 The
photomontage is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0004984
- this seems nearer the Bolton separation with a rounded head shape,
red-brown colour (not black as procerus) and shiny lobes of
frontal carinae; no obvious striated sculpturation; long antennal
scapes. Otherwise possibly a new species.
