SECOND YAEKAND MISSION. 
mfo-fuscons; beneatE, the pro-and metathorax and also the legs castaneo-rnfons. Abdomen, 
snbglobose; the scale and petiole, and the two basal segments castaneo-rnfons, their apical 
margins black, the second most broadly so ; beneath, these segments are entirely castaneons.

In the same bottle in spirit a male ant accompanied the female; its size and general 
appearance jnstify me in considering it to be the male of (7. Bacchus ; it is lines long, 
black, with the antennae and legs pale furrnginons, the scape being darker than the flagel¬ 
lum ; the mandibles, palpi and post-scutellum are also pale ferruginous; the wings flavo- 
hyaline; the nervures pale rufo-testaceous ; the stigma fuscous. 
iZaS. —Jhilam Valley, Punjab Hills. Ceylon, Calcutta, and Islands of the Eastern 
Archipelago. 
This genus is cosmopolitan; its species are numerous, new kinds occurring in almost 
every collection made in little frequented places; any attempt to calculate the number of 
species would be an impossibility; until each species has been collected from its nest, and all 
the different kinds of sexes carefully ascertained, the number of specific forms cannot be ascer¬ 
tained ; workers of several sizes and forms occur in nests of many species, and if captured 
at large, are doubtless described as distinct; the number of species doubtless amounts to 
hundreds. 
26. Eoemica simulata. 
Operaria.— F. rufo-ferruginea, Iccmssime cinereo-micans ; fronte vertice et abdomine 
nigrofuscis; squama subtriangulariter rotundata, margine supero rotundato; area 
frontali opaca. 
The head red, with the vertex and the front, as far as the insertion of the antennae, 
more or less rufo-fuscous; the clypeus with a longitudinal sharp carina in the middle; its 
anterior margin rounded and entire; mandibles ferruginous, with their teeth black; the 
antennae ferruginous, with the flagellum, beyond the third joint, fuscous. Thorax and 
legs bright blood-red. Abdomen covered with fine cinereous pile; in some examples 
fusco-ferruginous at the base; with a few scattered pale setae; the scale of the peduncle red, 
its superior margin rounded. IVorker, length 3 lines. 
Hab. —On the road across the Pamir, from Sirikol to Panja; also at Yarkand; April 
and May. 
This species closely resembles the Formica sanguinea of Europe, particularly small 
workers of that species; the specimens were collected in spirit; therefore it is probable the 
entire insect would, when living, be covered with a fine pile.
