certain, because in 1891 I captured in Corsica a single specimen of a 
TJropoda also very similar to tli3 drawings and descriptions of 
lamellosa , and which I had supposed to be that species, but which 
was not quite the same as the Cornish species, although very like it.

Several specimens of this species have been found by Mr. Bostock 
at Buxton in Derbyshire in the nests of Formica fusca, and by him 
and myself in the nests of the same ant near the Land’s End, Corn- 
wall.

This curious species, one of the most remarkable known, was 
found by Sir John Lubbock in the nests of an ant ( Lasius flavus) 
which he was keeping for observation. When I drew up the de- 
scription of the species for Sir John Lubbock’s paper quoted above, I 
had only the two or three specimens which Sir John had been able to 
send me to describe from ; I consequently was not aware that when 
really perfect this creature carries upon its dorsal surface a large 
number of thick, yellowish-white, spatulate hairs, which are so ex- 
tremely caducous and easily detached that there was not a sign of 
them on the specimens described from ; and, indeed, although I have 
lately obtained a considerable number of specimens, it is only rarely 
that I have found the hairs at all perfect. 
In addition to the hairs mentioned in the original description a 
perfect specimen will bear the following, viz. the inner edge of each 
of the two great, elevated, chitinous blocks which stand on the outer 
sides of the central depression of the hinder part of the abdomen is 
bordered by a close row of large, curved, spatulate yellowish-white 
hairs pointed at the ends and directed almost horizontally across the 
body; two (paired) bunches of about three similar hairs pointing 
backward are situated not far from the hind margin and a little nearer 
to the median line ; and two other bunches of similar hairs, pointing 
outward, project from the anterior parts of the lateral edges of the 
irregular rough elevated triangle on the anterior part of the abdomen. 
A little within these last-named lateral edges is a row of spatulate 
hairs similar in colour and texture, but much shorter and not pointed ; 
a short double row of similar hairs is placed on the anterior part of 
this triangle in the median line, and a single row of similar hairs is
