The male of Cheiracanthium mildei is easily separated 
from that of C. inclusum by several characters. The tibia of 
the palpus of mildei has two short processes at the tip, 
while inclusum has one long process which interlocks with 
a similar process from the cymbium; mildei has on the 
fourth metatarsus a ventral row of short black spines that 
are very conspicuous; and on the second femur the pro- 
lateral spine from a raised base is much smaller than on 
inclusum. The females can be separated by the epigyna. 
In mildei the area is divided by a dark transverse bar, 
while in inclusum, the epigynum is an oval transverse pit 
which shows no structure.

New Synonymy In The Army Ant Genus Aenictus 
Schuckard. — Aenictus deuqueti Crawley (1923, Ent. Rec., 
35:111, worker) is a new synonym of Aenictus turneri For- 
el (1900, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., JJ:75, worker). I compared 
types of Forel’s and Crawley’s species in the British Muse- 
um. Crawley’s distinctions are inconsequential or else, as 
in the case of the color, inaccurately described. — W. L.
