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 barbatzts, is of course not at all closely re- lated to C. fomsensis or any other member of the C. herczdeanus group-W. L.
