joints two to six moderately transverse; club slender, as long as the rest of 

 funiculus, terminal joint nearly four times as long as the penultimate. Eyes 

 minute, composed of only one facet. Promesonotum a little longer than broad, 

 rounded above and at sides. Mesoepinotal impression profound. Epinotum 

 with equal base and declivity, the former flattened, the latter slightly concave 

 and margined laterally. Petiolar node in profile subtriangular, rounded above; 

 about as long as the pedicel; from above broader than long. Postpetiole 

 slightly broader than petiole, and one and one third times as broad as long. 



Shining throughout. Epinotum and pedicel of petiole coarsely and densely, 

 though shallowly, punctate and less shining than the other parts. 



Front and clyjDeus with a few long and coarse hairs. Head and gaster 

 sparsely and microscopically pubescent. 



Color yellow to yellow-brown. 



Ugi: Pawa (Type-locality). Ysabel: Fulakora. 



The Pawa specimens are darker than those from Fulakora but other- 

 wise identical. 



Solcnojms ixncaensis resembles yaimana Emery, but differs in its 

 minute eyes, the narrower petiole and in the coarse punctuation of the 

 epinotum and pedicel. 



61. SOLENOPSIS CLEPTIS, Sp. nOV. 



Worker. Length 1 mm. 



Head quadrangular, longer than broad, as broad in front as behind, with 

 nearly straight sides, broadly rounded occipital corners and straight border. 

 Mandibles stout, 3-dentate. Clypeus bicarinate, the carinae Uttle divergent, 

 terminating in acuminate teeth. Antennae short, scapes extending less than 

 two thirds the distance to occipital corners; funicular joints two to six twice 

 as broad as long; terminal joint slender, as long as the rest of funiculus. Eyes 

 situated at front fourth of head, as long as the diameter of scape at base. Pro- 

 mesothorax one and a half times as long as broad; pronotum with rounded 

 sides. Basal portion of epinotum convex and rounding into the declivity 

 which is convex and three times as long as the base., Petiolar node in profile 

 with nearly straight anterior surface; the top and posterior surface round into 

 each other; ventral surface strongly bisinuate; peduncle much shorter than 

 the node; node from above subglobose, as broad as long. Postpetiole a 

 little broader than the node and a little broader than long. 



Shining, with sparse, shallow punctures, each with a long, erect hair. Legs 

 and antennae with shorter, suberect hairs. Mandibles sparsely punctate.
