Cataulacus linearis Santschi

Type location Kenya (Cataulacus Wissmanni For., stirps linearis, nov., Santschi, 1914b: 109, illustrated, worker) .

Santschi's (1914b) description is at .

WORKER - the worker shown below clearly matches Santschi's description and is very distinct from the type form Cataulacus wissmannii; Bolton (1974a) stated he examined the Santschi specimen but this has distinctly larger eyes OI 47 cf wissmannii OI 41-43, and has straight sides to the head behind the eyes. It also has a pronounced subpostpetiolar process ("weakly developed or absent in wissmannii") and the gaster dorsum is very strongly and wholly linearly rugose.

The photomontage of the type worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0912575
