[Vol. 92 
al., 1985), there is no sufficient reason to continue designating C. 
overbecki as a variety of C. dolichoderoides. It is therefore made a 
species on its own. The female of C. overbecki is described by Vieh- 
meyer (1915) from an isolated specimen as follows: head narrower 
and more elongated than that of worker; eyes larger and more con- 
vex than those of workers and situated in front of the midlength of 
the sides of the head. Clypeus slightly emarginate anteriad. 
Dispersed, decumbent pubescence on the whole body. Female deal- 
ate and 6.5 mm long. 
Body length of 6.5 mm is far smaller than that of any other known 
Karavaievia females. Head deviates markedly in shape and size, and 
eyes are situated in front of the midlength of the sides of the head 
and more convex than those of workers. This was not found in any 
other Karavaievia female. In contrast to all other Karavaievia 
females, clypeus slightly carinated and emarginated. These basic 
differences from all known Karavaievia females suggest that the 
female described by Viehmeyer is not a female of C. overbecki. 
Males of C. overbecki as described by Viehmeyer (1915): Head 
with strongly convex eyes slightly broader than long, occipital mar- 
gin strongly convex, anterior clypeal margin straight, mandibles 
with a large apical tooth. Propodeal profile with weakly convex 
dorsal and concave descending face; dorsal face with shallow, 
median, longitudinal furrow. Petiolar scale lower and slightly 
thicker than that of worker, tapering to a transverse ridge, which is 
slightly excised in the middle. Densely reticulated, front part of the 
body more opaque than gaster. Dirty yellow brown, gaster with 
indistinct narrow, dark bands in front of the posterior segment 
borders, femora and tibiae slightly darkened; wings yellowish with 
yellow brown veins. 6 mm in length. 
Camponotus dolichoderoides Forel 
Camponotus dolichoderoides Forel, 1911: 51. (Types not found, presumed lost.) 
Description is translation of Forel (1911): workers 6 mm in length; 
strong, curved, shining mandibles, with 5 teeth and widely separated 
punctures. Clypeus without carina, anterior margin straight, and 
not or only weakly protruding. Frontal carinae little sinuate and 
hardly divergent. Scapal insertion close to the posterior clypeal 
margin. Head trapezoidal, with strongly convex sides, and nearly as
