Dorsum of head, except for the scrobal areas, with foveolate-reticulate sculpture. Dorsum of alitrunk entirely sculptured with coarse longitudinal rugae and blunt foveolate punctures between ru- gae. Sides of alitrunk irregularly rugulose. Each side of petiole node and postpetiole with a few coarse longitudinal rugae. Cas- ter unsculptured. Dorsal surfaces of head and alitrunk with numerous erect or sub- erect hairs. Petiole and postpetiole each with a few pairs of hairs dorsally. First gas- tral tergite lacking hairs. Anterior clypeal margin with a row of forward-projecting hairs. Scapes and tibiae with erect or sub- erect short hairs. Color reddish-brown, but gaster darker. Queen.

Cenerally similar to worker, except for caste differences; in addition, pronotal ar- maments absent, eyes larger than in con- specific worker. Male. Unknown. Co7nments and Discussion. At first sight, P. cribrarius somewhat resembles two Australian species of the quadridens group, P. thoracicus and P. foveolatus: Their workers all possess a pair of short pronotal spines, a pair of long propodeal.
