#299558 [Note: old determinations of Solenopsis molesta, by Smith, F. and others, were certainly misidentifications of Monomorium pharaonis Linnaeus, 1758. Roger, 1862c: 295, Mayr, 1872: 152, and Emery & Forel, 1879: 467, indicate that Solenopsis molesta Say, 1836, sensu Smith, F., is Monomorium pharaonis.]
