L. 9.0 mm.</p><p>Colour (type), dark brown-black; funiculi and tarsi reddish-brown, gaster with a faint metallic lustre.</p><p>The colour in head and thorax varies from dark brown, almost black, to a dark red, lightest on head, deepening along the thorax to the petiole which is dark brown. In the red forms the articulation of the legs, the anterinæ and mandibles, are red. The apex of each segment of gastei 1 has a pale yellowish border.</p><p>Fourth joint of maxillary palpi slightly longer than 3rd, the 5th much longer than the 6th. Palpi fringed with moderately long hairs, not so long as in bicolor . Head quadrate; clypeus with central portion raised and with a slight keel, the anterior border feebly concave. Eyes situate in posterior 3rd of sides of head. The scape passes the occiput by a 3rd of its length. Mesonotum in profile feebly convex or quite flat; on each side, just below the centre, the mesonotum bears a short blunt protuberance, slightly sloping forwards. These protuberances vary in size, are largest in the largest 5, absent or barely discernible in the ÿ media, and entirely. absent in the small a. Node of petiole viewed from above, rounded, slightly broader than long; in profile it is broad and low, rounded above, convex anteriorly and nearly straight behind. Legs very long.</p><p>Mandibles coarsely striate. Head entirely matt and microscopically reticulate with a few punctures on cheeks. Frontal area somewhat shining. Sculpture on thorax and node similar to that on head, but more shining. Gaster microscopically reticulate.</p><p>A moderately long beard under chin; a few long hairs on clypeus, a few short ones on pronotum, epinotum and scale. A grey pubescence on thorax, epinotum and scale, most abundant on epinotum. Antennæ without hairs.</p><p>☿ Minor. L. 6.0 mm.</p><p>Head red, thorax and node darker red. Anterior border of clypeus more distinctly emarginate. Scapes proportionately longer; mesonotum saddle-shaped and without protuberances, the node lower, and the whole insect more slender. Otherwise resembles the 5 major. Length of scapes and shape of mesonotum in 5 media intermediate between 5 maxima and minima. Amara, 1918 (Buxton).</p><p>I have given a somewhat detailed description of this variety of October 15th, 1920. bicolor as the presence of the blunt projections on the mesonotum is, as far as I am aware, unique in this genus. The end of the process is obliquely cut off, and has no resemblance to the spines in e.g., the genus Polyrhachis . The ant, according to the specimens I received, is somewhat smaller than bicolor, i.sp., which, in specimens I took in Egypt, attains a length of 12-Omm.</p><p>Evans captured a few examples of this variety, two of which were sent to me, with the note that both specimens were found coming out of the same hole in the sand. The g major is typical, but the g minor is entirely orange yellow, with the gaster paler, and is altogether a stouter insect than the ☿ ☿ minor taken with Buxton’s examples.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8314B93948041B60B0CA65A292E038C7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Head entirely smooth and shining, with a few minute piligerous points, pronotum also smooth and shining; rest of thorax and epinotum closely thimble-punctured, pedicel less so. Gaster entirely smooth and shing.</p><p>♀ (Hitherto undescribed). L. 4 - 5 mm.</p><p>Yellow, but a deeper shade than the ÿ: a narrow V-shaped mark on scutum, a patch on each side of mesonofcum, the wing insertions and borders of ocelli brown; a band, broadening at the sides, along the apical border of first segment of gaster, and the whole of the remaining segments of gaster dark brown; extreme apical borders of segments yellow. 'Pilosity as in 5, but longer. Head longer than broad, but shorter proportionately than in 5; occipital border shallowly excavated; scapes somewhat shorter proportionately; eyes large, slightly in advance of middle of sides. Dorsum of thorax almost horizontal; epinotum descends abruptly with hardly any division between base and declivity.</p><p>First node narrower in profile than in g. Gaster large, oval. Head with a superficial longitudinal striation; thorax shining, with a few small punctures, epinotum and pedicel as in g; gaster shining.</p><p>☿, Amara (Buxton) 1918; N.E. of Baghdad (Evans) 1918, with a single dealated 5.</p><p>Recorded in 1918 by Donisthorpe* as a colour variety of M. (Paraholcomynnex) destructor, Jerd . The characters of the subgenus Paraholcomynnex, however, as defined by Emery (Bull. Soc. ent. Fr., 'p. 191, 1915) are: ÿ g somewhat dimorphic, first and second joints of club of antennæ visibly equal. Pallidum has the first joint of club considerably shorter and narrower than the second, and its ☿ ☿ are monomorphic; it will therefore rank as a species belongipg to the subgenus Monomorium (s.str.).</p><p>* Specimens were sent by me to Mons. Emery as I was unable to make it agree with any known species and he returned them to me as a pale form of M. destructor . I therefore described it as a new variety of that species. I entirely agree with Mr. Crawley that it is a new species .-H.St.J.D.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FE4916079E2F8599F4828BA09A7AF0C3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
