frontal lobes without transverse connectives, not reticulate. 
Those rugae which are immediately lateral to this central 
band distinctly reticulate, as are most of those on the 
cheeks and genae. Rugae on the occiput confined to the 
area adjacent to the lateral ocelli. These occipital rugae 
are strongly reticulate, not longitudinal. Behind them is a 
band which extends to the occipital flange that is not 
reticulate but covered with piligerous punctures only. 
Pronotum with wavy rugae whose direction is roughly 
parallel to the suture between the pronotum and the scutum. 
Scutum with very feeble rugae in front which become 
stronger toward the rear, particularly at the middle third 
of the scutum. These rugae continue across the paraptera 
and the anterior half of the scutellum but turn inward and 
become transverse on the posterior half of the scutellum. 
Epinotum transversely rugose, the rugae on the concave 
area above and between the epinotal spines more feeble 
than elsewhere. Mesothoracic sternite and episternite with 
feeble rugae, their surface more shining than the other 
thoracic sclerites. Petiole granulo-rugose, dull; postpetiole 
with few rugae and with feebler granulation than the 
petiole, particularly at the crest where it is rather strongly 
shining. Coxae and gaster strongly shining, the principal 
sculpture consisting of scattered piligerous punctures. The 
surface of the gaster also has an extremely delicate reticu- 
late sculpture which is so fine that it can be seen only at 
high magnifications and in oblique lights. Appendages 
more heavily punctured and with their surface less shining 
than the coxae and gaster. 
Erect hairs on the head, thorax and gaster golden in 
color and rather short. Fairly numerous on both the upper 
and lower surfaces of the head. About equally numerous on 
the scutum and the scutellum. Sparse on the pronotum and 
usually absent entirely on the mesothoracic sternite and 
episternite. Erect hairs on the petiole largely confined to 
the rear face of the node. Postpetiole with the erect hairs 
more evenly distributed, most of those on the dorsal surface 
distinctly longer than those on the ventral surface. Erect 
hairs evenly spaced over the entire dorsum of the first gas- 
tric segment. On succeeding segments the erect hairs are
