Eciton rufipes, Jerdon , Madr. Journ. Lit. & Sc. (1851) 112 [[worker]]; Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 2nd ser. xiii. 53. Hab. India (Salem district). Mr. T. C. Jerdon describes four species which appear to belong to this genus; that they do not belong to Eciton is readily ascertained from the fact of their having very large eyes, which is the character of the present genus, the genus Eciton being remarkable for possessing the smallest eyes in the whole family of the Formicidae.
