12. Pheidole longiceps, Mayr. Paisley Bluff, in burrow nest under stone. Wrongly identified by Kirby and subsequently described by Forel as Pheidole deserticola(Rev. Suisse Zool., xviii, p. 34, 1910)
The following species were described by Froggatt, Horn Exped. Zool., Part 2, 1896. As there are some doubts concerning the two species, I append a few notes, having examined the types in the National Museum.
Examples compared with Lubbock's type of Melophorus bagoti, by my friend, Mr. W. C. Crawley, are identical with the types in the National Museum. This species is widely distributed throughout Central and Western Australia, and is known as the yellow honey-ant. The synonymy of this species is as follows:-
Melophorus bagoti Lubbock. Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. Zool., xvii, p. 51, 1883. Camponotus cowlei Frogg. Melophorus cowlei Wheeler, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist,
xxiv, p. 388, 1908. Camponotus (Myrmophyma) cozvlei Emery, Gen. Insect., Fasc. 183, p. 110, 1925.
(2) Camponotus midas Froggatt, l.c., p. 390, pl. xxvii, figs. 6-9. This species was wrongly placed in the subgenus Myrmophyma by Emery (Gen. Insect., Fasc. 183, p. 111, 1925). It is placed in the sub-genus Myrmosaulus, near C.(M.) aurocincta Smith. The workers and female are redescribed below.
