This species is named to honor our friend Steven O. Shattuck for his pioneering work on the ant genera of the Dolichoderinae, his invaluable contributions to the systematics of Australian ants, his important efforts in establishing the universal online ant research tool AntWiki.org, and for his and his wife Kathy’s invaluable and deeply appreciated help in reorganizing the MCZ ant collection. The species epithet shattucki is used as a Latin noun in the genitive case. |
