Solenopsis gensterblumi Forel, 1901 valid

Solenopsis picta r. gensterblumi Forel, 1901g: 298 (w.) BRAZIL (Rio Grande do Sul). Neotropic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: syntype workers (numbers not stated). Primary type locality: Brazil: Pelotas (Gensterblum) (received from Wasmann). Primary type depository: MHNG (perhaps also NHMM). Type notes: Pacheco & Mackay, 2013: 159, mistakenly give the type-locality as Argentina: Bueos Aires, Serra de la Ventana (C. Bruch), and incorrectly designate a lectotype + paralectotypes from this series; the designation is redundant.
