The number of these names considered as valid has gradually decreased as additional material has revealed intermediate morphologies, diverse combinations of character states and distinct geographic patterns. As a result we are currently down to just a single species with two recognized subspecies,

Equally true, however, is that many specimens within these populations do not possess the required characteristics of that named population. Samples from areas of sympatry are, as may be expected, intermediate between the respective phenotypes. In the worker caste, there is a north/south trend that is continuous. In northern specimens, the posterior margin of the mesonotum, in dorsal view, is definitely concave, and the longitudinal rugules of the propodeal dorsum are short and weak. Proceeding into
