Psyche 
[ March 
very short, mesonotum large and convex, with very pro- 
nounced notauli (Mayrian furrows) ; epinotum higher than 
long, with subequal base and declivity, the former distinctly 
convex, the latter flattened, perpendicular and marginate on 
each side. Petiole and post-petiolq similar to those of the 
worker, but more slender. Gaster small, elongate-elliptical ; 
genitalia exserted, the stipites rather large, lobular, 
rounded at the tip. Legs long and slender but the femora 
distinctly incrassated in the middle, though less so than in 
the worker. 
Somewhat shining ; mandibles finely reticulate ; head lon- 
gitudinally rugulose, the clypeus and frontal area more 
finely and more regularly than the cheeks, the rugules of 
which curve around the antennal fossae. The interrugal 
spaces are sharply and finely reticulate as in the worker. 
Sculpture of thorax similar; pronotum transversely, meso- 
notum longitudinally rugulose; scutellum more coarsely re- 
ticulate-rugulose, pleurae and epinotal declivity smoother. 
Petiole, postpetiole and gaster shining, smoother, only su- 
perficially and microscopically reticulate. 
Pilosity longer than in the worker, the hairs tapering 
and flexuous. 
Black ; scapes, gaster, coxae and femora dark brown ; base 
of gaster above somewhat infuscated ; tibiae, tarsi and funi- 
culi white; first funicular joint strongly, tibiae feebly tinged 
with reddish brown; wings whitish, veins colorless, ptero- 
stigma pale brown. 
Single worker, female and male specimens collected by 
Mr. W. D. Pierce at Victoria, Negros Oriental, Philippines, 
and received from Dr. J. W. Chapman. 
Emery, in the “Genera Insectorum” (p. 241) described 
with a query a male specimen of an undetermined species 
of Dilobocondyla from Sumatra. The foregoing descrip- 
tion of the male collected with the cospecific worker shows 
that he really had a male Dilobocondyla, probably belong- 
ing either to D. sebesiana Wheeler or to D. karnyi Wheeler. 
Zatapinoma williamsi sp. nov.
