The characteristics are as follows: only about 5 % or fewer workers in a series have an indication of short hairs projecting from the occipital corners of the head. Queens have no such hairs but occasional microscopic hairs have been detected on the basal face of the gaster in a very few specimens of about 50 examined. In the few males examined only 1 in 12 has projecting genal hairs. The reasons for retention as an infraspecific form of
