Vankerckhovenville, [[soldier]], [[worker]], [[male]]; Faradje, [[soldier]], [[worker]]; Garamba, [[worker]]; Batama, [[male]]; Stanleyville, [[male]] (Lang and Chapin); Avakubi, [[male]] (Lieut. Boyton). Both the worker and male of this form have a characteristic color. Santschi described only the worker from Konakry, French Guinea. The Congo specimens measure 5 to 13 mm. and have the head, thorax, petiole, and legs rich chestnut brown, the gaster brownish yellow, the mandibles and antennae nearly black. The smallest workers are more uniformly brownish yellow. The differences in form between this and the typical

from North Africa. They measure 33 to 36 mm., with the thorax somewhat less than 6 mm. broad, and are chocolate brown, with the head blackish and the gaster a shade paler than the thorax and petiole. The wing membranes are also of a little duller and deeper tint. The hairs and pubescence are less golden and less shining, more grayish. The male genitaha are intermediate in the structure of the stipes between those of the typical

The workers and big males were swarming out of a hole in the ground during the night. These driver ants are not annoying to human beings, but have subterranean habits. They never walk in columns on the surface like the others, but whenever a piece of meat or even a jar of oil is deposited on the ground they immediately appear from below, without a tunnel or a gallery being visible from the outside."</paragraph>
