• Replacement name for Prionopelta simillima Smith, 1860b [Junior primary homonym of Leptogenys simillima Smith, 1860b.]
• Combination in Prionopelta: new combination (unpublished).

• Senior synonym of Prionopelta majuscula: new synonymy (unpublished)
• Senior synonym of Prionopelta poultoni: new synonymy (unpublished).

• [Note: because the conditions of Article 23.9.1 of ICZN (4th edition, 1999) do not appear to have been satisfied, the previously overlooked Prionopelta nominata Smith, 1871a, the first proposed replacement name for the junior homonym Prionopelta simillima Smith, 1860b, takes priority over Prionopelta churchilli Donisthorpe, 1949h, Prionopelta majuscula Emery, 1897c, Prionopelta poultoni Donisthorpe, 1932c, and Prionopelta testacea Donisthorpe, 1947e (B. Bolton note, 17.v.2016).]
