#283031 | [Note: Polyrhachis carinata , sensu Smith, 1858a: 71, pl. 4, figs. 48, 49 (w.) South Africa, is a misidentification of Polyrhachis carinata , not a separate taxon. Mayr, 1863a: 444 treated Polyrhachis carinatus as a valid species, which led later authors (Bolton, 1973b: 318; Bolton, 1995b: 356; Dorow, 1995: 39) to mistakenly regard it as a junior homonym of Polyrhachis carinata . Smith, 1858a himself (p. 71, in text) said of his African material, “This insect is very probably the worker of Polyrhachis militaris,” an opinion repeated by Roger, 1863b: 6. Otherwise, Dalla Torre, 1893: 260, referred the African material to Polyrhachis cafrorum , while Emery, 1896j: 379; Wheeler, 1922a: 261; Emery, 1925d: 200, referred it to Polyrhachis rugulosa . Bolton, 1973b: 318, and later authors, referred it to Polyrhachis schistacea .] |
