430 Mr. W. C. Crawley on 
petiole and gaster, postpetiole and gaster in addition have a 
moderately close grey pubescence. 
Mandibles slender, their outer border barely concave, 
inner border with two large teeth besides the apical tooth ; 
between the latter and the first large tooth are two small 
ones ; between first and second large teeth are three small 
ones, and behind the second large tooth are 4-5 irregular 
teeth. Head broader than long, broadest in front, occipital 
border nearly straight. Clypeus widely excavated. Funi- 
cular joints, as far as can be ascertained, diminish in length 
up to the 9th joint, then increase in length slightly. By es 
large, almost touching base of mandibles. Ocelli dene 
flat. Thorax short and broad, hardly narrowing at all behind 
the pronotum; in profile regularly curved, highest at com- 
mencement of epinotum; pronotum somewhat depressed ; 
a slight incision between meso- and epinotum. The latter 
forms a wide rounded angle between its two faces, the base 
being longer than the declivity. Legs short. Petiole from 
above as broad as long, wider behind, where the angles are 
more rounded than in front; in profile cubic, with parallel 
sides, the stalk very short and thick. Postpetiole about 
twice as wide as the petiole, campaniform, wider than long, 
widest just beyond the middle ; a projection extends on its 
under surface beneath the petiole. 
Mandibles smooth and shining, with 4-5 punctures 
along the line of teeth. Head longitudinally coarsely 
rugose, the rugze: becoming broken as they approach the 
occiput. Thorax more coarsely rugose; on the pronotum 
the rugee are deep, regular, and longitudinal, spreading 
slightly from the front outwards ; on the mesonotum they 
are longitudinal, but not quite so regular; on the first half 
of base of epinotum they are longitudinal, and on the 
remainder and on the declivity they are transverse. The 
petiole is longitudinally rugose above and_ transversely 
behind.  Postpetiole and easter have a fine reticulate 
ground-sculpture ; between the rugee on the head there is 
also a ground-sculpture.

Swale. 
Type W:C. C. coll. 
Slightly smaller than harderi, For., and considerably 
smaller than pilosuta, Sm., and its race mediorubra, For. 
From the two latter it differs by the much coarser sculpture 
and the narrower and straighter mandibles. It differs from 
harderi in having the postpetiole (or second node) only finely 
reticulate instead of coarsely rugose. The thorax is also 
stouter, and the head, postpetiole, and gaster of a deeper
