Except in P. hrocha, which is very Amhlyox)one-like in everything but mandibular structure (Fig. 15), the Prionopelta species run to more nearly parallel-sided heads, usually broadest near the middle; that is, not broadest anteriorly near the anterior corners. The genal tooth at the corner on each side is, again with the exception of P. hrocha. absent or present only as a minute 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.
