Smaller and often someiwhat lighter of color than f lavlpes, which it 

 elsewhere very much resembles both in form and punctation. Is however easi- 

 ly separated from this mainly h^, that antennae are shorter and more ro- 

 bust, their middle and next-last joints are distinctly transverse, and that 

 abdomen anteriorly is somewhat more densely punctated. L. 3 ram. 



It.livfis with Lasius fuli:;inosus . is distributed throughout North and 

 Middle Europe, everywhere rare; heretofore only found in few placed in this 

 conatj-y (North Sjaelland: Ruderhegn, Conse); but however most likely dis- 

 tributed with the host ant.

It is closely related to the two preceding; species: Temples and genae 

 immarginate, outer joints of the antennae (4-lG) closely oompact, middle- 

 coxae rather broadly separated, and like these lives in thu nnt hjlls. 

 It is however easily separated from both of these oy tnu feeble, dull jloss 

 of the body, and the entire medial groove of pronotum etc. 



Black or brownish-black, dully shining, very finely huirod; abdominal 

 tip brownish-red; entennae pitch colored with lighter base; legs yellow 

 or brownish yellow.
