8. Leptogenys pubiceps, Emery View in CoL   HNS .

(No. 42 a a 42 b). [[ worker ]] [[ queen ]]. Les exemplaires de St. Vincent ont la tete un peu plus ponctuee et le 2 me article du funicule un peu plus court que ceux de Venezuela, m'ecrit M. Emery,

[[ male ]]. L. 5 a 5, 5 mill. Se distingue de la L. arcuata   HNS par son n oe ud dont le bord posterieur superieur est distinctement avance en arriere en angle obtus, et qui est fortement rugueux sur les cotes, par sa taille plus grande at par ses ailes mediocrement teintees de brun.

(42). A rare species, forming small communities, or found largely under stones or sod, or under bark. Rather sluggish, and not very pugnacious. I have found only one form (workers?).

(42 a). Southern end of the island; Villa Estate. Oct. 14 fch. Seaside thickets. Formicarium, under a block of coral and in its crevices. I could find only workers, and apparently there were about twenty, with as many pupas, in the community.

(42 b). Nov. 19 th. Camden Park Estate, north of Kingstown; leeward side; seashore woods, under bark of a palm-log lying on the ground. The community consisted of about forty individuals. I thought I saw one female (winged), which escaped.
