status

new variety

Camponotus (Myrmoturba) maculatus subspecies miserabilis Santschi variety pessimus   HNS , new variety

The major worker measures only 6 to 6.5 min., the minor 5 to 5.5 min. Both agree closely with Santschi's description and figure of miserabilis   HNS , except in their considerably smaller size. The head of the major is distinctly narrower anteriorly, the cheeks being less convex and the frontal carina? are less approximated. Sculpture, pilosity, and color very much as in miserabilis   HNS .

Four major and five minor workers from Yakuluku (Lang and ('hapin), without further data.
