The photomontage of a "type" major worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0901284.

The photomontage of a "type" minor worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0901286.

The photomontage is of the above "type" minor worker but I have applied a colour "correction" to try and match the Arnold description of "dark brown, gaster blackish-brown, legs and antennae dark yellowish-brown, the femora darker, mandibles pale reddish-brown".

The photomontage of a "type" queen is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0901285.

The photomontage of a "type" male is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0901287.
