Described from the type in the collection of the British Museum. 

 Formica tincta of Smith, the type of which, a $ , is also in the 

 British Museum collection, seems to me only a colour variation of 

 this species. C. tindus has the reddish yellow of the abdomen 

 marked with three broad transverse black bands.
