#311684 [Note: although Myrma antedates Polyrhachis, the former has been treated as a subgenus of the latter since Forel, 1917: 251 (see Hung, 1967b: 396 for history). Dorow et al., 1997: 236, proposed the precedence of Polyrhachis over Myrma and that precedence was established by the ICZN (Opinion 1919) 1999: 92.]

#311686 [Note: all subgenera were given as provisional junior synonyms of Polyrhachis by Brown, 1973b: 178-184. The list was repeated in Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990: 19, and Tang et al., 1995: 117, with all subgenera listed as junior synonyms. They reverted to subgeneric status in Bolton, 1994: 50, and Bolton, 2003: 123. The entry of Chariomyrma, Hagiomyrma and Hedomyrma under the synonymy of Polyrhachis by Taylor & Brown, 1985: 131, is not considered as confirmation as the three subgenera all range outside the Austral Region.]
