75. Camponotus sphaeralis Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 147 £ . 



Gundlach says that he could not remember where he collected this 

 species, and as the specimens were lost on Roger's death, it is not 

 represented in the collection. 



A single worker taken by Prof. C. F. Baker at Havana agrees very 

 closely with Roger's description. It differs from sphaericus in having 

 the pronotum longer in proportion to its width and the appressed 

 hairs, or pubescence, on the body flattened, squamiform, and more 

 abundant, especially on the gaster. The color and shape of the body 

 are so much like those of sphaericus that one is tempted to regard it 

 merely as a subspecies, but more material will be required to establish 

 the relationship of the two forms. 



76. Camponotus gilviventris Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 145 $ . 



According to Gundlach, this species lives in the mountains through- 

 out the island. His collection contains a single cotype (no. 317). 



77. Camponotus (Colobopsis) riehli Roger. 

 Berl. ent. zeitschr., 1863, 7, p. 159 9 . 



Gundlach took this species in the western part of the island. There 

 is a single winged cotype in his collection (no. 155).
