110 Psyche [September
but since he arbitrarily assigned all Palaeozoic insects to that order, his system of classification is without phylo- genetic significance. Handlirsch, who, of course, had no real knowledge of the species, placed it in incertae sedk under the Palaeodictyoptera. I have removed the species from that order for two reasons: 1) the superimposed wings strongly indicate that the insect was neopterous; and 2) there is no convex anterior media, the division of the media being remote from the origin of M. The insect therefore seems most probably protorthopterous, though its family affiliation is not clear because of the poor preser- vation of the wing. I have provisionally placed it in the family Palaeocixiidae, since it shows some resemblance to Palaeocixius.
ADLERZIA FROGGATTI FOREL AND SOME NEW SYNONYMY (HYMENOPTEBA : FOSMICIDAE) - In another paper, now in press, I have discussed the confusion attendant on For- el's description of Adierzia, based on a stray worker of a single species and wrongly placed as a subgenus of Mono- morium. It has since been determined that two subsequent- ly described ants placed in different genera represent differ- ent castes of A. froggatti. The following synonymy is sug- gested here in order to avert proposal of a new name for Stenothorax McAreavey, which is preoccupied by Harris and by Agassiz:
Adierzia froggatti Forel
Monomorium (Aderzia) froggatti Forel, 1902, Rev. Suisse Zool., 10: 445-447, worker [minor] : original description. Machomyrma silvestrii Emery, 1914, Boll. Lab. Zool. Porti- ci, 8: 182, fig. 2, soldier; new synonymy. Stenothorax katerinae McAreavey, 1949, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 74:3-4, figs. 7-16, worker major [ergatoid?] ; worker minor; new synonymy.
Stenothorax McAreavey, nee Harris, nec Agassiz, with the genotype and sole species katerinae (loc. cit.) becomes an absolute synonym of Aderzia Fore1 by isogenotypy; new synonymy. - BY WILLIAM L. BROWN, JR., Museum of Comparative Zoology.
