Histogram plot showing percent frequency distribution of: (A) head width, (B) head length, (C) mesosoma length, and (D) pronotum width for workers and intercastes from the two type colonies. Notes that measurements for workers and intercastes are significantly different for mesosoma length and pronotum width, but not for head width or head length (see text). Arrows and numbers in each panel indicate mean values in mm. Values for ergatoid queens (n = 4) are much larger than those of workers and intercastes, and they are included in the graph only as mean values (in red).	FIGURE 8.
