Sp. 9. Pseudomyrma pallida .

Worker.-Length 2 lines. Pale testaceous yellow, smooth, shining and impunctate; the eyes and tips of the mandibles black; the thorax compressed at the sides, and somewhat narrowed posteriorly; the petiole of the first node of the abdomen pear-shaped, flattened above, and margined at the sides, the second node globular: the abdomen of a paler colour than the head, which is of a reddish yellow.

This species was found by my friend, the late Edward Doubleday, in East Florida, a locality in which lie captured many rare and beautiful Hymenoptera; to this order he was greatly attached, and on the habit of many species he imparted much valuable information.
