wheeler: the ants of borneo. 97 



Head, legs, and dorsal surface of body covered with dirty white, flattened, 

 appressed, scale-like hairs, fine and numerous on the clypeus and mandibles, 

 long and conspicuous on the external borders of the antennal scapes, tibiae, 

 and tarsi, absent on the pleurae and lateral surfaces of the coxae. 



Ferruginous brown; appendages scarcely paler. 



Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. John Hewitt at 

 Kuching in 1908 "in an old fungus." 



Additional material may show that this is merely a small subspecies 

 of Rh. yroccra Emery of New Guinea. The female of this form 

 measures 5 mm. and has the petiolar node broader than long. Rh. 

 borneensis seems also to be more opaque than procera, but Emery's 

 description of the female is very brief.
