narrower than 2, 4, and 5 ; 4 longer and broader than any of the others. 

 Eehxtive lenj?ths of joints, approximately : — 18 : 2G : 26 : 31 : 29 : 27 : 24 : 15. 

 Mouth-cone not quite reachinj^ across prostei-nuni. 



Prothorax ahoiit twice as broad as long-, setaj almost as in ohscuripennis. 

 Fore tarsus slightly incrassate and armed with a short stout tooth in J . Tooth 

 minute in $ . 



Tube about 0'65 times as long as the head, and neai'ly 2'5 times as long as 

 broad at base ; terminal bristles 1'2 times as long as the tube, dark. Lateral 

 abdominal sot» as in ohscuripennis ; yellow. 



Ill type of coloration this species closely resembles H. acnleatvs 

 though the head is usually noticeably darker than the rest of the body. 

 It is sharply distinguished from acideatus by its smaller size, the 

 noticeably small 3rd and the broad 4th antennal joints, and the 

 distinctly converging head. In the latter respect and in the 

 small third antennal joint, as well as in its small size, cephalotes 

 resembles the Japanese H. nryzfe (Matsumura), from which it may be 

 readily distinguished by the coloration of the antennse, the smaller 

 2nd antennal joint, and the longer head compared to the length of 

 the prothorax.*
