Forel, A., 1886:
— M " Mary Treat a observe cette amazone americaine a. Vineland (New Jersey). Elle m'a envoye les [[ worker ]], [[ queen ]] et [[ male ]] que j'ai aussi recus des Alleghenuies, de M. Mac Cook. D'apres les observations de ces naturalistes, le P. lucidus ne prend comme esclaves que la Formica Schaufussii Mayr qu'il m'ont envoyee en meme temps. C'est ce qu'avait deja suppose Mayr (Neue Formiciden,. 1870, p. 953). Le P. lucidus est si voisin du P. rufescens que je ne puis en faire qu'une race. L'eclat n'est point une ditference constante, car il varie beaucoup chez le P. rufescens qui est parfois presque aussi luisant que le P. lucidus .
