Pirapora, Minas Gerais, Brasil (Cambridge). 
Female. Color: antenna dull brownish black with a large white 
blotch below on scape and a white band above on flagellomeres 6 
(apically)-12 (basally); head and mesosoma black with profuse white 
markings as follows: basal 0.6 of mandible; most of clypeus; most of 
face; very broad orbital band which expands across most of temple 
behind and fills malar space below; propleuron apically; broad ante- 
rior margin of pronotum; broad dorsal margin of pronotum, except 
on median 0.3; pair of stripes on mesoscutum; all but apex of scutel- 
lum; tegula; subalarum; anterior margin of mesopleuron dully; very 
broad oblique band between prepectus at mid-height and lower hind 
margin of mesopleuron, from which an ellipsoidal branch reaches 
forward below along sternaulus almost to prepectal carina; large 
blotch in upper hind corner of mesopleuron; posterior margin of 
mesopleuron; upper metapleuron; and all of posterio-lateral area 
of propodeum from crista to hind margin; gaster pale red with 
broad, complete white apical bands on tergites 1, 2, and 4, as well as

ble. Temple: 0.30 as long as eye in dorsal view; a little rounded off 
and strongly receding. Mesoscutum: notauli very weak and shal- 
low, vaguely suggested for about 0.6 the length of mesoscutum; 
surface rather dully shining with some fine micro-reticulation and 
with abundant, large, strong, subadjacent to adjacent or confluent 
punctures that average sparsest on lateral lobes but which also 
become widely spaced for a short distance on central lobe medially, 
the surface also with more or less well developed oblique wrinkling 
along notauli and with some reticulate wrinkling over an extensive 
central area behind. Mesopleuron: speculum swollen, smooth and
