• [Note: all records of the combination Tetramorium guineensis (Fabricius, 1793), from Roger, 1862c: 293, and Mayr, 1862: 740, up to 1976, are misidentifications properly attributed to Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nylander, 1846). Bolton, 1977: 70, 94, transferred the type material of Pheidole guineensis (Fabricius, 1793) to Pheidole. Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nylander, 1846) is the first available name for the misidentifications (Bolton, 1977: 70).]
• Combination in Tetramorium: Mayr, 1862: 740.
• Combination in Pheidole: Bolton, 1977: 94.
