#312675 [Note: traditionally, major workers in this predominantly worker-dimorphic genus are termed “soldiers”, and minor workers “workers” (e.g.; Smith, 1947a, Kempf, 1951, De Andrade & Baroni Urbani, 1999). This terminology is maintained here, while recognising that the term “soldier” refers only to size/morphology, not to the function of the caste.]
