A 17-day trip was made through the States of S\ão Paulo, Mato Grosso, Rond\ônia Territory, Goi\ás, and Minas Gerais, Brazil, to study the Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) complex. Special emphasis was on the distribution and ecology of Solenopsis invicta Buren. S. invicta was established in an area bordered by C\áceres, Rondon\ópolis, Chapada, and Terenos in the State of Mato Grosso, and was also found at P\ôrto Velho, Rond\ônia Territory. Active colonies were present only in moist or protected areas. This study reconfirmed a previous postulation that areas of Mato Grosso were a part of the homeland of S. invicta, the \&$\#$39;\&$\#$39;red imported fire ant\&$\#$39;\&$\#$39; of southeastern United States.

The behavior, both in the field and in observation nests, of three species of Cardiocondyla are described: C. emeryana and C. nuda were studied in Texas and C. ectopia in California. Observations include data on length of immature stages, foraging habits, foods utilized, reactions with other ant species and mating behavior. The data are summarized and compared against observations made by E.O. Wilson on C. venustula and C. emeryi.
