Diacamma striata (Smith, 1860) junior synonym of current valid taxon Diacamma rugosum (Le Guillou, 1842)

Ponera striata Smith, 1860b: 104 (w.) INDONESIA (Bacan). Australasia.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype worker. Primary type locality: Indonesia: Bachian (= Bacan I.) “Bac” (A.R. Wallace). Primary type depository: unknown (presumed lost, not in BMNH or OXUM). Type notes: 1) Donisthorpe, 1932c: 461, cites 1 worker in OXUM. 2) Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978, did not find any type material in BMNH or OXUM. 3) A single worker in OXUM fits the description reasonably well and is labelled “striata,” but its locality of “M” (Misool I.) is incorrect, not the stated type locality.
