| Type notes |
1) The specimen cited as holotype by Sharaf et al., 2021: 28, does not match data given in the original description for either holotype or paratypes of Monomorium harithe, but does correspond with the data given for Monomorium najrane. 2) Collingwood & Agosti, 1996: 301, say “All type material is housed in NHMB and duplicates placed in appropriate institutes and museums of the contributing countries”; this apparently was never done. |
