172 wheeler: ants collected in Grenada, w. i. 



of abdominalis subspecies comprising sharpi Forel of St. Vincent and 

 hannani Forel and ivillardi Forel of Jamaica. It really represents 

 one of the transitions between these insular forms and those of the 

 American continent like atriceps F. Smith and epaciccps Roger. It 

 differs from hannani and willardi in color, in lacking the erect hairs 

 on the scapes and in having very few such hairs on the legs; whereas 

 sharpi, with which it is very closely related in color, has absolutely 

 no erect hairs on the legs. Perhaps nocens should be regarded merely 

 as a variety of sharpi, rather than as an independent subspecies.

 ous workers, males and winged females taken from hollow stems at
