This is avery common ant in the Dekhani^ and seems- to be dis- 

 tributed without much variation all ove»^ ladia ; it is met in the 

 same, or allnost the same, form, in Egypt, and along the shores of 

 the Mediterranean. The thorax is very nairrow, which makes the 

 abdomen look disproportionately large; this latter has a silky look, 

 which takes away from its jet-black colour ; the thorax is reddish .. 

 It is usually found in large communities, under stones, without any 

 underground nest to speak of. There is always a large number of 

 fertile $ , I have counted as many as 2©>j: they are curiously banded 

 with black. Though not quite so unsettled as Pr. lon^icornis., 

 they do not seem to be strongly attached to their llome, and change 

 their quarters on small provocation. In this species I have seen the 

 nearest, and indeed the only, approach to the harvesting of the 

 MyrmicidcB; though the harvesting was of the most rudimentary 

 character, it is curious to note that this nest was abnormally placed 

 in a burrow in the open.
