Diagnosis.

Clypeus in female wholly black, in male almost yellow except for apical margin (Figs 13 , 15 ); cephalic fovea well developed, with two pits; total width of two pits distinctly shorter than distance between posterior ocelli (Fig. 12 ); anterior vertical face of pronotum medially with two separated elliptical depressions and indistinct fine transverse striae, but laterally almost smooth (Fig. 16 ); tegula with broad posterior lobe equal to parategula (Fig. 17 ); metanotum indistinctly faintly bi-dentate, lower vertical surface of metanotum coriaceous (Fig. 21 ); second recurrent vein of second submarginal cell close to first recurrent one, and nearly straight (Fig. 14 ); posterior surface of propodeum with few fine transverse striae and a median longitudinal carina (Fig. 21 ); tergum II with small or medium punctures, distances between punctures greater than diameters, and with short apical lamella (Fig. 20 ).
