PoDOMYRMA BASALis Smith, subsp. wooDFORDi, subsp. nov. Worker. Length mm. Head quadrate, a little longer than broad, as broad in front as behind, sides nearly straight, occipital border broadly and shallowly concave. Mandibles with five stout teeth. Clypeus rather flat, anterior border nearly straight. Frontal carinae very feeble posteriorly, little divergent, extending nearly to occipital border. Antennal scapes stout, extending a little more than two thirds the distance to occipital corners; funicular joints two to eight slightly longer than broad; club shorter than remainder of funiculus, with the termina 1 joint as long as the two preceding joints together. Eyes large, little convex,. Fig. 26.— Podomyrma basalis woodfordi Mann. Worker. situated at sides of head posterior to middle. Pronotum depressed in front, humeral angles broader at base than long, triangular, not very acute at tips. Mesonotal region sloping. Basal portion of epinotum slightly convex, broadly rounding into the declivity. Petiole from above about three times as long as broad, subquadrate; in profile convex at middle, armed dorsoanteriorly with a thick conical spine and anteroventrally with a broader, flat spine, rounded at tip. Femora strongly incrassate, tibiae moderately so. Moderately shining. Mandibles coarsely striate. Clypeus with three distinct and entire striae on either side and much feebler and shorter striae on middle portion. Striae of head fine, entire, and longitudinal. P
