Correction to the Synonymy of the Ant Campono- 
tus FORMOSENSIS Wheeler. — In a joint paper (Yasumatsu 
and Brown, 1951, Jour. Fac. Agr., Univ. Kyushu, 10, cf. 
p. 42), the synonymy of Camponotus formosensis is cited 
incorrectly. Due to an unfortunate clerical error, the 
name Camponotus maculatus taylori var. formosae Wheeler 
and the variant nomenclatorial equivalents C. barbatus 
albosparsa var. formosae, Emery and C. barbatus taylori 
var. formosae, Teranishi were wrongly included in this 
formal list of synonyms and must now be removed. The 
variety formosae, whatever may be its relationship to 
maculatus or barbatus, is of course not at all closely re- 
lated to C. formosensis or any other member of the C. 
herculeanus group. — W. L. Brown, Jr., Museum of Com-
