This species can not be identical vdth oceanica Mayr, which was 

 described from a female taken at Ovalau, because the clypeus is much 

 longer than broad and the petiole distinctly higher than thick. Type. 

 — M. C. Z. 8,725. 



77a. Camponotus (Colobopsis) maudella Mann, var. seemanni, 



var. nov. 



Soldier, worker, and female differing from these phases of typical maudcUa 

 in the color of the gaster, which is brownish yellow, similar to the thorax, with 

 each segment banded apically with fuscous, which extends forward as a 

 median blotch. 



Viti Levu: Nadarivatu. 



This color-pattern is constant in a series of soldiers and females. 

 Some of the workers have the bands indistinct, and the gaster almost 

 entirely yellow. Type. — M. C. Z. 8,726.

 Soldier. Length 7.5 mm.

 straight, posterior l^ordcr very shallowly concave. Mandibles with seven very 

 stout teeth. Clypeus elongate, strongly carinate at middle, narrowed in front 

 sides on truncated portion concave, anterior border very faintly concave.

 tal corners; the apical funicular joints barely one and one half times as long 

 as broad, terminal joint shorter than the two preceding joints together. 

 Thorax and petiole similar to maudella but the notch on dorsum of node more 

 pronounced.

 and the clypeus longitudinally striate, the striae becoming very feeble on 

 anterior portion of clypeus. Anterior portion of front densely longitudinally 

 atriolate. Remainder finely coriaceous.
