1935 ] New Ants from the Philippines 45 
India but differing in the following characters : Integument 
thicker and more rigid, clypeal swellings somewhat less 
pronounced and not bilobed or biprotuberant on each side ; 
mandibles with 8 coarse teeth, the first, second and fourth 
larger than the others, the seventh and eighth fused ; fron- 
tal area obsolete; funicular joints 3-8 as long as broad (in 
annandalei distinctly broader than long) ; eyes distinctly 
larger, situated a distance equal to their greatest diameter 
from the posterior clypeal border, which is more distinct 
than in the Indian species. Thorax more slender, the pro- 
notum as long as broad, the epinotum slightly longer than 
broad. 
Sculpture and pilosity very similar in the two species, but 
the color of williamsi is different, being brownish yellow 
instead of whitish yellow, the mandibles and clypeus are 
concolorous with the remainder of the head and the second 
to fourth gastric segments are brown at the base. 
Female. Length 3.5 mm. 
Resembling the soldier, but the head is proportionally 
smaller and somewhat more narrowed anteriorly, the eyes 
though flat are much larger, twice as long as their distance 
from the anterior corners of the head. Ocelli well-devel- 
oped, near the occipital border. Clypeus without the pecu- 
liar lateral swellings of the soldier, feebly convex in the 
middle, depressed on each side. Frontal area large and in- 
distinct. Antennal scapes reaching to the posterior fourth 
of the head. Thorax collapsed, but apparently as broad as 
the head, with flattened mesonotum. Gaster large, shaped 
like that of the soldier. Wings long, the anterior pair with 
long closed radial cell, a single long cubital but no discoidal 
cell. There are no traces of a pterostigma. 
Sculpture and pilosity much as in the soldier, but the 
pubescence is more abundant and longer, especially on the 
gaster and the segments of this region also bear sparse and 
rather long, coarse hairs. Wings pubescent. 
Clypeus and thorax brown ; antennae, head and legs 
brownish yellow; gaster pale yellow, with a broad, dark 
brown basal fascia on each segment. Wings hyaline, with 
very pale yellow veins.
