The study of the present genus by Schimmer 142 is by far the most 

 complete work on the subject to be found in the literature. 



Paratypes from Washington were taken with Cremastogaster litieo- 

 lata Say and Formica pallidefulva Latreille. The specimens from 

 Balsam were with Camponotus herculeanus Linnaeus subspecies pennsyl- 

 vanicus De Geer, and those from Clayton with Cremastogaster lineolata 

 Say variety near pilosa Pergande. 143

143 The identifications of the ant hosts given here have been most kindly fur- 

 nished by Professor Wm. M. Wheeler. Bruner. with the original description of 

 the present species, gives the ant hosts as Camponotus pennsylwnicus, Formica 

 rufa and Cremasbmjaster lineolata. His Formica rufa determination is based on 

 the specimens correctly recorded above as Formica pallidefulva.
