STIGMACROSHNS n. subgen.

Je suis oblige de renommer le sous-genre australien d'Acantho- lepis que j'avais appele AcrostigmaHNS, n'ayant pas remarque que ce nom avait ete deja employe par M. Emery pour un sous-genre de l'ambre, du genre PodomyrmaHNS Sm. Je donne donc le nom de Stig- macros aux Acantholepis FroggattiHNS, clivispinaHNS, australisHNS et BosiiHNS qui constituent le' groupe aberrant australien du genre.
