38 THE entomologist's record. 



Britain, to kindly communicate with me. I shall also be pleased to 

 name ants for anyone who may possess a British Collection, or 

 unnamed specimens. , 



FORMICID.E. 



Subfamily Myrmicin.e. 



}f!/niu'ciua iiraniinicola, Latr, — 2 deiilated $ $ , and 3 ^ ? were 

 taken in company with Lasins jianm at Bletchington, Oxon., on May 

 17th ; 6 ? S carrying their larvjB, in a nest of L. iiu.i-tim at Box Hill 

 on May 25th ; and a dealated ? , in a nest of L. niLcttis at Box Hill 

 on September 25th. 



Solow/isis fiujax, Latr. — A few ^ ^ were taken by Crawley and 

 myself in company with Fonnica fuxca var. fusco-rnfibarbis at 

 Sandown, I. of W., on August 10th. 



I discovered a large colony at Blackgang Chine, on August 2Gth, 

 situated in a large block of green-sand, two feet long by a foot broad. 

 Vast quantities of ^ ^ , great numbers oi 3 S and a few winged 5 $ 

 occurred. Eggs, larvae, <? and ^ pupt^ and one ? pupa (subsequently 

 reared) were present. No other ants, or ants' nests were near, and no 

 Aphidae, noi myrmecophiles were found, 



M)/i)iii(a laevhwdis, Nyl. — Colonies were found at Tenby, and 

 abundant under stones on the marshy ground in front of Manorbier 

 Castle, in Pembrokeshire, in April. Four partly winged ? 2 occurred 

 in a nest at Bletchington, May 12th. 



Myriiiica riii/inoilifi, Nyl. — Tenby and Manorbier in April. 



Mi/nnica sicabrinoJis, Nyl. — Colonies at Tenby in April, one under 

 the same stone as L. tiavns, April 25th. An isolated dealated $ , 

 under a stone on April 27th. Three colonies under the same stones as 

 L. Jiarua at Bletchington, on May 17th. 



In July I found a form of i^rahrinndis at Rannoch, in two nests of 

 F. riifa var. alpina, inhabiting part of the latters' hillocks, only ^ ? 

 and larv;e being found. The shape of the antennje exhibits a slight 

 transverse ridge (more developed in some specimens), reaching across 

 from the lateral tooth and forming a small point, or angle, opposite to 

 the same. These specimens may represent the var. scabrinodo-lobi- 

 comi.s, Forel.

 brokeshire, and the Landslip, L of W. One of the latter in the same
