as long. Petiole in such workers often rather broad, with compressed, 

 feebly notched superior border. 



Sculpture of the body somewhat finer and more superficial than in 

 the typical /^/.scfl, so that the body is a little more shining. Moreover, 

 it often has a faint metallic luster. 



Hairs and pubescence pale yellow or whitish, the hairs short, sparse 

 and erect, as in the true fusca, the pubescence longer and denser, 

 giving the body and especially the gaster a silky appearance. Legs 

 and scapes with equally dense but shorter pubescence. 



Black; mandibles, antennae, ta^'si, and articulations of legs dull 

 red or brown. 



Female. Length 8-10.5 mm. 



Large and stout. Like the worker in sculpture, pilosity, and color. 

 Pubescence on the gaster even longer and more conspicuous. Legs 

 more reddish. Wings uniformly and rather deeply infuscated. 



Male. Length 9-10.5 mm. 



Resembling the male of the typical fusca, larger and more robust, 

 w^ith the pubescence, especially on the gaster, much longer and more 

 abundant and the wings deeply infuscated as in the female. The 

 shagreening of the body is coarse, so that the sm'face is rather opaque 

 and even the gaster is only very slightly shining.
