| Abstract: | Recent attention to certain ants of the Asiatic fauna has directed particular intcrest toward the genus Oecophylla, specifically, to Oecophylla smaragdina (Fabricius). In reviewing available papers on the species, and in our investiga- tions of collected material, certain features have seemed noteworthy. Also, we were made aware of the scarcity and remoteness of literature concerned with this most interesting genus. For these reasons, in presenting recent observa- tions, a general report on the genus is included, although particular referenco is devoted to Oecophylla smaragdina. |
