Myrmicince. 
Aphasnogaster ( Deromyrma ) feae Emery. 
Female (undescribed). Length 6 . 5-7 mm. 
Resembling the worker. Cheeks with two parallel caring 
instead of one, forming the external border of the antennal 
fovea. Mesonotum not overarching the pronotum, convex, as 
broad as long. Epinotum sloping, the base twice as long as the 
declivity, feebly concave, the spines stout, fully twice as long as 
their basal diameter, as long as the declivity, directed upward 
and backward. Petiole and postpetiole as in the worker, but 
their nodes higher and stouter. Gaster more voluminous than 
the thorax. 
Sculpture, pilosity and color as in the worker, but the base 
of the epinotum coarsely and regularly, transversely rugose, the 
petiolar node transversely rugulose. Wings long, their mem- 
branes uniformly brownish, their veins and pterostigma darker 
brown. 
Male (undescribed). Length 4.5 mm. 
Head resembling that of the worker but shorter, the portion 
behind the prominent eyes less convex and narrowing more 
rapidly to the collar. Mandibles with a sharp apical tooth and 
five or six subequal basal denticles. Cheeks short and straight, 
without carinae. Clypeus convex, its anterior border rounded 
and entire. Antennal scapes reaching a little beyond the posterior 
ocelli; funiculi slender, first joint longer than broad and dis- 
tinctly thicker than the succeeding joints. Mesonotum strongly 
overarching the very short pronotum, very convex in front; 
epinotum long, the base long and sloping, strongly concave in 
front, horizontal and feebly convex behind, without spines or 
teeth, but with a distinct angle on each side where it passes into 
the very short declivity. Petiole and post petiole as in the 
worker, but the nodes lower and that of the petiole more angular 
in profile. 
Sculpture and color as in the worker and female, very 
smooth and shining, but the base of the epinotum and upper 
surface of petiolar node without rugae. Hairs sparser, more
