scutum and mesopleura much less coarsely punctured than 
in the 9 , and the punctures separated about twice the width 
of one, the mesoscutellum with the posterior punctures not 
crowded ; otherwise the thoracic sculpture as in the 9 . 
Thoracic pubescence yellowish white, short and thin and 
very feebly intermixed with blackish on the mesoscutellum, 
mesoscutellar hairs long and mostly blackish, hair of meta- 
notum, propodeum and mesopleura long and thin, the latter 
region with a few blackish hairs intermixed. Wings rather 
less darkened apically than in the 9 , otherwise similar. 
Tarsal claws sub-apically cleft, the apical tarsal joint some- 
times reddish. Tibial spurs not obviously pectinate. Hind 
basitarsi proportioned as in the 9 (21x7), the inter- 
mediate one about twice as long as wide (11=4.5x8.5). 
Hair of legs all pale. Abdomen elongate conical, polished, 
basal tergite minutely punctured, the punctures separated 
several times the width of one, following tergites very 
finely, indistinctly punctured. Apical margins of the
