A MYRMECOPHILOUS WOODLOUSE

Abstract

IN the spring of 1938 Prof. G. E. Hutchinson found a small white blind myrmecophilous sowbug in North Branford, Connecticut. The species was afterwards found in ants' nests in a small tract of country several miles in area round about the original locality, and within the Mt. Carmel region of Hamden, Conn., some nine miles from North Branford.
