Stanleyville, [[worker]]; Faradje, [[worker]] (Lang and Chapin); Lubutu, [[worker]]; Kasonsero on the Semliki River, [[worker]] (J. Bequaert). In the narrow head and in coloration, the workers agree with Santschi's figure and description. The females, two in number, are dealated and have the head narrow as in the workers, but with the cheeks more concave, the anterior border more dilated, and the posterior corners more rectangular and less rounded. They measure 7 to 7.5 mm.; the workers about 5 to 6 mm.
