Calcutta, 1872 ....G. A. J. Rothney. 



187. Ph. splendida (Forel MS.). 



Myingyan, Burma E. Y. Watson. 



Mr. Watson only sent one or two specimens of the 2. form. 



188. Ph, quadrispinosa (Jerdon).* 



Kanara E. H. Aitken { § ). 



Orissa Jas. Taylor (^ ). 



Calcutta Gr. A. J. Rothney ( 5 ). 



This is an aberrant species, having 11-jointed antennae, and, as far 

 as is known, no 3- form. Jerdon described, under the name of 

 cBCodoma, some 7 or 8 species of Pheidole, but owing to imperfect 

 descriptions and loss of types this one alone can be identified. 



189. Ph. watsoni (Forel MS.). 



Calcutta G. A. J. Rothney. 



Gen. 42. Trigonogaster (Forel). 

 This genus is very like Pheidole, with 11-jointed antennae; the 

 peculiar shape of the abdomen, from which it takes its name, is 

 characteristic ; no 3- form is known. 



190. T. recurvisjpinosus (Forel). 

 Poena Districts. 



A detailed description of this genus and species has been reprinted 

 in this Journal. 



Gen. 43. Cremastogaster (Lund). 



Antennae, 11-jointed; the insertion of the pedicle is on top of the 

 abdomen, instead of at its base as in all other ants. 



191. Gr. difformis (Smith). 



Pegu Hills and Ataran Valley, Burma... Major C. T. Bingham. 

 Major Bingham says, ''it makes a large globular nest on trees ; 

 a rare species." 



192. Or. ransonneti (Mayr). 



Nuwara Eliya, Ceylon Major Yerbury. 



Colombo G. A. J. Rothney. 



* Since the above was in print I have been able to send the $ and $ to Dr. Forel 

 from Kanara. An inspection of these forms shows that P. quarispinosa must be removed 

 to a new genus, Lo;phomyrme(o, lately established for an allied species, from Borneo, 

 by Emery.
