[April 
rather shallow below, deeper above, pubescence quite thin and 
short, white; vertex quite finely punctate, the punctures well 
separated, surface finely tessellated between the punctures, 
pubescence long and thin, pale, with some short inconspicuous 
black hairs intermixed; lateral ocelli about equally distant from 
eyes and edge of vertex; front below ocelli well punctured, but 
the punctures not crowded; antennae apparently reddened (both 
are broken, only the stub of one flagellum left); pubescence 
below anterior ocellus white and quite dense, clypeus nearly 
bare, with some inconspicuous yellowish hairs at sides. 
Thorax white pubescent except above, mesonotum with at 
least some dark pubescence (rubbed), and apparently also the 
scutellum; mesonotum rather dull, punctures quite small, close 
laterally and somewhat so anteriorly, sparse in center, the surface 
finely tessellated; scutellum with fine, widely separated punc- 
tures; pleura with crowded, rather fine punctures above, be- 
coming coarser below; propodeum tessellate, with numerous 
fine and indistinct punctures, basal triangle granular; tegulae 
dark ferruginous, minutely but fairly closely punctured; wings 
faintly infuscated, darker apically, nervures piceous to brownish, 
second recurrent nervure entering second submarginal cell 
slightly nearer apex than the first does to base; legs dark red, 
white pubescent, yellow on tarsi beneath, middle and hind meta- 
tarsi not quite as broad as their tibiae, the middle ones with 
rather long stiff whitish pubescence exteriorly, front metatarsi 
with a thin but long fringe posteriorly; spurs reddish-testaceous; 
claws reddish-testaceous basally, brighter red apically, with short 
and sharp basal setae, almost toothed. 
Abdomen cordate, apical segments shining, punctures fine, 
quite close on basal segments, rather sparse on apical ones except 
the sixth; pubescence short and black, entirely white on segment 
1 and white basally on segment 2; segments 1-5 with entire 
conspicuous apical white fasciae, narrow on segments 1 and 2, 
broader on 3-5; segments quite deeply impressed apically at 
sides, but slightly so medially; segment 6 quite broad, closely 
and finely punctured, slightly but distinctly concave at sides 
when viewed from above, straight in profile, with an obscure 
median longitudinal ridge on which the pubescence is black and
