The habits of several species of beetles are described, as they were 
observed in ants’ nests placed under glass for the purpose. He gives 
many remarkable and interesting details, and concludes that the relations 
of ants’-nest beetles to the ants are of a very varied character, Atemeles 
being a true guest, living in the most intimate and friendly relations 
with its hosts, while Dinarda and Hetccrius are treated with tolerance, 
but indifference, and Myrmedonia is an enemy, and treated as such by 
the ants.
