which have the combination of brown pilosity on the pronotal shoulders, evenly distributed pilosity of the metasoma and the absence of a carina within the interantennal process. Differing from these species by the combination of the color pattern of the hind tibia (white with brown band at apex, or yellow throughout), color pattern of the scape (yellow at base and brown at apex), and sculpture of the mesoscutum (with longitudinal trend).

As presently delimited this species is relatively highly variable. The known material consists of three sets collected in different localities. Specimens within each set are morphologically variable, and there is noticeable variation between the sets as well. Each set may ultimately represent different species, but more specimens are needed to circumscribe the observed variation. There is a tendency among all individuals to have thicker, longitudinal carinae on the mesonotum and propodeum, usually with relatively uninterrupted interstices. In the largest specimens, however, there is

|
reticulation between the longitudinal elements. In all but the two specimens from the D.R.C. (OSUC 212376, 212377) the tibia is yellow with a short brown band at the apex. The two specimens from the D.R.C. appear somewhat translucent, and this may indicate modification of the natural color by collecting method. The sculpture of T6 may ultimately be of use in delimiting species, but there appears to be a transition from smaller individuals with thinner somewhat longitudinal carinae to larger individuals with thicker reticulations. The sculpture of the lateral portion of T1 also varies: in the two individuals from Ghana the lateral margin is smooth and with only a single longitudinal carina; additional rugulae are present in the other four individuals. The largest individual (OSUC 212377) is perhaps the best candidate for a separate species. In this specimen the mid tibia is nearly completely yellow (as compared to the brown to yellow pattern seen in other individuals), the sculpture of the metasoma is more robust than the other individuals, there is no glabrous patch on the ventral metasoma, and the mesoscutum and propodeum have more reticulations partially obscuring the longitudinal trend in sculpture seen in the other individuals. The sculpture of the frons in the two individuals from Ghana is more transverse than the more uniform reticulate sculpture seen in the other four.

<paragraph pageId="85" pageNumber="86">While variation exists all six specimens may be firmly grouped by the characters listed in the diagnosis and others including the relatively large ocelli and eyes (resulting in a narrow frons), the similar sculpture pattern of the frons, the color pattern on the scape, the slightly developed axilluar carinae, and the ventromedially bent villus.</paragraph>
