of the metanotal groove. Legs densely and finely punctu- 
late-granulose. Pilosity as described for S. bryanti (below), 
except that in ulcerosa, the long, fine erect hairs on the 
head are more numerous, while those of the gastric dorsum 
are not so extremely long (maximum length about 0.26 
mm.), nor are those on the legs so long as in bryanti. In 
ulcerosa, the longest hairs on the gastric dorsum are about 
half as long as the maximum dorsoventral thickness of the 
gaster. The dense, fine pile present on alitrunk and nodes 
much as in bryanti, most conspicuous at heavily “glandular” 
areas, especially humeri and mesopleura. 
Color rich medium ferrugineous, appendages and oc- 
cipital lobes slightly lighter and more yellowish. 
Holotype, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, a 
unique taken at 700 meters altitude, Kananggar, Soemba, 
Indonesia (Dammerman, no. 242). This species does not 
seem to be the worker corresponding to the female of 
bryanti, since the latter has a narrower, not broader, head, 
and has longer mandibles, differently proportioned funicular 
segments, longer gastric pilosity, and a minute intercalary 
denticle in the apical fork. If it be assumed that Emery 
did not too grossly misfigure his Ambonese species, cloriae, 
the latter would be distinct from ulcerosa in having shorter, 
very much more slender mandibles and a notably broader 
head. Emery’s draftsmanship, however, was such that 
doubts about the distinctness of ulcerosa and cloriae will 
remain until someone can review Emery’s type.

Harvard 63: 95, female (original description). 
Holotype female, alate: Differs significantly in propor- 
tions, especially of the mandibles, and also in other minor 
details, from S. ulcerosa and S. cloriae, but for the most 
part very similar to at least the first of these. TL 4.63, HL 
1.08, ML 0.60, WL 1.25 mm.; ci 69, Ml 56; occipital-pronotal 
overlap 0.1 mm., subtracted from TL. Antennal scapes 
straight, slender, L 0.70, very feebly incrassate in the apical 
half; funiculus slender, L 0.88 (segment v 0.40, IV 0.31, 
II -f III 0.08, I 0.09-0.10 mm.).
