Notoncus enormis

Identification

 * Scutellum in the form of a thick, rounded tumulus or oval process.
 * Propodeum distinctly, widely and rather coarsely striate, and largely subopaque throughout; dorsum of gaster generally densely punctulate (weakly so in some individuals) and with dense appressed pubescence; mandibles largely smooth and shining above, with coarse punctures.
 * Larger species, maximum head width exceeding 1.9 mm; appressed pubescence almost entirely restricted to gaster; head and mesosoma much more coarsely sculptured, individual cephalic striae clearly wider than an eye facet; propodeum angular, not rounded.
