
side of the spiracle ; one goes round the top of the vertical 
part of the metanotum from a large obtuse tubercle or 
blunt tooth situated a little above the middle, and from the 
incomplete supramedial area (which is square, but wants 
the apical keel) a keel runs in a curve to the lateral longi- 
tudinal keel, joining it below the middle. Petiole broad at 
the apex, tlie narrow apical part slightly hollowed at the 
base, and with a stout keel on either side, this keel running 
into the base of the post petiole, which is keeled along the 
edge ; shining, closely longitudinally striated, except the 
extreme apex of the post petiole. The base of the second 
segment is finely longitudinally striated ; without any gas- 
trocoeli ; the rest of the abdomen shining, impunctate. The 
apical segments of the abdomen are compressed laterally, 
and bear a fringe of fulvous hair ; the sheaths of the ovipo- 
sitor are pilose. Legs (especially the femora) stout ; covered 
with a fulvous pile, especially thick on the tibiae and tarsi, 
hind COX 80 rugosely punctured; the hollow on the upper 
side transversely striated ; the femora and tibiae are punc- 
tured. Areolet pentagonal, the under nervure obsolete ; the 
recurrent nervure received a little beyond the middle, and 
not received in an acute angle. 
The face is obscured with black on the upper side ; the 
four anterior femora are lined with black above, and there 
is a black mark on the upper side of the posterior tibiae at 
the base.
