Abstract

All castes of Pheidole inquilina (Wheeler) new combination, including the soldier which is reported for the first time, were found in nests of Pheidole pilifera coloradensis Emery, a host species, at the Nevada Test Site. The soldier is described and figured. The finding of the soldier, with its obvious Pheidole characteristics, has made it necessary to transfer inquilina to the genus Pheidole Westwood and to synonymize the monobasic genus Epipheidole Wheeler.
