Pretty common below 1500 ft.; forest or open situations. The formicarium is commonly in dry brush or vines, well above the ground, the ants occupying the hollows of sticks, ' which they apparently excavate; sometimes it is under dry bark, or at the roots of Bromeliae growing on trees. The colony may consist of many hundred individuals, the workers major somewhat less numerous than the workers minor. The species is nocturnal; unless the nest is disturbed, the ants are never seen in the daytime, but just at sunset they come out to forage; and I have frequently taken them on foliage when beating at night. When the formicarium is disturbed, the ants swarm out quickly, and are very pugnacious. The workers major and minor fight equally well, and both, I believe, engage in carrying the young to a place of safety. Though they fight well, they seem unable to find the aggressor in the daytime, unless they stumble against him; once found, they lay hold of the clothes, or whatever they can get at, and cling so firmly that I have sometimes found them still attached after an hour or more. I have never found the males and females in a colony; probably they keep to the inner passages of the nest.</p><p>(1 a). Near Lot 14 Estate (windward), 500 ft.

(No. 17).</p><p>(17). A common species about houses and open places, not far from sea-level. The formicarium is subterranean and extensive, with passages half an inch in diameter to the open ground above, or under stones. ' The colony contains many hundreds or thousands of individuals. The winged forms and larvae are often exposed by turning over stones, but the ants carry them rapidly to lower parts of the nest, six inches or more below the surface. The workers are very active and bold; when foraging they run jerkily from side to side. They are especially fond of dead animal matter. When working over insects I have often been amused, as well as annoyed, to observe the boldness of these little foragers. If an ant discovers' one of the insects she seizes it at once, and tries to drag it from the table. If I brush her off, she dodges around and behind the precious morsei, and seizes it again. Driven quite away, she runs to some shelter, but returns almost immediately, trying to drag the insect even from my fingers; and nothing short of mutilation or death will effectually stop her. One ant will drag away a load ten times as large and heavy as herself, always walking backwards, and pulling the prize after her. If it is too heavy for her unaided efforts, she runs for other foragers. As soon as she finds a companion she communicates her excitement with a touch of the antennae and both return to drag off the prize. I have seen perhaps a hundred of these ants dragging a dead lizard across the floor; the lizard was about five inches long, and the ants dragged it more than a foot in ten minutes. I never saw these ants stop to feed on a discovered morsel; the first impulse is always to drag it away. They work during the day, and also, it would seem, at night. Apparently they require water, and they may be found in water jars and tumblers drinking. They can also make their way over the surface of still water; so that food placed in a dish which is set in a plate of water is not always protected. I have seen about fifty of these ants dragging a large cockroach about three feet up a perpendicular smooth-plastered wall.</p><p>(17 a). Thicket by the seashore near Wallibou (leeward). Oct. 8 th.

It may consist of many, hundred individuals, but is oftener small. Winged males are rarely found in the colonies, but the winged females may escape observation from their ' close resemblance to the workers. When disturbed the ants move above lazily, and are not very pugnacious; a large nest, however, is not to be examined with impunity, as the ants sting rather severely if they get on the skin. In the daytime the ants keep to shady places, and are nearly always found on the ground or on logs. I do not know if they also forage at night. These ants accumulate the mounds of earth and dead flowers sometimes found in the forest, but I have never seen them cutting leaves or flowers; they may do so at night. The females fly at night.

In the woods are often seen mounds of sand and bits of earth, from which tunnels lead downward; and these ants are always found in the tunnels. The mounds may be two feet in diameter, and a foot high, indicating extensive works, from which the earth ia taken. Mingled with the earth there are nearly always quantities of small flowers, probably picked up on the ground when they fell from trees; great quantities of the flowers are also frequently seen under the stones and logs, where the ants are found with their pupae. I have not seen the ants gathering these flowers, and judge that they collect them at night.</p><p>(5). Rather rare; distinct from No 4. All seem more like the specimens sent.</p><p>(5 a).

When the nest is disturbed the ants make little effort to defend it, but wander about helplessly and rather slowly; if, however, they get on one's skin they sting severely. I have not found larvae in the nests. Apparently these ants are nocturnal in their habits; during the day they are seldom seen, except in very sheltered places, or under stones or logs.

On ne saurait le dire. Ce qui est certain, c'est que nous voyons le nombre de ces singuliers males ergatoides augmenter de plus en plus chez les fourmis, a mesure que nous etudions les faits de plus pres. Ce qui est encore certain, c'est que jusqu'ici la P. punctatissima <span><sup><a href="https://osuc.biosci.ohio-state.edu/hymenoptera/nomenclator.lsid_entry?lsid=urn:lsid:biosci.ohio-state.edu:osuc_concepts:138892" title="Lookup 'P. punctatissima' at Hymenoptera Name Server">HNS</a></sup></span> est la seule espece chez laquelle le dimorphisme du sexe male soit plus ou moins demontre.

Le [[male]] ergatoide de cette espece a ete trouve par Roger et par moi seulement, chaque fois en compagnie de [[worker]] et de [[queen]] seulement. Je le decouvris au moment du depart des [[queen]] ailees qui' etaient tres nombreuses, et je ne pus decouvrir aucun [[male]] aile parmi les [[queen]], les [[worker]] et les [[male]] apteres ergatoides. M. Emery n'a trouve par contre a Naples que le [[male]] aile, sans [[male]] ergatoides.

Emery a trouvee a Naples est une autre espece que celle de Roger et que la mienne. Le fait qu'on ne peut pas distinguer deux especes ne prouve nullement leur identite (qu'on reflechisse aux Cynipides dont plusieurs especes ne peuvent etre distinguees que par la galle vegetale que produit leur piqure!). Quoi qu'il en soit de la question du dimorphisme du [[male]], nous voyons un fait absolument certain se produire chez un nombre assez considerable de Formicides appartenant aux genres les plus divers, c'est celui de la transformation aptere et ergatomorphe, soit du [[male]], soit de la</p><p>[[queen]]. Je crois pouvoir proposer le terme d ' ergatomorphisme pour designer tous ces phenomenes de transformation regressive secondaire d'un facon generale et sans tenir compte de leur phylogenese plus ou moins probable; Une loi qui parait generale jusqu'a preuve du contraire, c'est que, chez le meme genre ou chez la meme espece, l'ergatomorphisme n'existe jamais que pour l'un des sexes.</p><p>(41 a).

Twenty or more of these tunnels were found scattered over a space several yards long and wide; this was noticed in three localities some distance apart, without, so far as I observed, any intermediate tunnel-mouths. I judge therefore that the tunnels in each locality belong to a common large formicarium, which may be at a considerable distance below the surface. I followed some of the tunnels for several inches perpendicularly down, but the clay was so hard that a pickaxe would have been required to dig further. The ants are sluggish, and have a kind of staggering gait, that reminds one of the S. American Oecodomas.</p><p>(N.

Those found in a nest are always of. the same colour, or nearly so; and, though the colour may be due to age, it is singular that there should be no variation in a community. There seem also to be differences of size and form; but my object in separating the species is simply to get better notes on them, and of course the work is very roughly done.

The formicarium is generally under sod or rubbish on a rock; sometimes in rotten wood.

Pretty common in partly decayed wood, shady or open places. The ants are found crowded thickly in dry cavities, generally an inch long and wide, and half an inch high; with them are larvae, and sometimes males, but I have found no females. The workers are very sluggish, hardly moving when the nest is disturbed; so that they may be picked out one by one with the forceps. The males are more active. The cavities in which these ants are found are always blade inside as if with some fungoid growth. Occasionally these ants make nests at the roots of grass, &amp; c.</p><p>(24 a).

The paper in which the tubes were wrapped was also full of ants, including numerous males and females. The colony must have consisted of at least five thousand ants. The number of wingless females was remarkable, the proportion to workers found in the nest being, I should suppose, one to ten or twelve; but a portion of the workers may have been out foraging.

[[worker]] [[queen]] [[male]]. Espece cosmopolite des tropiques.</p><p>(48). Common, especially in open places below 1500 ft. The communities are large, often ten or twelve thousand individuals, I should think. The formicary proper is commonly excavated under sod or loose soil, advantage being often taken of the shelter afforded by a large stone, or by vines, a bush, &amp; c; it is never far below the surface. In the centre is a large irregular chamber, or several small ones connected by very short passages; this central portion may occupy a space six inches square. From it a network of tunnels extends in all directions, but always near the surface; connected with these there may be other small chambers for larvae, food, &amp; c. The longer tunnels may extend for many yards, commonly ending under stones, where other chambers are constructed; and to these distant parts of the formicarium the larvae are often carried. No matter how large the community is, there appears to be but one gravid female, though several winged females may be found. These ants are very pugnacious, especially when their central nest is disturbed. The sting is unpleasant, but not very painful. The largest-headed workers are. few in number, and keep to the inner passages of the formicarium. The other workers are frequently found about houses, on foliage, flowers, &amp; c, and prowling over the ground in open places. They seem to live principally, if not entirely, on vegetable matter; they are especially fond of sweet substances. I have found considerable quantities of grass-seeds stored in small chambers in their nests. In their movements the smallheaded workers are moderately active; the large-headed ones move slowly, and in a staggering way. The females are sluggish.</p><p>(48 a).

The ants were found in a long passage (at least three feet) under a log on the sand by the stream; this was evidently not the main formicarium, as I could find no larvae nor sexually developed ants, and the place is covered during floods.

Commonly it is under a stone or log on dry and more or less open ground; immediately beneath the stone is a branching chamber. From this passages, 1 / 3 - 1 / 2 in. broad, extend down irregularly several inches, with small chambers (1 - 1 1 / 2 in. long and an inch wide), in which larvas and sometimes females are found. The passages and chambers are smoothly worked. The workers major are sluggish, and keep to the inner chambers; the workers minor are quite active, and may often be found in the daytime prowling about bushes. These ants are not pugnacious, even when the nest is disturbed. The workers major are much less numerous than the workers minor, perhaps one-fifth of the whole colony. Occasionally the nest is made in rotten wood, or under rubbish.</p><p>(22 a). Near Barronallie (leeward), September, 500 ft. Open place, under chips, &amp; c. Formicarium not noted.</p><p>(22 b).

A common species, generally second growth; open places or forest. Forms large communities (of several thousand sometimes), the workers major constituting from one-fourth to one-third of the whole. The formicarium is found in rotten wood, under sod, or sometimes under stones or sticks. It consists generally of several smoothly-worked passages, which may be eight to twelve inches long,. and forming an irregular network; at the junctions of the passages are small chambers, and of these there may be twenty in a single nest. The ants also make arched galleries on the outside of the log containing the formicarium, or, if it is under sod, in cavities that are too large for their purposes; these galleries resemble those made by termites, and it is possible that the ants simply utilise the old • termite-galleries. Each community, however large, seems to have but one. gravid female, and, as she keeps to an inner chamber, it is often difficult to find her. The workers major also keep to the inner passages and chambers. They, as well as the female, are very sluggish; the workers minor much less so. I have not found the workers on foliage. Apparently the species is nocturnal; it ranges to 3000 ft.</p><p>N.

Small holes 1 / 16 in.) lead perpendicularly into the log, sometimes two or three inches, to many chambers, each about one inch long; in these are the larvae and workers major. Only one female was found after long search. Perhaps the ants utilise the borings of beetles for their passages into the wood. The logs were only partly decayed, and rather hard. " (36 d).
