136 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



mentioned {Cat. Fab. Lep., p. 162), and also by Newman in 1870 

 (Brit. Butts., p. 117) for bocticus. Scudder next appears, and he acts 

 definitely {loc. cit., p. 201) as first reviser, citing aelianiis as the type, 

 this therefore must be accepted. Tutt apparently overlooked this in 

 his work. Scudder, however, was in error in saying that " it cannot 

 be employed for boeticiiH, as this became, in 1810, the type of Polyoni- 

 tiiatiis.'" It had escaped his attention that the type of Poli/oiiniiatiis 

 had been settled by Latreille himself in 1804 as anjus^icanis, so that 

 hoeticidi was really quite free. 



Lninpides, as used in Staudinger's Catalog/, is wholly heterotypical. 

 Boeticus is the only species named that can belong to the genus. I am 

 a little doubtful whether this species is congeneric with aelianus, the 

 blasenschuppen being entirely diverse in boeticus from the whole of the 

 aelianus group ; but it may well be left in Lainpides for the present. 



Syntarucu.'i, Butler.— The genus was raised solely for teliranus, 

 Lang {P.Z.S., 1900, p. 929). The male armature is quite difi'erent 

 from its near allies, and the species must be accepted as the type. 

 Tutt created the genus Lantjia for this species, which he afterwards 

 altered to Rayu-ardia, Lanyia being pre-occupied. Both, however, fall 

 to Butler's genus. 



Tarucu!^, Moore.— In his Lep. Ceylon, vol. I., 81 (1881) the author 

 created this genus and cited theophiastus, Fab., as the type. Balkanica 

 likewise belongs to it. 



Azanns, Moore. — Created in the same publication as the previous 

 genus (p. 79) with ubaldus, Cramer, as the type. We have three 

 species to cite as belonging to it, viz., jesous, Guer., eleusis, Demaison, 

 and ubaldus; thebana, Stgr., is a synonym of this last. 



Cyclyriiis, Butler. — Butler raised this genus [P.Z.S., 1896, p. 830) 

 and named u-ebbianus as the type. 



Chilades, Moore. — Moore {loc. cit., p. 76) created this with the type 

 laius, Cramer. I have shewn {Trans. Ent. Soc, 1913, p. 201) that 

 f^alba, Ld., and phiala, Gr.-Gr., are best placed under this genus. We 

 thus have therein, yalba, phiala, and trochylus.

Three Myrmecological Notes. 



By HORACE DONISTHO^E, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 



I. A Gynandromorph of Monomorium floricola, Jerd. 



Head black, thorax aiid paster shining hlacli-hroum, legs pale yelloiv, except the 

 greater portion of the femora, which is brown. Petiole and post-petiole light hroivn. 

 Antennae dirty yellow, ivith apex and base a little darker. 



Head s , striate and rugose ; eyes and ocelli large; lett antenna <r , 13-jointed, 

 scape short, not as long as the first three joints of funiculus ; funicrdus with apical 

 joints a little broader, but not forming a club ; right avtenna ? , 1'2-jointed, scape 

 long (twisted in this specimen), first joint of funiculus long, the following joints 

 between the first and the club, short and transverse; club three-jointed, as long as 

 the rest of the funiculus, its last joint as long as the preceding two together. 

 Thorax ? in shape, narrow, with mesonotum long, the left side exhibits the 

 fissures where the wings were attached, the right side intact. (It must be remem- 

 bered that in this species the females are always ergatoid, being without wings, 

 the left side is therefore <? in this particular.) Pedicel, gaster, and legs ? . 



Long, 3mm.
