Abstract: Abstract The identity and origin of the West Indian plague ants of the early sixteenth and late eighteenth centuries have long been a mystery1. By reviewing historic accounts with an analysis of the present-day Caribbean ant fauna, I have narrowed the list of suspects to two species and their insect symbionts.
