SPECIMENS EXAMINED

UNITED STATES, ARIZONA, Santa Cruz Co., Florida Canyon , Santa Rita Mts. ( LACM, GCSC) .

MEXICO, JALISCO, Chamela Biological Station ( USNM) ; Ototonilco ( USNM). OAXACA, 13 mi NW Oaxaca , 5500 ft. ( LACM) .

DISCUSSION

This species has not been previously recorded from the United States. Its discovery in southern Arizona raises the possibility that this species, rather than N. melanocephalus   HNS , might be the worker caste of N. mandibularis   HNS . The question cannot now be resolved.
