Lower face, laterad of the clypeus, usually with more numerous and quite conspicuous punctures, these may be less distinct in some small specimens. Male antennal scape at least three times as long as broad ......... 3 (2) Female antennal scape reaching to, or above, the level of the vertex ; funicle of practically uniform thickness and slightly stouter than the pedicellus ; clava, except in small specimens, at least slightly shorter than the combined length of the three preceding funicular segments. Male antennal scape reaching slightly to far above the level of the vertex, its length fully equal to or slightly greater than the transverse diameter of an eye ; combined length of pedicellus and flagellum about 1-3 times the breadth of the head ; first funicular segment at least slightly longer than the pedicellus, all the funicular segments distinctly longer than broad ; bristles of flagellum standing out at an angle of 400 to 450 ....... 4 Female antennal scape hardly reaching level of vertex ; funicle (Text-fig. 194) thickening slightly towards the clava, which is as long as the three preceding funicular segments together. Male scape not reaching above level of vertex, its length hardly as great as the transverse diameter of an eye ; combined length of pedicellus and flagellum only slightly greater than the breadth of the head ; first funicular segment (Text-fig. 193) shorter than the pedicellus, funicular segments quadrate or at most slightly longer than broad ; bristles of flagellum standing out at a smaller angle, sometimes nearly decumbent .......... 5 (3) Female larger (length i-6 to 2-4 mm., but usually more than 1-9 mm.) ; gaster 1-4 to 1-7 times as long as broad, usually slight
