remainder of the body ; legs with abundant, short appressed 

 hairs; those on the scapes similar, but even shorter. Man- 

 dibles deep-red ; head, thorax, and petiole bright yellowish- 

 red ; gaster black ; anus, transverse bands on the venter, the 

 legs, and antennae yellow. Wings distinctly yellowish, with 

 pale-brown veins and apterostigma. 



A single specimen, taken between Todmorden and Wanta- 

 pella. This may be the hitherto unknown female of J/. 

 wheeleri, Forel, originally described from Tennant Creek, 

 Central Australia. 



20. Camponotus (Myrmoturba) maculatus, Fabr., subsp. 



NOVAE-HOLLANDIAE, Mayr. 



Numerous workers from Flat Rock Hole in the Musgrave 

 Ranges. These are a little more hairy and somewhat larger 

 than specimens from New South Wales, but hardly represent 

 a distinct variety. 



21. Camponotus (Myrmoturba) maculatus, Fabr., subsp. 



DiscoRS, Forel. 



One major and three minor workers from Flat Rock Hole 

 in the Musgrave Ranges agree very closely with Forel' s descrip- 

 tion of specimens from Pera Bore, New South Wales. The 

 thorax of the major is much like that of the var. laetus, Forel, 

 from Tennant Creek, Central Australia, but the colour is that 

 of the typical form of the species. 



22. Camponotus (Myrmoturba) latrunculus, n. sp. 

 PL Ixvi., figs. 3 and 4. 



Worker major. — Length, about 9 mm. 



Head large, not longer than broad, broader behind than 

 in front, very convex above, with the posterior border nearly 

 straight and the sides convex. Eyes rather large and convex. 

 Mandibles convex, 6-toothed. Clypeus feebly, but distinctly, 

 carinate, its anterior border projecting as a short, rather nar- 

 row lobe, with straight median border and the sides rather 

 broadly emarginate. Frontal area distinct, transverse, 

 diamond-shaped ; frontal groove distinct, frontal carinae 

 moderately far apart, curved and diverging behind. Antennae 

 rather slender, scapes extending about one-fifth their length 

 beyond the posterior border of the head. Thorax robust, with 

 distinct promesonotal and mesoepinotal sutures, pronotum as 

 broad as long, convex, rounded above ; mesonotum also con- 

 vex, continuing the curve of the pronotum. There is a 

 distinct but slight constriction of the thorax at the mesoepi- 

 notal suture, behind which the rather narrowed and only
