A REVISION OF THE GENUS PROMYRMECIA EMERY (FORMICIDAE) 147 
Promyrmecia fulvipes Roger s.sp. coelatinoda Wheeler 
Myrmecia (Promyrmecia) fulvipes Roger s.sp. cwlatinoda Wheeler, Colony- 
founding among Ants, p. 72, 1933, ¥. 
Worker. Length about 13 mm. 
Mandibles as in barbata, but the subapical teeth worn away, the serrate basal 
denticles very minute and indistinct. Petiole as in barbata, postpetiole one and one- 
half times as broad as long, semi-circular anteriorly, its posterior border somewhat 
emarginate in the middle. Gaster slender, the first segment nearly as long as broad. 
Sculpture as in barbata, but much more of the posterior portion of the epinotum 
transversely and the petiolar node more coarsely rugose. Unlike all the preceding 
forms of fulvipes, the postpetiole is sculptured, being sharply, longitudinally rugu- 
lose, with elongate foveolae between the rugules as in M. mandibularis rugosa. 
Pilosity somewhat less abundant than in fulviculis, the pubescence of the pelisse on 
the gaster of the same bright golden colour, but coarser, longer and less distinctly 
converging at the mid-dorsal line. On the postpetiole there is only a minute patch 
of golden pubescence at the emargination of the posterior border. Mandibles, 
antennae, legs and gaster red; head, thorax and petiole blackish-red. 
Described from a single specimen from Belair, South Australia (J. W. Haacke). 
This subspecies is readily distinguished from all the other forms of fulvipes by its 
colour and its sculptured and posteriorly emarginate postpetiole.
