. 14. Previous trustworthy records in the adjacent areas have suggested its occurence in Korea. The present record from SE implies its widespread occurrence in the Korean Peninsula. In southern Honshu and Kyushu (Japan), this species is confined to mountaneous areas. The same trend is expected for the Korean population. Coloration: (Worker) Head black; plumose hairs above ocelli pale yellow.Mesosoma black; collaris moderately wide attaining anterior one-third to two-fifths of mesoscutal length, pale yellow with sparse admixture of black hairs; suctellaris anteriorly intermixed with pale yellowish hairs in one specimens, posteriorly mixed with variable amount of pale yellow hairs, few to predominant; pleura above two-thirds pale yellow or whitish, posteriorly with sparse to considerable admixture of black hairs. Metasoma T^ pale yellow with sparse admixture of black hairs; Tg ochreous yellow, mediapically triangularly mixed with black hairs of variable amount; T„ entirely black; T^ deep orange, basally narrowly mixed with black Fig. 1.
