petiole and gjaster, postpetiole and gaster in addition have a 

 moderately elose grey pubcscenee. 



^laiidibles slender, their outer border barely coneavc, 

 inner border with two large teeth besides the apieal tooth ; 

 ])etween the latter and the first large tooth are two small 

 ones ; between first and seeond large teeth are three small 

 ones, and behind the seeond lar^e tooth are 4—5 irregular 

 teeth. Head broader than long, broadest in front, oeeipital 

 border nearly straight. Clypcus widely exe.ivated. Funi- 

 cular joints, as far as can be ascertained, diminish in length 

 np to the 9th joint, then increase in length slightly. Eyes 

 large, almost touching base of mandibles. Ocelli distinct, 

 flat. Thorax short and broad, hardly narrowing at all behind 

 the pronotum ; in profile regularly curved, highest at com- 

 meuccraent of epinotuni ; pronotum somewhat depressed ; 

 a slight incision 1 etween 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 rugro becoming broken as they approach the 

 occiput. Thorax more coarsely rugose ; on the pronotum 

 the rugae 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 anfl on the declivity they are transverse. The 

 petiole is longitudinally rugose above and transversely 

 behind. Postpetiole and gaster have a fine reticulate 

 ground-sculpture ; between the rugre on the head tliere is 

 also a ground-sculpture.

 Swale. 



Type W.C.C. coll. 



Slightly smaller than harderi, For., and considerably 

 smaller than pitusula, Sm., and its race medionibra, Yor. 

 From the two latter it differs by the much coarser sculpture 

 and the narrower and straighter mandibles. It differs from 

 harden in having the postpetiole (or seeond node) only finely 

 reticulate instead of coarsely rugose. The thorax is also 

 stouter, and the head, postpetiole. and gaster of a deeper
