small hairs, elongated (15:11); front margin of great tergite with 
very indistinct notch medially followed by impressed groove, tergite 
smooth, shining, hairy, occupying almost the whole body of meso- 
soma; the fold on great sternite very distinct, extending back to very 
end of sternite and here united to form a complete oval suture.

September i960, Fritz Plaumann coll. (Museum of Comparative 
Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., type no. 31726). 
Length 1.1 mm. Head, scape, mesosoma and petiole amber yellow, 
rest of metasoma darker, flagellum and legs bright yellow. 
Head covered with dense silvery hairs all over, longer than wide 
(17:14), wider than mesosoma (14:11), longer than high (17:12); 
punctures fine yet very dense, contiguous, absent only on little smooth 
spot just above antennal insertion; hind genae with no tuft of hairs; 
vertex with crest which is sharp and distinct laterally but almost 
missing medially; antenna as in fig. 11. 
Mesosoma constricted, almost flat dorsally, longer than wide 
(20:11), slightly wider than high (11:9), hairy; prothorax fused 
with mesothorax both dorsally and laterally; mesoscutum fused with 
scutellum and metanotum, evenly longitudinally rugoso-punctate 
all over; mesepisternum distinctly separated by sutures from both 
prothorax and propodeum; propodeum separated from thorax by 
constriction and distinct suture both dorsally and laterally, of 
same sculpture as mesonotum; coxae and femora incrassate; tarsi 
4-segmented (!), claws large (fig. 12). 
Petiole slightly longer than wide (8:5), bent if seen laterally, hairy 
and finely punctate all over; front margin of great tergite deeply 
notched medially, the tergite almost bare antero-medially but densely 
hairy laterally and posteriorly, occupying not more than 2/3 of the
