thorax, of even thickness throughout, further from each other at the 
base than from the eyes, the interantennal prominence blunt at the 
apex and divided by a well marked longitudinal sulcus which reaches 
the anterior ocellus, the posterior ocelli as far from each other as from 
the eyes, the space between them and the eyes smooth and slightly 
depressed. Pronotum as broad as the head, the anterior margin slightly 
raised with a transverse groove interrupted in the middle behind it ; 
the whole thorax smooth and shining with a few small and. scattered 
punctures, the mesopleuræ opaque and finely and closely punctured. Meso- 
notum with two longitudinal sulci on each side, the inner one very broad 
and deep, the space between the sulci more closely punctured. Scutellum 
very large and very broadly rounded posteriorly, the postscutellum very 
broadly rounded, projecting a little beyond the median segment and 
with a small tubercle in the middle. Median segment shining, almost 
smooth, almost vertically truncated, the dorsal surface concealed. Abdo¬ 
men shining, with large scattered punctures, elongate conical ; the basal 
segment vertically truncate anteriorly, the sixth ventral segment with 
a stout spine on each side at the apical angles ; the seventh dorsal 
segment produced into a flat, longitudinaly striated plate, narrowly 
emarginate at the apex ; hypopygium as broad at the base as long with 
two blunt teeth on each side and an acute apical spine, obliquely striated 
above, closely punctured and longitudinally carinate below. There is no 
perceptible depression (between the two basal ventral segments. The 
labrum is prominent and narrowly truncated at the apex. Black; the 
mandibles (except the extreme apex), clypeus, the interantennal promi¬ 
nence (except the dividing sulcus), the margins of the eyes narrowly 
interrupted at the summit, the anterior margin of the pronotum very 
narrowly and a transverse line in the middle of the posterior margin, 
a spot on the propleuræ, a spot above the intermediate and another, 
long and broad, above the posterior coxæ, the postscutellum, median 
segment, a large spot on each side of dorsal abdominal segments 1—5 
largest on the first and almost meeting in the middle, a minute spot 
on each side of the sixth segment, a spot on each side of ventral 
segments 2—5, meeting in the middle on the second segment and a 
broad line on the posterior coxæ above and below pale yellow; the 
apex of the anterior femora very narrowly testaceous. "Wings very pale 
fusco-hyaline ; nervures black.
