apical median portion depressed and broadly rounded ; an oblique, 
low, rounded ridge over each antennal fossa ; front convex, with 
large, well-separated punctures ; vertex and posterior orbits prac- 
tically impunctate; occiput with rather close, small punctures; 
ocelli rather small; postocellar line somewhat less than half as 
long as the ocellocular line; antennas stout, flagellar joints punc- 
tured, apical joint truncate, not as long as the two preceding; 
pronotum rounded, impunctate medianly, laterally uniformly 
rather closely punctured; scutum with sparse, large punctures 
except for two rather narrow, linear areas sublaterally ; scu- 
tellum, metanotum, and dorsal part of propodeum (except an 
impunctate area on inner basal part of each lateral area) with 
rather large uniform punctures ; tegulse, except at extreme base, 
impunctate ; lateral posterior areas of propodeum punctured, the 
median area impunctate; sides of propodeum sparsely punc- 
tured, separated from dorsal surface by a sharp carina; mes- 
episternum coarsely punctured; abdomen shining, very sparsely 
punctured; first tergite short, the anterior surface with distinct 
but small punctures; apical tergites with large, rather close 
punctures; posterior calcaria stout, short, the longer one not 
half as long as basitarsus; second sternite truncate basally; 
pygidium rounded apically, shining, sparsely punctured; hypo- 
pygidium shining, lateral angles rather small, median lobe trape- 
zoidal in outline except for rounded apex. Black, basal tergites 
with a bluish reflection; hair rather sparse, black; wings 
uniformly deep violaceous. 
Male. — Length, 14 millimeters; length of anterior wing, 11 
millimeters. Head of normal size, subshining ; f rons with rather 
close, large punctures; vertex and occiput sparsely punctured; 
postocellar line but little shorter than the ocellocu-lar line ; clypeus 
convex, punctured laterally, apical margin truncate ; basal 
flagellar joints short (antennae wanting beyond fifth joint) ; 
scutum uniformly punctured; punctuation of scutellum, meta- 
notum, and propodeum like female but sparser; mesepisternum 
very coarsely punctured; pygidium shining, sparsely punctured, 
obtusely angled apically ; abdomen punctured like female.
