Odontomachus Ghilianii , Spin. Mem. Accad. Torino,xiii.71 (1853).

Hab. Brazil (Para).

This is probably a species of Formica , notwithstanding its general resemblance to a species of Odontomachus ; the abdomen and scale of the peduncle are described as being the same as in Formica ; and no mention being made of the sting, which in Odontomachus is always more or less exserted, renders it highly probable that this is only one of the more remarkable and slender forms of a species of true Formica .
