In both the continental and oceanic fauna, there is a marked want of 
genera, usually of wide distribution, e.g., Formica and Myrmica. There 
are also no representatives of Gnamptogenys, Eciton, A tta, Pogonomyrmex, 
Cryptocerus, Echinopla, Typlilopone, Myrmicaria, or Cataulacus. The 
continental fauna is marked by many very characteristic forms, especially 
as to the thoracic structure of the workers ; but the present work can only 
be considered as materials for a knowledge of the Ants of Australia,
