4. OECODOMA ABDOMINALIS   HNS . Pl. X. fig. 22. B.M.

Female. Length 10 lines. - This species is the same size as cephalotes   HNS ; in all the examples examined the wings are paler, the abdomen less pubescent, its first segment longer, and the sides less rounded; in other respects they agree very closely; the present species is, however, usually of a brighter colour, particularly the abdomen, which is redder. Specimens have been received from various parts of South America. In the British Museum are several forms of workers, but which of them belong to this apparently distinct species, it is impossible to ascertain without direct observation of the colonies of the species.
