18 A REVISION OF THE GENUS CLIDICUS. 



larly myrmecophilous (gesetzmassig myrmekopliil) ^). 

 If this is the case also ia Clidicus , must be decided by ob- 

 servations , which are very scarce till now. The specimen of 

 Clidicus grandis Cast. (Var. Ganglhaneri Rttr.) in the Wiener 

 Hofmuseura has the note affixed: »Ploem, Java 1870; bei 

 Ameisen {Lohopelta).^^ The last three words are in the hand- 

 writing of Dr. G. Mayr , the famous myrmecologist of Vienna. 

 Moreover Fruhstorfer wrote to me, that he found Cli- 

 dicus formicarius in western Java with ants (Pengalengan , 

 4000', 1893); the ant is, according to Prof. Emery's 

 information, Lobopelta {Leptogenys) i^r-w/^sior/m Em. There- 

 fore it seems probable , that the genus Clidicus is in- 

 deed myrmecophilous and lives with ants of the genus 

 Lohopelta.
