Epinotal declivity trans-versely striate. Gaster more shallowly punctate. Mandibles and antennaeshining, punctate. Pilosity long and fine, abundant; erect on head and body, semierect onantennae.

The description is based on a single worker. This species is closelyrelated to cvwryi Forel from the l^ismarck Archipelago, but the clypeusis entirely different, with the middle projection bisinuate instead oftrisinuate. 26. Leptogenys (Leptogenys) foreli, sp. Length mm. Head a little broader than long, broadest in front, posterior border about as long as sides of head, strongly curved basally and thenslightly arcuate and of even thickness totips. Clypeus sharply carinate at middle;median lobe longer than broad, with sidesparallel for half their length, then slightlyconcave and converging to form a triang-ular pointed tip; lobes on eithe
