Allotype. — 9, brazil: Nova Teutonia, Santa Catarina, Feb. 1, 
1963 (F. Plaumann) [MCZ]. 
Description of female allotype. — Length 4.2 mm; LFW 3.0 mm. 
Black, shining, the extreme tip of the abdomen suffused with brown; 
mandibles ferruginous, black at extreme base; scape dark brown 
above, paler beneath, flagellum testaceous, weakly suffused with brown 
on upper surface ; legs fuscous except front and middle tibiae and all 
tarsi testaceous; wings subhyaline. Mandibles slender, with a strong 
apical tooth, basad of this with a truncate cutting edge. Clypeus 
with a protuberant, narrowly rounded median lobe. Third antennal 
segment about as long as wide, segment eleven 1.5 X as long as 
wide. WH .90 X LH ; eyes convergent below, WF 1.08 X HE; 
vertex passing straight across far above eye tops (except slightly gib- 
bous just behind the ocellar triangle) ; ocelli in a broad triangle, 
OOL 1.4 X WOT; anterior ocellus far above eye tops. Front 
strongly shining, obscurely alutaceous, with small, widely spaced 
punctures. Thoracic dorsum more evidently alutaceous than head ; 
pronotal disc 1.7 X as long as mesoscutum, with distinct, somewhat 
irregularly spaced punctures; mesoscutum with a few weak punc- 
tures; scutellar pits oblique, about twice as long as wide, separated 
by twice their own length. Propodeal disc 1.3 X as wide as long, 
with complete median and lateral carinae, otherwise shining and with 
weak sculpturing except in a large, median, basal triangle, where 
there are several irregular longitudinal carinae and transverse ridges. 
Mesopleura shining, foveae not defined, but with a ridge which 
passes above the pit and then arches downward to form what would 
usually be the lower margin of the lower fovea. Front femora very 
broad, measuring twice as long as their greatest width, the middle 
femora even more robust, 1.7 X as long as wide; middle tibiae with 
long spines above and below; claws weakly dentate. Abdomen 
robust, not depressed. 
Holotype. — cf, brazil: same data as allotype except collected 
in June, 1952 [MCZ]. 
Description of male type. — Length 4.0 mm; LFW 3.1 mm. 
Black, shining; mandibles testaceous except black at base, rufous at 
apex; antennae wholly rufo-testaceous, the flagellum a bit dusky, 
especially apically; coxae and femora dark brown, legs otherwise 
light brown; wings subhyaline. Mandibles very slender, the apex 
acute, simple. Clypeus with a protuberant, subangulate median lobe. 
First four antennal segments in a ratio of about 22:10:11:16, seg- 
ment three 1.3 X as long as thick, segment eleven 2.1 X as long
