Platythyrea pilosula (Smith, 1858) valid
Ponera pilosula Smith, 1858a: 95 (w.) BRAZIL. Neotropic.
Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers (number not stated). Primary type locality: Brazil: (no further data). Primary type depository: BMNH. Type notes: 1) Donisthorpe, 1932c: 474, cites 1 worker in BMNH (confirmed by Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978). 2) A remounted worker in BMNH is labelled “type” and has a red disc. Apart from this the specimen has only a square of yellow paper and the label “Smith coll. Presented by Mrs Farren White.” A second worker, that has not been remounted, has the same labels but lacks the “type” disc, and has a white rectangular label “Frstrm”. Type locality given by Smith, 1858a is merely “Brazil”. This is absent from both specimens (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
