- [Note: all records of the combination Tetramorium guineensis , from Roger, 1862c: 293, and Mayr, 1862: 740, up to 1976, are misidentifications properly attributed to Tetramorium bicarinatum . Bolton, 1977: 70, 94, transferred the type material of Pheidole guineensis to Pheidole. Tetramorium bicarinatum is the first available name for the misidentifications (Bolton, 1977: 70).]
