flagellum filiform, longer than head and pronotum together; tyloides present. Ocelli great, 'in a low triangle; ocello-ocular distance slightly less than five times the postocellar distance

. Pronotum margined anteriorly by a strong, complete carina; dorsal surface very sparsely punctate and shagreened in anterion region. Side of pronotum sharply rugoso-punctate behind carina, with a tapering series of diagonal rugae across center. Mesepisternum fainthly shagreened; primary punctures not very large, shallow but clearly outlined. Mesoscutum alutaceous, with minutely punctate apex. Scutellum shining, punctures weak. Metanotum without a dense median patch of minute punctures. Legs with the major calcarium of hind tibia tapering from its base; sensorium narrow, weakly impressed, basitarsus without sensorial groove. Propodeal areola two and onefourth times as long as wide; sides very convergents; median carina much shorter than disc, bifurcating beyond middle of disc in two minute carinae. Lower portion of side of propodeum weakly rugulose, without apparent hairs

. Posterior aspect of propodeum without median carina on declivity. First tergite with preapical band of punctures rather irregular as to size and arrangement but well separated except laterally, here band slightly espanded and punctures coalesced. First sternite shining, with well developed lateral grooves on entire posterior half or less. Second tergite alutaceous, the disc covered with sparse punctures; following tergites succesively more and more densely punctate except at base uniformly alutaceous. Fifth sternite with its lateral denticle a strong, obtuse tooth. Vulsella with apical process very long and slender (Fig. 2). Female unknown.
