Donisthorpe — Strumigenys and Cephaloxys 81 
somewhat flat, angle between dorsal surface and declivity 
abrupt, declivity longer than dorsal surface, somewhat 
concave. Petiole pedunculate, upper side of node trans- 
verse, flat, anterior border and angles rounded, sides and 
posterior border almost straight; post-petiole convex, 
broader than node of petiole, broadest before apex, sides 
rounded, upper surface somewhat convex, and very finely 
longitudinally striate at base ; gaster long oval, pointed 
at apex, a row of short longitudinal striae are present 
at base of first segment which is considerably longer than 
the rest of the gaster. A white spongiform substance 
is present beneath the petiole and post-petiole, and at 
the junction of the same, and with the gaster. The 
whole body appears to have been clothed with short 
narrow scale-like hairs and scattered outstanding spine- 
like hairs, but many of the former, and most of the latter 
have apparently been rubbed off. Legs moderate. Long. 
3 mm. Described from a single dealated female, the 
type of F. Smith’s Cephaloxys capitata from New 
Guinea. 
F. Smith’s original description .may be found in the 
Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. Zool., 1864, vol. 8, p. 77, pi. 4, fig. 
5. In the larger figure of the head, the antennae are 
drawn with only five joints ! 
My best thanks are due to Professor G. D. Hale Car- 
penter for kindly lending me the type to redescribe.
