18. Monomorium cinnabari Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 199 g . 



The types of this form were taken by Gundlach in the environs 

 of Cardenas. His collection contains two cotypes (no. 154). An 

 examination of these leads me to believe that they represent merely a 

 variety of floricola, but fresh specimens from the type locality should 

 be examined before a definite statement can be made in regard to the 

 status of this form. 



19. Cardiocondyla emeryi Forel. 

 Mitth. Munch, ent. ver., 1881, 5, p. 5 8 . 



A single worker of this widely distributed form was taken by Mr. 

 E. A. Schwarz at Cayamas. I have recorded it from various localities 

 in Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Jamaica, and Forel described it 

 from St. Thomas. It is also known from India, Palestine, and Mada- 

 gascar. Recently I have received a specimen from Miami, Florida. 



20. Tetramorium guineense (Fabricius). 



Formica guineensis Fabr., Ent. syst., 1793, 2, p. 357 § . 



This is another tramp species introduced from the Old World. 

 Gundlach says that it inhabits various localities in the island and in 

 his note-book mentions Cardenas as one of these. His collection con- 

 tains two worker and three female specimens. I took several workers 

 in an abandoned garden at the ingenio "Armonia" near Bolondron 

 and several fine colonies under logs in the Cienaga de Zapata near 

 San Francisco de Morales. I have also four workers taken at Caya- 

 mas by Mr. E. A. Schwarz. 



21. Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger). 



Tetramorium? auropunctatuvi Roger, Berl. ent. zeitsch., 1863, 7, 

 p. 182 g 9 <?• 



The types of this widely distributed neotropical ant were taken by 

 Gundlach at Mata near Baracoa in the Province Oriente. He states 

 that it is called "santaniea" by the natives. His collection contains 

 a female and three worker cotypes (no. 321). I have received a 

 number of workers taken near Havana by Prof. C. F. Baker.
