11. Pheidole sp. 



Four males representing two species, possibly the two preceding. 



12. Tetramorium guineense Fabr. 



Numerous workers and dealated females. A common tropico- 

 politan ant. 



13. Triglyphothrix obesa Em. Andre. 



Two winged females, which agree very closely with the descrip- 

 tion of workers from India and are a little darker in color than three 

 dealated females of the var. anstralis Forel in my collection. 



14. Tapinoma melanocephalum Fabr. 



Two workers. A common tropicopolitan species. 



15. Technomyrmex albipes F. Smith. 



Several workers and dealated females of this form which is widely 

 distributed through Madagascar, southern Asia and the Pacific islands 

 and is evidently tending to become tropicopolitan. 



16. Plagiolepis longipes Jerdon. 



Numerous workers and males and two females. This is also a 

 widely distributed species in southern Asia and the Pacific Islands 

 and has been taken in western Mexico. 



17. Prenolepis minutula Forel subsp. atomus Forel var. fullawayi, new var. 



A number of workers agree very closely with cotypes of the 

 typical mUiutida of Australia in my collection and with Forel's de- 

 scription of the subsp. atomiis from Ralum in the Bismarck Archi- 

 pelago, except in color. This is dark brown throughout, instead of 

 yellow, with the exception of the mandibles and tarsi, which are 

 yellow. The head is shaped like that of atomiis. being as broad in 

 front as behind, and the third funicular joint is scarcely perceptibly 

 longer than broad. The pilosity and pubescence are as well developed 

 as in the typical minutula. 



18. Prenolepis bourbonica Forel. 



Four workers and a male of this species, which is known also from 

 India, the Island of Reunion, Hawaii and the Nicobar, Cargados and 

 Chagos Islands. 



19. Prenolepis longicornis Fabr. 



Several workers and females. A common tropicopolitan species 

 of Old World origin, known in tropical America as the " crazy ant."
