The bequaerti shown by Bolton & Fisher, Fig 1-2 CASENT0005922, and on Antweb (CASENT0102992, CASENT0104136, CASENT104137) have a head with weakly convex sides and are narrower anteriorly. This has a parallel sided head. Bolton & Fisher explicitly state the head of bequaerti is entirely smooth and shining; this has the head matt and distinctly though finely sculptured; and, the mandibles have much more pronounced teeth. |
