feebly convex, the posterior margin shallowly concave, the posterior 

 angles very little rounded. The scape almost reaches the posterior 

 margin of the head ; 3rd-5th joints of the flagellum wider than long, 

 2nd and 6th as wide as long, club 3-jointed. Eyes placed in the middle 

 of the sides. Mandibles finely striate. Head very little more than 

 one and a-half times wider than the thorax at its widest point. The 

 frontal sulcus is fairly well defined as a narrow and shining impression, 

 reaching the middle of the vertex. Pronotum not marginate behind 

 at the sides, the posterior corners convex. Mesonotum two-thirds 

 longer than its basal width, flat and horizontal or even slightly 

 inclined upwards posteriorly, the median tubercle round and very 

 prominent. The declivity of the mesonotum short, barely marginate 

 at the sides. Meso-epinotal suture narrow and deep. Dorsum of 

 epinotum flat, merging very gradually into the oblique declivity, about 

 twice as wide at its base as it is long in the middle, considerably 

 widened towards the teeth. The latter are very short, hardly as long

as their basal width, triangular. The 1st joint of the petiole is a trifle 

 wider than long, the anterior margin straight, the anterior angles 

 widely rounded, the dorsal face almost flat. The 2nd joint is not 

 deeply grooved in the middle, but the posterior margins of the nodal 

 discs are prominent, the sides of the discs not very convex.

 Unwilling as I am to add to the number of species in this confused 

 genus, it nevertheless appears necessary to me to separate this form 

 from vulcania, Santschi. I have not seen specimens of the latter, but 

 from Santschi's description and illustrations it" is clear that Godfreyi 

 is tolerably distinct. In vulcania the dorsum of the epinotum is 

 convex, the pro- and mesonotum form a single convexity, the pronotum 

 is marginate at the sides, the mesonotal tubercle is feeble, and 

 lastly, the petiole is differently formed.
