Head slightly longer than broad, occipital angles broadly rounded, border straight. Frontal carinae short, their lobes small. Clypeus strongly and acutely carinate at middle, projecting in front, the projected portion twice as broad as long with a feebly biconvex border. Mandibles shorter than sides of head. Antennal scapes slightly surpassing the occipital corners; funicular joints one and three subequal in length and shorter than the second; joints four to ten sub- equal; terminal joint a little less than twice the length of penultimate. Pro- thorax broader than long; rounded in front and at sides; in profile only slightly convex above. Mesothorax a little broader than long, the sides and front rounded. Mesoepinotal impression pro- found. Epinotum convex, broadest be- hind; in profile the basal portion is one and two third times as long as the de- clivity. Petiole very slightly longer than broad; in profile, slightly higher than long, rounded in front and at top; pos- terior surface flat. Gaster slender; con- striction between first and second gastric segments not strong. Shining. Front rugulosely punctate, vertex at middle with short trans- verse and reticulate carinulae; remainder of head, thorax, epinotum (except declivity), and petiole with coarse foveolate punctures which are more dense and confluent on the epinotum than elsewhere. Epinotal declivity trans- versely striate. Gaster more shallowly punctate. Mandibles and antennae shining, punctate. Pilosity long and fine, abundant; erect on head and body, semierect on antennae. The femora and tibiae have, in addition to semierect pile, finer and recumbent Fig. 9.— Leptogenys (Lepto
