and South American specimens, being somewhat paler than 
the var. nigra Forel and darker than the var. diabola Wheeler.

of Sciences, and 8 specimens in author’s collection. 
9. Solenopsis globularia pacifica, new subspecies. 
Worker. Eyes slightly smaller, pilosity longer and coarser, 
postpetiole and gaster distinctly more voluminous as com- 
pared with the petiole than in the typical form, represented 
in my collection by specimens taken by W. M. Mann in 
Natal, Brazil. 
Male. Eyes more convex and perhaps a little larger, head 
narrower behind, mandibles smaller, epinotum more sloping, 
more rounded and less angular than in the typical globularia. 
The color is also different, the body being dark brown, the 
antenne and legs whitish or pale yellow, whereas in the 
typical form the body is black and the appendages brown. 
Thirteen workers and four males from Albemarle and 
Tower Islands (“Albatross 1899”, U. S. Nat. Mus.). Albe- 
marle should be regarded as the type locality. 
Cotypes, 2 specimens, No. 446, from Albemarle Island, 
Museum California Academy of Sciences, and 6 specimens 
from Albemarle in author’s collection. 
10. Solenopsis globularia pacifica rubida, new variety. 
Worker. Length 1.8 mm. 
Differing from the other forms of the species in color, the

and the first gastric segment, except its anterior and posterior 
borders, black. The postpetiole is globular, but little broader 
than long. 
Described from a single specimen taken by Dr. Williams on 
Hood Island “under a stone”.
