In addition to the single North American species originally 

 described, four likewise myrmecophilous species of the genus have 

 since been described by Bolivar from South America. •''^^ The 

 remarkable antennae, with all but the second and third joints 

 decidedly longer than wide, are, in that author's opinion, sufficiently 

 different from those of the other known species of roaches, to war- 

 rant the erection of a new subfamily, which he terms, the Atta- 

 philinae.'^^'-* 



Kirby, in 1904 placed the genus in the Polyphaginae.'*''
