Tmesi pilar U)i machayii, King. 



One of the types originally recorded as '' being found under 

 bark, in company with . . . some small ants." 



Palimholus, sp. 



A single female of this genius was taken in the Illaw arra 

 district by Mr. Cox from a nest of Iridomyrmer rafoniyer ; 

 but as it has no very distinctive features (such as are always 

 present in males of the genus) it is best left undescribed at 

 present. No species of the genus has hitherto been recorded as 

 occurring in ants nests.

 Taken by Mr. Cox from a nest of Ectatnmma metallicin/i. 



Tyromorplms kuuier'alis, Westw.

 as eighth, tenth shorter and slightly narrower than ninth,
