elevated. Postnotum distinct, half as long as metanotum, lightly 
impressed medially. Propodeum somewhat longer than broad, nar- 
rowed and less steeply sloping behind, without discernible sculpturing 
except indication of a median groove. Fore tarsi without a comb, 
second to fourth segments short, the second as long as broad, the 
following shorter. Hind tibiae with scattered, short spines. Claws 
slender, with a sharp tooth before the apex, also with a distinct fan 
of bristles (Haupt’s fig. 84 J) ; claw-comb with a very short plate, 
its barbules sparse, surpassing the pulvillus. 
Re/narks . — I have not seen this species, but since it has been 
described and figured by Haupt in considerable detail, it seems de- 
sirable to provide a name for it.
