pressed laterally. Base of epinotum distinctly concave in profile as 

 in the typical cappcri, and the promesonotal suture fleeply, the meso- 

 epinotal suture not impressed. The petiole is also thinner.

 and thorax are less opaque, the promesonotal suture very shining and 

 the petiole black like the head, thorax, and gaster.

 tate, clypeus and cheeks with scattered, shallow piligerous foveolae, 

 thorax and gaster shining, mesonotum with a few coarse punctures 

 or foveolae. Petiole with the upper margin notched in the middle. 

 Pilosity and pubescence even sparser than in the worker, the pubes- 

 cence on the gaster very short. Black; clypeus, cheeks, antennae, 

 legs, pro- and mesosterna red.
