4 mm.), but the females are always winged. The form I de- 

 scribed from Catalina Island* as M. minutum subsp. ergatogyna, 

 which has ergatoid females like those of ebcnmum and minutum, may- 

 prove to be the typical minutum accidentally introduced into Catalina. 

 Its workers are, however, decidedly larger than the Venetian speci- 

 mens, though they have the same depressed and sloping epinotum. 



Postscript. 



Since the foregoing paragraphs were sent to the printer. Pro- 

 fessor Emery has published a revision of the genus Strongylognathus 

 (Beitrage zur Monographic der Formiciden dcs palaarktischen 

 Faunengebietes (Hym.), IX. Dcutsch. Ent. Zeitschr., 1909, pp. 695- 

 712, 7 figs.). He not only describes several new subspecies and 

 varieties, but changes the status of some of those previously known. 

 The following is a list of the -forms as they now stand, including 

 the new subspecies described above : 



Strongylognathus testaceus Schenck (Central and Southern 



Europe). 

 S. hubcri Forel, including: 



Subsp. huheri liuhcri Forel (Canton Vallais, Switzerland) ; 

 var. gallica Emery (Pyrenees) ; 

 var. forcli Emery (Eastern Algeria) ; 



var. cJiristopJii Emery (Eastern and Southeastern Russia) ; 

 Subsp. alpinus Wheeler (Zermatt, Switzerland) ; 

 Subsp. rehbinderi Forel (Caucasus) ; 



var. cecconii Emery (Tremiti Islands in the Adriatic) ; 

 Subsp. ruzskyi Emery (Ural Mts.).

Subsp. afcr afcr Emery (Western Algeria) ; 

 Subsp. ccccilicc Forel (Spain). 

 5". alpinus resembles 6". hubcri var. gallica, to judge from Emery's 

 brief description of the worker : " Kopfseite noch mehr gebogen als 

 im Typus ; Postpetiolus im Verhaltnis zum Petiolusknoten viel 

 kiirzer ; Thoraxrucken kaum cingedriickt; Epinotum mit schwacher 

 Spur von Zahnen." I had originally dedicated the subspecies alpinus
