The Guests of British Ants:Their Habits & Life Histories

Published in the the same year as the revision of British Ants: their life histories and classification took place(also by Donishorpe).

This book deals with myrmecophiles of British ants, some of them ants themselves (e.g. Formicoxenus and Anergates). It also mentions and debunks theories regarding the effect that the presence of a species of beetle (of the genus Atemeles) has on the number of pseudogynes in colonies of the larger formica (ant) species.

Previously part of Dr.H.L.G.Stroyans, the renowned entomologists own book collection and signed by Stroyans on front blank endpaper.
