SYNONYMOUS ANT NAMES. - The following new syno- nymy has recently 'been established:
Kyidris n& Brown (1949, Mushi, 20 :23-24, female) is a new synonym of Kyidris mutica Brown (1949, Mushi, 20: 3-6, fig. 1, worker). Of nests reared by Okamoto in Shiko- ku, the workers are typical of K. rnutica, while the females agree perfectly with the ~ormosan type of K. nuda. Dr. Yasumatsu has kindly made the necessary comparison. The families are relatively unusually small for dacetines, and differ in sculpture and pilosity from the workers. Lordomyrma nobilis Yasumatsu (1950, Ins. Matsumura- na, 17:75-78, fig. 2, worker, male) is a new synonym of Ro- geria azumai Santschi (1941, Mitt. schweiz. ent. Ges., 18: 275), making a new combination, Lordomyrma azumai (Santschi) . Santschi's description arrived belatedly in Japan. Types of the two forms, compared by Dr. Yasumat- su, prove to be identical. - W. L. BROWN, JR,, Museum of Comparative Zoology.
