anteriorly; the metathorax smooth and shining, with three oblique carinae
on each side, and a small subovate enclosed space in the middle of the
disk. Abdomen punctured, all the segments margined at their apex, and
each with a deeply impressed line at their extreme lateral margins; the
sixth segment with two minute black spots at its basal margin, the two
apical segments smooth and shining; the ovipositor black.
