md slender; scapes nol tabulate al the bag ght, reaching nearly | 



their length beyond the occipital border; funiculi with indistinctly 4-jointed 

 olava; joints 2-5 fully twice as long as broad. Thorax long and Blender; 

 pronotum flattened above and obscurely submarginatc on the sides Pro- 

 inotal Buture distinct. Mesonotum slightly and abruptly raised in front 

 and thru sloping backward and downward, with rather uneven outline in 

 profile, to tin' short and rather deep mesoepinotal constriction. Epinotum 

 Longer than high or broad, its base rising abruptly in front, distinctly convex 



above and t w ice a- long as the declivity, longil udinally grooved in the middle; 



the spines acute, directed upward and backward and Blightly curved inward; 



as long as the declivity and the interval between their bases. Petiole rather 

 small, twice as Long as broad through the node, which i> Bhorter than the 

 peduncle, conical above and constricted behind. Postpetiole pyrifonn, 

 longer than broad, BOmewhal less than twice as broad as the petiolar node, 

 the node feebly convex anteriorly in profile and distinctly concave behind. 

 Gaster rather large. Legs long and slender. Middle and hind tibiae with 

 distinct but slender spurs. 



Shining; mandibles subopaque, very finely and sharply longitudinally 

 striate. Head coarsely and sharply reticulate rugose, the rugae diverging on 

 the front, those starting from the anterior corners making a signioidal curve, 

 bending outward around the antennal foveae, turning inward around the 

 inner orbits and then Laterally again. Neck finely and transversely rugutose. 

 Thorax coarsely rugulose like the head but less strongly and more' irregularly. 

 1Y 'turn above smooth and shining in the middle, on the sides finely and 

 longitudinally striate. Base of epinotum strongly and rather regularly trans- 

 versely rugose, the concave declivity with similar but feebler sculpture; 

 mesopleurae and sides of epinotum more irregularly punctate-rugose. Petiole 

 and postpetiole smooth and shining, except their ventral surfaces which are 

 subopaque and very finely and densely punctate. Gaster smooth ami shining, 

 the basal third of the first segment subopaque and very finely and densely 

 striolate. 



Hairs yellow, coarse, obtuse, moderately long and abundant on the body, 

 much finer and more appressed on the legs, especially on their flexor surfaces. 



Dark reddish brown; legs, including the middle and bind coxae, the tip of 

 the gaster, and the posterior margins of its segments brownish yellow; mandi- 

 bles, neck, sides of pronotum, fore coxae, and antennae red; apical halves of 

 femora infuscated. 



Described from eighteen specimens taken by Professor Gee at 

 Mokanshan. 



This species is very distinct, being quite unlike famelica and geei. 

 In certain respects it resembles .1. rothneyi Forel of India and central 

 China and especially its subspecies tipuna Forel of Formosa.
