I captured specimens of this ant in Kew Gardens as long ago as 

 1896 ; it has occurred in the fern, palm, and lily houses, but the 

 former house is evidently its head-quarters, and there I found a 

 male, on December 5th, 1910 6 . I sent Professor Forel a sketch of the 

 genitalia of this specimen, and he tells me P. donisthorpei is prob- 

 ably a good species.

Bingham records this species on a young dead sparrow near the 

 Herbarium, Kew Gardens 6 . Bingham was probably in error, as he 

 calls it a " common British species," and D. brunnea is not known 

 to occur in Britain.
