L. ptdchellus from New Guinea is apparently a distinct variety, for Arrow was 

 able to compare his type with several specimens of the typical glaber. As all he actu- 

 ally saw of the latter were collected by Wallace in Batchian, however, their unifor- 

 mity may have been due to their being all from a single colony, and a direct com- 

 parison of these and of the type of L. pulchellus with the type of L. glaber from Jobi 

 is much to be desired,
