HYMKNOPTERA. ^J 



This species very closely resembles the O. hoimatodes, but iu- 

 dependeut of its smaller size, the head is of a different form ; 

 still it uiay possibly be a small form of that species, if such 

 exist in the colonies of the insects of this genus, a circumstance 

 which does not appear to have been observed. 



7. Odontomachus? Ghtlianii. 



Odontomachus Ghilianii, Spin. Mem.Accad.Torino, xiii. /I (1853), 



Hab. Brazil (Para). 



This is probably a species of Fonnica, notwithstanding its 

 general resemblance to a species of Odontomachus ; the abdomen 

 and scale of the peduncle are described as being the same as in 

 Formica ; and no mention being made of the sting, which in 

 Odontomachus is always more or less exserted, renders it highly 

 probable that this is only one of the more remarkable and slender 

 forms of a species of true Formica.
