claviger

The genera Pselaphus and Claviger, akin to the above, contain little insects which live as parasites in the nests of ants.

The renowned Hercules always carried a quarterstaff, and was from thence called Claviger.

All the species of Claviger are confined to Europe, chiefly to the south, but one species, Cl.

The art of domesticating the Claviger is a stage of civilisation reached by some tribes and not by others.

The Claviger testaceus is a small beetle, often met in the dwellings of ants.
