40. Formica rufoglauca HNS , N. S.
Worker, 7 - 24 th inch long, head long, oblong; eyes large, pos-terior; jaws strongly toothed; thorax not grooved; abdominal pedicle raised, conic, wide above; abdomen fine silky glaucous green; head, thorax and legs bright rufous.
Warrior, 9 - 24 th inch long, head large; eyes much smaller; antennae shorter; abdominal pedicle flattened posteriorly; abdomen snort and triangular; colour similar.
I have found this Ant only in the Carnatic in small societies living in holes in the ground.
It is possible that this' may turn out to be Fabricius species cinerascens HNS .
