16. Eciton rufipes ^HNS, N. S.

Worker, length 11 - 48 th of an inch; head oblong; eyes very large, slightly advanced; thorax considerably grooved, abdominal pedicles long, low; abdomen long, ovate, black with rufous legs.

I have only found this species on one occasion under a stone in the Salem district, and know not if it has the dendrophilous habits of the two last.
