Mesopleura without carinae along the epicnemial depressions for the fore and middle legs. Legs normal. Venation of wings of the usual Eumenes type. First abdominal segment long and slender, slightly longer than the thorax, but shorter than head and thorax, about three and one-half times as long as its greatest width seen from above ; in profile distinctly curved and much more swollen in its apical than in its basal half, the transition between the two portions being rather.

Second segment quite large, conspicuously swollen and nearly as long and high as the thorax in profile, bell-shaped and enclosing the greater part of the succeeding segments ; in profile it is about as high as long and moderately compressed ; basal neck extremely short; apical margin duplicate ; the terminal lamella thin, membranous, smooth, separated by a deep groove from the preapical thickening. In the apical half the second tergite is raised along the middle line and. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced f
