SOME GENERA OF F0RM1CWAV 395 



at Poona, with a now species of Gardtocondyfa, which lives in blisters 



lea j'am'bolan'a (Misters probably eaifcsed by 



small grubs). Is it, as [ am led to believe, a case of symbiosis, 



bus to that vfSWonyyiognathus ? Is it a lusus natural' t Or is it 



possible that Emcryia is the 'soldier' of OanUocondi/Ial This last 



8U] enis to me most improbable; the other species of Cnv- 



have no 'soldiers/ and antennae in that genus are 12-jointed. 



Genus TltlGLYrilOTHRIX, n gen 



5 short, stoutly built. Antennso 12-jointed; club composed of throe 

 un'eqUal joints. Epistome as in the genus Tb$mtnorium\ its posterior 

 edge raised and curved b: 1 Is forms anteriorly, as a ridge, the 



boundary of the antennal groove. Frontal Iges wide apart, nearer 

 the outer edge than the median line of the head ; they are produced 

 backwards almost to the posterior angle of the head. Between the 



s is a wide and deep double groove, which serves to lodge both the 

 scape and funiculum of the antennas; to this end, this groove is 

 bounded laterally by a ridge which, commencing from the anterior 



le of the head, touches the interior edge of the eye, and going 

 backwards in a curve is lost in the posterior extremity of the pro- 

 duced frontal ridge. The double groove is moreover divided longi- 

 tudinally for the anterior three-fourths or four-fifths of its length by 

 a ridge which separates the grooves in which are lodged the scape and 

 funiculum respectively; anteriorly this dividing ridge terminates a little 

 to one side of the posterior recurved edge of the epistome. The back 

 of the thorax broad, bounded by a faint ridge. Sutures obsolescent. 

 Metanotum two-spined. Mota-sternum bi-dentate. Knots of the 

 pedicle very broad ; the lirst shortly petiolate. Abdomen truncate 

 and notched anteriorly, almost entirely covered by its 1st segment, 

 which is bounded by a very faint ridge, especially anteriorly. 



The hairs with which the body and extremities are abundantly 

 covered have a peculiar structure ; from the bottom of each hair 

 bearing pit starts the stem of a hair which almost immediately 

 divides into three diverging branches, rarely more or less. This 

 multiplicity of trifld hairs gives a general woolly aspect to the insect.
