Neoponera agilis Forel, 1901 valid

Neoponera (Eumecopone) agilis Forel, 1901j: 336 (w.) U.S.A. (California). Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: U.S.A.: “Cal.” (= California?) (J. Schmitt). Primary type depository: MHNG. Type notes: Forel, 1901j: 335, suspected that the locality was incorrect, and should be Central or South America. MacKay & MacKay, 2010: 199, suspected that “Cal.” was correctly “Col.” (= Colombia). However, their revision does not record this species from that country.
