FERRED TO PI3EIDOLE.- Pheidole gat& is the necessarj NEW CON RINATION for Aphaenogaster (Atto?tzy~r?71a) gatesi Wheeler, 1927, Psyche, 34: 44, worker (minor) ; type locality Rangoon, Burma. The types of A. gatpsi are really minors of some species of the
Pheidole stnythiesi group (=subgenus Ceratopheidole) . When com- pared directly with types of P. smythiesi, the gatesi cotypes showed differences in head shape and in details of the n~esonotun~ and post- petiole that are strong enough to indicate distinctness at the species level, at least until we have further knowledge of intraspecific varia- tion in this group. The type comparison was incidental to work done in European museums during 1963 under National Science Founda- tion Grant 0-23680. -W. L. Brown, TI-. Department of Enton~ology, Cornell University.
