 Santschi's

with a fine brownish pubescence, nerves and fringes brown. Erect
pilosity, undulating and long on the front (of head), sides of thorax,
coxae, petiole lobe and gaster. On the gaster the hairs are as long as
half a segment and less numerous than on elongatus. On the
thorax the pilosity is a little longer than the diameter of the ocelli.
Smooth, with a puncturation that is fine and less dense than on elongatus.
Head enlarged in front. Eyes occupying the anterior half of the sides
of the head . Occiput quite large to accomodate three ocelli; anterior
ocelli set behind the posterior level of the eyes. Scape reaching the
posterior quarter of the eyes. Funiculus narrowing medially, segments
3-5 narrower than long. Thorax a little less slender than in elongatus
and less distinctly narrowed in front. Petiole as long as wide
posteriorly, narrowing forward with a distinct median ridge as in elongatus
but wider. The posterior lobes seen laterally appear acuminate and the
node is a long as it is high, more convex below anteriorly than
