diagnostic description ⁸

Une [[queen]] desailee, peut-etre nouvelle, mais sans certitude, car les reines des petits Pheidole sont tres peu decrites. Ziela, savane (LaMOTTE). Se placerait entre corticicola SANT., (espece commune au Banco) et decarinata SANT. du Soudan. A revoir quand les ouvrieres seront prises. Cette Fourmi est remarquablement petite pour une reine (4 mm. 8).
