#v'q J5 d'Eur., pi. xxiii, fig. 17) bearing long 

 ' ' times terminating in a more or less ( 



me to belong to the race gemella of Roger. Witli those workers I have received 

 three distinct males. 



1st, the ordinary ^ of testaceopUosa (see fig. 2, profile, head and thorax) from 

 Gribraltar, with eyes and ocelli of normal size, with 

 the mandibles wide and flat, 6 to 7 toothed, with 

 the metathorax produced at the apex on each side 

 into a raised tubercle (as figured by Andre, Form. 



hairs, and some- 

 terminating in a more or less developed spine, 

 the femora very long and slender at the base, considerably thickened at a little 

 distance from the apex. 



2nd, a form from Tangier (fig. 3), resembling the above in size, colour and 

 general appearance, but with enormous eyes 

 and ocelli, with the mandibles feeble and 

 narrow, having only three teeth, and with the 

 horizontal portion of the metathorax very long 

 and shining, and only very slightly tubercu- 

 lated at the apex, the femora also are more 

 evenly thickened throughout. This I believe 

 to be the S o^ gemella, Rog. I sent a drawing of it to Professor Emery for his 

 opinion, and he agrees in thinking that it accords well with Roger's description. 

 He kindly sent me a specimen of a (J from Algeria, which, although differing in 

 having the horizontal portion of the metathorax slightly shorter, is, he thinks, 

 clearly referable to the same race. 



3rd, a form from Tangier (fig. 4) resembling 

 both the above in general appearance, size and 

 colour, but with normal eyes and ocelli, 4-toothed 

 mandibles, and metathorax shaped as in No. 2. 

 Of the ? also there are three forms, viz. : — 

 1st, the ordinary form from Gibraltar, as 

 described by Andre. 



2nd, a single specimen of a form from Tangier with much larger ocelli and 

 larger eyes, and with the posterior portion of the metathorax more horizontal and 

 the spines straighter. This I should refer to gemella, Rog. 



3rd, a single specimen, rather smaller than the above, with normal eyes and 

 ocelli, but with the metathorax similarly shaped, the spines almost horizontal.
