Pachycondyla tridentata Smith, 1858a: 106 (w.) BORNEO (East Malaysia: Sarawak). Indomalaya.

Primary type information: Primary type material: holotype (?) worker. Primary type locality: Malaysia: Borneo, Sarawak, “SAR.”, and “Borneo. 57/36” (no collector’s name). Primary type depositories: BMNH, OXUM. Type notes: 1) No indication of number of specimens is given. 2) Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978, cites 3 worker syntypes (2 BMNH, 1 OXUM). 3) Of the 2 BMNH syntypes, one has two data discs, “SAR.” and “Borneo. 57/36.” BMNH accession register gives: “1857 no. 36 (May 2) Borneo. Purchased of Stevens”. The second is labelled as “P. tridentata Sm. type” and has a note in Donisthorpe’s handwriting, “Borneo. Sarawak”. 4) The OXUM syntype (labelled only “SAR.”) has been remounted in the past by cutting short the large pin through the thorax, and driving it through a piece of card. In the BMNH specimens the original pin is the only one present (Bolton (unpublished notes) 1978).
