the 4th longer and more slender; the following 3 stouter, longer, trian¬ 
gular ; the next two shorter, widely separated, bluntly rounded, the

ovipositor short, broad, acutely pointed at the apex, not projecting much. 
Frontal depression very smooth, bare and shining ; there is an indistinct

the antennse and clypeus is a smooth plate, obliquely narrowed above and 
below, the lower part narrower than the upper. Clypeus smooth, except 
for 4 fovese. Wings clear hyaline, the nervures black ; the stigmal branch
