The insect described in a former paper was the worker (major). The small worker, and also the female, have been received from Celebes. The female is of a blackish brown, with the flagellum, prothorax, scutellum, scale of the peduncle, legs, and sides of the thorax pale ferruginous; the wings hyaline, with the nervures pale testaceous; the apical margins of the segments of the abdomen pale; the scale of the peduncle rounded above. The worker minor is pale ferruginous, with the head a little darker and the abdomen blackish brown; the head a little wider than the thorax; the thorax compressed, and very narrow behind.
