Female. — Length 7 to 8.5 mm. ; very robust species ; abdomen particu- 
larly broad; head very much enlarged back of compound eyes; clypeus 
very shallowly excavated, lobes short, rounded; frontal crest and sides 
of ocellar basin strongly and distinctly defined, the former very minutely 
notched; antenna] fovea extending laterally over bases of antenme; 
antenme moderately slender, tapering, joints distinctly defined, 1 and 
2 equal; second recurrent vein interstitial with second transverse 
cubital; third cubital cell two and one-half times as long on lower mar- 
gin as wide at base; discal cells of hind wings long, narrow, upper 
usually exceeding the lower; stigma rather broad, oval, not tapering 
more at apex than at base; sheath moderately broad and thick, ob- 
liquely truncate, upper edge nearly straight; cerci rather long, not 
tapering; claws with a very minute inner tooth, about J of length of 
claw from apex. Color resinous or sulphur yellow; antenme, small 
spot including ocelli, stripe on lateral lobes of mesonotum, spot on 
either side of and on base of scutellum, metanotum, tergum except 
narrow lateral margin and the two terminal segments, and sheath 
brownish black; bases of posterior coxre, apices of their tibhe and their 
tarsi, infuseated. There is ordinarily a faint trace of a black stripe 
on the middle lobe of the mesonotum, and in light specimens the black 
markings of the mesonotum are nearly obliterated, and the abdomen
