. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history; Natuurlijke historie; Sociale geschiedenis; Culturele antropologie. A Monograph of the Formicidae of South Africa. 217 the head and the antennal hollows impunctate. The frons between the frontal carinae fanwise longitudinally striate, the striae curving round outwardly, but laterally not extending to the outer edge of the antennal hollows, and posteriorly not beyond the anterior half of the head. Mandibles sparsely and finely punctured, the scapes very finely so. Dorsum of epinotum superficially coriaceous ; otherwise impunc- tate. A sparse, yellowish, and short pilosity present all over, very scanty on the thorax. A very scanty pubescence on the mandibles. Head, excluding the mandibles, one-sixth longer than wide across the level of the eyes, where it is widest; it is, however, not wider there than across the occipital lobes by more than the length of the 1st joint of the flagellum. The sides of the head behind the eyes more deeply excavated than in punctaticeps, the occipital emargination as deep as in that species. Clypeus and frontal carinae as in punctaticeps. Mandibles half as long as the head, their internal inferior margin very feebly and obtusely denticulate, their superior margins edentate, fairly strongly widened towards the apex, being nearly twice as wide behind the teeth as at their base. Fig. 61.—A. Jonesi, n. sp. The upper or preapical tooth is as long and as acute as the apical, and the subapical, which springs from the base of the apical is about half as long as the other two. The scapes extend back as far as the apex of the occipital emargination, but do not reach as far as the posterior angles of the head ; 3rd-5th joints of the flagellum about as long as wide, all the rest longer than wide. Eyes small, not longer than the 3rd joint of the flagellum, composed of about 15-18 indistinct facets. Pronotum narrower and more elliptical in front than in punc
