22. Macromischa purpurata Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 184 8 ■ 



This superb ant was taken by Gundlach at Santiago de Cuba and 

 Yateras in the eastern part of the island. His collection contains a 

 single worker cotype (no. 315). 



23. Macromischa porphyritis Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 185 8 . 



Gundlach took this species near the city of Matanzas on the cliffs 

 at the opening of the beautiful Yumuri Valley. His collection con- 

 tains two co types bearing the no. 228. The Poey collection also 

 contained this species (no. 176), which should therefore be represented 

 in the collection of the Academy of natural sciences of Philadelphia. 



24. Macromischa squamifera Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 186 9 . 



This species was taken by Gundlach at Rangel. There is a single 

 cotype with the no. 250 in his collection. 



25. Macromischa versicolor Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 187 3 . 



Gundlach states that he found the types of this species " in the f aral- 

 lones near the village Nueva Gerona, on the Isla de Pinos." There is 

 no specimen of it in his collection, and this is explained by the remark 

 in his note-book: "se perdio por la muerte de Roger." 



26. Macromischa iris Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 188 8 . 



The types of this species were given to Gundlach by Poey without 

 any record of locality. There is a single cotype in the Gundlach coll. 

 bearing the no. 121. In the Poey coll. it bore the no. 318, and 

 should be represented in the collection of the Academy of natural 

 sciences of Philadelphia.
