Emery's (1899)
description is at .
There is a conflict between the Emery (1899e)
description and drawing and Bolton's separation of T. andrei
and camerunensis. Emery explicitly described camerunensis
as less slender, the head less elongated, the scape surpassing the
occiput by one-third its own length, the profile of the propodeum with
a very rounded obtuse angle. Now (2014), using the digital method
of image layering the profile drawings and the type worker photographs
confirms the drawings were mislabelled. Therefore I am not
including the Bolton drawing here.
