broad as long, with rounded humeri. Mesonotum broadly elliptical; 
mesoepinotal constriction short and deep. Epinotnm with short and 
very convex base, which is not longer than broad and passes into 
the longer, slightly concave, sloping declivity without a distinct ridge 
or angle. Petiole short and rather narrow, its node inclined forward, 
transverse and anteroposteriorly compressed, its border seen from 
gitudinally rugose, finely in the middle, more coarsely on the sides; 
head coarsely, body more sparsely and finely pnnctate. 
Hairs erect, moderately long and sparse, distinct on the head 
and thorax, most abundant on the gaster, rather long and appressed 
on the legs, apparently absent on the scapes except at their tips. 
Color black. 
Described from 10 specimens in the Geolog. Inst. Koenigsberg 
Coli. (B 18820, B 5446, B 5415, B 5440, B 5106, XXB 7180 and 
four without numbers). 
At first sight this species resembles D. balticus, but it may be 
readily distinguished by the narrower, more elliptical head, the longer 
antennse, more rounded humeri, the shape of the epinotum and 
especially by the smaller and peculiarly protruding, subconical eyes. 
Dolichoderus (Hypoclinea) elegans sp. nov. 
Worker. (Fig. 35.) Length about 7,5 mm. 
Head elliptical, longer than broad, not broader behind than in 
front, without posterior corners, but with short, excised posterior 
border. Eyes moderately large, very convex, hemispherical, but not 
subconical. Mandibles rather short. Clypeus evenly convex, with 
entire, broadly rounded anterior border. Antennae long and siender, 
the scapes reaching about 1 / 3 their length beyond the posterior border 
behind rounded, in 
profile the anterior 
surface is feebly con- 
vex, the posterior 
slightly concave , the 
border rather acute. 
Gaster large, elliptical. 
Legs long and rather 
siender. 
Surface of body 
shining, densely shag- 
reened ; mandibles 
punctate; clypeus Ion-
