ANTS (Fermici'dae) 
Georgia M. &. Smith (March): Specimens of Solenopsis littoralis 
Creighton, collected by M. S. Yeomans from a greenhouse at 
Fort Vail ey^.w ere submitted to me for identification by Mr. 
Tom O'Neill of the Georgia State Board of Entomology. The 
species heretofore has been known only from localities along 
the Gulf coast of Mississippi and Alabama. That the ants 
are highly granivorous is indicated by a. number of observa- 
tions previously made on them.
