[Note: Emery, 1893j: 2, comments that the specimen consists of the head and prothorax of Dolichoderus sp., the rest of the body is Platythyrea sp. Emery, 1911e: 30 (footnote) repeats this information. Brown, 1975: 9, refers Ponera ruficornis to Platythyrea as “nomen dubum et oblitum Emery, 1911e: 28.” This compound specimen is probably best regarded as an unidentifiable taxon, incertae sedis in Ponera.]

[Note: {ref 124570}: 2, comments that the specimen consists of the head and prothorax of {tax 429079} sp., the rest of the body is {tax 430140} sp. {ref 124702}: 30 (footnote) repeats this information. {ref 123055}: 9, refers {tax 446395} to {tax 430140} as “<i>nomen dubum et oblitum</i> {ref 124702}: 28.” This compound specimen is probably best regarded as an unidentifiable taxon, <i>incertae sedis</i> in {tax 430125}.]
