Santschia Forel, 1906 junior synonym of current valid taxon Monomorium Mayr, 1855

Santschia Forel, 1906a: 65 (in text) Type-species: Santschia intrudens (now: unresolved junior homonym, junior synonym of Monomorium santschii)

Type notes: Automatic absolute junior synonym of Wheeleria santschii Forel, 1905e (now Monomorium santschii Forel, 1905e) as both names are based on the same type-material.

[First replacement name for Wheeleria Forel, 1905e; junior homonym of Wheeleria Tutt, 1905: 37 (Lepidoptera).]
[Note: Forel, 1906a: 64, writes, “je me réserve, au cas où le nom de Wheeleria Forel, 1905e aurait été déjà employé de donner celui de Santschia intrudens à la Fourmi parasite découverte par M. Santschi.” A unique case because while the genus-group name Wheeleria Forel, 1905e is a junior homonym, its species-group name Monomorium santschii Forel, 1905e is not. Therefore Santschia Forel, 1906a becomes the first replacement name for Wheeleria Forel, 1905e, while Monomorium intrudens Forel, 1906a: becomes an absolute junior synonym of Monomorium santschii Forel, 1905e.]
