The Ants of the Baltic Amber.

Body black, legs in some specimens dark brown; wings uniformly 
smoky brown, with darker veins and stigma. 
Described from four specimens in the Geolog. Inst. Koenigsberg

specimens are more or less obscnred by white films and bubbles and 
in none of them can the precise form of the petiole be determined. 
In every one of them the gaster is enclosed in a froth of minute

liquid amber at the same time and place and that they were all members 
of the same nuptial flight. One of the amber blocks contains a large 
number of the stellata hairs of oak-leaves. 
At first I regarded this ant as a Camponoius of the subgenus 
Colobopsis , but the different structure of its antennse, which are 
11-jointed, and of the frontal carinse, place it near Aphomomyrmex. It 
resembles A. afer Emery, but this species has 10-jointed antennse in 
the female. As I have not been able to find the worker of the amber 
species, it has seemed best to regard the female, at least provisionally, 
as the type of a new but extinct genus intermediate between Aphomo -
