The sides of the leaf are drawn somewhat together and fast- ened with silk form a partial and sometimes an entire covering of the nest. Type — M. C. Z. 9,190. 122c.

POLYRHACHIS (CyRATOMYRMa) RASTELLATA Latreille, Var. JOHN- soNi, var. nov. Worker. Length 7 mm. Resembling laevior var. debilis Emery in having on the epinotum a pair of distinct though very short and small spines. It is much larger in size than debilis and the legs are uniformly dark brown, almost black. The thorax is evenly arched, much as in leonidas Forel and the epinotal declivity in profile is straight. Rendova. One colony was found, in a silk and carton nest on a palm leaf. Type — 9,195. 123. PoLYRHACHis (Cyrtomyrma) emeryana, sp. nov. Worker. Length 5 mm. Head a little broader than long, broadly rounded behind and rather strongly narrowed in front. Cl3rpeus only moderately convex, shallowly concave at middle of anterior border. Frontal carinae little divergent, extending to. Fig. 59.— Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) emeryana Mann. Worker. Lateral view of thorax and petiole. opposite middle of eyes, in profile elevated and evenly rounded in front. Antennal scapes surpassing occipital corners by about five eighths of their length. Pronotmn broader than long, strongly convex above. Mesoepinotum.
