Lang., 5 mm. 



A small colony at Tangier, consisting of workers only. 



In general appearance resembling the other two European 



' species, but smaller and narrower than impressifrans, with a 



more shining surface, longer, thinner antennae, and simple or 



rarely bifid teeth to the mandibles. From denticulata it differs 



in the rather larger size, the arrangement of the opines on the clypeus, and of the 



teeth of the mandibles, and the less opaque surface of the head.
