Diacamma versicolor
(Smith, 1857)
junior synonym of current valid taxon Diacamma rugosum (Le Guillou, 1842)
Ponera versicolor
Smith, 1857a:
65 (w.)
PHILIPPINES, BORNEO (East Malaysia: Sarawak).
Indomalaya.
Primary type information:
Type-material: 2 syntype workers. Type-localities: Philippines: “Phil. Isla. 42/22” (no collector’s name), and Malaysia (“Borneo”): Sarawak “SAR” (A.R. Wallace). Type-depository: BMNH.
Type notes:
The two Philippines syntypes are in BMNH. A supposed syntype specimen from “SAR” is in OXUM, but does not match the original description and is probably not Diacamma versicolor.
