Triglyphothrix fulviceps Emery, subsp. .wtennata, subsp. nov. Worker. Length mm. Head a little longer than broad, about as broad in front as behind, sides, narrowly angled posterior corners and concave border. Mandi-bular blades 6-dentate, the three basal blades short, the others longer and rather strongh convex, sharply carinate at middle; anterior borderfeebly rounded. Antennal scapes almost attaining occipital corners; funicularjoints two to eight slightly transverse; terminal joint longer than the twopreceding joints taken together. Eyes large and convex, located at sides. Fig. 30.— Triglyphothrix fulviceps antcnnata Mann. Worker. Lateral view of thoraxand petiole. of head, a little in front of middle. Thorax robust, in profile evenly convex;from above, broad in front with rounded humeral angles and nearly straightsides. Base and declivity of epinotum not distinct; spines divergent, acute,about as long as distance between their bases. Petiolar node in profile as longas high, nearly straight in front, convex above and behind; from above, a littlelonger than broad, narrowest in front, with convex sides. Postpetiole trans-versely ovate; broader than petiole. Somewhat shining, the gaster and legs more so than the rest. Mandiblesand clj-peus coarsely striate. Head longitudinally striate, the striae becomingreticulate on vertex, sides, and occiput. Thorax, epinotum, petiole, and post-petiole coarsely, cribrately punctate. Gaster coarsely but shallowly punc- MANN: ANTS OF THK liUlTlSH SOLOMON
