Among the 21 w^orker and female specimens I have seen from 15 nests or individual collections, there appear to be only five distinct entities, each of which may represent a distinct species. It should be emphasized, however, that no real idea of species variability or species limits can be securely gained from such limited material. It is possible that all 21 specimens actually belong to one or two species Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
