worker caste bimorphic

Refers to a worker caste which shows a bimodal variation in size with a distinct small forms (minor workers) and large forms (major workers), but little to no variance in between. In general majors differ from minors in overall body length as well as in having relatively larger heads. The only bimorphic taxa in Antkey are Pheidole and some species of Cephalotes.
