The many workers before me, agree closely with Andre's descrip- 

 tion and with workers from India received from Dr. Forel. This 

 species, like the related species siriatidcns Emery which Forel has 

 recorded from the Bismarck Archipelago but which I failed to find in 

 the Solomons, appears to be extending its range. 



79a. Triglyphothrix fulviceps Emery, subsp. antennata, subsp. 



nov. 



Worker. Length 2.25-2.50 mm. 



Head a little longer than broad, about as broad in front as behind, with 

 convex sides, narrowly angled posterior corners and concave border. Mandi- 

 bular blades 6-dentate, the three basal blades short, the others longer and acute. 

 Clypeus rather strongly convex, sharply carinate at middle; anterior border 

 feebly rounded. Antennal scapes almost attaining occipital corners; funicular 

 joints two to eight slightly transverse; terminal joint longer than the two 

 preceding joints taken together. Eyes large and convex, located at sides

of head, a little in front of middle. Thorax robust, in profile evenly convex ; 

 from above, broad in front with rounded humeral angles and nearly straight 

 sides. Base and declivity of epinotum not distinct; spines divergent, acute, 

 about as long as distance between their bases. Petiolar node in profile as long 

 as high, nearly straight in front, convex above and behind; from above, a little 

 longer than broad, narrowest in front, with convex sides. Postpetiole trans- 

 versely ovate; broader than petiole. 



Somewhat shining, the gaster and legs more so than the rest. Mandibles 

 and clypeus coarsely striate. Head longitudinally striate, the striae becoming 

 reticulate on vertex, sides, and occiput. Thorax, epinotum, petiole, and post- 

 petiole coarsely, cribrately punctate. Gaster coarsely but shallowly punc-
