Remarks:

I was unable to locate the type. It was not found at the BMNH or at the Hope Entomological Collections , Oxford University , where WESTWOOD’S collections are apt to be found. WESTWOOD’S description is not adequate to place this species to genus. He described the species from a male from “ Mexico.” The following is from WESTWOOD: Black , very slender. Face , lower and behind part of head red brown, head small. Palpi black brown. Scape red brown. Neck lengthened, ventral red brown. Wings clear, distal end blackish, stigma black. Front and mid legs red brown, hind legs with coxa and femur blackish, knees red brown, tibia rusty, tarsus red brown with blackish distal end. Metasoma laterally compressed .
