Brown-black ; mandibles, antennre, and legs paler. 



L. 2-5mra.-3-2mm. . . . Siib-sp. tuhenim (s.str.), Fabr. 



Pedicel of L. tuhenim (s.str.), i 

 (Continental). 



Pedicel of L. tuherum [s.str.), i 

 (British). 



Joints 2-5 of funiculus much longer than broad, but not so long as in the 

 preceding. Mandibles quinquidentate. Head, thorax and pedicel finely rugose j 

 gaster smooth and shining. Epinotum without tooth-like tubercles. 



Brown-black ; mandibles, antennae, and legs paler. 



L. 2-7mm Sub-sp. iii/^fnon, (s.s^r.), Fabr. Var. passing to Mifer-

From two $ s from the Seaton colony. 



Joints 2-5 of funiculus as broad as long. Mandibles quadridentate. Head, 

 thorax, and pedicel finely rugose ; mesonotum sometimes somewhat smooth in 

 front. Gaster smooth and shining. Petiole viewed in profile rising from the 

 anterior end to a high point, descending vertically, then continuing horizontally 

 to its junction with postpetiole, which is higher than long. Top of petiole broad 

 and flat. Epinotum with two blunt tooth-like tubercles. 



Brown-black ; mandibles, antennae, and legs paler. 



L. 2-5mm Sub-sp., interruptus, Sch. 



From S s from the New Forest colony, and descriptions and

 (^ s in collections; Forel, when sending me a description of the 

 pedicel, mentions that he has only one, and Emery possesses two, 

 which came from Forel. The form of the pedicel distinguishes this 

 ^ from any of the others, and led me to consider the New Forest 

 specimens a distinct sub-species and not the var. tnhero-a (finis, For.,

since the pedicel of affiniti is even more elongate than in tuherum^ 

 (s.str.), and still further removed from the New Forest specimens. The 

 descriptions and drawings from Forel and Emery show the pedicel of
