Marginal fringes short. Grooves of scutellum slightly converging toward apex. Propodeum 
minutely, densely punctate, short at the meson, the lateral Carinas twice the length of the 
median, straight, the median forking at apex, the spiracle narrow-reniform, just mesad of the 
lateral earinm -which run caudo-laterad and are rather distant from the lateral margin. Second

joints large, wider than long. 
Male: — Not known. 
A genus easily recognized by the tricarinate propodeum, the tw r o grooves on the
