Methocha nasiformis Kimsey 2011

Male. Body length. 7–13 mm. Head. Clypeus projecting into acute sometimes digitate medial projection (Fig. 13), apex subtruncate (Fig. 16); antennal lobes rounded; frons without medial projection or lobe above antennal sockets (Fig. 21); frons and vertex punctures separated by 1–2 puncture diameters; scapal ridge more than half length of scape; flagellomere I 1.8× as long as broad; flagellomere II 2.2× as long as broad; flagellomeres II and III 2.5–2.6× as long as broad; flagellomere XI 5× as long as broad. Mesosoma. Pronotal disk gently convex medially, shoulders evenly rounded; scutal punctures separated by 1 puncture diameter, except for less dense medial area; scutellum with punctuates 1 puncture diameter apart; mesopleuron highly polished with punctures 2–4 puncture diameters apart; propodeum covered with dense, contiguous punctures, becoming striatiform dorsally, dorsally with transverse ridges becoming U-shaped basally. Metasoma. Terga polished, punctures separated by 2–4 or more puncture diameters; sternum I punctures 1–4 puncture diameters apart; sterna II–VI basal part with punctures 0.5–1.0 puncture diameters apart, separated from posterior convex part by small transverse groove, posterior part with punctures 2–4 puncture diameters apart. Genitalia (Fig. 28). Paramere breadth at medial angle 4.5× breadth at halfway point between apex and medial angle, paramere length versus breadth at submedial angle 5×. Color. Black, with dark red mandibles, scapal carina yellow legs black to dark brown, trochanters sometimes paler; palpi reddish; wing membrane brown-tinted. Vestiture. Sparse erect, silvery.
