Abstract
Female. Allied to Leptothorax. Body small, slender. Head longer than broad, convex above in the middle, flattened below, broader behind than in front, and strongly impressed in the region of the eyes, which are rather large and in front of the middle. Mandibles moderately convex, dentate. Clypeus small, feebly convex, with rounded and projecting anterior border. Frontal area elongate-triangular, rather indistinct; frontal carinte short but well-developed, frontal groove absent. Antennae 11-jointed, funiculus with a 3-jointed club. Thorax long and narrow, flattened above and on the sides, with acute and prominent humeri. Mesonotum subtriangular, narrowed to a rounded point anteriorly. Epinotum dentate; episternal angles rounded. Petiole not pedunculate, with an anteroventral tooth and well developed dorsal node. Postpetiole depressed, constricted behind. Gaster short, elliptical, flattened above, more convex beneath, the first segment very large; sting well developed. Legs stout; femora clavate, incrassated; middle and hind tibiae without spurs. Wings long, minutely hairy, with large apterostigma, one cubital cell, a small closed radial and no discal cell. Hairs on body short, sparse, erect and clavate; pubescence closely appressed.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin, published continuously since 1881, consists of longer monographic volumes in the field of natural sciences relating to zoology, paleontology, and geology. Current numbers are published at irregular intervals. The Bulletin was originally a place to publish short papers, while longer works appeared in the Memoirs. However, in the 1920s, the Memoirs ceased and the Bulletin series began publishing longer papers. A new series, the Novitates, published short papers describing new forms.
