Thorax oblong, the sides flattened, the disk slightly convex, and longitudinally striated, the oblique truncation of the metathorax transversely so; the apical joints of the tarsi rufo-piceous; the anterior tarsi and the tibiae beneath, clothed with ferruginous pubescence; the legs with a few short scattered ferruginous hairs, the calcaria ferruginous. Abdomen: the node of the peduncle incrassate, elevated to a level with the first segment of the abdomen, rounded above; when closely applied to the abdomen, forming apparently the basal segment; the apical segment with thin pale pubescence, and having an elongate naked shining narrow space in the middle; the abdomen thinly sprinkled with erect ferruginous hairs.

Hab. Rio. (Coll. Rev. Hamlet Clark.)

This species resembles the crassinoda   HNS of Latreille, but is at once distinguished by its smaller size, its striated head and thorax, and by the lateral margins of the latter having a sharp edge.
