ANTS OF NANTUCKET ISLAND, MASS.
BY WILLIAM MORTON WHEELER,
Bussey Institution, Harvard University.
After making an intensive study of the insect fauna of Nan- tucket Island, Mr. C. W. Johnson has turned over to me for identification all the ants which he was able to collect. There are seventeen different forms, all of which, with the exception of Monomorium minimum, are common on the New England main- land. The absence of certain conspicuous species, especially of the genera Aphsenogaster and Prenolepis, is worthy of note. 1, Ponera coarctata Latr. subsp. pennsylvanica Emery. A single male.
2. Myrmica brevinodis Emery var. canadensis Wheeler. Workers, females and males.
3. Myrmica scabrinodis Nly. var. sabuleti Emery- Workers, females and males.
4. Monomorium minimum Buck1ey.-A single winged female. This is a southern species which has entered New England along the coast. It has been taken near New Haven, Conn., at Providence, R. I. and at Woods Hole, Mass. The only inland record is Wellesley, Mass. (A. P. Morse). 5. Crematogaster (Acrocoelia) lineolata Say.-Workers, fe- males and males.
6.
Tapinoma sessile Say.-Workers and a dealated female. 7.
Dolichoderus (Hypoclinea) plagiatus Mayr var. inorna- tus Wheeler.-A worker and a winged female. 8.
Lasius niger L. subsp. alienus Forst. var. americanus Emery.-Workers and females.
9. Lasius (Chthonolasius) brevicornis Emery-Workers, females and males.
10.
Formica truncicola Nyl. subsp. obscuriventris Mayr. var. gymnomma Wheeler.-Single worker, female and male specimens. 11. Formica diffwilis Emery var. consocians Wheeler.- Workers. This ant is a temporary social parasite of F. schaufussi var. incerta.
