, already shown by the fact that up to recently it had been considered just as a race of the latter. The larger size, the prominent tooth-like occipital corners, the salient supraocular teeth, the conical or spine-like mesonotal projections, the strongly developed ridges and impressions on head, the longer legs are the chief features that separate

The association of the worker caste to this female, proposed by Wheeler (1907), although merely founded upon the similarity of differential characters, seems quite tenable.</paragraph>

Wheeler's workers from Port Limon, Costa Rica, both in the Wheeler and Forel collection, bear erroneously type labels. Moreover, the Forel collection, according to Weber (1958), contains another worker specimen lacking a locality label. Weber suspects that this is a syntype. However, inasmuch as Forel, in the original description of

in this regard. So far, no record of the nest structure and fungus garden has been published. Weber's (1941: 107-8) observations refer to stray workers on Barro Colorado Island. One of them carried a piece of substrate in its mandibles. Although this material could not be examined more closely because the ant dropped it while being picked up, it looked like the type of substrate used by the mycelium growers, not by the yeast cultivators. Incidentally, Weber turns this surmise into a condition for the definite separation of
