it would be associated in the table, but the female only being- 

 known it has not been included. 



A. cylindricornis, Lea ( --CYLiNDRicoRNis, Raffr.). 



A. deyrollei, Sharp. Belongs to AA of the table, but 

 the particulars given by Sharp are not sufficient to carry it 

 beyond BB ; it should, however, be very distinct by the 

 absence of abdominal fascicles. 



A. duboulayi, Waterh. Evidently belongs to AA, but 

 the metasternum not being mentioned, cannot be carried 

 beyond DD ; I have seen nothing approaching the original 

 figure. 



A. falcatus, Raffr. Allied to curvicornis, the descrip- 

 tion being little more than a comparison with that species; 

 in the table it cannot be carried beyond BB. 



A. foveicollis, Raffr. The metasternum and under- 

 surface of the abdomen were not described, but the figure 

 given by Raffray is strikingly different from that of any other 

 species known to me ; in the table it cannot be carried 

 beyond ee. 



A. kingius, Sharp. This name is probably synonymous 

 with cultripes, over which it has precedence. 



A. odewahni, Pasc. ( = fortnumi, Hope). 



A. selysi, Schauf. Evidently belongs to A A, but no 

 particulars of the under-surface and legs were given, and 

 the type was a female. 



A. setipes, Westw. The type appears to be a male; in 

 some respects it appears to approach dentipes, but differs 

 somewhat in the antennae and legs ; as the metasternum was 

 not mentioned it cannot be placed in the table beyond DD. 



A. sharpi, Masters ( = tumidus, Westw.). 



A. spinifer, Sharp. Evidently belongs to A of the 

 table, and the male should be very distinct by its antennae, 

 legs, and under-surface. 



A. tumidus, Sharp (=tumidus, Westw.). 



A. westwoodi, Sharp. Very close to if not synonymous 

 with curvicornis ; the latter was originally described from 

 Victoria, but occurs also in New South Wales, Tasmania, and 

 South Australia. 



Articerus deyrollei, Sharp. 



A female from North-western Australia (Fortescue 

 River, taken by Mr. W. D. Dodd from a nest of Irido- 

 myrmex) possibly belongs to deyrollei (described as from 

 "Australia"). In general appearance it is like an elongated 

 specimen of curvicornis, and the clothing of the upper-surface 

 is somewhat similar, but the head is longer, antennae more
