. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology. MANN: ANTS OF THE BRITISH SOLOMON ISLANDS. 297 Color black; legs and antennae lighter; mandibles red. white. Pilosity yellowish Santa Cruz: Graciosa Bay. The description is based on a single worker. This species is closely related to cmcryi Forel from the Bismarck Archipelago, but the clypeus is entirely different, with the middle projection bisinuate instead of trisinuate. 26. Leptogenys (Leptogenys) foreli, sp. nov. Worker. Length mm. Head a little broader than long, broadest in front, posterior border straight. Mandibles about as long as sides of head, strongly curved basally and then slightly arcuate and of even thickness to tips. Clypeus sharply carinate at middle; median lobe longer than broad, with sides parallel for half their length, then slightly concave and converging to form a triang- ular pointed tip; lobes on either side of middle broadly rounded. Antennal scapes surpassing occipital corners by about one third of their length; first and third joints subequal; terminal joint shorter than the two preceding joints together. Thorax broadly and shallowly impressed between meso- and epinotum. Base of epinotum convex above, much longer than the de- clivity (in emeryi Forel but little longer) and rounding into it. Petiolar node slightly broader than long, convex above, highest behind, with straight posterior and nearly straight anterior surfaces. Head and thorax subopaque. Mandibles striate. Head rugose and with coarse foveolate punctures scattered on front and occiput. Pro- and mesono- tum coarsely, foveolately punctate, the interspaces finely rugulose and more shining than the rest. Epinotal declivity transversely striate, the base and the petiolar node rugose. Gaster shining, with two sizes of punctures. Scapes and legs finely punctate. Long erect pilosity abundant everywhere. Black; mandibles, antennae, apex of gaster, tibiae, and tarsi reddish brown. Male. Length mm. He
