9. Eciton pachycerus View in CoL HNS . B.M.
Worker. Length 2 lines.-Chestnut-red: smooth and shining. Antennae short and very stout, shorter than the thorax. Thorax anteriorly shining, the metathorax opake 5 the nodes of the peduncle incrassate, subglobose; the femora very slender at the base, and incrassate towards their apex; entirely destitute of pubescence.
Hab. South America? (Coll. Gen. Hardwick.)
This species is the only one of the genus which is apparently quite destitute of eyes; in E. legionis HNS and E. pilosa HNS they are extremely minute, but we have failed, even with the aid of a powerful microscope, in our endeavours to discover them in this species.
