Myrmica rugifrons Smith, 1858a: 124 (q.) INDIA. Indomalaya.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype queen. Primary type locality: “India (Penang)” (no further data). Primary type depository: unknown (“Coll. East India House”). Type notes: 1) In the original description the locality is given as “India (Penang)”. Penang is in West Malaysia, far from India. 2) Smith, 1871a: 326, gives “India; Penang”, implying two separate localities; but the original description implies that only a single specimen is present.
