the retention of subspecific divisions. The specimens from West Africa and Uganda 

 have a tendency to slightly more even pilosity, forming a pelt on the imaginal head- 

 capsule, which is also slightly less evenly rounded. In the worker, the northern 

 forms sometimes have traces of a third lobe to the enteric valve seating, a marginally 

 longer mesenteric overlap with the proctodeum, and somewhat weaker enteric 

 valve-armature. There are some indications that these character differences may 

 form a cline. In order to show the close similarity of size and proportions through- 

 out the range, the two groups of measurements are given separately rather than 

 amalgamated. The abdomen of the worker caste is dehiscent in A. kilimandjaricus. 



A lectotype has been designated below from the existing syntype material of 

 A. kilimandjaricus (Sjostedt), and from the syntypes of its junior synonym Miro- 

 termes (Proatbitermes) mfolozii Fuller.
