Aus Nordamerika, von Herrn Schaufuss in meiner Sammlung.

Diese Art hat beim ersten oberflaechlichen Anblick von oben eine grosse Aehnlichkeit mit einem kleinen, nicht gut ausgefaerbten Arbeiter von Camponotus ligniperdus, doch ist man, hei genauerer Betrachtung, selbst ohne Loupe, leicht zu erkennen im Stande, dass man es mit keinem Camponotus , sondern mit einer echten Formica zu thun hat, welche im Habitus von allen anderen Arten nicht unbedeutend abweicht.
