| Etymology | Littauer, 2025: 278, Table 1: The gender of this name was not correct in the original combination, as with Monomorium the correct neuter form would be tambourinense for this latinised word. The name is adjectival, meaning “from Mt. Tamborine”, which is named after a Yugambeh word from the Wangerriburra clan, meaning "wild lime tree" or "yam in a cliff" (Queensland Government 2025) and not named after the musical instrument. The spelling can not be changed (Art. 32.5.1). Under recombination with Chelaner (masculine), mandatory gender agreement (Art. 31.2) requires the form tambourinensis. |
