No. 5.— Ants Collected in Grenada, W. I. by Mr. C. T. Brues. 1 

 By William Morton Wheeler. 



The ants of the island of Grenada were first systematically collected 

 by Mr. H. H. Smith and enumerated in a short paper by Prof. Auguste 

 Forel. 2 Thirty forms, nearly all of wide distribution in the West 

 Indies, are cited. 



During the summer of 1910 Mr. C. T. Brues visited Grenada for 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology and made careful search for 

 ants. Although the season was not the most favorable for collecting 

 he succeeded nevertheless in taking specimens of the twenty-four 

 forms enumerated below. Of these the following twelve do not occur 

 in Forel's list: 



Euponera (Pseudoponera) stigma Fabr. 



Anochctus (Stenomyrmex) emarginatus Fabr. (typical). 



Leptogenys punctaticcps Emery. 



Odontomachus haematodes Linn, (typical). 



Crcmastogaster brevispinosa Mayr. 



Cremastog aster laevis Mayr var. bruesi, var. nov. 



Pheidole jelskii Mayr var. antillensis Forel. 



Pheidole trieonstricta Forel. var. bruesi, var. nov. 



Myrmicoerypta brittoni Wheeler. 



Iridomyrmex iniquus Mayr. 



Camponotus abdominalis nocens, subsp. nov. 



Camponotus ustus Forel. 



Forel's list, however, comprises the following eighteen forms not 

 taken by Brues: 



Leptogenys arcuata Roger. 



Anochetus mayri Emery. 



Anochetus (Stenomyrmex) emarginatus testaceus Forel. 



Odontomachus haematodes insularis Guerin. 



Odontomachus haematodes hirsidiusculus F. Smith. 



Eciton Idugi Shuckard. 



Eciton antillanum Forel.
