PoDOMYRMA BASAXis Siiiitli, subsp. wooDFORDi, subsp. nov. Worker. Length mm. Head quadrate, a little longer than broad, as broad in front as behind, sidesnearly straight, occipital border broadly and shallowly concave. Mandibleswith five stout teeth. Clj-peus rather fiat, anterior border nearly carinae very feeble posteriorly, little divergent, extending nearly tooccipital border. Antennal scapes stout, extending a little more than twothirds the distance to occipital corners; funicular joints two to eight slightlylonger than broad; club shorter than remainder of funiculus, with the terminaljoint as long as the two preceding joints together. Ej^es large, little 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 region sloping. Basal portion of epinotum slightly convex, broadlyrounding into the declivity. Petiole from above about three times as long asbroad, subquadrate; in profile convex at middle, armed dorsoanteriorly witha thick conical spine and anteroventrally with a broader, fiat spine, roundedat tip. Femora strongly incrassate, tibiae moderately so. Moderately shining. Mandibles coarsely striate. Clypeus with threedistinct and entire striae on either side and much feebler and shorter striae onmiddle portion. Striae of head fine, entire, and longitudinal. Pronotum witha series of nine longitudinal, and slightly sinuous costae, six of which extendon to the mesonotum. Epinotum with a low, rounded ridge on either
