distinct, even more than in barbiger ; 2nd joint hardly longer than 

 wide, more nodiform than in barbiger. First abdominal segment 

 strongly pedunculate as in Robecchii and nitidulus. Head and thorax 

 almost dull, closely striate and finely reticulate between the striae. 

 Pronotum concentrically striate, the median striae longitudinal. The 

 rest of the thorax above transversely striate, the side longitudinally so. 

 The peduncle of the 1st joint of petiole coarsely, the node finely striate. 

 Second joint of petiole finely reticulate, slightly shining. Abdomen 

 and legs very shallowly reticulate and very shining. Head, thorax, 

 petiole, antennae and legs with fairly short, oblique, thick and blunt 

 brownish black hairs, moderately abundant. Abdomen almost 

 glabrous above. On the legs and antennae the hairs are more abundant, 

 shorter and oblique. The ammochaetae are blackish brown. Head 

 very dark red, the rest of the body black.

Characters. 



$ . Antennae 12-jointed, with a 3-jointed club. Frontal area 

 depressed. Pro-mesonotal suture obsolete or nearly so, meso-epinotal 

 suture well defined. Epinotum armed with two short spines or teeth. 

 First joint of the petiole with a long peduncle, the node narrow, 2nd 

 joint broad. 



$ . Head as in the £ , with 3 small ocelli, somewhat sunk below 

 the surface. Pronotum well exposed, not hidden under the mesonotum. 

 Wings long, the nervures only faintly indicated, radial cell open. 



<$ . Normal and winged, or ergatomorph and wingless. Antennae 

 13-jomted, or 10 to 11-jointed in the ergatomorphs. So far, winged 

 $ $ are known only in C. Emeryi, and as an abnormality in C. Batesi, 

 which usually has ergatomorph males. For other characters of the 

 winged $ , see species below.
