35. Formica longipes HNS , N. S.
Worker, length l- 5 th of an inch; in form exceedingly simi-lar to the last; head more oblong than triangular; eyes mora posterior; antennae very long; abdominal pedicle shorter, pro-portionally; abdomen a longer oval; legs very long of a pale rufous colour throughout, tinged with dusky on the abdomen.
This Ant is found in all the forests of India living in holes in. the ground, in tolerable numerous societies, and feeding on vegetable secretions. I have not seen it at any distance from the jungles. At Tellicherry for example, I have never seen it, but as soon as you go a little inland and get into the jungle you meet with it. It is often found about bungalows and out-houses.
