with a narrow band of sordid yellow at the base. Occiput 
and frontal area piceous. Antennae and legs dirty yellow. 
Punctures throughout less numerous than in the female, 
not sufficiently abundant on the head to produce the opaque 
appearance characteristic of the female and worker, the 
head feebly shining. Thorax, except for the epinotum, with 
the same punctuation as the head. Epinotum, petiole and 
gaster strongly shining, the punctures very fine and much 
less abundant. Pubescence on the occiput and front short, 
fine and appressed ; longer, coarser and suberect on the 
clypeus, thorax and petiole; very long, sparse and suberect 
on the gaster where it grades into upright hairs at the 
edges of the segments. Occiput and clypeus with a few long 
erect hairs. Antennal joints with numerous, short, erect 
hairs; those of the tarsi, longer, sparser and less erect. 
Wings grizzled with yellow veins and stigma, the entire 
wing covered with numerous, short, suberect hairs. In cer- 
tain lights the wings are iridescent.
