Protonym: Formica exasperata
Authorship Smith, 1857a: 56
Forms s.w.
Bioregion Indomalaya
Locality BORNEO (East Malaysia: Sarawak)
Primary type information Primary type material: holotype (?) major worker. Primary type locality: Malaysia: Borneo, Sarawak, “SAR 2” (A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository: OXUM.
Type notes 1) Donisthorpe, 1932c: 444, cites only 1 major worker. 2) Although only a single specimen is present (OXUM) I have labelled it as a syntype, because Smith, 1857a implies in the original description that more than one was present at that time (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
