Protonym: Ponera melina
| Authorship | Roger, 1860: 291 |
|---|---|
| Forms | w.q.m. |
| Bioregion | Palearctic |
| Locality | EUROPE |
| Primary type information | Primary type material: syntype worker, syntype queen, syntype male (numbers not stated, perhaps only one of each). Primary type locality: U.S.A.: Carolina (error) (no collector’s name). Primary type depository: MNHU. |
| Type notes | 1) Baroni Urbani & de Andrade, 2003a: 251, cite only 1 worker, 1 queen in MNHU; the male appears to be lost. 2) Brown, 1958g: 334, regarded this taxon as very dubiously present in U.S.A. 3) Baroni Urbani, 1977d: 9, indicated that the type locality should be Europe, adding that Carolina was almost certainly a labelling error. |
