[December 
side of head is a dense pile of very fine, short reclinate 
hairs, inconspicuous except on humeral borders, propodeum 
and petiolar node; forming a large anteroventral pad at 
the base of the gaster. The long fiagelliform hairs are con- 
siderably longer than those of ulcerosa. 
Color reddish ferrugineous, appendages lighter. Fore- 
wing (l 3.1 mm.) with R -j- Sc, Rsfl, stigma and 2r pres- 
ent and distinct, but not strongly pigmented. Other veins 
absent or else present only as indistinct folds or lines. The 
holotype, still the only known specimen, is in the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology; it was taken on Mt. Matang, 
West Sarawak, Borneo (G. E. Bryant). 
Strumigenys doriae Emery 
Strumigenys Doriae Emery, 1887, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. 
Nat. Genova, (2) 5: 45, pi. 2, fig. 22, worker (original 
description). 1897, Term. Fiizetek, 20: 574, worker, in 
key. 
I know this form only from Emery’s description and 
figure, which show it to be very much like S. ulcerosa (see 
discussion above). The original description is very brief, 
and the figure crude and questionable on several accounts. 
The mandibles are portrayed as unusually slender for a 
Strumigenys species; nevertheless, Emery definitely says 
that they are ‘'cylindricis” in his description, which, if 
true, would make them quite different from the broadened 
and depressed jaws of the two closely related forms. As 
estimated from the figure, the Ci would be about 77, and 
the MI near 46. Emery’s figures of dacetines are known, 
however, to err rather strongly on occasion in showing cor- 
rect proportions of head and mandibles. Emery also shows 
the petiolar and postpetiolar nodes without differentiating 
the spongiform appendages from the nodes proper. The 
total length is given as “3V2 nim.” This is probably too 
low a figure. Emery does not mention the secretory pits 
and lacunae that may well be present, but the elongate 
flagellate hairs characteristic of this species group are 
indicated in the figure. Color given as “ferruginea, capite 
obscurior.” 
The holotype is a unique worker taken at Amboina, East 
Indies, by Beccari ; it is presumably now in the Emery Col- 
lection, Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Genoa, Italy.
