A NEW NAME FOR LITHOMYRMEX CARP.
(HYMENOPTERA)
In my revision of the fossil ants (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 70 (1) : p. 36), which was published in January, 1930, I es- tablished the myrmicine genus Lithomyrmex for two species, rugosus and striatus, from the Miocene shales of Florissant, Colorado. Unfortunately, the same generic name was used by Dr. J. Clark a few months earlier for a recent species of ant, glauerti, from West Australia (Journ. Roy. Soc. W. Australia, 14: p. 36, 1929). I therefore propose the new name Eulithomyrmex for Lithomyrmex Carp. (nee Litho- myrmex Clark, 1929), to include the two extinct species from the Florissant shales-F. M. Carpenter.
