Forniicidne. — A new species and variety. 



By W. C. CRAWLEY, B.A., F.E,S., F.R.M.S. 



Anochetna evansi, sp. nov. § L., 5-2mni. (with mandibles.) 

 Entirely castaneous. Pilosity as in tjhiliani, Spin., from which it 

 difiers in its small size, shorter body, and in having the posterior part 

 of the corselet smooth and shining. 



All joints of funiculus except the three apical ones, considerably 

 shorter than in i/hiliani, the second in particular being hardly longer 

 than broad. Thorax rather shorter proportionately than in ijldliani, 

 and the incision between the mesonotum and epinotum is hardly 

 marked. The scale is lower and thicker, especially at the top, where 

 it is more rounded. 



Head similarly sculptured to that of <ihiliani, but the scattered 

 punctures on the back half are much more numerous and distinct, and 

 larger. Thorax and epinotum almost entirely smooth and shining, 

 with only a few small points on the base of the epinotum, and a few 

 fine transverse stri;^ on the declivity. Otherwise like [/hiliani. 



1 ^ , Sar-i-Pal, Persia, 1919. (Evans, no. 46.) Recorded in Knt. 

 lu'c, 32, 163 (1920), as A. (/hiliani, Spin., though at the tim6 

 I considered it a variety. Emery, however, is of opinion that it is a 

 distinct species. 



Type presented by Mr. Evans to the British Museum. 



Creiiiatoi/astey aubeiti,'E,m., \av. sorokini, Ruzsky., ^ N.E. Baghdad, 

 1918 (Evans). Recorded in Knt. Bee, I.e., as C. sci(tella>in f var. 

 Emery has now identified it with Ruzsky's variety, which I have not 

 seen. 



Lejitothora.v scnlptiventiis, Mayr., var. distincta, var. nov. ^ L., 

 a little over 5-Omm. (type 4-Omm.). Differs only in the colours, 

 which are more sharply defined. Thorax and petiole pale yellow ; 

 head, mandibles and basal third of gaster slightly deeper in colour. 

 Funiculus and apical third of scape dark chocolate- brown ; tip of apical 

 segment of funiculus and remainder of scape yellow- brown. Apical 

 joints of tarsus, the basal fifth of femur, the apex of coxa, and apical 

 half of tibia pale yellow ; the remainder and apical two-thirds of gaster 

 dark chocolate- brown.
