#310131	5	taxt	Polyrhachis eudora Polyrhachis eudora	species	unidentifiable	[Note: type material of Polyrhachis eudora is absent from BMNH and OXUM. A queen in OXUM and a worker in BMNH were formerly regarded as syntypes of this species. Both are labelled “Bac.” (=Bacan I.), the locality given by Smith, 1860b, and the queen has a Donisthorpe type label. However, it is apparent from Smith, 1860b’s description and figure that true Polyrhachis eudora belongs in subgenus Polyrhachis (Myrmothrinax), whereas both these specimens are of subgenus Polyrhachis (Myrma), and are not type material of Polyrhachis eudora (B. Bolton unpublished notes 1978).]
#310713	4	taxt	Atta geminata Solenopsis geminata	species	valid	[Note: Roger, 1862c: 289, incorrectly cites Formica geminata Fabricius, 1804 in his description of Solenopsis geminata minor Roger, 1862c, instead of Atta geminata Fabricius, 1804.]
#310733	2	taxt	Ectatona Ectatona	genus	unavailable	[Note: perhaps Ectatona is a misspelling of Ectatomma, but that is contradicted by the limited description of the genus provided; the author and date given by Viana & Haedo Rossi, 1957 make no sense.]
#311105	1	taxt	Goniomma Goniomma	genus	valid	[Type-species not Goniomma collingwoodi Espadaler, 1997b, unjustified subsequent designation by Jessen, 2020 (not paginated).]
#311112	2	taxt	Gressoria Gressoria	genus	unavailable	[Note: it is apparent from Clark, 1925b: 140, that Gressoria includes exactly the same taxa as the old Myrmecia (Myrmecia), back when the genus was subdivided into several subgenera. According to Clark, 1925b, “Gressoria contains Myrmecia gulosa, Myrmecia vindex, Myrmecia forficata, and their allies”.]
#311134	8	taxt	Harpegnathos Harpegnathos	genus	valid	[Note: Mayr, 1863a, Dalla Torre, 1893, Bingham, 1903 give Drepanognathus as senior synonym, but Harpegnathos has priority.]
#311287	1	taxt	Lobognathus Lobognathus	genus	synonym	[Note: the genus-group name Lobognathus was an erroneous entry by Enzmann, 1947b for Messor lobognathus Andrews, 1916a, hence Lobognathus is automatically a junior synonym of Veromessor (Brown, 1949a: 49).]
#311402	2	taxt	Saltatoria Saltatoria	genus	unavailable	[Note: it is apparent from Clark, 1925b: 140, that Saltatoria includes exactly the same taxa as the old Myrmecia (Promyrmecia), back when the genus was subdivided into several subgenera. According to Clark, 1925b, “Saltatoria contains M. (P.) aberrans [Myrmecia aberrans], pilosula [Myrmecia pilosula], mandibularis [Myrmecia mandibularis], and their allies”.]
#311438	15	taxt	Myrmica Myrmica	genus	valid	[Note: in recent years Seifert (Seifert, 1994a, Seifert, 1996b, Seifert, 2018) has made repeated attempts to resurrect Symbiomyrma, either as a subgenus of Myrmica, or as a separate genus. This is considered an unproductive exercise, and in this catalogue Symbiomyrma remains as a junior synonym, in accord with majority opinion.]
#311465	5	taxt	Myrmoxenus Myrmoxenus	genus	synonym	[Note: Buschinger, 1990b, Bolton, 1994 and Bolton, 1995b give Epimyrma as senior synonym, but Myrmoxenus has priority.]
#311939	1	taxt	Sulcomyrmex Sulcomyrmex	genus	unavailable	[Unavailable name (proposed without designation of type-species). Taxa included by Kratochvíl, 1941b are referable to Tetramorium (Bolton, 1976: 359, 364; Bolton, 1980: 196; Ogata, 1991b: 99; Bolton, 1995b: 48; Bolton, 2003: 227).]
#311941	5	taxt	Symbiomyrma Symbiomyrma	genus	synonym	[Note: Samšiňák, 1964 gives Sifolinia as senior synonym but Symbiomyrma has priority.]
#311943	9	taxt	Symbiomyrma Symbiomyrma	genus	synonym	[Note: in recent years Seifert (Seifert, 1994a, Seifert, 1996b, Seifert, 2007, Seifert, 2018) has made repeated attempts to resurrect Symbiomyrma, either as a subgenus of Myrmica, or as a separate genus. This is considered an unproductive exercise, and in this catalogue Symbiomyrma remains as a junior synonym, in accord with majority opinion.]
#312008	8	taxt	Tetraponera Tetraponera	genus	valid	[Note: Dalla Torre, 1893, Bingham, 1903, Emery, 1917a and Emery, 1921c give Sima as senior synonym, but Tetraponera has priority.]
#312109	5	taxt	†Armaniidae †Armaniinae	subfamily	valid	[Note: the author of this catalogue has reservations concerning the Borysenko, 2017 conclusion, and would prefer to regard this taxon as a stem-group subfamily of Formicidae, or even a separate family. Its synonymy with †Sphecomyrminae is by no means convincing.]
#312150	4	taxt	Dimorphomyrmii Dimorphomyrmecini	tribe	synonym	[Note: Emery, 1925d, and Engel & Grimaldi, 2005 give Dimorphomyrmecini as senior synonym, but Gesomyrmecini retains priority over Dimorphomyrmecini under Article 40.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th Edition), 1999: 46.]
#312179	6	taxt	Gesomyrmicinae Gesomyrmecini	tribe	valid	[Note: Emery, 1925d, and Engel & Grimaldi, 2005, give Dimorphomyrmecini as senior synonym, but Gesomyrmecini Ashmead, 1905c retains priority over Dimorphomyrmecini under Article 40.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th Edition), 1999: 46.]
#312186	8	taxt	Formicariae Formicidae, Formicinae, Formicini	family, subfamily, tribe	valid, valid, valid	Note 1: Heterogyna [unavailable name] Heterogynes Latreille, 1817g: 455 [as family-group name (Heterogynes)]. Unavailable name; not based on a genus rank taxon. [Notes (i): the family-group name was initially designated by Latreille, 1817g to include the tribes Formicaries (Formicidae) and Mutillaires (Mutillidae). Other authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries used this unavailable name in a variety of forms: Stephens, 1829b: 356 (Aculeata subsectio Heterogyna); Perty, 1833: 134 (Family Heterogyna); Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1835: 97 (Family Heterogynides); Haliday, 1836: 331 (as superfamily name, Hymenoptera stirps Heterogyna, to include the families Mutillidae, Dorylidae, Formicidae); Shuckard, 1840a: 188 (Hymenoptera, Heterogyna); Le Guillou, 1842: 313 (as family-group name, Heterogynes); Smith, 1851: 1 (Aculeata tribe Heterogyna); Smith, 1855a: 95 (Heterogyna, Formicidae); Smith, 1858a: 1 (Aculeata tribe Heterogyna); Smith, 1859c: 1 (Aculeata tribe Heterogyna); Smith, 1871c: viii (Heterogyna as superfamily, to include Formicidae, Poneridae, Myrmicidae, Mutillidae); Saunders, 1880: 202 (Heterogyna (= Formicidae + Myrmicidae + Poneridae)); White, 1884: 246 (Aculeata division Heterogyna); Dalla Torre, 1893: title page (Formicidae (Heterogyna)); Saunders, 1896: 16 (Heterogyna (= Formicidae)); Forel, 1899a: 116 (Heterogyna (Formicidae)); Forel, 1899b: 1 (Aculeata section Heterogyna); Bingham, 1903: 1 (tribe Heterogyna, family Formicidae); Wheeler, 1910a: 134 (Formicidae (Heterogyna)); (ii) not to be confused with Heterogynaidae (type-genus Heterogyna Nagy, 1969), a small family of apoid wasps.]
#312215	9	taxt	Formicariae Formicidae, Formicinae, Formicini	family, subfamily, tribe	valid, valid, valid	Note 2: Philopona [unavailable name] Philopona Kirby, 1837: 261 [as family-group name (Heterogyna race Philopona), containing only the family Formicidae]. Unavailable name, not based on a genus rank taxon. [Notes (i): Kirby, 1837 defines Philopona as, “all those genera that constitute Linné’s genus Formica, distinguished by their admirable industry, their wonderful economy, and the nests they construct.” By this definition Philopona is an absolute junior synonym of Formicidae; (ii) Westwood, 1839a: 217, refers to the “Sodales (or Philopona K.)”, which contains, “the single family Formicidae”, which “corresponds with the genus Formica of Linnaeus, and the Heterogyna of St. Fargeau.” Thus Philopona and Sodales are absolute synonyms, and both are junior synonyms of Formicidae.]
#312245	11	taxt	Formicariae Formicidae, Formicinae, Formicini	family, subfamily, tribe	valid, valid, valid	Note 4: Sodales [unavailable name] Sodales Westwood, 1839a: 217 [as family-group name (synonymous with Philopona), containing only the family Formicidae]. Unavailable name, not based on a genus rank taxon. [Note: Westwood, 1839a refers to the “Sodales (or Philopona K.)” which contains, “the single family Formicidae”, which “corresponds with the genus Formica of Linnaeus, and the Heterogyna of St. Fargeau.” Thus Philopona and Sodales are absolute synonyms, and both are junior synonyms of Formicidae.]
#312255	5	taxt	†Sphecomyrminae †Sphecomyrminae, †Sphecomyrmini	subfamily, tribe	valid, valid	[Note: the author of this catalogue has reservations concerning the Borysenko, 2017 conclusion, and would prefer to regard †Armaniinae as a stem-group subfamily of Formicidae, or even a separate family. Its synonymy with †Sphecomyrminae is by no means convincing.]
