AST. 13. ANTS FROM HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA MANN. 29 



PHEIDOLE GOULDI Forel. 



Honduras: Cecilia. Lombardia, Monte Cristo, San Juan Pueblo. 

 This is the common Pheidole of the plantations. It nests in dead 

 wood. 



PHEIDOLE ANASTASII Emery, variety CELLARUM Forel. 



Honduras: Ceiba. 



CREMATOGASTER BREVISPINOSA Mayr, Tariety. 



Honduras: Ceiba, Choloma, San Pedro Sula. 



Found at Ceiba in great numbers on trees in a citnis grove, where 

 it makes shelters of casters, though no large nests, and attends tlie 

 various scale and white-fly parasites of the trees. 



CREMATOGASTER ACUTA (Fabricius). 



Honduras: Ceiba. 



MONOMORIUM CARBONARIUM (Smith), variety EBENINUM Forel. 



Honduras: Ceiba. 



Megalomyrmex (Wheelerimyrmex), new subgenus. 



Differing from typical Megalomyrmex in the form of the pro- 

 and mesonotum, which are not separated by a suture and together 

 form a hemispherical mass and in the structure of the mandibles, 

 which are fiat and with only two teeth. 



Genotype. — Megalomyrmex ( WheeTerimi/rmex) sllv est rii 

 (AVheeler). 



MEGALOMYRMEX (WHEELERIMYRMEX) SILVESTRII (Wheeler). 



A good series of Avorkers were taken at Ceiba and San Juan 

 Pueblo, nesting in the ground or in rotten logs. It is a timid species 

 and very active when disturbed. My specimens agree closely with 

 cotypes from Cordoba, Mexico. 



TRANOPELTA COLUMBICA Forel, variety. 



Honduras: Lombardia, Tela. 



Numerous workers were found under stones in the woods. Emery 

 kindly compared some of my specimens with a cotype of columbica 

 in his collection, and writes that the Honduras individuals are paler 

 in color than the typical form. 



SOLENOPSIS AZTECA Forel. 



Honduras: San Juan Pueblo. 



One colony was found. The workers run to this species in Emery's 

 key and agree closely with Forel's description, which was based on 

 specimens from St. Vincent.
