Formica umbrata, Nyland HNS . Addit. Adno. Mon. Form. Boreal. Europ. 1048, [[ male ]], [[ queen ]], [[? ]].
Hab. - Hampstead.
Female (length 3 lines) of a brown testaceous red; the legs and antennas are pale testaceous, as are also the mandibles and apex of the metathorax; the scale is small, and not notched; the head and disk of the thorax very smooth and shining; the wings ample, and deeply smoky towards their base; the nervures and stigma are pale testaceous; the head is of the same width as the thorax, the eyes pubescent.
This species closely resembles F. flava HNS , but the thorax is more elongate and narrower, the legs are stouter, and the eyes are pubescent; the female only has hitherto been captured in England.
