(59). A very common species. The communities are 
generally rather small, but may be composed of several 
hundred, or even a thousand, individuals. The formi- 
caria are very simple, advantage being taken of a space 
among rotting leaves on the ground, or there is a single 
chamber—sometimes two or three close together—under 
a stone or stick, at the roots of grass, or under bark, 
nearly always in a damp place. In this the ants are 
found closely packed, with a single female, or several, if 
the community is large, and the eggs and larve. The 
workers are sluggish in their movements, and the females 
still more so. ‘The workers are frequently found on foli- 
age, forest or open land.
