The thorax obliquely truncated behind, the truncation smooth and slightly shining; the truncation of the abdominal node smooth and shining, its margin denticulated; the abdomen coarsely grooved longitudinally.

a short neck, slightly swollen posteriorly; the division between the meso- and meta-thorax deeply impressed; the metathorax with two short acute upright spines. Abdomen ovate, pedunculate, the peduncle formed of two nodes, the first smaller and less elevated than the second, each having a short footstalk. Hab. Singapore. Borneo. Notwithstanding the remarkable form of this species, its long slender antenn and legs, the prolongation of the prothorax into a neck, c., all of which appear to warrant

inflated into a yellowish semi-transparent bladder-like swelling, divided in the middle by a deep longitudinal depression; the swollen part not quite so wide as the head; the apical joints of the tarsi rufo-testaceous. Abdomen heart-shaped; the peduncle, base, and the apical margin of the first segment, obscurely rufo-piceous. Hab. Singapore; Borneo (Sarawak). This is one of those singular and anomalous species, which, without any particle of information, derived from observation, puzzle and

the legs stout, with their joints and the tarsi ferruginous. Abdomen heart-shaped, with the base, in some examples, slightly ferruginous. Worker minor. Differs only in being one-third smaller. Hab. Singapore; Borneo (Sarawak). This species resembles the C. inflatus in form; but the swollen portion of the thorax is of a solid consistency; it forms, however, a similar laboratory of saccharine matter; the orifice from which it exudes is not exactly at the posterior angles, but a little way
