Simopone gressitti Taylor View in CoL

Simopone gressitti Taylor, 1965: 3 View in CoL , figs 1, 2. Holotype worker, NEW GUINEA: Hlandia-Binnen , 100 m., 1.xi.1958 (J.L. Gressitt) (BPBM) [not seen].

Well described by Taylor (1965), the general proportions of gressitti View in CoL seem very similar to those of chapmani View in CoL . Like that species, Taylor indicates (fig. 1) that the scrobe is deflected ventrally immediately in front of the eye, and a longitudinal sulcus is present across the metapleuron. He also appears to indicate anterior and posterior vestiges of a carina on the side of AII. From his measurements AII would appear to be distinctly shorter and broader (AIIW/ AIIL 0.96) than in chapmani View in CoL .
