M^Lachlan, in his revision of the species of this family included 
in Walker’s Catalogue (Journ. Linn. »Soc. ix. Zool.j 3 p. 273-281), 
first of all discusses the generic divisions proposed in it by Hagen 
(see Record/ 1866, p. 515), and expresses his opinion that 
eventually many of these will require subdivision. He estimates 
the probable number of species at 500. The following synony- 
mic indications are given with regard to the species enumerated 
by Walker:— 
Myrmehon gigaSy contrariusy inclemens,patiensy ItbelluloideSy speciosusy injimmy

bably tigris (Dalni.); M. suhducens=P. cephalotes (King); M. par dalmus is dis- 
tinct from pardalinus (Bunn.), and receives the name of Palpares ? brachy- 
pterus (/. c. p. 275); M. occitanicus belongs to Acanthaclisis ; M. distinctm not 
distinetus (Ramb.), according to Hagen ; M. edax—gulo (Burm.), according
