I liave not seen any winged forms of Fulakora Mann; 
this genus or subgenus cannot at present be separated 
from Stigmatomma, since the prime character, approxi- 
mation of the frontal carinse, is intermediate through to 
S. williamsi Wheeler (Philippines) in at least two Aus- 
tralian forms of Fulakora described by Clark ( punctu - 
lata, gracilis) . Williamsi and silvestrii Wheeler (Japan) 
form a very close series connecting forms like punctulata 
with those like denticulata Mayr and other “typical” 
Stigmatomma. In the absence of evidence to the con- 
trary, I propose that the name Fulakora Mann be con- 
sidered a synonym of Amblyopone ( Stigmatomma ). 
Two synonyms were unwittingly created by Wheeler 
(see synonymy below) when he stated that he thought the 
use of Clark’s names, proposed in lit. at an earlier date, 
to be “ inadvisable. ’ ’ Both names were put in print, with 
genotypes stated. According to present practice as em- 
ployed by many systematists, these names are available 
and in force, a fact pointed out to me by my friend, Mr. 
Floyd G. Werner. It appears best to list them formally 
as synonyms. The arrangement below shows my conclu- 
sions as to the relationships of the names discussed 
above. For fuller synonymy, references can be found 
in Emery’s section on the Amblyoponini in the Genera 
Insectornm.

As far as I can see, there is only one valid snbgenns in 
addition to Amblyopone (s. str.) :
