Polyrhachis (Myrma) militaris subspecies cupreopubescens variety dido HNS , new name
This name is suggested to replace argentatus Stitz HNS , which is preoccupied by P. argentatus F. Smith HNS [= Formica argentata Fabricius HNS = P. sexspinosa (Latreille) HNS ].
I possess two workers of this beautiful variety from Mt. Coffee, Liberia, collected by R. P. Currie. The thorax, petiole, coxae, and ventral portions of the gaster are covered with dense, brilliant, silver pubescence, the upper surface of the gaster with brilliant golden pubescence as in cupreopubescens HNS . The lateral spines of the petiole are very short.
