Description

45. Polyrhachis carinatus. Pl. IV. figs. 48,49. B.M.

Formica carinata, Fabr. Syst. Piez. 413. 71.

St. Farg. Hym. i. 220. 28.

Nat. Hist. 2nd ser. xiii. 109.

Hab. New Caledonia; W. Africa; Port Natal.

This insect is very probably the worker of P. militaris; and possibly the carinatus of Fabricius may not be identical; in every particular it agrees with the description, but has in addition a short tooth at the base of the spines on the node of the peduncle; but this might very easily have been overlooked.
