First gastric segment indistinctly impressed at middle of base. Mandibles shining and punctate. Head feebly shining. Cl^-peus strongly and foveolately punctate; front reticulately and rugosely punctate; vertex with two large shallow foveae and cribriform punctures between. Pro- mesothorax coarsely and reticulately costate and subopaque. Epinotum at sides more finely costate; impressed portion foveolately punctate; declivity smooth and shining. Petiole finely rugose. Postpetiole and gaster more shining and uniformly cribrate. Antennae and legs coarsely and densely subopaque. Fine, squamiform hairs on head and antennal scapes, coarse ones on legs. Clavate hairs on legs, outer border of scape and one in each of the two foveae on vertex; fine hairs on funiculus, tarsi, and ventral surface of gaster. Fuscopiceous; legs, mandibles, antennae, and lamellate borders of epinotum fuscorufous. Hair white. Ysabel: Fulakora. The single worker of this anomalous species was found beneath a log in the forest. The curious form of the mandibles and the relatively long postpetiole readily distinguish isabcllae from the other Papuasian species. The lack of clavate hairs on the dorsal surface is probably not due to their being rubbed off, for such hairs are abundant on the legs. 86a. Rhopalothrix procera Emery, subsp. malua, subsp. nov. Male. Length 3 mm. Head, excluding eyes, much longer than broad; sides posterior to eyes parallel, then oblique to the occipital border which is shallowly concave. Vertex broadly and deeply impressed between the ocelli. Frontal cannae strongly elevated. Clypeus convex; concave anteriorly and angulate at sides. Mandibles small and acuminate apically. Antennae slender, scape broad basally, twice as long as first funicular joint; first funicular joint abo
