Abstract

The occasion for this study arose when I discovered on August 7 a small colony of Aphaenogaster fulva aquia Emery1 entrenched under a moist board in my yard. On closer examination a number of minute beetles were seen running about with the ants in the confusion of the opened nest. On one of the brood piles a number of the beetles were found clustered. Consequently a part of the nest was removed for laboratory observation.
