Description
40. Polyrhachis tyrannicus. Pl. IV. fig. 29. B.M.
Worker. Length 3 lines.-Black: covered with a thin, silky, pale golden pile; the thorax flattened above and gradually arched to the apex of the metathorax, the lateral margins sharp and slightly recurved, the anterior angles armed with a stout acute tooth; the scale of the abdomen incrassate at the base, narrowed to the superior margin, which is transverse, and has an acute spine at each lateral angle, and a shorter acute one beneath at the side. Abdomen subglobose, the insect sprinkled with a few erect, pale hairs.
Hab. China.
This species may probably be the worker of P. vigilans, but the armature of the scale is too widely different to justify their being united.
