Formica cunicularia (Latreille) is a mining ant of the Formica fusca group. Pierre André Latreille ( November 20, 1762 - February 6, 1833) was a French entomologist. Pierre André Latreille ( November 20, 1762 - February 6, 1833) was a French entomologist. Ants are social Insects of the family Formicidae and along with the related families of Wasps and Bees belong to the order Forelian systematics places it in the subgenus Serviformica. Auguste-Henri Forel ( September 1, 1848 – July 27, 1931) was a Swiss Myrmecologist, Neuroanatomist and In Biology, a subgenus is a Taxonomic rank directly below Genus. Locally common in southern England, its appearance and habits ally it, to some extent, with Formica rufibarbis, although the former's red markings are far less conspicuous. England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland Formica rufibarbis is a European formicine Ant of the ''Formica fusca'' group. Horace Donisthorpe comments:
- Forel points out that [Formica fusca var. Horace St John Kelly Donisthorpe ( March 17, 1870 – April 22, 1951) was an eccentric British Myrmecologist and Auguste-Henri Forel ( September 1, 1848 – July 27, 1931) was a Swiss Myrmecologist, Neuroanatomist and ] rubescens [=F. cunicularia] has frequently been confounded with rufibarbis, and it is probable that some British records of [. . . ] rufibarbis really refer to this variety.
F. cunicularia, unlike most other Formica fusca-group species, can form noticeable hillocks over its nests, and in addition to these produces rufibarbis-like runs in the vicinity of its nest. Formica is a Genus of Ants It is the type genus of the family Formicidae and the subfamily Formicinae and in turn Formica' s own Donisthorpe states that:
- In the New Forest it occurs in earth-mounds, at Seaton under stones, in the Landslip, Isle of Wight, in the side of the cliff, and at Fairlight I found it in the side of the cliff and in earth-mounds in the undercliff - one of the nests being traced by tracking a worker which was carrying home a fly in its jaws. The New Forest is an area of southern England which includes the largest remaining tracts of unenclosed pasture land heathland and Forest in the heavily-populated Seaton is a seaside town in East Devon on the south coast of England. A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement such as rock falls deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows which can occur The Isle of Wight is an English Island and county in the English Channel between three and five miles (8 km from the south coast of the Fairlight is a village in East Sussex, England within Rother district three miles (5 km to the east of Hastings.
Donisthorpe records the species as having occurred as far north as Bewdley in Worcestershire. Bewdley ( pronunciation) is a small Town in Worcestershire, England, along the Severn Valley a few miles to the west of Worcestershire (ˈwʊstəʃə abbreviated Worcs) is a county located in the West Midlands region of central England.
