Type notes:Emery, 1921c: 58, nominated specimens of Aphaenogaster striola subterraneoides Emery, sensuForel, 1890b: lxxi, misidentification, as the taxon Aphaenogaster homonyma. They are the same specimens that Cagniant, 1996a: 74, used for his name Aphaenogaster foreli; therefore Aphaenogaster homonyma has priority and is automatically the senior synonym of Aphaenogaster foreli.
