The E. vagans HNS and E. crassicornis HNS have been received from the same locality, and both are entirely of a reddish-brown colour, including the mandibles and legs; there can be little doubt of their belonging to the same species; in general form they resemble E. hamata HNS , the large worker having similar elongated curved mandibles.
