margin; the thorax is chiefly rufous, not dark 
reddish brown to blackish brown; the abdo- 
men is without distinct black crossbands, ex- 
cept for a narrow band across the base of the 
fifth tergum; also, the wings are apparently 
much more intensely fumose in longicornis. 
The female has not been adequately de- 
scribed. The color is predominantly rufous 
and the body rather thickly covered with fine 
yellow pile, except for the gray pile on the 
pleura. Head: Front scarcely longer than wide, 
with no dark markings except for a moderately 
large velvety black spot on each side of the 
lower margin (to the sides of the lunule). No 
inferior fronto-orbital bristles and only one 
small pair of superior fronto-orbitals are pres- 
ent. The frontal calli are clearly defined and 
extend about 0.5 the length of the front. The 
face has a brown spot in each antennal furrow. 
The antennae are yellow to brownish red, and 
the proportions are typical of the genus. The I 
occiput is entirely yellow. Thorax: The yellow | 
transverse stripe over each mesopleuron is | 
narrow, scarcely as wide as the notopleural j 
callus. The yellow on the mesopleura con- j 
tinues onto the sternopleura for a short dis- I 
tance; it also continues over the notopleura |i 
and along the lateral sutures, extending 0.33 [ 
of the way across the mesonotum on each side ‘ 
and interrupted by red coloration in the me- i| 
dian portion. No postsutural yellow vittae j 
are present on the mesonotum. The scutellum I 
is yellow with a brownish-red band across its ii 
base. One pair of scutellar bristles and three ! 
pairs of supraalars are present. Prescutellars I 
are lacking. Legs: Entirely pale except for a ! 
brown tinge on the undersurface of the hind 
femora. Two strong black spines are present ! 
on the underside of each front femur (Fig. \d ) . 
Wings: Entirely pale yellow to brown fumose.
