They have a wide geographical distribution, occur- ring from Texas through Mexico, Cen- tral America and Bra- zil to Bolivia and Para- guay. O. haematodes is also recorded from Georgia, Florida, and the In the vicinity of Austin, P. harp ax and L. elongata are found under 1 Specimens of the last species were kindly identified for me by Mr. Pergande as Lobopelta elongata Buck. ? The query seems to be due to Buckley's wretched description of his Ponera elongata. Since Lobopelta is treated as a subgenus of Leptogenys by Forel, and since the species is very common in Texas, and there- fore, in all probability, the one described by Buckley, I have changed the generic name and omitted the query. Should doubts arise, my figures (Fig. 4) will, I trust, enable any future observer to recognize the species. 2 See Emery, " Beitrage zur Kenntniss der nordamerikanischen Ameisenfauna," Zool.
