 from Cayamas (E. A. Schwarz) in my collection is also referable to 

 this species.

Gundlach took this ant in various localities in the western part of 

 the island, but only Havana and Firmina are cited in the note-book.

Several workers received from Mr. Patricio Cardin, who took them 

 at Santiago de las Vegas, near Havana, are referable to the typical 

 form of this subspecies. They are small, dark colored, rather hairy 

 and pubescent and have the posterior surface of the petiole smooth.

The specimens of 0. haematoda in the Gundlach coll. (one male, 

 one female, and one worker with the no. 90) belong to this pale vari- 

 ety. Gundlach states that he took it in both halves of the island.
