. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history; Natuurlijke historie; Sociale geschiedenis; Culturele antropologie. A Monograph of the Formicidae of South Africa. 261 of the 1st joint is as long as the node ; the latter has the anterior and posterior faces vertical, the dorsal face trapezoidal and nearly flat, three-fifths wider behind than in front. The 2nd node is almost twice as wide as long in the middle, the anterior margin convex, the posterior margin straight, the sides straight and slightly convergent posteriorly, the dorsal face convex. The 2nd node is also hardly shorter than, and nearly one-third wider than the 1st. Abdomen truncate at the base. Femora only moderately swollen. Kimberley, (Power). Allied to Emeryi but differing markedly in the shape of the head, the abundant, erect and coarse pilosity, the deeply emarginate clypeus and the absence of the raised line between the pronotum and meso- notum. (, , colls. Type in coll.) Tetramorium Argenteopilosum, n. sp. ^, 3-3 mm. Black ; the anterior margin of the head narrowly, the mandibles, flagellum, antennal sockets, basal third of the scapes, the apex of the epinotal declivity, the coxae and tarsi, ferruginous ; femora and tibiae dark reddish brown, paler at their bases and apices. Head and thorax with a few whitish and thick erect hairs ; petiole and abdomen with a moderate pilosity composed of long, obliquely exserted, thick, pointed white hairs, somewhat glistening ; legs and antennae sparsely pubescent. The fundamental sculpture of the head, thorax, nodes of petiole and basal fourth of the 1st ab- dominal segment is a close reticulate puncturation, very distinct on the meso- and epinotum, very superficial on and just behind the clypeus. Clypeus carinate in the middle, its anterior margin convex. The clypeus and vertex between the frontal carinae longitudinally and fairly evenly striate, the striae hardly half as wide as the spaces b
