Antennae moderately elongate ; the flag- ellum gradually swollen to its apical third ; antennal segments—5 distinctly and 6 slightly longer than wide, 7 almost square, 8 to 11 wider than long, 12 slightly longer than wide at base. Thorax short oval, about one-fourth longer than high in profile and distinctly longer than wide seen from above. Pronotum not quite squarely truncate ; the anterior margin rimmed throughout with a very fine raised line ; below the humeral angles it becomes a strong but flattened Fig. 7.—Eumenes arnoldi, J. Bequaert. A, female in profile ; B, antenna of female ; C, first tergite of female from above. deeply sinuate about midway. Humeral angles inconspicuous and broadly rounded off, the dorsal aspect of the pronotum being narrow and elongate as compared with E. acuminatus. Mesonotum about as broad as wide, with a median, impressed, longitudinal line over its anterior half. Scutellum rather strongly, but uniformly convex ; the anterior half, which is in the dorsal face of the thorax, gradually curved into the posterior, sloping part ; divided by a fine longitudinal, median line, which is not appreciably raised anteriorly. Post- scutellum almost flat, entirely within the posterior slope of the thorax, without any trace of median line. Propodeum quite short seen from above, moderately convex, completely rounded off, without ridges or projecting angles ; the median groove broad and shallow, a little.
