Messor aciculatus Sm. v. risianaHNS n. v.

[[ worker ]]. Longueur: 4 mm, 2 - 4 mm, 7. Tres voisin de la var. bruneicornis For. du Japon. Il n'en differe que par ses scapes et ses tibias couverts de poils herisses, par ses mandibules et ses antennes plus claires, rousses, et par ses scapes un peu plus courts. La taille est aussi un peu plus ramassee et encore plus monomorphe. Cette espece a une petite dent a la base des scapes; les nombreux poils herisses de son corps et de ses membres sont obtus, c'est a dire tranches a l'extremite un peu a la facon des LeptothoraxHNS.
