42. Formica assimilis   HNS , N. S.

Worker, exceedingly similar to the last.

Length, 3 - 24 th of an inch, differs in its colour chiefly being of a shining reddish black, in its eyes being apparently large, the thorax narrower, and in being covered all over with scattered white hairs.

I have found it frequenting flowers in Malabar, but not abundant.
