three-fourths times as broad as long; ocellocular line nearly 
twice as long as the postocellar line; whole head strongly retic- 
ulate-punctate, the mouth region not striated ; clypeus separated 
from the face by a very indistinct groove which is darker than 
the rest of the face ; the anterior margin of clypeus triarcuately 
emarginate, the emarginations not deep; mandibles very large, 
4-dentate; malar space at base of mandibles deeply concave; 
antennae inserted above the middle of the face; scape reaching 
a little beyond the posterior ocelli; pedicel nearly globular; two 
transverse ring joints; funicle 6-jointed, the first joint approx- 
imately twice as long as the pedicel, the following funicle joints 
gradually decreasing in length, the sixth nearly twice longer 
than broad; club 3-jointed, slightly longer than the two pre- 
ceding funicle joints; pronotum short, transverse, a little nar- 
rower than the mesoscutum, punctate, its posterior margin 
narrowly shining and impunctate; mesoscutum and scutellum 
sculptured like the head, the mesoscutum nearly twice as broad 
as long, with distinct complete parapsidal grooves ; axillae shining, 
with faintly reticulate sculpture ; propodeum medially sculptured 
like the scutellum, with a very distinct median carina, the lateral 
folds represented by a large round fovea at base on either side 
of the middle, the spiracular sulci very deep, the surface of the 
propodeum on either side of the spiracular sulcus smooth and 
polished; neck of propodeum short; marginal vein of forewing 
distinctly though not greatly thickened; stigmal vein slightly 
shorter than the marginal and with a rather large knob; post- 
marginal very slender and somewhat longer than the marginal; 
abdomen approximately as long as thorax, spatulate in outline; 
petiole short, slender, and polished, much shorter than the hind 
coxae; following tergites all smooth and polished, the second 
triangular and constituting about one-third the length of the 
abdomen ; third and fourth together about equal in length to the 
second; those beyond the fourth very short. Head, thorax, and 
all coxae bright aeneous; apex of hind coxae more or less testa- 
ceous ; abdomen brownish black with more or less bluish metallic 
reflections; flagellum brownish black; antennal scape, pedicel,
